oh they are lovely aren't they. It;s nice to see World have kept their 2000signature tune. It's a lovely bit of music.


I agree. I really like the new ident. It's classy, yet bold. I guess that's kind of a oxymoron, but whatever.


The visuals remind me of the Pre 1999 virtual era of BBC National News.

Even after twelve years of watching, I still love Nisha Pillai's unique presentation style. She excels in news anchoring.

But, who the heck was the sports presenter (David Gorido??? was the name perhaps announced - not sure) who appeared on screen with hair gelled in a spiky teenage fashion?

Not very nice for BBC World..............

What on earth do you mean not very nice for BBC World. The channel has lots of diverse and different presenters doesn't it? Rolling Eyes

I take it you had an English lesson recently what with all these new words you are banging about. Either way it still doesn't disguise the fact you're a worthless american chump.

That's not very cosmopolitan Hyma! If he's a US chump at least he "almost" speaks the same lingo as us, unlike 23 of our fellow compadres in the EU Very Happy

Although I take your point, since it is possible to be CLASSY and BOLD in that they are not mutually exclusive.

At least the kid is trying to improve his vocabulary and participate in the discussions on the forum. If you ever make a worthwhile contribution to the forum, one which doesn't involve bitching about or directly attacking somebody, I'm sure everyone will be pleasantly surprised.

It takes a very small and insecure person to try and assert themselves by constantly mocking those around them while contributing nothing useful to proceedings. Perhaps you should consider just how extraordinarily worthless the vast majority of your own contributions to this forum are before picking on others.

I can't say I've audited them recently but I think my bitching to contribution ratio is closer to 50 50

a very nice and classy ident it has to be said, very impressive, just the breakfiller to go now, the only thing to me that looks out of place is the countdown, somehow they should fade the countdown into the new ident but make it look seamless in the process.

Am I the only one who's starting to think that the eye and aric2007 are actually the same person, a sort of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?

Is there a person in the newsroom whose role is taking care of the make-up? If so that person definitely exceeded with Alastair Yates's make up tonight, he looks kinda like a bronze statue, the contrast between his ear and the rest of the face is breathtaking.


aric2007 is me. I hate to say this but "the eye" is driving me crazy. He thinks that they won't be back in the World set... I hope they'll be back soon.


FFS Your the one annoying ME. I know they are going back to their set, have you ever heard of sarcasm???


Sorry, Damo... What I meant was "no offense"... Anyway, I just saw the current ident to BBC World. Looks nice, by the way.
