BBC One

I've now seen it - though not actually on the telly box yet, but then I haven't had much chance to.

I do like it a lot, it's quite calm yet memorable. And as much as some of you mention the lack of a 'symbol', I actually think the circle is very strong, and works very well. You don't need the 'signature red' because the music, the circle and the logo complement each other well, with the latter two coming across to the other presentation elements.

That's something that other channels don't do as well IMO - making the idents feel similar to (say) the trailer endboards.

It's Peter Offer -- I'm a bit surprised you didn't twig that, because he's been there doing continuity for years and years now!

He's the one that always drowns out the music on the continuity announcements. Very annoying.

Seriously? I thought another voice was Peter Offer *finds clip*

Has BBC ONE got rid of "The one to watch"? Haven't seen that in ages.

Yes

Somebody said that Surfers was being rested but I spotted it last night during the Sign Zone. I wish they would rest Neon on Saturday nights and put more idents on, but that's not likely unfortunately.

Capes ... it's very ITV isn't it.

At least with BBC1 it has a general theme of a circle (even though it's not a logo), but for the life of me I couldn't tell you what the theme was for those ITV idents!

"Alive with yellow" apparently. In theory its good, but some of them are horrific/pointless/have no relevance to the show I mean there is one that looks like a sewers exploding which is often on before the news.

Anyway I'll shut up now because its not an ITV thread

How many versions of Magical Forest can BBC One play out in one day?!

They've had the original one, the short one, and now the longer one! Ah well...

Isn't the original the same as the long version?

On a sidenote, I haven't seen Windows recently though so I wonder if that is the ident that is being rested.
