Newsnight Theme

I have searched and found no other thread with this on, so here goes....

I thought tonight's classical ending to Newsnight was very nice
Newsnight - Classical Theme
(apologies about video quality I was more after the sound )

How many different ones are there, and does anyone have any of the others as MP3 or WMV files?

It was good - caught it too.

Although I'd call it 'light jazz' rather than classical.

Having listened again, I agree, more "light jazz"

So there's the normal one and that one, then I've got an upbeat jazz version. Any more?

I think it's quite a unique idea to play a different theme depending on how the show ends.

I don't like it. I'd rather they just played the proper closing theme.

The answer to the question is 42.

Sorry, bit too much sauce.

Those two are truly terrible.
The Newsnight theme is one of the best news themes around, but to prat around with it in this way (even though it is for the credit scroll) devaules the entire show.

Why bother with the trouble of sticking a sofa and desk in TC7, and just do the entire bleedin show on location from Ronnie Scott's Jazz club.

A similar version to the NN Jazz "mix" was played out on NN Review on Friday.

It all started with those Latin America programes...

How many different versions have been played so far, I usually fall asleep by about 11pm!

Very film noir that first one - was expecting Paxo to get up and walk down a deserted alley dimly lit by pools of street light, light up a cigarette in a damp rain jacket and give us a soliloque about his latest run in with the femme fatale.

Very nice idea to have variation on a theme - bit like fridays at 6 on News 24!!

Last night's tango theme was great! Did anyone capture it?

They really should release a CD of all these themes. If they develop a following, it's the kind of quirky thing I could see them doing. Perhaps.
