ive just listened to that last announcement over and over and over and over (well what else is there to do at 1.45am?) - and she said as of tomorow morning its changing - and look your last (which could be reference to that particular ident) - so its not definate that 1.55 is a waste of time

(well we can hope cant we!)

RW posted:
According to the Radio Times the film runs from 12.45-1.55, but BBC What's On now says it runs 12.50-2.00. So I suspect it'll just be a straight lead in to the Learning Zone, and so the final ident will probably be at 12.50.  And my guess for that one?  Paint - they should go out where they came in.


I just had to include RW's amazing guesses from page 1 of this thread here!Very Happy
