They produced a DVD of these programmes back in 2004 and you can still buy second hand (or even brand new) copies of them on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=50+years+of+bbc+television+news&_sacat=11232

Well worth buying for such a great price. From memory, as well as the documentary episodes, it also contains a behind the scenes of BBC News featurette from 2004. At the time it was contemporary but is now starting to look prehistoric!

It was the 2004 Nationals theme but it was slightly altered and the pitch was different. Listen to the normal version first and then the 50 Years version then you'll hear the difference.
