  • SO nice to see and hear the inspirational and optimistic touch... modern broadcasters kindly take note.

    After all, you are paid a LOT of OUR money. Us less fortunate would like to be cheered up...

    Best wishes,

    Nick

  • I'll second that. Listen to the BBC now in the morning (especially Five Live & R4) and all you want to do is go back to bed because of the all the early morning negativity.

  • Brilliant theme tune. Graphics dated a bit, but not too bad. Good to see Frank Bough turned up wearing normal clothes and not lingerie.

  • That comment gave me a wonderful belly-laugh, thank you so much.

  • My God...what a trip down memory lane for me. I was the Producer at Breakfast Time in Lime Grove who devised these opening titles. Many early morning shoots to produce this one....had totally fogotten how good they were (they don't make them like that any more)

    Those were the early days of exciting tv formats. I then went on to help produce Kilroy which was also an exciting new tv format. What fun.

  • When about in May was this broadcast?

  • Health & Safety would have a fit if these were shown nowadays, because of the reckless way the man at 1:00 is getting on the train.

  • In This Clip, From 0:22 To 1:49, It Was BBC-TV's BBC News' Breakfast Time Video Open From Tuesday Morning, May 20, 1986.

  • I'm sure I vaguely remember this theme despite it supposedly changing in 1987... when I turned 2.

  • how nice and gentle voices they had in those days, now its just noisy crashing music .and flashing idents. i remember this before going off to school god how time has gone im 33 now lol

  • Love the chimes and how the music builds up. I must say, this, TVam and especially Channel 4 Daily (RIP) opening themes seem so brilliant compared to what came after.

  • @lintvcyprus Of course nowadays it would be less of the titles and on with the headlines! NEWS!

  • Just after the announcer says "A very good morning to you from BBC1", you can hear a womans voice in the background say "5" and you can just here her counting down to the start of the titles.
