It'll probably be shown before the news.

Great show, BBC One! A well overdue break from Oneness and a step in the right direction with #XmasLife!

For those that missed it, or don’t have access, what was shown this morning?

News-safe variants, and as the new Christmas ident aired just now someone commented ‘Fake’ on the Y&L ident I uploaded earlier.

Gives me a definite Christmas-y feel. More than Oneness.

So I just found myself having to look up what a Roomba is.

And now, I want one!

The thread subtitle is the first time in my life that I've encountered the word Roomba, so I had to look it up. Why the blithering flip are robot vacuum cleaners called that? Is it a brand name?

I instantly despised the word on sight, every bit as much as despise various tossy corporate jargon words that I hear in my office workplace. The very existence of the word Roomba offends me.

I was thinking exactly the same myself, I suddenly feel about 80, I’ve never heard the term ‘Roomba’ in my life and was surprised when suddenly half the forum was using that word in common usage when the ident was first revealed yesterday.

Roomba's been around at least over 15 years, here's an SNL sketch on it, from 2009

The ident that was shown in the background during the launch trailer with the BBC One logo in the centre of the screen looked awesome. Pity it has been relegated to the bottom of the screen again.

I think it was a sting rather than an ident, the logo full screen with the cat on the Roomba going past in the background would make a snappy sting...
