A lot of idents over the years have been accused of being just a random bit of footage with a logo slapped on, but usually they have a musical score or a colour scheme, or the logo does something interacting with the footage.

This literally is just a bit of film with a logo slapped on.

I wonder if it would have been even worse if I hadn't had 2/3rds of a bottle of champagne.

SS-GB looks interesting to watch.

Probably what they're rebranding the news.

Like if a comedy show from that era did a spoof rhythm and movement ident.

I fear for TWO and FOUR when they are refreshed.

Like French & Saunders did... and E4 for that matter. In fact they were better.

I hope this is just a temp job, BBC One needs a new logo and a complete rethink in how presentation works in a Netflix age. BBC America editing and VO style would work well. Obviously prime the PR department to fend of the DM as will cost over £1million.

NI and Wales had the same, but please someone cap the Wales ident off the iPlayer if they can as the CA introduced them with the following:

"Mmm - no, I haven't got a clue either. I quite liked the balloons myself."
