* NoBudget: The show began this transition in 2000 once the “Egg” graphics were replaced due to lower than usual viewership, but it didn’t get really low until Andy Collins took over as host in 2002 - Carlton transitioned the show from its usual weekly weekend slot to a daily teatime slot, which meant the grand prize was reduced, the set was recycled from the 2000-2001 series instead of keeping the 2001-2002 era set, there was no proper audience; instead using canned noises, and questions in all rounds were recycled from Les' era, to the point even whole Big Money games were recycled.

* TitleSequence:
** The Monkhouse and Bygraves eras went with a simple sequence featuring the families and the show's logo on Mr. Babbage.
** 1987 (Les' first series) and 1988-1990 went with similar openings as well, except with different logos.
** 1990 saw the first proper opening for the show. A very simple premise featuring stick figures and pound coins creating the Double Money and Big Money logos, and eventually the Family Fortunes logo before transitioning to the set to introduce the families. Originally, this used the same theme as the 1987 and 1988-1990 intros, but it was changed in 1993 to the version of the theme everyone is familiar with.
** 1995 saw a new opening featuring a family of Eggs moving around a white blocky world formed up by the FF symbol. The Eggs create the Double Money text, and then a large egg rotates to reveal the Big Money logo printed on the back of him. The eggs then form the Family Fortunes lettering and appear on the top. Originally, the logo was blue and pink, but in 1998, the colours were changed to purple and pink.
** 2000 saw a cheaper looking intro featuring floating pound symbols, the Double Money and Big Money logos, and the show's different catchphrases.
** 2002 saw an even cheaper intro featuring floating pound coins moving around the Double Money and Big Money logos, then they turn into a set of people silhouettes which introduce the families before the footage closes and the Family Fortunes logo zooms down. This was used for Les' final series and Andy Collins' series.
