BBC Newsnight Theme Opening Titles and Headline underscore music 

Probably the most memorable and succinctly appropriate theme for a news program.

I love this, but you can see where The Day Today got the idea for the over-the-top graphics.

Not sure why but the sound of this and the original match of the day theme always completed the day. Sort of late night tones rounding the day off

Its so hard to find the full theme online. Thanks

I like it.

Maybe it's just me but I think it sounds like something from a military submarine movie or something like that.

This was the 1998 version, of which I preferred over the current 2019 take, 1993 was a nice version, if only they could bring in David Lowe to re score this tune, as now rather old and dated.

Fucking brilliant

All are better than the current theme reworking (2022-3) with that silly guitar twang at the beginning. It takes away from the seriousness and authority of the previous incarnations.

I would want to see the original opening titles from 1980.

SOME OPENS ARE MISSING

Not sure why you got negative votes for that comment, I've always had a thing for her too
