The BBC play a 60 second countdown for the news, it’s played for various reasons, eg giving local news stations time to rap up what they are doing to then go to the national news station, etc...

But many news and weather forecasters are doing it from home these days so some have been a bit more adventurous.

This is what the BBC 60 second countdown sounds like.

A Welsh weather forecaster for BBC Wales called Owain Wyn Evans is also a well know drummer, and so played his part.

So many have done their own version with instruments of their choice.

But it’s not new for people to use the countdown for there own amusement.

Comedians have done sketchs and pieces to it.

Bill Bailey.

Bill Bailey having look at other news themes.

Even being used at a Vancouver Giants game.

Just seeing the title BBC News Countdown Theme 2014 (Extended Club Remix 2015) is already hilarious.

It’s funny the thing folks lock on to.  I also know there are people that are fans of the shipping report, as well...

This is fantastic.  I’d like to think there is composer somewhere who is deeply satisfied.

I sometimes fall asleep listening to the BBC news. It’s weirdly relaxing.

Well, with the magic of Youtube and TV, here is a BBC interview with the tik tok rave girl and the composer. Enjoy.

Ye’, it’s not as in your face, etc... like some U.S. news programmes I’ve seen. It’s reporting the news, getting the message across without making you jump behind the sofa rocking back and forward having a panic attack.

No worries. I love how these things just happen, the world going to shite, but someone says, ‘nah, could be worse, Enjoy this, lets have a laugh’.
