The second would probably work with the Chucklevision theme too.

could someone download them and post them here?
thanks

What's more, using the free VPN within Opera, I can use the European location setting and access the video perfectly fine. That's probably the easier solution to the problem.

Let Ravensbourne University know, and let them go after the uploaders with a content strike with You Tube...

Did send them a message (a few weeks after the page launched, complete with a Youtube example) but never received a response. But to be fair I think because of CoVid, as a University they would have had more important issues to think about.

Also, the copyright surrounding BBC content is very strict, so if your trying to obtain something as a collector, it’s not easy to get hold of no matter how sincere you are.

This one is interesting: https://www.ravensbourne.ac.uk/bbc-motion-graphics-archive/bbc-news-24-ident

The potted history has - to my knowledge - some new details. I never knew it was called the 'news ear' and was based on the shape of TVC!

The video, though, appears to be some kind of trail sting, rather than the actual live-rendered titles described.

Plus, it also says they could ‘change certain elements every hour’. But as I remember it, it was only the rather crudely animated rotating top-story headline that ever changed. It makes the titles sound rather more impressive than they were.

I think the only other thing they could change was the position from which the globe started rotating from, the idea being it would start off wherever the story featured in the flying headline originated.

I never realised that. Clearly that subtlety was lost on me - presumably because most of the time the top story would be from the UK.
