Here’s the one with the BBC World 2005 countdown theme:

The only other ones I saw were the 1999 and 2008 News 24/channel themes, which should be on the last couple of pages of this thread.

The 2005 BBC World theme was always an outlier between all the countdowns that i liked with a very "dance" theme.

Nevertheless, i think that the 2013 theme remains the best and one of the few instances where the orchestra was appropiate and well used. I can`t say the same about the footage: the 2005-2010 countdowns were faster paced and better in my opinion with a good combintation of clips of the journalist stars, the crew, and places from the world. Now we have some journalists appearing on the countdowns for five seconds or more, which makes it really slow.


Strangely, the world feed today carried the regular theme on the countdowns. I am surprised that the World and UK feeds still carry two different countdowns running at the same time.
