My favourites are "The Original Funk", "Space Pop", "Squelchy Grooves", "Minimalist Techno" (version 1), "Electric Stripes", and "Spinning Orbs". "The Remix" is good too.

Flying Disc is the one I remember the most growing up with I have to say

[@RandomRadioJottings]

The original closing theme heard at 3:10 comes from the end of a track by John Baker (BBC Radiophonic Workshop) called New Worlds

[@DogeViper]

That gave me a strong flow of nostalgia at 3:59 my hart stopped that’s how long I haven’t heard the outro and intro at 2:45

[@bamber119]

[@angelacooper2661]

I well remember the original theme as I would have been between the ages of two and seventeen. Best of the lot!

[@ajs41]

Very true.

[@Adadevoh2000]

"Electric Stripes" and "Spinning Orbs" give me a throwback to "The Original Funk" and "The Remix". 😄

My favourite is 'Squelchy Groove' (1:00) but I also remember watching when 'Space Pop' (0:32) and 'Minimalist Techno' (1:23) were both used

[@Paul_PTVOwner]

2:57

[@pushthebutton-g6h]

My first one was electric stripes

[@frankieepurr]

I was alive during futuristic funk but earliest i remember was electric stripes

[@OscarFan2022]

Wow!

[@rajnirvan3336]

I liked the 1st 4 intros.

[@ryanmcbain203]

So Newsround first aired just a month after my Mom was Born.

[@derekhart3308]

Like Doctor Who, Blue Peter, The nain News and Newsround the theme remixes are the best! I Wonder who would be in the Guinness Book of Records for most remakes .....🤔

[@joemercedeslivestreamchann8885]

02:44 and 04:00 Nostalgic intro and outro

[@TemporaryOofed]

My MAN

[@FiremanSamBoy2008]

I think September 2019 one is nostalgic.

[@issysmee6140]

Agreed.

[@T540L3R]

Giving a reminder… 2008 - 2014 Theme was actually used in September 2008

[@Evie_SG]

Nice

[@Evie_SG]

I'm used to molecular. But I do remember hearing spinning orbs at one point

[@AlcatelMobile-th6zd]

Newsround sounds similar to Grandstand

[@timerchOfficialyt]

We can all agree that 2008-2019 was THE era for Newsround, right?

[@andywood7784]

The original is unbeatable and not made on a Casio keyboard

[@issysmee6140]

Yep,indeed.

[@FiremanSamBoy2008]

@@andywood7784 I think the new theme is better tbh, it makes me really excited to see what news they have for us.

[@ajs41]

No, for me it was from about 1985 to 1997.

[@heene]

I remember John Craven and that music. Why so many presenters now?

[@ticketyboo2456]

Proof here that the original is the best... maybe as a seventies kid I'm biased but I think not.

[@nowster]

The original theme was a slowed down version of Ted Heath's Johnny One Note. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boC3kJ-Jl7eohqM

[@jaycee1980]

3:10 Would you like to study philosophy ? :)

[@jaycee1980]

and I got it wrong.. it was "Spare Parts Express" i was thinking of

[@irenelowe9739]

Old newsround is way better than the woke, modern one, change my mind
