Forest used on Network.

Forest being aired on BBC ONE. When your main story is a terror attack on the capital, it's a wise decision to use the most sombre ident of the set.

Yes, Network and Scotland aired Forest . I'm surprised NI misjudged the gravity of today's news and chose Sea Swimmers (along with Wales), especially as they used it at 6pm.

I like the concept but, technically, it's not great. It's not in HD res, is it. Look at the BBC logo. Fairly indistinct.

Still better than any of the idents.

Forest was used by BBC One NI for the 6pm news.

Forest should ALWAYS be the news ident. Smiling swimmers and birdwatchers just aren't suitable to lead into news bulletins. How somebody couldn't make that call from day 1 is beyond me!

Network had birdwatchers leading into the Six on the day of tne terrorist attack and I don't know how that got through!
