Finally got round to uploading this. Doesn't seem to be any other episodes online, so thought i'd finally put up the full episode I was on. Subzero. BBC Two, Sunday 21st February 2001, 10:50am, live from TC1 at BBC Television Centre.

They are my favourite idents of all time!

Personal favourite of the lot (this I may have mentioned before Smile)


The Christmas set wasn't bad either, especially the firework ones. But the entire Carlton package was just absolutely beautiful. It looked great, it sounded great and it still looks good best part of 20 years later.

Totally agree, a wonderful package of idents with a brilliant concept using the heart and star, all eye catching, all tied together with variations of the same melody, all featuring a quick build up culminating in a wonderful logo slide with simple and gentle animation and lighter music design for continuity announcers to talk over. This ticks all the boxes for a brilliant campaign with a great amount of variations to suit most programmes and works well. How did we go from creations like these in 1999 to today's standard of presentation? Admittedly ITV's current presentation works well and has many variations, but across the board we've seen a greater number of channels and a massive decline in my opinion.

I've just found a early BBC1 1969 Colour Ident.

I don't know if it has been on here before but it's a good find

Nearly! It has been incorrectly colourised from a black and white telerecording - it had been mentioned somewhere it's from an old documentary.

STV to TV-am, 12th June 1988 introduced by a lady very enthusiastic for 6am on a Sunday... (Note: if you pause the clip correctly you see a testcard from LWT at the switchover)

The enthusiastic TVam presenter is Georgey Spanswick, now the presenter of the BBC's national local radio evening programme

Georgie was also a reporter on the afternoon show on the early-90s National Cable station 'Wire TV - The Cable Network'. CNN's Femi Oke, and Kathryn Aponowicz also presented. Georgie mainly presented live OBs from around the country (they'd spend a week in each region) - the main studio was in a Bristol shopping centre I think.

These sort of strange things were appearing at the breakfast switchovers- even into the 00s!
