If we're going to be pedantic about social distancing on the Beeb, perhaps we could have a white BBC1 logo on a black background. Quick, cheap and no-ones within 2m of each other! Sorted.

(also maybe we could get the original countdown sequence back on NC? Some scense have people much too close to each other Wink)

(if a mod could reduce the size of the image with the BBCode because I don't know how to do it on here. Many thanks)

That is seriously sombre and wouldn't really lift the mood of the public.

But do the cirles idents show people social distancing, which seems to be this week's excuse for why people want Oneness scrapped? Razz

The figures on the kites ident certainly appear to be more than two metres apart (the 2009 re-edit handily cuts out the shots where people are seen to be closer together).

They have been using the idents without any people in them all together at some junctions like the mountain rescue one with no one there. Would be quite amusing if they used all of them wirh no people in them.

Can't be that quick if it made them an hour late for the news.

Yeah, but if they brought back the Circles idents, the hippos would be swimming too close together so that's not gonna work

Do you mean the Forest ident? Unless they have modified existing idents by CGI'ing the humans out. I am not aware of this.

Is there any published evidence that aquatic creatures are capable of catching Coronavirus if not socially distancing?

I have read dogs can catch it.

Aah my mistake it is an ident if it’s own then?

Pretty sure the empty mountain rescue one is a sting, not an ident.

Around half the Circles idents are actually fine to use, so if they did re-introduce them it wouldn't set people off about social distancing.

Hippos, Neon, Mission Control, Helicopter, Dog Display, Magic Forest, Windows, Lawn Circles - all ones that should be fine to use.

I wonder if there is footage of the locations of the current idents that may have be filmed when setting up the shooting.

Using the empty locations with a message saying stay at home could send the message home to people.

There are no plans to replace Oneness.
