[quote="Steve in Pudsey" pid="1063047"]If we're being pedantic, did BBC Scotland ever have an animated BBC 2 symbol? That looks very much like the same kind of static slide the regions had.[quote]
Correct - it's a slide. As far as I'm aware, only Network had the electronic kit that generated that ident live. The English regions, Scotland, Wales and NI only had slide versions of that symbol, as far as I'm aware. And the same goes for the successor to this ident - the "TWO" symbol.
On top of that because it was a network programme BBC Scotland would never have introduced it, so a Network ident is correct
The Network version of the ident was played out by Glasgow - either that, or they took Network vision. A BBC Scotland announcer introduced the programme at 10pm last night on BBC Two Scotland.

Yes! what I meant was Glasgow played out the correct ident, network ident for network show

So, are you telling me that BBC Scotland announcers now use Network idents on BBC Two Scotland to introduce networked programmes?

Lets start again, I think were all getting whirlwind up.
In the content of White gold: A programme from 1983, in which someone at BBC 2 is using classic press to introduce the programme. Glasgow used the correct ident, IE back in the day Glasgow would only appear if there was an opt out on BBC2 Scotland ( this was the way until just last year) Since this was a network programme, and back then you would only see Local ident if it was a local programme, Glasgow used the correct classic ident. Does that make since?
I do wonder if the presentation departments indulge in this nostalgia stuff a little too often sometimes. Maybe it's just my perception but it does seem to be a little too often for it to still be so effective. I don't know - maybe others disagree.
I love old idents with a passion, but I'm beginning to get a little closer to this point of view, if they are pulled out on a whim like this and shown for, seemingly, pretty ridiculous reasons.
