50 years of BBC Two

Apparently some Red Dwarf fans have been complaining that the show hasn't been included in the birthday celebrations (based on its omission in a Telegraph article it seems) to the point of accusing the BBC of re-editing All About Two to include it. It seems there might be some truth in them omitting it from the website however, which has since been rectified.

Red Dwaf was on the BBC 2 website What had to be rectified?

I was surprised the only reference to Spike Milligan's 'Q' was a 5 second clip, his programmes spanned the anarchic gap between Monty Python (a BBC 1 show) and the alternative comedy of the 80s, The Young Ones and 'Red Dwarf' notably.

Also, were Absolutely Fabulous and Who Do You Think You Are both originally BBC 2 shows ?

Not sure, but that was the gist I got from various twitter posts this morning.

Ab Fab first aired on BBC 2, 12/11/1992: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p008s450

Who Do You Think You Are started on BBC 2 in 2007

Either the twitter people are blind or the bbc took the pic back off. The pic was from the first series.

I've looked into it a bit further. Apparently it was missing from this list when it was first published.

Robert Llewellyn blogged about it and Danny John-Jules (on twitter) attacked the BBC over it, it was reported on Digital Spy, and there was a petition too.

"All About TWO" is now on YouTube:

So the BBC 2 50th idents - have they been used in full before? Just saw a longer cut of the cake one being used as a proper ident rather than a sting before one and don't think I've seen that yet.

They've been using full versions as proper idents on a regular basis for a few days now, since last weekend.

Did anyone on here go to the Play School anniversary event this afternoon ?
