Having started a bit of reminiscence of BBC Parliament of old in the current BBC News thread, it reminded me of their role during Vote 2001 - which was largely to carry live pressers and campaign events.
Someone - possibly just a staffer at Millbank Studios - came up with a 10 minute filler track for the gaps between transmissions. I remember recording off air to MiniDisc (complete with a slightly dodgy join in the middle, after having not managed to get the whole thing in one go), and I think later uploading it to the erstwhile TV Forum.
I also made sure it also went out to the master control rooms of Europe over a holding caption before the world feed of the 2010 general election.
I've not been able to find my original file, but it seems that DIMBLEBOT has kept a copy for posterity. Enjoy.

I also have no idea which year this cacophony of a News 24 Election theme would be from - I'd guess also 2001.
