It's the only Bond film I can think of that's been shown on Sky Movies.

Good intro news!

No wonder they axed this awesome look, with people calling them tombstones.

It sounds like the Simpsons theme, but it's actually Sky's musical logo of the era. Those five notes also turn up in the other Sky idents of the era. The '96 tombstone look was the last Sky look to have an accompanying musical logo; the 1997 look ditched the concept.

Sky News is Channel 3 North East lol!

I know nearly everyone would have known that but seen that it hasn't been noted, I thought I might as well say it.

The Sky music kicked ass back then.

Hey can you please tell me who composed this theme?

Listen at 0.50 I'm sure that's the Simpsons theme they've seeded into the news theme?
