New Blue Peter Theme For The New Series

Don't like it! At All! It is all too much like old tunes.
And they were getting so far!
Their new logo was lovely, the set was great, it was all becoming modern and unlike Blue Peter with a grand opening piece, and even using Ash's Burn Baby Burn as the title music to BP Unleashed, but this is just wrong.

It doesn't sound modern, it sounds very old.
And those that say that the current, well last theme didn't sound modern must be a bit backwards. How can orchestral music have a date? Pop, rock, r'n'b they all go out of fashion now and again, but you never get that with an orchestra, mainly because they are playing lovely sounding instruments all intertwinned into one sound.

I must admit though that the actual recording of the last theme tune sounded better than when they added sounds to give it a slightly oriental feel.

That is the good thing about Blue Peter that they always show you any changes that are made to the show.
Like in 1999 they shownt you Konnie meeting set designers, going and recording the music with the orchestra, filiming the titles and then bringing the set in, and then they even went and explained widescreen.

Its alright, But sounds more old than the last!

Will they be getting a new look studio?

I like the new theme, its quite good and longer then the 1999 version.
It does has a 1970's thing to it.

There's certainly no accounting for taste! I hate that version! (used circa the Tim Vincent type era (1990s) I think)

Played on dustbin lids etc, the familiar BP tune was barely recognisabe! In fact, It didn't sound like "music" at all, to me.

At least the September 2004 version is proper "music". I think it's quite nice. No better or worse than the previous version.

I was also never keen on the 1980s version (Mark Curry type era), where each main note of the tune sounded like "bloop" (typical synthesised 1980s type sound - which dates that version of the tune more accurately than carbon dating).

The new Blue Peter theme tune sounds like a Sci Fi theme!

It's quite nice, it could grow on me!

Anyhoo, does anybody have the old Blue Peter theme played by Stomp that I could download? If anybody could put it up I would be grateful - it was my favourite!

Oh, and the new theme is rubbish if I may say so.

I'd have dated it at least 60 years before that! Don't see it as being sci-fi at all - it sounds retro as opposed to modern... well to me anyway!

Thank you very much!

What is that annoying sound at the start?

Sounds nautical to me.

EDIT: A ship's whistle according to Katherine... and I don't think she means a spaceship!

Sounds better than the current one, but a bit old-fashioned. Which is ironic considering it is supposed to be modern !
