Anybody see the Sting version of Mirror just before 8pm? T'was rather nice; again no soundtrack, just chimes to accompany the 'sparking' 2.

Missed that one but fortunately TV & Radio BIts managed to capture it if you care to scroll down this page: Click Me


Looks good, just hope they continue to use them for a while

Certainly a better designed site - nice to have a rotating logo image on the side. And good to see a load of the old 2s on there in video that I've never seen before, especially the really early (arguably 'darker') 90s stings. Now if only someone working on the site could bung them all on a DVD Wink

Cheers, Asa

Weirdly, however, they've chosen to squash all the old idents/etc to 16:9 (even the ones which HAD 16:9 versions made & shown...)

Edit: They've also included the "pedigree comedy" 2s in with the early stings.

does anyone happen to have the full 55 second soundtrack to silk? it's such an amazing piece of music, especially when pipes and stuff start to come into play.

It#s a shame that they don't make them as long as they used to. I mean even the News 24 countdown is shorter these days Sad

2-spoofing on Dead Ringers there.

Ooh very nice, keep em coming BBC Two. Nice nod to Copper Cutout that one.

And in a weird case of deja vu, it seems I'm watching So Graham Norton at the moment Laughing

Pfft... what a joke! The new BBC TWO website doesn't seem to think I'm in the UK... and I'm using a UK ISP (Bethere.co.uk) Rolling Eyes It seems to be the only UK bit of BBC I can't access!

Laughing Yeah liked that they used the Domino ident for the "millions of 2's will be put down" line

The R.S.P.C.I. (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Idents) will be running adverts to house them next! Laughing

"If you could house a poor, rejected 2 raised in poverty, call the R.S.P.C.I...."

BBC2 Scotland just aired a Network next/later/then promo - which doesn't match the BBC2 Scotland scheduling (BBC2Scot's got a double-bill of Masterchef @6 due to Gaelic programmes displacing Thursday's edition, but the trailer showed Nature's Calendar @6 and a single Masterchef @6:30).

Are they all asleep at the continuity desks or something?

I've been on the BBC Two website but there's no video playing on the clips - it's just the audio with an aqua coloured background.
Is this meant to happen?
