Love the Newsdesk theme, not sure about the graphics though, they've definitely aged quite a bit.Yes, clock change-to-clock change (as BBC World often worked in those days). You're right to say there was quite a bit 'odd' about that era - not just was the iridescent look applied to some branding elements but not others, but some of the 'branded' news programmes were renamed Newsdesk, but not all - the Amroliwala clip is from the two-hour 'evening' edition that had previously been called The World Report (though, unlike the other 'branded' slots, this did not become an edition of The World Today in the October). I do wonder how much of the half-applied nature of the rebrand was due to the impending full one in October?
