BBC News played at 75 second countdown (without numbers) up to 23:00.

Does anyone know how long that sequence can be in full?

Its not really a countdown as such, they use it as a filler - often when BBC1 is overrunning. Smile

WRONG:
Thats just the 90 second countdown, when it reaches 60 seconds, theres a thunderclap and the numbers come on.


.... which itself can be heard here:

As Jarrod pointed out in the above post, that is the music used in the 90 seconds countdown.

The filler uses this remix, so it's pretty easy to tell whether or not the countdown or filler are being used. The filler was used before 23:00 on that night, NOT the 90 sec countdown, I presume BBC1 were overrunning a little?

Very simply a mistuned sky box without or with an expired card which is a source on the mixer for the interactive plug.

Looks like it's a different source on the vision mixer and the operator accidentally mixed to it.

A rather bizarre strap, shown for a couple of minutes earlier. Confused

It's a shame that you can still see remnants of the former BBC News graphics somewhere. This is taken from BBC iPlayer. I wonder why this old graphic is still there, when all the rest of them are the new LN graphics?

Why a shame? I miss them.

This is something I've wanted to raise for quite a while.

With the headline straps why are they useless two/three word phrases that aren't actually the headline? Take this morning's headlines - 'Honeymoon Shooting' and 'Home Information Packs' when in fact the story was British police going to Antigua and that estate agents haven't been using the HIPs. This is just one example of irrelevant headline straps. Now I know there are constraints on size but couldn't they have a two line strap that actually tells the story as opposed to a few words with some loose connection to the story?
