BBC Two Rebrand and Onwards

I really do like how the scene in the mirror is so calm and when it pulls out the car driving along is so hurried. And do the sparks coming off the mirror remind people of the classic era 2 copper?

I remember when the yellow ones were launched, lots of derision. But these have been accepted by far more people straightaway.

Rats, I missed that. But I saw it on TV & Radio Bits and it looks and sounds fabulous in practice. Someone's said it reminds them of Copper Cut-out, but IMO it also has a hint of Optics in it - is it just me, or is the string instrument in the background on the soundtrack playing part of Optics's tune?

Something's just occurred to me about Chase - it could be the base for some kind of series - man caught in mysterious world, being chased around and whose only refuge is these 2-shaped portals. Could eventually lead to the yellow studio used from 01-07...

I actually think that they should do some more Chase idents in the next lot to keep the story going.

With slight glitching in the audio alas. I am pretty much fringe reception here mind, so I'm surprised I made it this far.

I've just realised looking at the Network montage that they included Predator and the Christmas one where it was a block of ice. That means we will never see any of the old 2's again!

And if you think about it how could we? They're not in keeping with the window on the world theme are they?

Not necessarily... they could reappear.

I hope not, force them to make more for this new theme, rather than be lazy and cop out!

So who is gonna start speculating on the xmas idents. Xmas cards with 2's cut out of them?

Traditional household family xmas scenes, seen through 2 shaped windows from the outside in...

Does anyone get the feeling Christmas is coming earlier every year???

Did anyone else notice that most of the idents have the word "Subtitles" positioned at the top left but not Zoetrope... any ideas why that is?

Mentioned a bit further back in this thread. Probably due to the amount of space in the top left or right.

Ah sorry for not checking ... but thanks for replying
