The 1997-2001 CBBC idents are widely available on the internet, but there's one I've yet to find. When the look first launched, at the end of CBBC, there'd be an ident in the usual black on yellow style featuring a spinning coin. It'd spin onto the floor, and |B|B|C| (c) BBC MCMXCVII (or whatever) would appear at the bottom. All the sites I've found have the later version from about 2000, with the warning signs, but I've yet to find the original version.

Anyone have it?

Anyway,on the otis clip on CBBC/Backstage/Past Presenters there's a version with Otis the Aardvark replacing the coin. I wouldn' t watch the bit before though!

Thanks! All those Otis clips were good to see, too.

Like most of the BBC streaming stuff the video quality was pretty bad, but good to see it anyway!
