This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have the opening and closing themes to BBC Newyddion from the 1999 generic era?

Thanks.

You're welcome. I'm slowly trying to introduce a cause that sees people being generous with the themes they have rather than selfishly keeping it for themselves. What's wrong with spreading a little happiness as you go by? In this case, Newyddion title music is my pixie dust.

I lost most of my TV files when my laptop broke down a few weeks back, so your generosity is well noted, and if I can ever return the favour, I'll be more than happy to do so.

Sharing is caring.

The 1999 titles for BBC Newyddion are a bit of an oddity to me. When they went widescreen, it looks as though instead of using a proper widescreen version of the titles, they just cropped them. Compare these images, 4:3, 14:9 and 16:9:

Plus they look like they're being played in reverse - what's the programme title being shown and the beginning and just an 'N' at the end?

It was done deliberately just to annoy you 13 years later. Very prescient of them, I'd say.

Confused What's your problem? I'm just giving my opinion on some TV pres - doesn't matter whether it's 13 years old or 13 days old. I don't know if you mean to be sarcastic or not, but it doesn't come across very well.
