For the 5th series in 2000, The Big Bang was given a major revamp starting with a new logo.

Just some of the show's research team: Michelle, Megan,
Andrea and Catherine with Gareth and Violet
on the new set for the 5th series of The Big Bang in 2000


The 6th series of The Big Bang was shot and broadcast early in 2001. This was to be Gareth and Violet's last series as the show's presenters, as Gareth & Violet decided to concentrate on launching their own production company WhizzBang TV.

The Big Bang continued for a short while with new presenters but was cancelled by the ITV network in 2004.
