You'll notice straight away that there are different shots in a different order. Here's a side-by-side comparison:

It seems the Amazon Freevee version has wider shots of the cast and the Channel 10 version has tighter shots of the cast. Here's the side-by-side again but with the Channel 10 title shots reordered to match the order of Amazon Freevee's titles:

Biggest change from recent years is not only the dropping of cast credits, but character names - both of which have been a permanent fixture since 2015 and many of the prior title sequences have featured character names.

What do you think of the new titles? IMO not great. The grading is lacking, the transitions aren't very neat, the wider shots mean you can't see the cast very clearly and there have been MUCH better produced titles in the past - but the new version of the theme is gorgeous 😍👏

Between the two, I like the opening shot of the Freevee one but prefer the closer framing of the Channel 10 one PLUS i want names/credits - so here's my cut (not perfect, but gives you the idea):

AND while i'm here, I still think the best variation on the theme that's still fresh is (without question) by Garth Ploog. So with that...:

Baffling they've got different versions and considering 10 are reportedly not showing end-credits baffling to remove them from the opener. Indeed the shots look a bit empty without them - it's a situation where extra on screen clutter actually improves things.
