The 2 minute music was only used during the Gulf War when there were no advert breaks on BBC World. It was a way of giving the gallery time to prepare for the top of the hour when it effect they were on hour after hour with rolling news. It was a mix that was produced by one of the in house News Directors.

I think it would be a pretty good way to end the World Today - the camera pulls out and (perhaps 2 minutes is two long) and say a 1 minute compilation of the stories making the news to a remixed theme.

The 'early' team like playing the special closing music, I believe, so if there's enough time, they occasionally play the full special close (1min), while the presenter is recapping the top stories. This is the original special close from David Lowe, and as Nicky said, the extended version (2mins) was an in-house job.

I wonder when this happens if the presenter can hear the music playing, because once when i saw it (must have been back in April), David Jessel got the words exactly in time with the thunderclaps - not one overlap - I must admit, for David Jessel, it did sound pretty wonderful:
"..forcing savers to convert their dollar acounts into local currency is unconstitutional DE DUM DUM DUM I'll be back after the weater with a World news Summary DUM followed by World Business Report DUM DUM that's with Tanya Beckett CRASH Join Us after the weather"
that was followed by about 30 seconds of the top down of the studio while David must have been told to wait because he was just generally tapping his pen and unbuttoning his jacket.
Good though!

Yep, the music can be heard all over the newsroom, as it booms out of the gallery. The presenters tend not to get off the set until the director says "off air", which is when they hand to Pres and the weather titles play.

Which could have been a lot better if I may say so. The timing was all over the place.

does anyone know where we can hear this 2 minute long ending. I've never heard it. Don't have digital television

Does anyone know why BBC World only plays the "In Brief" Headline Bed during The World Today and the two other news bulletins following it? The In Brief headlines during the rest of the day seem bare without it.
Also, it appears that Mishal Husain is back in Washington as of today.
