Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but came across this un-used opening title sequence from News 24 back in 2003 - does anyone know if they are genuine?

Apart from the logo change at the end I'd say thats real enough.

Apart from the yellow numbers - which they did use before changing to white - I can't notice any diffrence between that and the one they used

The only difference I can see is the spinning 'BBC NEWS BBC NEWS BBC NEWS' graphic comes in earlier. Other than that, it looks pretty much the same as the pre-rendered version of the titles used when TOG broke down.

Hi
I uploaded that onto Youtube - I got confirmation from a reliable source that this is genuine, although I was a bit unsure too at first Smile

Also if you look on David Lowe's site, on the last page on the members area, if you hover over the image for the 2004 news 24 countdown, you'll see it is a still from the same titles.

I don't know why there's any doubt, it's virtually the same as the one they used up until a few months ago!

The yellow numerals were changed to white after a few months, but still popped up here and there for a while

I had to post that... its one of the related videos to the above... its a little worrying... I'd guess its based on the Jane Hill video/mp3 in the studio rehearsing but even so...

Few things make me cry, and yet...

HAHA that video is really funny actually...just the kid's voice to be honest, the way he's so blunt and sarcastic in saying..''A man was stabbed in the heart...and he died'' along with his demonic facial expressions. It's actually quite good for such a young kid. I may be sad, but that was highly entertaining. Much better than the trash BBC3 churns out.
