Recorded from BBC1 on DVD Recorder and converted to MPEG. This features the countdown and Big Ben announcing the arrival of 2007. Plus the brilliant Fireworks begin!
It's 150 years old. You can't just replace the great clock of westminster. It's like putting the leaning tower of pissa straight. I think it's superbly accurate for it's age.
You do realise the westminster chimes are meant to play before the hour strikes don't you? That is then followed by the striking of the hour at 00:25 in this video.

It chimes on the minute before the hour. So 11:59 chime then 12:00 bong. I should know i have it on my PC.

Big Ben chimed a few seconds too early. They should replace its innards with new technology that will make its time proper GMT.

I remember those first few minutes of 2007, with my face hardly daring to move away from the TV! Us Brits sure know how to throw one heck of a party!
