As I've remarked previously, I would love to see idents in the style of the Balloons where they film the beautiful landscapes of the UK, but not necessarily with the balloon.

The balloons would look rather outdated now. The channel is trying to aim for more younger viewers as the average viewing age goes up, we should be thinking of the future. If anything an identity that can tie itself to BBC One's most popular programmes. They need to review how they do junctions and continuity on the channel, it's rather stagnant.

Seeing that all three of the main BBC channels have high average viewing ages - filling the hole left by the BBC THREE linear channel is a sound idea for BBC ONE - but it really does need presentation that is witty, sophisticated and thought-provoking to everyone. It’s currently stuck in its own ‘dull and worthy’ dimension with Oneness.

There daytime lineup will need to be gutted out. Mind you the only two things I really liked when back when I was 18ish on BBC one daytime was Neighbours and 2.10 Classic Drama: Quincy, DM, MSW and Bergerac. I dont think BBC one will want to muck around with the daytime will there?

The daytime programming on ONE is relatively cheap and rates decently - but they wouldn’t alienate the older audience watching the likes of Doctors, Pointless and Escape to the Country.

For young audiences, surely they’d target prime time, wouldn’t they?

If you go by some people views, most older people traveling to much on there free bus passes while the young are lazy and unemployed. IE watching daytime tv.

With no new "oneness" masterpiece revealed in September, can we start hoping that this is the beginning of the end for them? Maybe with Strictly starting properly on Saturday, a return to the circles idents is on the cards? Or is that just hope and naivety talking?

It speaks volumes when even Sprout Boy is better than Oneness.

Sprout Boy had good intentions. It was just a crap concept that wore thin very quickly.

Regardless of my opinions on the character itself, the idents were a major disappointment as they were second fiddle to the extended trailer, and consisted of badly looped animations.
Jonny, DE88 and fanoftv gave kudos
