I'm not sure which you're trying to describe, but let me break down how I'd describe them.
Launch - loops of the 2000 ident music
2000-2003 - brass and bongos
2003-2007 - electronic, electric guitar, brass, and gavel-like percussion
2007-2014 - strings of various types, percussion
Didn't the original 2003 bid-up music have sound effects like 'dings' and 'dongs' in it?

Peter Simon would have been a better choice for the generation game, Miranda Hart is just not funny.

Pretty sure all the music used by Sit-Up channels was library and they just buy a commercial licence to use it, which I suppose technically means it isn't Sit-Up property. I dare say it's paid for in full at the time of purchase to use it commercially.
As an example, the below SCS advert uses the same music that Bid and Price used for the clock countdown:

As it stands, sit-up ltd. still own the rights to those tracks - with the administrators looking to recoup money; they might not take kindly to people flaunting the companies property.

At the start they used to have their own pieces of music made for them, then they switched to Audio Network sometime in 2009 where that and the telephone dialling music (Dial to Win) can be found:

The track above is called Casino Challenge:

The first version of it did, it sounded like a microwave ding at several places. They junked it after about 6 months, and moved onto the 1.6 version which I had hosted; which was the same track free of the dings and dongs. There are versions from 1.0 upto 1.9; when liquidation is finished, I'll post the lot of them.
None of the tracks have official names; they arrived to me as just: 2000 bed, 2000 underscore, 2004 bed concentrate 1.1, 1.2 ~ 1.9 etc.
I believe the 2004 (~2003) track was actually segments which were delivered to sit-up enabling them to create their own versions. However, the 8 minute track is the only one I ever got from 'em (several versions of it)
This is incorrect. They commissioned about 7 pieces during their 14 years - granted a lot of it was library (mainly from royalty-free.tv and audionetwork); but some of it was commissioned specifically for the channels.
- 2000 bed and underscore
- 2003~2004 bed (for both price-drop - 3 tracks, and bid-up.tv - the 8 minute track)
- 2005 bed for speed-auction.tv's launch
- 2007 beds (for all 3 channels - I wasn't a fan of these - speed auction got 2, the other channels got one each - these are the tracks looping on the tech error screens today).
There was also a short lived track used when bid.tv first went falling price, which sounded like a repetetive 15 second loop (but was actually about 3 minutes long)
This monstrosity of a track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bkSMhtHPCg#t=115
Whoever commissioned this and OK'd it needs a hearing test.
Anything aside from these were library.

Thanks for posting those tracks earlier in the week I've loved that music since the first time I heard it all those year ago. Do you have any of the sound effects they used such as the price plunge, Megadrop, £1 auction, avalanche, warehouse clearance, train bell ding ding ding, the newer siren, the swooshes used when the graphics used to load up on price drop or the chomping noise when the triangle used to get eaten up on bid?

Some footage from the breakdown of April 2011 (this was the one where they ended up scribbling on pieces of paper as Bid didn't have any sound)
If you listen carefully at around 1:13 on the breakdown caption on this video, it's the exact same poorly done music loop that's been going out for the last four days, so that bad edit has been in the system for at least the last three years.

Some channels are taking the end of Bid as an opportunity to upload videos that have not been seen since original broadcast.

I believe the second channel is Andy Hodgson's own and the video descriptions are well worth reading too.
According to the EPG, Price Drop where meant to be showing Best of Bid from 18:00 tonight.
