( February 2014 ) Pre-titles clip Initial Saturday Night Takeaway logo, used from 8 June 2002 until 21 March 2009. Before the titles, a cold open is shown, which always climaxes with either Ant or Dec -- sometimes both of them or someone else who is there with them -- exclaiming `` Roll the titles ! ''. Series 1 -- 2, 9 -- 13 : Backstage ( series 1, 2, 10, 11 and 12 is a funny story before the title sequence, the entire series 9 and series 13, show 1 is a detail before opening titles. ) Series 3 and 4 : Dressing room ( series 3, show 1 was set in a pub and series 4, show 1 was a dream sequence ) Series 5 and 6 : Outside dressing rooms Series 7 and 8 : `` London Studios Canteen '' ( series 8, show 1 was set in the control room and series 8, show 6 also included a pub ) From the majority of series 13, the cold open was dropped and replaced by an opening performance from that night 's musical guest. The latter was later removed. The titles From series 1 -- 4, the titles begin with Dec knocking on Ant 's door to tell him it is time for the show to start. They then run through vast amounts of multi-coloured brick walls and they get exhausted, before one more run, jumping into the title screen. From series 5 -- 9, the titles begin with Ant & Dec running down a street at dusk and leaping onto the side of a house. They then leap onto the side of another house and run past its window, though Ant temporarily stops to admire an attractive woman in a towel and wearing a face mask. Dec pulls him forward and they jump off the edge again, this time over a motorway and at first appearing to land face down on the ground, but they are actually on the side of the building opposite where they just jumped off. It is dark by this time and they start running up the second building as it were a horizontal platform, before emerging at the top. Ant somersaults onto the top of a final building and Dec spins round onto it. After landing, they look at each other as if to say `` never again ! ''. They enter through a `` STUDIO '' door with the words `` ON AIR '' on both sides of it. STUDIO and the two ON AIRs light up as Ant & Dec enter through the door and then the camera zooms out to reveal that the studio door is on the `` & '' of a giant `` ANT & DEC 's SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY ''. From series 10 -- 12, the titles begin with Ant & Dec coming out of a barber 's shop in the middle of the day. Ant pulls a napkin off of Dec 's collar and they walk past a few people, including a milkman and a girl in a yellow jacket. The duo smile at each other and then a series of motorbikes go past, but the drivers stop to let Ant & Dec on the passenger seat of one bike each, in order to ride them to the Saturday Night Takeaway studio. They ride past a large billboard with that week 's guest announcer / guest performer ( s ), who wave ( s ) to them and Ant & Dec wave back. After the motorbikes pass over the Tower Bridge, Ant & Dec get off and wave goodbye to the riders. They run halfway down a set of stairs which are lit up, and meet six attractive female dancers -- three on the left next to Ant and three on the right next to Dec. Dec has a quick dance but Ant just stares at them and laughs. He pulls Dec away and they run down the rest of the stairs. The scene then cuts to them arriving at The London Studios. They run inside and the camera shoots up to the roof area, where the show 's logo appears. From series 13 the same titles were used but feature a revised logo and changes to the colour scheme of some of the lights -- now turquoise instead of gold. On the final show of the series, the theme tune was changed to fit with the show being broadcast live from the deck of the ship MV Britannia in Barcelona. The final portion of the titles was also adjusted to Ant & Dec running onto the ship instead of them running into the studio. For the finale of series 14, the final portion of the titles was adjusted to Ant & Dec running towards Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World 's Magic Kingdom Park. Also, in series 14, the starting title sequence has been shortened for unknown reasons. Starting games This section does not cite any sources.

( February 2014 ) At the start of each show, Ant & Dec always perform a short comedy sketch, usually based on something that has happened in the news recently : e.g. when a celebrity complained after a reporter tried to photograph them on their holidays, Ant pretended to get angry with the camera crew and demanded they stop filming. The cameras were briefly switched off while Dec tried to calm Ant down and when they came back on, Ant & Dec had switched jackets. After the sketch, they announce what 's coming up on the show and then Ant goes up into the audience and starts talking to some of them. He usually picks on two or three people and says something embarrassing about them and then picks on a third or fourth person and announces that they will be playing a game live in the studio by saying `` I think you better come with me, as we play... ''. A lot of research goes into these games and they involve the person 's family and friends. Games include : Mr and Mesmerised Wedding Daze Court in the Act Where 's Your Shed At ? STOP !
