Ryan posted this topic this morning, but it seems to have disappeared. Ryan what special was on last night? Did they use special titles or something?

I didn't think there was a special at 7 last night! I turned it on at the top of the hour and it was Carrie and Gavin, just as normal!

I wondered where that damn topic had gone when I came back to check it at 1:30pm today! Smile

I'll explain it again. Lastnight at 7pm (Oct 17th) on BBC News 24 a BBC News special was shown instead, with the BBC World opening titles at the top of the hour. I was wondering if anyone with capturing facilities recorded this between about 6:55 and 7:05pm? If they did, could they please produce it into a RealPlayer file and send it to me, as I would really like to see this again. Thanks.

I honestly don't think there was, well not right at the top of the hour, cause I can remember Carrie and Gavin! There was one at the top of the hour last night at 9 with some bloke! Are you mistaken, cause I'm very puzzled!

There've been BBC News Specials at 1200, 1700 and 2100 for days now.
In fact some of you may have spotted the BBC World end titles at the end of today's 1700 one.
Richard Lister has been presenting the 2100 one, with Ms Thomas his wife doing 1200 & 1700.

Big mistake there, they played the News 24 ident instead of the overnight one!

And yes, I did see/hear the BBC World ending titles last night! They sounded fantastic!

The proper end ones or the sombre sting?

They played the NEWS 24 titles on WORLD!!!

I hope this is a common mistake. I really really like the News 24 titles better than the World titles...
