The signature tune of that programme, starts with the Pompey Chimes, which as any resident of South Hampshire will tell you is used in Portsmouth by everybody from the city's football supporters, the Royal Navy, and even (to remain reasonably on topic) the city's 1970/80s ILR station, Radio Victory

Quite how the NOS ended up using it is beyond me, but the whole title sequence seems to be the product of smoking far too many 'substances'.


Or the first bars of the top of the hour chime of Big Ben - but then I would steer you away from the Pompey connection, being a lifelong Southampton Fc fan Very Happy

That said, the loose jazz arrangement did work better for a news programme opener of the time than I thought it would.

Interesting studio shot as well. The camera with the primitive auto cue on it didn't have a viewfinder on it - surely the cameraman would have suffered from all sorts of reflection glare in lining up the shots?

Phoenix has a really nice package. I like everything from NHK - the Japanese have a thing for white news sets too which I find really classy.
