Definitely a case of 'Chris, you're the last one out - can you turn the lights off please!'... Reminds me of the empty newsroom behind the Ten O'clock news presenters in the early 90s.
Ten O'Clock? Early 90s? You sure your memory is OK?


It probably isn't - I'm showing my age.

Anyway, something I've knocked up - a tribute to the countdowns from TV Centre (not a brilliant piece of work as it was knocked up in 10mins). I think I included all the countdown 'styles' except the World cup ones - although was done from memory.



What countdown track did you use in that video?


One that I found on a Youtube video - I think it was an unused one.



Sounds like the BBC Persian countdown track with a few of the drums taken out.

That is pretty impressive Worzel, top work there I really like it.

BBC World News DOG on the News Channel right now. Seems to have appeared since we went to the Vatican.

Simulcast with nbh hence the usual mishmash of old and new graphics.

I've been asked to remove the image that I posted here. If anyone's saved it, can please request that they don't repost it.
It wasn't my intention to get anyone into any trouble, and my apologies if I have.

Yesterday I said the backdrop reminds us of N24's circa 2002-2003 backdrop. In a way it also looks like WN's backdrop circa 1999-2004.

I agree. It really looked like BBC World 2000-2004 backdrop!

Looks quite tight for space between the two presenters. In N6 you had the printer to separate them, but this looks a little too cosy!

I love the vivid colours in the background - the mixture of reds, greys and everything else is perfect. The picture looks very sharp as well - the picture quality will definitely be noticeable then on the News Channel.

Is it because thegeek took the pic off his mobile phone? Looks nice though much better then n6
