BBC Breakfast Time | 9 May 1986
From the www.transdiffusion.org/ archives...
The BBC starts the day with its lovely opening sequence of shots of people and things starting their day, which segues into the Breakfast Time title sequence. Then Frank Bough appears - at 6:50am, oddly - to tell us the main headlines - the Liberal/SDP Alliance won the Ryedale by-election, the Tories held Derbyshire West with a majority of just 100, and Labour swept the local elections.

Check out who got new computers with all those logo animations! Spinning and rotating at the same time?! Smooth gradients! 1986 baby!
No one at home knew it at the time, but Frank Bough was usually wearing stocking and suspenders below the camera shot.
Themes were great back then!
Exactly a month before I was born!
RIP Frank Bough
Ahhh....when things and people were so much nicer and happier.
This particular Title sequence 'music' was used between January 1983 and September 1989. I was 30 at the time, and the music was composed by George Fenton. This was first known Breakfast telly on the BBC, and originally aired between 06:30 and 09:20 weekdays, and was later in stiff competition with TV-AM (February 1983 and December 1992), who's breakfast telly aired 7 days a week, and preferred the more relaxed TV-AM instead.

The music was great, and I'd love to hear a stereo mix one day. These 'revamped' graphics are awful compared to the originals, however.

I would have been just a month away from my sixteenth birthday and taking my O Levels then!
Shame the BBC wouldn't dump todays crap from Salford and go back to this format.
It was weird the announcer spoke Welsh I understand because this is BBC Wales but there is no point to speak Welsh if there are no Welsh programming

I think it was just an incidental "bore da" from the announcer whose first language is probably Welsh. I can remember announcers closing down BBC1 Wales with "nos da" in the 90s

Yeah it's a nod to the Welsh language from Welsh citizens who can't speak Welsh, which (to any useful extent) is most of them.
