THE OLDEN DAYS 1980S WERE BEST TUNES AND GOOD INTRUDUCTION. THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT WHAT ARE THEY WATTING FOR?
-
that theme tune used to scare me so much.

@johngr70 The earlier version of this same theme music might just top it - look in the "Mrs thatcher resigns" clip on the right.

This is one of the world's best news theme ever done! Does anybody know who composed it? I remember it from holidays in the UK in the 1990's. It is best with the build segment (during which the news headings are read) and then this one - total climax. The only theme that might challenge it is the Soviet Union news around 1989-1990. I still haven't been able to trace it but I remember watching the news just to hear it.

This is one of my favourite news theme tune. I wish they would return to this.

BBC News titles at their very best. Wonderful theme and striking visual.
-
Love the theme tune; better than the beeps and electronic sounds that they have now.

@steeviebops same! i think this is a great tune but it takes me right back to having to go to bed at 9pm

Fantastic presentation. Always reminds me of bedtime though, was only 11 when this was shown.

I think this is the best version of the BBC news, it is very profesisional and seems like the programme is serious/important.
The modern version is not that great.
Great memories. they could always bring it back like the way ITN brought back the dongs for news at ten.
Please BBC.... I urge you to return to the serious broadcaster you once were.
Get rid of Jonathan Ross and bring back this tremendous theme tune. The graphics are still modern. Please return to this immediately. It made the news sound serious and it still was.
Apparently that was one of the reasons why Martyn Lewis left. He was a fantastic journalist.
The dumbed down BBC will collapse if it keeps on ignoring the people. Stop being Orwellian and listen to us!

Totally agree with you. A great intro that didn't need millions of pounds, hours of meetings and young students trying to 'express their artistic abilites'. The 90s ruled.
