...and BBC2 NI showed Giant's Causeway, before Strictly: It Takes Two.

Now that has to be a recreation!


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...

Well I never knew that. Thanks for the information!

It's interesting that they're going retro by showing an ident newer than the current ones!

BBC One Northern Ireland used a fish ident before EastEnders, which appears to be a new ident, as I don't think I've it seen before.

I dont think that is NI ident, something more likely to do with 9pm show Wink Scotland also broadcast it.

...as did Network.

Here's the ident in full, and with clean audio:

For anyone who's not currently watching the 50th anniversary film from 1974 on BBC Two NI now, catch it on iPlayer. It's such a fascinating documentary.

BBC1 NI showed the widescreen BBC1 Clock (1998, I think), leading into BBC News at 10.

Wasn't generated live and was obviously pre-recorded, mainly because the second hand remained in the 12 position for a little too long when it hit 10 o' clock.
