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?
I reckon it almost certainly will be retired once "bang goes the theory" ends, same as has happened to the ashes to ashes ident.

I've seen it before The One Show as well. It seems to be the two junctions or so before Bang Goes the Theory. I'm also pretty certain it'll be retired at the end of the series.
BBC One Wales have just used the new edit of Penguins into the film "Cool Runnings". It's the first time I've seen it in Wales, though I might have missed it before now. Has anyone seen it on Network yet?
I thought the Neon ident was exclusive to Saturday nights, but network just used it into EastEnders.
So did BBC Wales. They've used it outside of Saturday nights for a while - the first mention of it on here was in May.
On another note, the new Strictly trails have a ridiculously small picture of a BBC Online search box containing the word "Strictly" at the bottom of the endboard. Surely putting "bbc.co.uk/strictly" would be a bit clearer?
Many adverts are doing that now. "Search online for ....." instead of giving their URL. I can't think why they'd do that, especially as the viewer could come across a competitive product while searching for theirs.
So the BBC obviously think it's just the cool thing to do cos all the adverts are doing it

If a company has put that it usually means they've paid the major search engines to have their site come up as the number one hit as the sponsored link when someone types in that phrase.
Presumably it's because a lot of products, like films for example, have weird urls like www. newfilm-themovie-uk. org that are stupidly hard to remember, usually because someone else has the preferred URL. I agree it's a bit daft though, as telling people to search for so and so online. Makes it seem like they can't be bothered telling you the proper website.

Lots of American programmes did something similar in the late 90's in the form of 'AOL keywords'.
I suppose now that there's a single browser that virtually everyone uses it's more predictable, mind you I know lots of people who never use their address bar and type all URLs straight into Google so it doesn't make much difference to them
The marketing bods (not the BBC in particular - this is from a trade magazine for marketing people which was lying around the office at work) have decided that people ignore website addresses when they are shown them now, as they see so many people have learnt to block them out. Therefore, instead of coming up with a catchy website address which stands out, or one that is easy to remember, we have to be told to "Search for" instead to get their content.
How they think having "Search for more4" on the more4 boards is more noticable / memorable than "more4.com" I don't know...
