Never appreciated how cool that graphic and music is. You can see the lighting striking the mast with the heavy banging drums (that's the news coming into them) and then it gets transmitted back out to the viewer with that circular wave pattern and the music to match. Back when the BBC knew what it was doing.
@@ajs41 Yep - I don't think people realise just how stringent things are in that respect. the delivery guidelines all UK broadcasters work to have it all laid out in them and you can download them for free to read them.
I think this bulletin was from Tuesday 18th February 1992 as John Humphrys was scheduled to present this edition, Neil Kinnock was still Labour leader as seen in this clip, and it was during this very week (15th to 21st Feb 1992) that Stefan Kiszko was declared innocent of the 1975 murder of Lesley Molseed.
Too young to understand or remember that murder (I was only five) but the 1992 General Election was my first time voting. Here I would have been not yet twenty two!
I was just five when Lesley Molseed was murdered, so don't remember it. Here I would have been not yet twenty two. The 1992 General Election was the first time I voted as I was just a year too young for the previous one.
thank you for this interesting insight in to life in the 90's- remember it like it was yesterday :') snowflakes these days will never understand the struggle, damn the priviledged! from sue x
+Callum Heggie It can't be from 1993, as we see in the clip John Major and Neil Kinnock in the Commons at question time. Kinnock resigned as Labour leader after the 1992 election, replaced by John Smith. So this has to be 1992 and not 1993 as you say?
Oh really, do tell us more. Be as detailed as you like, Anthony. Edit; can't watch any historical U.K. telly clip without this kind of bollocks in a comment somewhere.
This is the greatest BBC News theme and visuals of all time.
This music used to frighten me when I was a child on those rare occasions where I was allowed to stay up late and caught the nine o'clock news
I loved it - would've been 6 or 7 at the time
This music didn't frighten me as I was in my early twenties then!
The bombastic theme tune according to Room 101🤣🤣🤣. It was odd though, especially that antenna looking thing.
I can't never understand how music this glorious can be frightening, even to a child. I remember being 3 or 4 and absolutely loving this.
It weirdly frightened me too and appeared in my nightmares aged 5 or so 😅

Best news intro ever.
I wish they would bring it back. So dramatic.
El sello de calidad de la BBC.
This is so epic!
Best BBC News theme ever
Best news intro of all time, though probably not great for those with epilepsy.
It wouldn't have affected them. They were already checking for things like that by 1988 when these graphics started.

Dramatic, iconic
Superior
Best BBC News theme ever
I never knew that John Humprhys presented BBC News!
He was quite a good presenter when he was given the script.
I think this bulletin was from Tuesday 18th February 1992 as John Humphrys was scheduled to present this edition, Neil Kinnock was still Labour leader as seen in this clip, and it was during this very week (15th to 21st Feb 1992) that Stefan Kiszko was declared innocent of the 1975 murder of Lesley Molseed.
A truly shocking miscarriage of justice.

EESK
1993 actually

@@johnking5174 Also the main story where Stefan Kiszko was acquitted happend in Feb 1992.
It was bland and stuffy
What was?
@@ajs41the subject of the video. Keep up.
(I disagree with Jack, but how you have misunderstood him?)
@@MarkPentler The news was bland and stuffy? I've never thought of it like that, from this time period.
@@ajs41No News was good news, and only bad news sells, in the end, the BBC would tell it how it was from computer to our screens.
Back when Britain was British
Oh really, do tell us more. Be as detailed as you like, Anthony.
