BBC One

I'm starting to remember something. Was it sting captures we thought would make a good ident or the front page of BBC1's autumn season brochure with swirling leaves that we thought would make a great ident?

TV Forum's favourite announcer is on BBC One this evening. Haven't heard the lady in a while and I must say, the husky voice seems to have gone. Every word's now coming through loud and clear.

I'm guessing that the fags have been ditched?

It's still a bit husky. She sounds so much like Holly Walsh from CBBC.

Going back to the Wallace and Gromit Christmas isting, I noticed BBC One is in red. Could we finally be getting an ident with different coloured lettering?

Why does it always need to be white is what I want to know?

No, they just work different shifts.

She still doesn't sound very 'BBC1', she should be moved to BBC3 immediately

Does BBC3 & 4 have dedicated announcers or do they use the same pool as BBC1 & 2 does?

I'd agree - the sore throat might have gone, but she'll always sound more suited to BBC3.

That's just how her style comes across - and, short of putting on a different accent, that's how it'll always be.

Is this husky voiced announcer doing a 12 hour shift or something? She was on in the afternoon and evening. How long is a typical continuity announcer's shift on the Beeb?

No, she really doesn't sound suited to continuity at all.

Are the live streams up yet, or will they start later?

Good question, I'm waiting myself

The pages have been working on the iPlayer site for a week or two now, even though it doesn't officially launch until this week.

Video streaming has been working since the pages appeared.
