@@brandonmartin-moore5302 Yes I actually found 1999 a lot better year than 2000 as you say there was so much more opportunity pending that created a great feeling of optimism for the future 🔮

Then the moment arrives, a big 'bong' and the entire sky lights up with fireworks. A moment that may never be seen again. What will our descendants be doing in 1,980 years' time?
A lot of people who celebrated that night have long since passed away, it's mental that in another 20 years it will be 2040 and no telling what the world will be like by then.
Gosh I remember this night as if it were yesterday. I remember an era of happiness and optimism where the new millennium and future gleamed with possibility. It breaks my heart knowing how things would actually turn out. 9/11 wounded that happiness and optimism before the financial crash of 2008 systematically destroyed it. It really hurts me as I came of age during a time where the country (and world) genuinely felt amazing and was full of possibility. It was like we were all pulling in the same direction. The only thing that came close to that feeling was the summer of 2012 during the olympics as we all united behind our athletes and celebrated the spectacle of the games.
Yes I was only saying that the other day. All the excitement of the countdown to the new millennium 🎉 and now I meet people who were not even born 20 years ago when all this happened.
The BBC showed the Music Video of the Danny Tan-composed "Written In The Sand" by Regine Velasquez so Allen Jaymie Sembillo would probably upload it on his CZcams channel
So many of us thought the world was going to be a better place. I remember that night so well. In the words of master Yoda ' disappointed I was, let down I've been'
If 1999 was not polluted, then the 21st century could not inherit the cause s that we all suffer today. Take heart and see that today is more real than ever before, even with its suffering.
It hasn't been any better or worse than before, but the problem is people have far more information, which means we know exactly what's going on on the other side of the world.
So therefore were you 9 in the year 2000? I don't actually remember it as I was out at a series of millennium parties with my friends and didn't actually get home until 6 am in the morning.

@@ryandenoven3447 I was 18 years old in 1992 and was at college 🎓 doing some A Levels and a BTEC National Diploma in Science. I was also enjoying the pubs and clubs in Leeds and York as we got a lot of free time in the second year. 1992 is my second favourite year of the 90's 👍💫
It will have been an emotional, moving and a historic time for you. Something you will never forget. Don't let silly comments by other people annoy you.
@@stevenfraser9419 Thank you for you kind comment. I don't remember very much of it as it was 20 years ago. I remember all the rehearsals with the choir boy and girl of the year. I also felt starstruck when we saw The Corrs.
It only feels like yesterday I was planning with friends what party 🎉 activities we would be doing on the eve of the new millennium, well to be fair the whole of 1999 felt like a party to me, travelling to different cities to enjoy the pubs & clubs of the time. Watching this the people look much younger here in the video, however things don't look old fashioned or outdated in anyway. The only way I can put the fact it's 20 years ago into context is to think what it would have been like to watch footage of new years eve 1979 in early 1999 as that still feels like a long time ago as I was only 5 years old in that year. Thank you for the upload as I didn't see this at the time as I did not get home until 6 am on Saturday 01.01.2000, so only watch bits for the early morning sunrise 🌅 pieces.
I was near Tower Bridge during this, I was only 5 years old but remember being with my family and I was climbing up a tree alongside the Thames, good times....
I was 5 months old when we entered the new millennium now 22 years old watching this it was a time of hope and change for the better now here looking back at a time when the world had something to celebrate. Nothing to be happy about now here in 2021.
@ajs41 that's true but it seems like these past few years are a never ending stream of bad news and scary stuff, covid 2020/2021 war in Europe (ukraine) 2022 , war in middle east (gaza and israel) houti rebels in Yemen bombing shipping us and uk launching missiles 2023 and the cost of living crisis, but hopefully better days will return, as we go through the year and into the quarter of a century 2025 next year
We were all full of hope for the next millennium... Then we're catastrophically brought back down when 9/11 happened. No one looks back at the millennium, only death and destruction ☹️
Persons who were in their late 20s perhaps will never be able to forget the 1998-99 and year 2000, even movie like Titanic: my heart will go on...... Will the world ever be able to get that spirit of that classic era? After around mid millennium year, things started drifting, nostalgia creeping and the very next year 2001 set the trail of sufferings... for all, the dream had so suddenly vanished as the rest is choas and increasing anarchy. We need reconciliation and humanitarian values to soothe the scars and deeply inflicted wounds.... We need spirit of millennium year once more!
It was spectacular! At least in our own way of celebrating it with my family back then. I never imagined it then that this event was beyond any phenomenal celebration. If only we could do this every year over and over again. But this is just a once in a lifetime event in the life of a human being we will never be able to see another that only if you're lucky enough to live for more than a thousand years lol
True, but there was the flip side. The Millenium Dome exhibition was appalling on a monumental scale. It is still seared into my memory. A building full of rubbish and nothing to show for it. It really brought home how we no longer made things. It was beyond abysmal.
@@clairduffy60 I wasn't having a dig at the Olympics - they were superb and yes, the Olympics EVER! ...but the Millenium Dome and exhibition was a horror show and showed us up painfully. But yes, we more than made up for this with 2012.
1:21 That famous song we all know so well that scares us in the middle of the night while the hour plays and it has a deep impact on this country. Westminister has started silence is required everyone. I personally love that and have clocks that also play it makes me feel better. I never know what to expect and people always seem to have a clock which is nice.
I remember awakening at a house party the next morning, loads of us twentysomethings slept on the floor. Four of us got the bus back home, it was all smokey because of the fireworks the night before. The streets were desserted, really eerie, like a scene from 28 Days Later or Shaun of the Dead.
Me too - I was 20 years old, at a party round a friends house. What a time to be alive and what an age to be at that moment. I have this entire broadcast on VHS somewhere in the loft - but I'd have more luck finding the tape than I would something that could still play it...
@@StuartHaddow I have a fully working S-VHS machine, yet not this recording. I have only a VHS 📼 tape and have been thinking of dispensing of the VHS machine as its so rarely used today.
I believe they are still tying to find the river of fire. The Dome, as a shock to no one was a dud. Cherrie going way over the top to old Lang syne was a highlight. I watched from 10am to 5am the following morning seeing in the vast majority of New Year celebrations around the world. We had a party on our close with the tv on outside. Holding it 99/00 rather than 00/01 was the right call given the optics. That year Sydney was the best and took us a few years to catch up.
I wish I grew up in a time without phones ig I kind of experience it in late 2000s early 2010s that sense of community and engagement in the world around you is unbeatable I was born early 2000s
Watching this at 28 years old in a Library filled with people born in 2000-2003.... I was about to turn 7 in a community hall that no longer exists watching this at a family party. There's probably someone near me who's parents hadn't met yet. and I just thought... this was closer to me leaving Secondary in 2009, it is to now...
My Mum went to watch this with my family as she lived in London at the time, she told me that she and my uncle got split from my Grandmother, Grandfather and Aunty when they went back to her flat, I wish I could have been there!
New Year's Eve 1999 was the only time that New Year was much more anticipated than Christmas. The Millennium Dome opened on Friday 31st December 1999, but only to the 10,000 invitational guests and not to the public. Anticipation was extremely high, as everybody wanted to know what was inside The Millennium Dome.
The Great London Millennium celebration was the most important centerpiece attraction of the 2000 Today: The Great Global Millennium Day Celebration TV Special, where Big Ben ranged the bell for the beginning of the 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium. The most important celebration was witnessed by the BBC and WGBH Boston, and this celebration was also witnessed by the ARTEAR El Trece Television Network of Argentina (during the El Dia del Milenio TV Special), Radio Caracas Television and Venevision of Venezuela, Rede Record and Rede Bandeirantes of Brazil, Canal Once TV of Mexico, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation of Australia, RTL Television and ProSieben of Germany, TF1 of France, YLE Television of Finland, the RAI Television Networks of Italy, the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation of South Korea, TV Asahi of Japan, and GMA Network of the Philippines
The way Dale Winton just flippantly says it's the first national lottery draw of the new millennium like it's the first one of the year. Humanity will be lucky to make it to the year 3000 let alone there still being a national lottery by then.
I was ill that day with a terrible cold so I stayed in at the time I was living on the 21st floor of a block the had a good view of The River Thames and thought to myself at least I’ll get to see the fireworks about 10 minutes before the fireworks are about to be let off fog descended which was worse as I was night up and I could not see a thing.
@@justaman5418 Yep cuz by the mid 80's you were old enough to appreciate great music videos, the boom of video gaming and arcades, max headroom and the rubix cube, The Trap Door claymation comedy and not being old enough to have to work in the Thatcher era and not pay the poll tax, yep being born in the 70's were the best!
The end of 1999 held a lot of people cheering and yelling from down below of the stage, balloons popped out of the way as many lights flickered (did not flash after 3 seconds until 2000) during the loudest roar of all the years in London. Last year in 1998 Dec 31, people did not come to the party but they celebrated at home only. Music came out. But this time in the 2000 day, many people scattered. The lucky years like this happened in 1998,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004, and 2005. We were worried about 2005 because we did not see the real footage of the fireworks. It was only seen on Itv1Wales, Dec 31 2004.
Fast fact: Former GMA Regional TV One Mindanao anchorman Tek Ocampo was assigned to London for the Great London Millennium celebration during the 2000 Today: The GMA Global Millennium Day Celebration TV Special, the Philippine version of the 2000 Today: The Great Global Millennium Day Celebration TV Special, with Mel Tiangco and the late Francis Magalona as the anchors of the Great London Millennium celebration, which was held at the Millennium Dome. Tek also reported the Great Icelandic Millennium celebration in Reykjavik as seen on the 2000 Idag: Hinn mikli alþjóðlegi þúsaldarhátíð TV Special on Stöð 2 of Iceland and the Great Portuguese Millennium celebration in Lisbon as seen on the RTP 2000 Hoje: A Grande Celebração do Dia Mundial do Milênio TV Special on the RTP Television Networks of Portugal
Hello. A couple of days ago I uploaded videos from the millennium videos too, but from Prague ( first video from Wenceslas Square at 23:35. The second one from Old Town Square with Czech countdown from the main celebration and the third video is a walk through Paris street directly to the main celebration with a monstrous firework. It was a very raucous celebration. It was amazing. Hope you enjoy the videos. The main thing is that I experienced this. It's a very nice memory of a huge celebration of the new millennium. Thank you for your attention and your very nice video. Greetings from the Czech Republic.🙂
Watching this footage is impossible not to feel a real sense of hope at a new Millennium dawning. I can actually feel the hairs on the back on my neck standing up. These people had no idea of what was to come - 9/11, the 2008 Global Financial crash, popstars we grew up with dying before they are old, Trump, Brexit, apocalyptic forest fires, and now Meghxit. The few bright times being the 2012 London Olympics, England winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup, and our Cricket team doing the same in 2019. No one is clutching a smartphone, taking a selfie, or looking jaded from phone screen overexposure.......and no women wearing those horrible thick eyebrows. What a different world it was then. Wish I could travel back to 1999 and tell people to brace themselves for what was coming, and to expect to no longer be naive and carefree. Those were indeed the days.....
@@UrbanPicturesUK 'meghxit' was in jest (humour!) because it rhymes with Brexit. Of course it's not 'serious' - just the light hearted flipside to Brexit. You gotta laugh, because Brexit isn't that funny.
Brilliant isn't it, I didn't get in till 6 am on Saturday 01.01.2000 after party 🎉 after party 🎉 with my friends. The other day on Wednesday 01.01.2020 I was up at 6 am to go to work as I had to open up the store. This involved driving to another city so no alcohol too the night before. ⚖️
Also I think it pays to remember that this century has not been a century of war, destruction and misery. Look at us, we can watch this video in very high quality on demand, no tapes, no discs. We can talk to anyone in the world in real time and publish our holiday photos to the world at large. We need never be bored. This was barely imagined in 2000. We're trying our best to tackle climate change. Yes automation, inequality and insecure work are causing long-term economic problems, but we are much richer and live better than we did in 2000. While inequality is growing, extreme poverty and hunger are disappearing. The wars we fight and the terrorist attacks we endue are small potatoes compared to the wholesale carnage of the twentieth century. We might not be living in utopia, but that was never going to happen. The third millennium is turning out much better than what it looks.
I hate that song, every year that bullsh*t song is sung and every year within the first week of the new year some serious BS has gone down in the world and that's why as soon as I hear it on the tv I switch over, we never learn from that song, never will and should be dumped into room 101!
Bit disappointing really compared to some. Sydney was the best one for me. The actual real start of the melenium was 2001. As there was never a year 0 in the current calendar. It started at year 1.
We really thought, at this moment, that the new millennium was going to be a utopia of utter peace and joy. Laugh or cry at that, as you see fit.
I really miss the optimism that was around in late 1999, we need that back.
Stop mansplaining
The world has been going to shit ever since. Britain is finished thanks to mass migration, Islam and Globalist politicians.

The way Dale Winton just flippantly says it's the first national lottery draw of the new millennium like it's the first one of the year. Humanity will be lucky to make it to the year 3000 let alone there still being a national lottery by then.
The last year of the 20th century was 2000. The 21st century began January 1, 2001.
I was ill that day with a terrible cold so I stayed in at the time I was living on the 21st floor of a block the had a good view of The River Thames and thought to myself at least I’ll get to see the fireworks about 10 minutes before the fireworks are about to be let off fog descended which was worse as I was night up and I could not see a thing.
Ah, so this is what happened just under a year before I was alive.
Moments like these makes me wish I was born in the 90s
Agreed. Also, hello there!
@@danzobeanz4818 even better being born in 70's
@@justaman5418 yes I was born in 1974 so was 25 in 1999 during the millennium buildup.
@@justaman5418 Yep cuz by the mid 80's you were old enough to appreciate great music videos, the boom of video gaming and arcades, max headroom and the rubix cube, The Trap Door claymation comedy and not being old enough to have to work in the Thatcher era and not pay the poll tax, yep being born in the 70's were the best!
The end of 1999 held a lot of people cheering and yelling from down below of the stage, balloons popped out of the way as many lights flickered (did not flash after 3 seconds until 2000) during the loudest roar of all the years in London.
Last year in 1998 Dec 31, people did not come to the party but they celebrated at home only. Music came out.
But this time in the 2000 day, many people scattered.
The lucky years like this happened in 1998,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004, and 2005.
We were worried about 2005 because we did not see the real footage of the fireworks.
It was only seen on Itv1Wales, Dec 31 2004.
Just before the world went crazy
The world has always been “crazy” u forgetting about ww2
At least there haven't been a World War (yet).
Fast fact: Former GMA Regional TV One Mindanao anchorman Tek Ocampo was assigned to London for the Great London Millennium celebration during the 2000 Today: The GMA Global Millennium Day Celebration TV Special, the Philippine version of the 2000 Today: The Great Global Millennium Day Celebration TV Special, with Mel Tiangco and the late Francis Magalona as the anchors of the Great London Millennium celebration, which was held at the Millennium Dome. Tek also reported the Great Icelandic Millennium celebration in Reykjavik as seen on the 2000 Idag: Hinn mikli alþjóðlegi þúsaldarhátíð TV Special on Stöð 2 of Iceland and the Great Portuguese Millennium celebration in Lisbon as seen on the RTP 2000 Hoje: A Grande Celebração do Dia Mundial do Milênio TV Special on the RTP Television Networks of Portugal
2000 was the final year of the 20th Century & 2nd Millennium
1 millions pounds worth of fireworks 😂 our current government couldn’t buy a box of sparklers with a million pounds
Wish I was alive to experience this
Oh my goodness I remember watching this on the TV when I was 9 years old, I turned 10 in 2000..I’m going to be 34 this year 😍
I would of been born weeks after that event. That’s right I am a millennium baby January 2000!!!
this was exactly 5 years, 2/1 days and 1 month before i was born
This was the first time they done a firework display to celebrate every new year cus of the new century
Hello. A couple of days ago I uploaded videos from the millennium videos too, but from Prague ( first video from Wenceslas Square at 23:35. The second one from Old Town Square with Czech countdown from the main celebration and the third video is a walk through Paris street directly to the main celebration with a monstrous firework. It was a very raucous celebration. It was amazing. Hope you enjoy the videos. The main thing is that I experienced this. It's a very nice memory of a huge celebration of the new millennium. Thank you for your attention and your very nice video. Greetings from the Czech Republic.🙂
That had been really at least 6 years before I was born.
What was the Martin Clunes sketch at the end?
I was 10, I was here with my parents
At least you were there, you can't knock that in anyway or form.
Robert Manners it was a good time
@@sukiesoya It was, I really miss the between, start and few years after the millennium.
@GCGalaxy Correct
Do you also have the "2000 to 1" final aired BBC on New Years Eve 1999?
No
For Auld Lang Syne my dear, I don’t know the words
We’ll take a cup of finest beer for the sake of the missing words

who’s watching this in 2999?
So... 24 years after (turning 25 after a while), where are we?
2020 anyone?
I am in 2021
god I remember this
1:44 nuke incoming!!
AND TWENTY YEARS ON WHAT A C**T WE HAVE MADE OF IT
Happy Millennium 2000
Little did we know, the Nokia 3310 would be launched.
Watching this footage is impossible not to feel a real sense of hope at a new Millennium dawning. I can actually feel the hairs on the back on my neck standing up.
These people had no idea of what was to come - 9/11, the 2008 Global Financial crash, popstars we grew up with dying before they are old, Trump, Brexit, apocalyptic forest fires, and now Meghxit. The few bright times being the 2012 London Olympics, England winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup, and our Cricket team doing the same in 2019.
No one is clutching a smartphone, taking a selfie, or looking jaded from phone screen overexposure.......and no women wearing those horrible thick eyebrows.
What a different world it was then. Wish I could travel back to 1999 and tell people to brace themselves for what was coming, and to expect to no longer be naive and carefree. Those were indeed the days.....
I hardly think "Meghxit" is in any comparable to Trump, Brexit, or apocalyptic forest fires!
@@UrbanPicturesUK 'meghxit' was in jest (humour!) because it rhymes with Brexit. Of course it's not 'serious' - just the light hearted flipside to Brexit. You gotta laugh, because Brexit isn't that funny.
@@robtyman4281 And don't forget the Corona Virus planned-emic that resulted in a whole world lock down
Born in September 2000.
I was born in 2001 I wasn’t even born yet
in 2000's my age was only 6 month :P
Yup. I was there near Blackfriars bridge. Now I can barely stay up until midnight
Brilliant isn't it, I didn't get in till 6 am on Saturday 01.01.2000 after party 🎉 after party 🎉 with my friends. The other day on Wednesday 01.01.2020 I was up at 6 am to go to work as I had to open up the store. This involved driving to another city so no alcohol too the night before. ⚖️
Also I think it pays to remember that this century has not been a century of war, destruction and misery. Look at us, we can watch this video in very high quality on demand, no tapes, no discs. We can talk to anyone in the world in real time and publish our holiday photos to the world at large. We need never be bored. This was barely imagined in 2000. We're trying our best to tackle climate change. Yes automation, inequality and insecure work are causing long-term economic problems, but we are much richer and live better than we did in 2000. While inequality is growing, extreme poverty and hunger are disappearing. The wars we fight and the terrorist attacks we endue are small potatoes compared to the wholesale carnage of the twentieth century. We might not be living in utopia, but that was never going to happen. The third millennium is turning out much better than what it looks.
Yeah China becoming the new super power and the threat of world war 3 really makes the future seem bright
I can't find any Auld Lang's Syne footage here - anyone found it?
I hate that song, every year that bullsh*t song is sung and every year within the first week of the new year some serious BS has gone down in the world and that's why as soon as I hear it on the tv I switch over, we never learn from that song, never will and should be dumped into room 101!
@@ZEUSDAZ chill out mate
Who is that singing God Save the Queen when the clock reached 12.19-12.20am GMT?
Wiggle Worm looks like Jennifer Hudson but she wasn’t famous then.
Bit disappointing really compared to some. Sydney was the best one for me. The actual real start of the melenium was 2001. As there was never a year 0 in the current calendar. It started at year 1.
mike roberts nope. Makes more sense to start with zero than end on one.
mike roberts no body cares the absent 0 has nothing to do with 2000 not beginning in the 21sr century there two things.
mike roberts that’s for purists.
mike roberts you are right that theres no year 0, but the calendar was not usage until 525. So basically theres is no year 1 either.
mike roberts the real start of the new millennium was September 11, 2001 imo
I well remember the turn of the new Millennium. For me it would signal my hitting 30 later that year!
It's Saturday 1st January 2000 (Between 31st December 1999-1st January 2000)
2000 and in 2020 no better for watching this.
1:44 it looks like a bomb went off behind big ben
you will be born in 1994
Who's watching 22 years later
I was 9 years old!
The good old 90’s
Damn... 21 years ago huh?
What has happened in 21. years since Chaos. On a ricter. scale
