I like how the start of that clip jumps from Sissons to Buerk (obviously working for rival broadcasters at the time).

Here’s something that’s appeared on YouTube today, the BBC World emergency breakdown filler from 1995 or so, with parts of this era’s theme I’ve never heard before, and it’s quite pleasant.

Great find, nwtv2003! Music by David Dundas if memory serves me correctly. It is rather lovely isn't it?

You can definitely hear bits of the tune of Lillibullero sneaking through there.

Late night summaries, plus some extras from the day (and next) in 1996. Rare appearance of Peter Sissions in the virtual Breakfast Newsset, as speculated in the YT comments, they'd already set the studio for Breakfast news when it became clear they were going on air. Doesn't quite look like the BN set though, more of a mash up between it and the Nine set
