May be only a little difference but there obviously are some variations to the ending last ten seconds or so of the BBC TV English Regional News Opening Titles Theme Music because some are using the version composed by David Lowe which was also the version uploaded on the BBC TV News Website ( Using BBC London Titles ) and some are are using a somehow different version


If I understand you correctly, then that is not the case, every region is now using the same opening theme, Look North NE and BBC London are no longer using the piece uploaded to the BBC News website, and AFAIK no other region was using it anyway.

Yes, we know they're different, but it's hardly noticable.

You mean the bed that plays at the end of the titles from what I can gather. Its hardly important that some use that one and others use the national one is it now.

Theres several versions of the music, ofcourse the ones that London theres were using, one with a drone after and 'pips' which most regions use, and one with a bed after the titles. This is the one you mean AKAIK.

This was changed just a week before the relaunch - hence why some of the older versions had slipped onto the internet, when infact, they were never to be used.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that at the start of one 6.30pm NWT last week, the bar at the very start of the show read 'North West Today' before being corrected to 'Tonight' in the time taken to hand over to a reporter who was promoting a 'coming up later in the show' feature.

Look East Breakfast bulletins have gained the BBC LOOK EAST dog followed by the clock - in the same style as the news channel.

What do Forumers think of a BBC TV Regional News Programme Why having a fake view as a backdrop of the BBC TV National London Newsroom ?

I just can't see the sense in it ?

I know that the BBC rebrand was all about a coherent look but showing a London Newsroom in Hull just takes the whole excercise too far !

The idea of showing a fake newsroom in Hull does seem silly, especially if the region is not big enough that it would have a newsroom the size of the one being used. Look East (Norwich) backdrop works well as it is an obscured view of the forum (on a loop IIRC) they have used this from before this revamp and it works well.
