I think I have the one thunderclap one but not so sure if it's the one.

Does anyone have Newyddion from any era? Thanks!

It was used for the opening to the BBC News Special on One too.


I love the music used. It is my favourite. Really wonderful and nice touch.

This was the bed that closed national bulletins. The vamp with the one thunderclap is very similar but has no pips.

But cheers for this vamp Daniel! Don't suppose you have the actual closing or the 'in brief' bed which is still used now?

Is this the one thunderclap with no pips that you're referring to? (credits to tvwatcher for the upload)

I really love the closing theme used on the BBC News Special intro on One yesterday. It's really nice. I hope someone will upload it soon. Smile

The naming convention used really gets me confused. That "03" looks like a track number, like it was ripped off a CD.

Knowing that I'm trying to sort out my collection into what BBC News Channel, World News and National News uses, I believe someone should make a table. Idea

I only have the NC and National package, I'd happily make a table if I had all three.

The actual closing is what Daniel's requesting. Smile

Noted on the news special clip, there is an added extra drum at the end I think.

I don't have any full packages, I just reference clips found on YouTube about what tracks are used and for what segments!

I noticed that when I got SomeVeryRandomStuff's package of his BBC News theme, he segmented that tracks to World, News Channel and National News. Some of the vamps were exactly the same over the different groups.

And the headline bed which I dislike is still on BBC WN. They should make it like what vamp the National/NC uses now.

James (Jimmyson07), I think some vamps are the same because the 2008 package (National, NC & WN) all have the same variation of the theme, only with minor differences on stings and vamps. (I only think of that although I don't have that package!)

The real close can be heard here. It sounds more like a special countdown, then the tag is hit at the end. I can say that the track

The ending drum is a bit different to this:
