Those are the iconic pips, not a countdown. You can trace those all the way back through to 1924 on BBC Radio. 6 pips that signal the hour. I listened to an interview with the composer of the current BBC News theme, and his breakdown of his creation was really interesting.
It truly is exhilarating. So much so, I've sometimes found myself getting emotional about all the achievements of the BBC when it's aired, especially when they play the sequence where they show journalists in war zones.
Iconic. Still so fresh after all the years. When is was travelling around the world for work, this gave me goosebumps thinking about my family back home. Paramount pictures’ intro also makes me feel the same.
The best of British brilliance. I had sense a special warm inner feeling when ever I'd herd this intro theme whilst traveling in numerous countries in the 1990's and beyond.
Fascinating to see the musicians behind this theme tune. I didn't realise how many orchestral instruments were used; I assumed it was mainly synthesized. It's evolved over 22 years and potentially could be around for a long time still, now it is so well recognised as the sound of BBC News. I cannot help thinking it would be suitable to introduce a declaration of martial law!
I don’t miss this each day. Immediately it’s 60-90secs to a bbc news, I’d reach for the tv just to listen to this countdown. Now I have the whole 60sec download to my phone for my listening pleasure. With love from Nigeria.
I've always really liked the introduction music to the BBC News, so decided to find out how it was produced. I was totally taken aback by the beautiful orchestra they all were amazing each and every one of them not to mention the composer. I really hope this introduction will carry on for many years. Sometimes you just take things for granted don't you!!
What a magnificent composition! Grew up watching BBC news daily, dad told me it was the best way to learn English, as he did the same. And he was correct.
As a Canadian who checked his watch to the Greenwich Mean Time broadcast on CBC (from the BBC) i am astonished at what the composer has achieved. It is brilliant in every way possible to imagine.
The BBC News Intro Music is Really catchy & Iconic My Dad turns on the TV specifically at that time of the Day where they play the Music. Its truly joyful and Poppy. Whoever thought of that, those Artists are amazing & genius. _Love from India 🙌 Love England_ _Love our World 🙌_
Well, if I can't travel with COVID, I can listen to this and imagine I'm back in a hotel room somewhere in Europe watching the BBC news! Fantastic track.

The composer deserves a Grammy. It’s so exhilarating. The countdown beeps give a sense of urgency.

These guys need to hold a concert somewhere, this is shear brilliance
ThanQ for showing the people behind this beautiful piece. I'd attend if they had a concert.
I would too!
With 1 song, only. But yeah, i’d sit there and watch them perform it

My late husband . Worked in the electronic media too. Loved this music. Brings memories of my Desmond.
I hope you are doing fine.

Aggressive and sensational BBC news theme , inviting everyone's attention towards news. Hats off to the composer.
the drummer is mesmerizing.....is why I keep watching this short film.....over and over
I will never listen to this piece of music the same way again!!
The best of British brilliance. I had sense a special warm inner feeling when ever I'd herd this intro theme whilst traveling in numerous countries in the 1990's and beyond.

i think it was synthesized but this is a true orchestral
ugh my comment got yeeted but i think it was synthesized but this is an actual orchestral version of the theme
Such a huge fan of this theme. I think the obsession I have for this theme is borderline unhealthy…
Much love from India
So true. But you gotta admit Aaj Tak has the most Indian theme ever made
@@dinkarfowkar999DD!
You should also look up this tune they made for the BBC called Perfect Day. Makes me cry every time.
Me, too❤!!!!
I listen to this when fatigued and get energized!
Stayed up late one night and heard this piece of music. Absolute genius, excellent composition. Love it
The one news intro that effectively cancels out every other news intros......
Such a masterpiece of strings and beats, same as the legendary British Broadcasting Company. Thanks for sharing BBC!
BBC is that best☺️
It's the British Broadcasting Corporation. Not company.
@@lsudx479 it used to be Company before 1922, interestingly
@@MarkPentler Ah! I did not know that. I wonder why they changed it.
@@lsudx479 The company was liquidated and became the corporation.
This is the best theme ever. I used to watch BBC as a kid and feel it is at least 100 times better than our Indian news channels.
It is just the best news theme ever produced. Authoritive and dramatic.♥️
I don’t miss this each day. Immediately it’s 60-90secs to a bbc news, I’d reach for the tv just to listen to this countdown.
Now I have the whole 60sec download to my phone for my listening pleasure.
With love from Nigeria.
The music is so detailed & deep than the news itself 😂😂😂
This theme is my 2021 ringtone 😍😍 Nowadays I don't receive calls instantly as I have to dance to the tune for a while 🥰🥰
How did you get it as ringtone please? I need same. Any link?
Absolutely brilliant music I'd love to hear it live. Thank you.

Everyone is so focussed in making the greatest tune of our generation.
Masterpiece of beats by David lowe, A genius composition ❤
I just used to watch the BBC news every one hour for this countdown music

This emotional transitional taste of BBC. Phenomenal rhythm, magnificent British exell.
The best music I’ve heard ever 😍🥰
Addicted.......❤️
This theme music could not be any more satisfying! And it's a perfect 60 beeps per minute :)
Say whatever you want about the mainstream media these days, but this opening theme is literally the best of any news organization on earth.
What a magnificent composition! Grew up watching BBC news daily, dad told me it was the best way to learn English, as he did the same. And he was correct.
Honestly? This is an absolute banger
Came here after that insta video, banger 😄
Gives me goose bumps every time, it's a work of genius.❤️
As a Canadian who checked his watch to the Greenwich Mean Time broadcast on CBC (from the BBC) i am astonished at what the composer has achieved. It is brilliant in every way possible to imagine.
Genuinely though was done with a synth! To see it being done with an orchestra is awesome!
I'm Japanese.
This sound is so cool, it conveys so much urgency!
I want to make it my cell phone ringtone!☺️
No really urgency, but it like a ekg of life or a counting of time pasting...
@@mcsuccess08
Japan is a country with a lot of earthquakes, so this is a wonderful sound that makes you feel the weight of life.
This composition captures the Heartbeat of the Universe. Regards from Fiji. 2022
