Ok, so what else are we guessing for idents this Christmas?

Dodgems? Seagulls?
Wait a minute, they might actually happen

Seagull stealing chips. Surely.

Guess BBC Two wins this year’s best Christmas ident, judging from the responses.

The film has a lovely story, shot incredibly well with the great effect of the world standing still was the mother and son reconnect. The sentimental angle has been used to great effect and it works very well as a short film...

However the idents have been neglected as an after thought. I suppose the hope these days is that the film becomes a viral hit so that the small connection to it that is featured in the idents will be enough to connect the main brand before the programmes to the film.

With all due respect guys, we do take this a little seriously.

Watching it with my family and they all said "Wasn't that lovely".

That's the audience they're going for. Not us.

BBC1 just needs to get back to putting robins on turntables in between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day instead of this sentimental bull Smile

Are you completely ignoring what I said?
Write your sentences normally. You type like you're texting someone, like I dunno, your girlfriend which you probably don't have.

Well debatable BBC1 just needs to get back to putting a globe on a turntable and distorting the background with a mirror. Then we would be in TV Forum bliss (otherwise known as about 1983)

Upscaled SD? You're kidding, BBC One? That image is awful on HD.

The movie has a good story and I feel it is nice that BBC one has gone with this John Lewis technique again after last year's brilliance however I may say that last year wins but I need to give this year's more time.

However, I actually like the ident for some reason. Compared to the film, it is very christmassy and calm, and it shows a good view of Cromer pier, which looks really nice. The main reason I like it was that it reminds me of the BBC Balloon idents from the 1990s as it features the parts of the Country.
