The best BBC News themes

1:58 - Listen to that horn sounding for the Six O'Clock News, as if Genghis Khan was going to come riding into the studio on horseback

Rest in peace Peter Sissons

1:58 The GOAT theme!

[@user-tv2bz2ci6b]

4:30 is the GOAT for me, but all of George Fenton's creations were stellar! Unlike the dross banging of saucepans that we've had to endure for the last 25 years.

[@mezykin]

Just simply sounds majestic

[@AdamThompson-d7e]

Nine O’Clock news theme was best BBC News theme 👍🏻

[@wrexham1983]

Bring them back !!!

[@SteinbachZitherial]

Excellent compilation, well done. Unlike today’s wimpy BBC news beeps, proper sobering signature tunes, rather as if the music was saying SIT UP AND LISTEN because THIS AFFECTS YOU! Does anyone else think the sequence at 0:28 is reminiscent of Fourscore ?

Unsure about foreshore. I found this article online: Instead of managing files and folders, forScore lets you search, sort, and browse through your collection using metadata like composer, genre, and key.

To me as someone who grew up with the pips, these themes just sound like any news station anywhere. Adding the pips from the radio into the news intro, and the electronic instruments and slow build up for the extended version for the News 24 countdown on digital, is just iconic, and given it's referencing BBC radio with the pips, there's no other station that theme could work on.

4:02 gets me every time !!!

[@jacksugden8190]

One O’Clock News theme was close, bit faster maybe.

[@memati7199]

The last one is the best news theme ever, it was from 1989.

1:59 Cannot be beaten! Awesome 4:30 is ace too

[@mezykin]

4:30 is the one I grew up with in the 90s!

[@Greenpoloboy3]

@@mezykin I remember hearing it and thinking something really bad and serious was going on. I'd sometimes hide lol. So dramatic its awesome

[@SigmaRho2922]

These themes stopped being used in late 1999.

[@jacksugden8190]

Only the George Fenton music

[@MrGriser]

May 1999 actually!

Who was the female presenter with justin webb ?

[@maxmceddie]

Sara Coburn. I remember these titles well. 0:28 - I _might_ be late for school 0:47 - I *will* be late for school 1:01 - I'm too ill for school
