The colour of these things varied subtley, sometimes from day to day - typically the source was actually black and white, with the colour keyed on. The network globe model was changed to pink one year for Valentines Day.

Does anyone know whether all of these idents are genuine? Obviously some of the older ones are CGI remakes but are they close to how the 60s/70s BBC idents would have looked? Particularly some of the BBC 2 ones.

The original BBC Two ident looks like recreation - it's far too clean and smooth for something that's as old as it is.

Worth watching for a few behind the scenes shots of the continuity studio!

It is a beautifully made mock. BBC 2 wasn't actually available in Northern Ireland in 1964.

BBC1 NI showed Irish '6' (Islands in Lough), before Pointless.

Yes I know but I mean did these idents actually look like this? Particularly the B&W BBC 2 one. Did an NI variant actually exist?

It's actually a version that's never been seen on air until today. The reason it was changed is because the imagery - with the tall columns, smoke and shaky camera effect - made it all look a bit too "Ground Zero". Bear in mind it was produced in 2001 when that was all still very raw. So Lambie-Nairn made an amended version with lower columns, no smoke, and different music.

You *might* catch it again later tonight at 10...
