BBC Business Breakfast Opening (1994)

Intro sequence and theme to the BBC Business Breakfast News with Sara Coburn and Richard Quest. It uses the legendary glass shield design, however it does not feature the BBC coat of arms that was used on all other BBC News programs at the time. You'll also notice there is no virtual extension to the studio. The set for Business Breakfast was right next to the regular news set in the same studio.
Recorded on BBC World Service Television in 1994. In the UK the program was shown on BBC 1.

This is one of my favourite theme tunes

Richard Was a BBC Presenter? I only seen him in CNN

Business Breakfast had to be one of the most boring breakfast television programmes in Britain. An hour of financial news to kick start your day, just what you want when you wake up bleary eyed at 6.00am. No wonder GMTV and The Big Breakfast did well in 1994.

Great theme tune, though!

So different to the current BBC Business Briefing part of The Briefing in 2020, different composers have their own ideas on branding, this particular theme tune was most impressive along with the title.

N2 was limited by space in where the two jets could be placed, having been in what was N2, could see how it was fudged. The Buisness Breakfast set was placed at that angle due to the low ceiling and auto camera angle seen, due also the main set opposite.
The main news set also posed problems in the set up, in that the desk and free standing storage units behind the presenters were angled in a way which meant that the three to four auto camera would be seen on air, hence virtual reality, where only the three 1metre panels were live with presenters, the rest was a pre-recorded template built into a Silicon Graphics computer.
If this was a lager studio, then better shots could haven produced, then no virtual reality would it have been required for the main news studio. As for this set seen, the desk was in three sections, as the plinth, the background used a slide projector for that image, and both sets used poor lighting.
