BBC One

I think BBC One just had a themed ident for Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. I think I spotted the hippo with a red nose but I missed the start of the show.

i actually think that s good because they are proving themselves to be versatile (sp) idents, Xmas, Comic relief, St davids day!

My initial reaction was one of surprise; but then, even the Dancers had an ident, with Brian Potter (Peter Kay) joining in with Ade and co on Hip Hop, so if anything it was only right they did one for this year too.

But, it's good to see the Red Nose itself make an appearance in an ident again.

Right near the end of the standard ident, the hippo on the far left (seen in the image above) swims towards the screen, very close, and then off to to the right. In this Comic Relief version, that's the one wearing the nose, so should 30 sec or more get played, we'll see a proper close-up of it.

From what I've seen for now, it's well-implemented I think.

Much better than the spoof Brian Potter ident, hopefully another ident will have a red nose theme even though it's highly unlikely. Hopefully they'll do one for Children In Need and Doctor Who.

You just know that if the balloon was still around Doctor Who would have had a special ident.

Hi

Comic Relief Does Car Booty
Sun 4 Mar, 6:45 pm - 7:35 pm 50mins

So this means that we may get another look at the Ident tonight, seeing as so many people said that they missed it and hopefully we may see a close if the ident is played for more than 30 seconds.

That's 2 themed idents so far then. And if they did one for St.David's day, I think that this set is going to be big on themed idents lads! Like BBC2 91-97

I don't. It's currently exactly the same effort as in the Dancers era - BBC Wales with St. David's Day and the Peter Kay ones.

The only hope is the fact that this 'idea' is much more versatile.

I do like the red nose Hippo though - hopefully they can get a few full airings to see that closeup shot.

It's funny we are talking bout themed ident's. i was completely expecting one on new year's day of the fireworks on the London Eye for BBC One. Shame it didn't happen, would of looked quite effective.

The red nose ident may wel get two outing tonight. Comic Relief Does Fame Academy at 7pm and 10.35pm. The 10.35 junction is sometimes quite long so we may get more than 30 secons, thus getting a close up of the nose.

Odd moment going into DIY SOS just now...We had a Ring a Roses ident played pretty much full due to an incredibly delayed anno; and then, what initially looked like the Kites ident was in fact a spoof of the sequence from the DIY SOS team.

Is this the first time an actual ident from the set has been picked out for a mickey take?

Slightly OT, But I must say, Paul, I do like your "500 Miles of BBC ONE Idents" track - although there are one or two places where the ident music clashes badly with the music track.. otherwise it's very good!"

Indeed, I was just saying that to him now.
