I have been waiting for this recording for 13 years!!!! I took a trip from Madrid, by car to Cornwall to watch the total eclipse of the sun, and I recorded partially this broadcast with a tape recorder within the speaker of our car.... I have listened my recording thousand of times...

The scream of the crowd, the fantastic trance soundtrack, the scientific narration and one of natures greatest spectacles. You get chills even now.

i was born 1990. I saw this with 9y in 1999 in germany. The next total solar eclipse is in 2081 in germany. I'm 91 years old in 2081. I still have a chance!

I remember this so well! We weren't far away from Penzance, unfortunately didn't see the corona but we saw the shadow that they mention, and the flashes! Incredible experience. I think we will have this on the VHS we made at the time.

Got chills from this. It's an incredible experience to see it in person.

God bless those pet shop boys! can't have a proper eclipse without pet shop boys!

thanks for this! i was in wales on a campsite about 11 years old listening to this with the car windows down, and i remember all the sheep and cows on the hills thinking it was night and going to sleep! can't believe it was 13 years ago now, radio 1 was so much better back then too.

Was a special time for sure. Solar Eclipse, millennium approaching. Being a late teen / early 20's then felt very special. Was like a turning point in life. We knew it was special. Mobile phones were around but not everyone had one yet. No social media so you just lived the moment. Don't get me wrong, social media then would have meant this event was further documented but 1999/2000 was an amazing time to be a young adult.

We have a partial solar eclipse coming up in 2026 for the UK! Only 90-97% in England but 100% in Iberia. I'm 14 and I am definitely going Zaragoza, Spain to watch it. Once in a lifetime opportunity for most. My UK town, Hinckley, is only getting 91-92%.

What it was a very very very very very crazy total solar eclipse! In NO other total solar eclipse, there was a noise like this!

I was working at an Army Barracks and we were allowed to go out side and watch it! What an amazing Birthday gift! Everything went dark and The light started to come back. The light shown on a £1 coin. I was so skint! And I really fancied chocolate! That £1 coin bought me the best two choco bars of my life! I probs should have kept that pound lol

That 90s music though..:p

The 90’s really did have it all. The 90’s was the peak of humanity for me. People looked more chilled out and relaxed. Now everyone looks rushed and stressed out.

Huge earthquake hit İstanbul/Turkey after 6 days of eclipse

For those complaining on Reddit about the audio, the point of this video is the audio as it was a recording from BBC Radio 1 at the time of the eclipse in 1999. If they stayed quiet for the event, it'd make pretty poor radio! If you want to view the original footage I used, with the original TV audio, you can find that here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmpmuMGHeZDIfJM.html
