1989 best!

THIS IS THE BBC! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OTHERS - THEY ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS!!!

1993 one scared me as a child ;-0

@nakedmambo "get shut of it"! I haven't heard that phrase for years

Thanks!

And for me the 60/s early seventies version of the theme was the best, although I dislike none of them. I think using the time countdown pips was a good idea - ties in with BBC radio.

I find it highly amusing that up until the point when Labour came to power (2000 plus or minus 3 years), their theme was mostly blue. Then, they changed it all to red. I guess that was because it became Blair's / Brown's Broadcast Corporation.

The current one is the best!

@TheMcooper17 But you said "the beeping", though, which led me to believe that you meant the beeping as a whole, not just the current re-mix of the original beeping theme.

[TheMcooper17]

@AidanLunn i meant the one that started in '06

[AidanLunn]

@TheMcooper17 It's actually 12 years old - it began in 1999

[TheMcooper17]

so the beeping is 5 years old. wonder what the next chang is

@LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1 and bloody awful! I expect professionalism from the BBC, not amateuristic efforts like your idea!
