BBC One

The BBC blocks animation one seems to be thrown out the window years ago. The generic BBC ident breaks it, BBC Productions breaks it.

Also, the BBC News Channel is how it is referred to when clarifying that it is the channel- that's nothing wrong or new.

The 'arts and current affairs programmes airing this week on the BBC' promotion pointer thing has been running for a few weeks now. I quite like it actually, it certainly doesn't make me want to kill myself .

The need to refer to the rolling news channel as 'the BBC NC' rather than 'BBC News' perfectly demonstrates the lunacy of dropping the '24' tag, but we've been down this road many times before.

I'm probably weeks out of date, but when did the BBC one logo start appearing at the bottom of the screen in trailers similar to how it did in the original Gill Sans look?

I'm sure it wasn't doing that when this set of idents launched.

Do you mean like this? I remember it being like that since it launched.

Likewise.

It was.

Just checking - did it start with this refresh of the current circle idents or did I somehow fail to register it all the way through the original circle idents?

It's done that since October 2006 when the idents launched and never changed. So somehow, it failed to register it seems.

nice to see the best of both there revised kites into BBC News update, followed by Original Kites into Bargin Hunt

I wish they'd just mix the short versions with the longer ones, it would mean more idents and more variety. Has the bicycles powering the lights ident been shown a lot? I've hardly seen it.

I've only seen it on a Monday night in the junctions preceding Bang Goes The Theory.

Apart from its launch before The Weakest Link its only been used to before bang goes the theory, as far as im aware, which I guess the question is once the series finshes will It be retired?
