I was 5 years old when this was shown and I remember it like it was yesterday - scary! If I was ever at my grans when I was off school ill or on school holidays, they'd always have the BBC News on at 1pm and always remember this title sequence.
@notgillcup I agree with you. As a matter a fact, in the early 80s, all the BBC bulletins had the same intro until the start of sixty minutes. The bulletins then had their own intros from 1985 and 1986
