Well obviously there MUST be some rules: the PM actually resigned. Our previous POTUS broke several laws and fucked up our foreign relations and trade policy for decades to come, and yet he still insists that he’s President.

Wow. There was a time not that long ago when I thought the UK looked quite reasonable compared to the US, in terms of politics. Not anymore.

That’s the introduction music playing-
It’s part of the standard intro format for ITV news at ten, the channel’s flagship news programme.
You start with the clock chime-, and a cold open onto the newscaster summarising the headlines.
The music is kept at a low level throughout the newscaster’s intro.They have about 1 minute to summarise the main stories of the day before the music rises and they go into the main title sequence.
This one was especially strange, as we had a single story of the day that was very difficult to fit into that brief opening.
EDIT- Here’s a full intro sequence from a more normal evening of news:
