I have to say I love the new countdown and music, very dramatic, particularly the booms on :22 and :14 and towards the end of the countdown. Like the way the image of TVC zooms in. Would be nice if when the stripes come in at the end the N24 logo appears.

That really does look and sounds like. We are the BBC, We are the Best. I love the fact they have FINALLY cut the pictures to the music. With fast shots of the BBC logo on various things at each thunderclap, which there are alot more off now.

Yay!

Ok - Taste issue - which could be a criticism -

If you look at the New York frame at 18 seconds in the RM file posted you see the swoosh (for want of a better name for it) heading towards the Empire State building. Is that a little bit insensitive bearing in mind Sept 11th 2001?


I'd be more bothered about the lasers shotitng around helecopyters myself but I suppose it wouldn't get into Warballs then.

I love it. The music is perfectly timed with the pictures and the whole thing just screams "we're better than anyone else". Which is fab. These nightime ones sound interesting if nowt else.

BBC News 24 Countdown - Through the ages.

A trip down memory lane, from the first, the tweaked, and now the new.

The rapid crash zoom in and outs on the satellite dish are quite poor though in my opinion - makes it look more like Top of the Pops!
