If you try to watch regional news on BBC one HD you get a red screen with a message saying it isnt available along with a count down to the resumption. During this videos and noise play in the background things like seagulls or ship horns sound and there are 2 snippets of music lasting maybe 20 seconds each.

One of these songs, which is samba music (or atleast involves steel drums) is both a total banger and sounds really familiar. Does anyone know what the music is? Or if it is original music for just this purpose.

This has been nagging at me for years.
