50 years of BBC Two

A range of different programmes have just been announced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of BBC2.

Programmes include the one-off return of comedy Goodness Gracious Me and a quiz called 'All About Two' hosted by Dara O Briain.

Remains to be seen if we'll see a documentary and special pres like we did for the 40th.

There's also going to be something Fast Show related apparently.

If so - nice!

All About Two: 50th Anniversary Special Trailer - BBC Two
The Quiz Show that unravels 50 years of programmes and forgets how to put it all back together again. Join Dara Ó Briain and a host of stars from BBC Two's past and present.

I like how the trailer DOG's rotation emulates the channel's first colour ident.

And I would quite like the "various-old-logos" wallpaper in my house.

I like how for the '2' window, instead of using the current '2', they used the '2' from 1991 to 2007.

Bizarrely He also hosted a show about 2 ten years ago when he looked back on the History of RTE 2 as RTE changed the name back from Network 2.

It would be the worlds most subtle change in history - would it really be worth the effort?

He means at the start of the above trail they've used the Lambie-Nairn "2" rather than the slightly different, 2007 onwards one.

Oh aye, my bad, misread.

Nice

Could have, maybe, used the '2' balloon, in amongst the 'regular' balloons, though
Possible ident(s) for use with the forthcoming relevant programming?

They've even added in that 2 teapot that was used for a week or so during BBC2's english season in 1991.
