BBC Six O'clock News - April 1996

[19STU84]

Now that is what you call an epic theme

[tugwilsond8907]

Best news tune ever made! BBC News intros of the nineties were epic and i cant think of a bad one. Shame we are stuck with what we have now

[Hammadmossop1988]

I love this six 0 clock news tune its better than the silly beeps we have now

She was 52 years in April 1996, turned 53 in October same year, but looks anyway a little bit younger.

What's that "screen" where the ident and the titles are coming. I don't get that. It's so confuse. Can someone tell me.

[crawleygat37]

The opener was mostly computer generated. Only the small area where the news readers were sitting was real.

[AidanLunn]

What that screen is actually supposed to be is the BBC's coat of arms.

[MidlandNinja]

we should leave the european union

[crawleygat37]

You can imagine Mr Boring John Major saying, 'People who think we can leave the European Union are living in cloud cuckoo land.' Then pulling that stupid expression and getting that applause as if he's made some sort of really cool joke. The European union is rapidly becoming a dictatorship BUT in the current economic climate, we need a strong voice in the world rather than a few dozen countries with only a small voice.

Thanks for da upload.

Anna Ford is looking simply gorgeousness itself.

[Tripp1993]

Get the 1993-1999 music back! The 1999-present music

is idiotic!

[BCJ1985]

Totally agree, the current music is hideous. Although one point I must argue, beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

[angelicMisha]

I was 7 when this was aired :O But yeah I totally agree with you, that music sounds has so much authority. The beeping music is just....gah, and when you listen to the parody that Bill Bailey made, it makes it even more ridiculous!

[crawleygat37]

The new music is supposed to sound like jungle drums beating out the news to the nation. It is also part of the BBC political correctness policy. BBC news is crap now a days. They latch on to a nothing story and milk it to death. Sky news is far better..!! Make the BBC pay to view and do away with the poor value for money licence fee..!!

[lelvish1]

I agree with that too. I remember watching the News with this theme as a child and it is soo much more dynamic than the modern "drumbeats".

[olliewally255]

I agree, anna ford saying such a thing is so abnormal

[hogwild94]

You should have seen her hosting Have I Got News For You. At one point, she blurted out "f***ing hell"!!!

[TJOPootertoot]

Good job on the compression!

Wow, Anna Ford saying "cloud cuckoo-land." Doesn't get any better than that.

[Hasanyerebasan]

How can ı download the tune ??? Please Help :(

[martinquested]

A really nice, elegant progression in the tune from the previous version... except the very end bit, which lacks bass. Shame.

[videonut33]

THEY GOT THE 1984-1998 THEME!

[mason642]
