Gives a real sense of seriousness and immediacy, like THIS IS SERIOUS and it's happening OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR RIGHT NOW.

This reminds me of my childhood .. It signalled my bedtime...

Yes im in agreement with most comments. This truly demonstrates the lasting power of music. I am now 53 and remember hearing this when a little child..still sends shivers down my spine! Also check out the original 'World in action theme....it has the same effect on me

The World in Action theme complete with the end credits theme is truly chilling.

Have to agree with some comments here- this theme really does say 'this is important, it's happening now and it cannot be ignored'.

I guess I will listen to it just once more.

I love the sense of immediacy. It's saying, this is not just stuff on television for you to watch. This is what is actually happening right now outside your door.

The 1st time I ever heard this was when Diana was on.

Takes me right back

This theme tune is called Aujourd'hui C'est Toi and was composed by Francis Lai in 1969.

This is right up there with the 'World In Action' theme music... when you heard either of those playing on the TV you knew that some serious journalism was about to go down and that serious & difficult questions were going to get asked as a result.

This was adapted from a theme by Francis Lai for the film A Man and Woman.

Just been watching the French classic film 'Un Homme et une Femme' and heard this music play as the background music to the motor racing scenes - a strange experience!

indeed "taken" from F. Lai : kzread.info/dash/bejne/n36rw8ORft2qdbg.html

Can't help but giggle when I hear this theme. Always reminds me of Brass Eye (itself a parody of currents affairs programmes).

You know something is serious when you hear this.

Every time I used to hear this track. As a kid , i knew shit was going down

This theme is a classic. One of the only things that would make everyone stop what they were doing in their households and tune in.

This music says: Something serious in the world is happening and you need to know, so PAY ATTENTION!

Very tense music,indicating something going to know in few minutes. But I enjoyed the music.....revolution. it opens my mind in my schooling....

Search on youtube the video 'Un Homme Et Une Femme | Soundtrack Suite (Francis Lai)' and you will note that the Panorama track is sampled from this 1966 French film soundtrack (from 03:19 onwards)!

Brings a smile to my face on 27 May 2016 :)

Walking backwards into the future, its the way now. They paint a masterpiece and someone always wants to add one more brush stroke.

I freaking love this little ditty

GREAT THEME IS GREAT!

gee it's a groovy tune played on a loop and danced to.fantastic duende. It's still a scary muther-fucking piece of music to play so murderously in people's living rooms at tea-time. It scared the crap out of us as kids

Miss bass drums in a lot of today's music, the instruments blend so well

Much better than the current version, don’t you think...?.

All I know is that this theme tune used to scare the crap out of me as a child. I used to think the end of the world is nigh! lol

Fantastic!

Awesome

Very good theme, serious but interesting too.

@ingravegreen In-house adaptation, commissioned and possibly made by the BBC themselves.

Rumour has it Frank Bruno used to train to this track.

My favourite programme ❤😅

I did the drumming of the Panorama theme at school

meanwhile in Panorama... The troubles..the IRA latest bombings of warrington....Also the Falklands war....

it is actually based on " Aujourd'hui C'est Toi " by Francis Lai, I wonder if the BBC have to pay royalties?

@ckyliu Thanks for that info - been looking for it for ages :)

Keith, the Rachmaninov you refer to is the start of the 4th movement of his Symphony No 1

This is hardcore.

Our Man in Luxembourg (potentially)... ENT

This used to scare me as a kid lol.

This is by Francis Lai, the same man who wrote the soundtrack to “Love Story”

Watch this space!

Funny I should say that I've first heard on this on a Not the Nine O'Clock News segment wherein Rowan Atkinson and Mel Smith made a parody of Panorama. HEHE!!

Ominous feel. I am in search of a late 60's early 70's intro-can anyone help me find it please! I vaguely recall it from my childhood, I think it was this music and footage that I've pieced together Mi2CU3Avw2w

Yup we're all gonna die.

Love this theme. Do you know the date it was first used?

This wouldn't be out of place in Final Fantasy somewhere

A theme for the days when politicians were held to account

Check out 'Current Affairs' for Test Department's take on this....

When some deep shit is going down 😂

that's up there with Holst. real screw face material

Another victim of the fashion of dumbing down. A once excellent programme turned into a tabloid

Great theme tune but I prefer the previous Panorama theme.

LOL!

The Baüsch dossier... DCN

The tune is Aujourd hui"C'est Toi ' composed by Francis Lai. The BBC programme Panorama brought in this rather depressingly haunting theme to replace the much nicer piece of music, Sergei Rachmaninov's First Symphony Fourth Movement previously used in the programme. But THIS, miserable tune is forever associated with the Panorama programme and Rachmaninov's best piece used on Panorama, I think is largely forgotten.

This is NOT the original Panorama theme which was fabulous. It was from one of Rachmaninov's symphonies and is far better than this one.

My favourite version EVER. This was the exact theme music used as the intro for the BBC Panorama Interview with Princess Diana.
