Also, has anyone noticed that NI uses capitals in the "Next" part of their ECPs unlike the network?

Well NI always has to do things differently for some reason.

The junction leading up to Wild Cameramen at Work on NI was a bit skewiff. Two blip stings in a row, a ten second-ish black screen and no fade-in between the ident and the programme.

The Great British Bake Off has a new competition! You have to design a '2' shaped cake! Interesting... Wink

Sorry for the double post but the ident (Seascape) into This is BBC Two played the music from the June 2009 refresh with no announcer.

You may have misunderstood; 'This is BBC Two' is a preview loop of programme clips, shown when nothing is scheduled - at present, it is still pre- the HD service changes. Network typically do not play an ident into this - instead, the loop itself includes the idents.

As it dates from before the current music was introduced, it still features the old music between programme clips. Including the now withdrawn Tent Festival.

Not sure why you mention the previous music as being from the 2009 refresh... They didn't change any music that year; it was the same as 2007 until recently, wasn't it?

Also, has anyone noticed that NI uses capitals in the "Next" part of their ECPs unlike the network?

It looks better as such, I would say. Pretty sure if anything that it's meant to be in uppercase.

Not the first time that NI have seemed a wee bit more Pres-aware than network - but there you are...

Sorry, got my wording wrong. I also haven't recorded that late since January so I didn't know.

Another menu adaptation of the 'there's always more to see' trail, spotted after Dragons' Den tonight - has this been seen before?
