It’s been just over 15 years since the Six and Ten stopped doing them. And I think about 20 years since the One and early evening weekend bulletins stopped doing them?You're right - the Six stopped with the headline recap and close once The One Show (and 20:00 BBC News Summary) launched in July 2007, Ten stopped with the recap and close when they moved into TC7 in February 2008 (as Newsnight needed the studio). I believe the One stopped when they ditched the cream and red set in January 2003, though am not entirely sure on that one.
Am I correct?
I think it might have been slightly later than that when the One ditched the closing music. I think it happened in early summer 2003. I've got one old recording from May 2003 featuring a proper closing on the One. But, I have another from July 2003 ending with an opt out to the regions instead.
