BBC One Christmas 2019

Exactly how many straws are you clutching at there?

SO MANY OF THEM!!!
I've lost count

I hope they’re not plastic ones.

The trick is not to get your hopes up so if they do return to Oneness (which they inevitably will) there's no disappointment.

I agree with every word, ethan05.

This is the third Christmas in a row when several posters on TV Forum have hoped for an end to Oneness in January. I can't say I blame them, to be honest!! However, BBC One will ditch Oneness when they're good and ready. It'll be a good while before they are.

Maybe if we are lucky the Beeb will go the extra mile and replace the Oneness animation with OneLife (whilst keeping the existing idents as they are just so good).

Well I do think Oneness has ran it's course, nearly 4 years and everything. I mean, they already have Reith running on BBC Two so I'm expecting a slight presentation refresh (although BBC One's main font is similar to Reith a little too much) on promoboards/trailers but that's really it tbh. If anything, BBC may end up surprising us in the same way they did with BBC Two.

The Sunday Politics aren't always pre records.

More likely they just sent out the ident to use from today and so someone used it!

And I bet that same person can't wait until Christmas morning to open their prezzies either!!

That's ethan h 05 to you thanks.

Divert your hopes to a new ITV look if I were you. That's what I'm doing anyway.

Sad reality - it'll come back for a third year.

Not that it really matters

Nobody here is not looking at that spoiler!


Almost all major presentation elements are now released online ahead of their broadcast - we've gone a whole year with #ITVCreates and not once has someone complained the video wasn't in spoiler tags.

The ad and the presentation are two different things - I quite like the ad being a bit more real than normal rather than trying to present a perfect Christmas. Have to see the idents as a collective to really pass judgement - from the two we've glimpsed so far I'd say better than Oneness (what isn't?) but hardly a classic.
