The thing that gets me is whoever designs these seems to think they look good enough to air. A little bit of quality control would go a long way - or at least design some proper templates with some text allignment control.

You are aware using "NW" comes across as if you're referring to the North West region rather than "Network"...?


Not really. You have worked out I meant Network, so the shorthand seems adequate to me.


I didn't. My head's already full of DVB Cornwall's shortenings.

How was it in the other regions?

Something that’s bugging me about the new font size on these Christmas endboards is that the BBC Two box now looks out of place, or the text looks like it’s going too far off to the right of the screen.

I know, nobody cares but us, but it just looks wrong to me.


Yes, they need to decide if they are going to be 4:3 safe or not and be consistent. Otherwise it ends up as the sort of dog's dinner that would get quickly faded out in the Gallery on here.

Agreed, that is a hot mess of an endboard. The logo placement doesn't help either.

It needs burning and starting again.

Glad it wasn't just me

The problem is they’ve taken the existing 2011 endboard and just put the new text style on top of it. It was only really designed to be used with smaller text.

Do I remember rightly that 2 NI at one point had just a BBC logo - no box, no "TWO".


That was the 2008 refresh on network which lasted all of a couple of hours...

No need to link to the Metropol backup any more. The TV Room went back online a few months ago.

I just went with what came up first on Google. Perhaps someone needs to put a redirect on the backup pages if it’s a concern.

Network just used Zapper into League of Gentlemen for whatever reason.

The ident for first ever ep of League of Gentlemen was the Zapper back in 1999. More info below.

Ah cool, I hoped there would be a reason behind it!

Although the reason is lost considering 20 year old idents are now standard.
