Thanks for sharing that, Rob. I was adamant (to mostly myself) that World played out a special programme and theme on the night (early morning) before Martyn Lewis took over.

Maxine was originally presenting from the World overnight set, before Nik Gowing came in, and started from the same set (newsroom backdrop).

I was sure at some point they moved to the (modified) flag backdrop, and lo and behold, you’ve found it!

By the way, I don’t recall that particular version of the World music ever being used again, apart from the ongoing Diana coverage of the times.

Other versions of the “sombre” music were slightly different, IIRC.
