Eugh. 

Another drab BBC News title sequence, using the same goddamn music, with perhaps the laziest, most soporific animation so far. And, obviously, a circle. But it's not red! *gasp* 

So much effort used to go into creating titles and stings for xx.30 back-half-hour programmes on BBC News (Channel/24) and World News -- such as The Travel Show, Click, and World Business Report. How times have changed. How standards have fallen. 

And of course, for the premiere of this new programme -- "episode one", as we were informed in the introduction -- BBC News made sure to leave the red logo bar and ticker on screen, to make sure they obscured the 'NEWS' text on the titles. Great job everyone. 👍🏼

The Washington studio does look nice though.

When you look at some of the titles of other BBC News shows from the merge, this looks amazing. As a standalone title sequence though, it looks only decent.

Sick to death of the BBC finding their way to use the generic BBC News theme outside of normal bulletins.
