Does anybody have a video of the very last showing of the BBC Two Paint ident from November 2001?

I know it's in the link below but the announcement is cut off and I know I saw a full version back in the day on TV and Radio Bits or The TV Room.

I remember that it was on TV & Radio Bits before its closure. Although I don't have the clip, I do remember the full announcement after the cut-off.

Quote:
"... and to take us into the new look, an old but well respected film from director Robert Wise."


I will direct you to this page though. This is the only location where it can be seen. However, from what I have read, the servers providing the clips are only online a couple times a day. Taking into consideration that the page and the site for that matter is inactive, it seems more of an impossible feat. I second this.

Yes, it looks nigh-on impossible, but I've emailed the guy to ask him if he still has a copy.

Such a pity. I do remember it exactly:

Look your last now, because the face of BBC Two is changing forever as of tomorrow morning. To take us into the new world, an old but well-respected film from director Robert Wise.

Thanks very much for trying anyway.

You've got a good memory!

I found a copy of the file from informativostv.com squirrelled-away on an old drive (apparently I downloaded it in 2003), and have uploaded it here:

(metropol upload isn't working for me tonight).

Enjoy!

You're a star! Thank you so very much!

You wouldn't happen to have any other files from BBC2's last day as well, would you? No worries if not!

I found BBC2 Wales and BBC2 Scotland's final announcements (also downloaded from the informativostv I guess):

Nice to see Wales doing something a little different.

Looking for these has been a great excuse to watch hoarded downloads from old pres sites Laughing
