Danny Dyer on announcer duty introducing The FA Cup fourth round match between Arsenal and Man Utd.

I'm guessing Danny Dyer will be 2019's TV Personality That Appears Everywhere.

Expect him to replace Schofie in those WeBuyAnyCar adverts and BT adverts this year.

Just watched that - funny timing as they do the ident "we'll hand you to Clive Myrie for a news update" then cut to the character of Ric Griffin on Holby, up on a platform holding a megaphone condemning the state of the NHS! There for a good minute before going back to trailers.

Maybe, I do have an interesting question for you all. In many countries (I live in the Netherlands) they have no 'announcing idents', which I find very unfortunate. They only have short idents of at most 3-6 seconds (VRT Belgium, NPO Netherlands, ARD / ZDF Germany, DR Denmark).


How would you like it if the BBC abolishes 'announcing idents'? Instead, you get a short ident.

I don't know if our style of TV presentation is unique to the UK but it's certainly a lot different compared to most countries, I imagine because of the influence that the BBC's existing style had on commercial television when it launched here, compared to if we had started with commercial TV only. It would be a great shame if it was lost, and I think it's the reason why we have TV Forum in the first place.


The increased use of programme sponsorships has rather done away with the ability for commercial channels to do extremely BBC influenced continuity, sadly. You don't really see idents fading into the programme on those channels now, like in this example:
