Not seen it mentioned here so it's not an obvious issue but ***cough*** The Sun ***cough*** today trying to get a little bit of outrage going for the BBC using the helicopter ident at least twice over the weekend into the news where the top story was the helicopter fatalities up in Scotland.


Coincidentally, the Kites ident was played before the 10 today

Did someone forget to announce a content warning on the lead in to New Tricks? A strap has just popped up four minutes to declare that "This programme contains scenes of a sexual nature" - just as the leads are watching - in the course of an investigation, of course - a (off-screen) porn tape.


Did the subtitles contain the content warning too? It usually appears right at the beginning of the programme if there is no dialogue straight away. It would back up the theory that the CA forgot/didn't know. What did other nations do?

Dear The Sun,

Perhaps some kind of Broadcasting House ident for the news would be an idea.

How about something most of us use everyday, like a clock?

Oh wait someone might complain to the DM that the clock is wrong when viewing on a PVR that's been paused and then played

To be fair it did get a little more racey as the programme went on... but I did think it was a little overly cautious. Whatever happened to letting people make their own mind up as to whether they should be outraged by what they see/hear?

I'm not sure it's always going to be the neutral location that it seems it is 99.9% of the time. Sometimes the BBC itself is the news. The only way to make a completely neutral ident is to use graphics. Although make sure they are black and white so as not to show support for one political party over others.

It would be "wrong" on live broadcasts anyway (seconds, but still) because of the delays inherent (or useful) in digital broadcasting.

Why not run the clock two secs faster?

The delay would differ depending on the platform.

I certainly don't go round the house making sure every clock is in sync to the second.

And that attitude is why you will never be the controller of BBC One.
