New Year 2002 - British TV coverage

The New Year of 2002 was one of mixed emotions around the world, with the 9/11 terrorist attacks still in very recent memory in the United States, the 'Black Christmas' bushfires in Australia and major changes across Europe as several countries adopted the Euro as their new currency. Here's Carlton closing 2001 and into most of the ITV News coverage, with some brief looks at other channels including the first BBC One announcement of the new year. Both BBC1 and ITV1 would change significantly by the end of 2002 as two new looks would appear on the channels that year. London did not have any firework display that year, this only became a regular occurence later in the decade.
