I heard that May the 1st is going to be celebrated in years to come as Shutters Day Smile

I'm sorry, I hadn't realised that you had a monopoly on being sarcastic towards the original poster.

Pardon me for breathing. I expect a kick up the backside on the way out of the door.

I must apologise - i mis-read your post earlier and assumed you were implying that neither of the first two posts had known this ... Embarassed

Ayup, another hint then. Here's my revised prediction: trailer endboards will be tinted deep red, with text either middle right or upper left. And there will be a venetian blinds animation thing somewhere.

Basically, I don't know.

Or maybe the shutters will just come down and BBC1 will give up the ghost.


This almost sounds intriguing...

Not got a huge amount to with May 1st, but I was watching BBC1 NE & Cumbria yesterday and before the news they showed the ballet dancers. I thought they only used them for really sombre events (royal deaths and that). Does that apply to the news as well?

Are you related to David "Lightbulb" H by any chance?

Actually not a bad idea. Not original, but glam up the BBC stars in red outfits - beats the dancers anyday.

An idea for this year's CIN anyway!

There will be no new idents - apparently the current ones are here for a few more years...there are no plans for a news only type ident either.

Dan's kinda got it right with his shutter thing...might mean trails having a shutter style reveal of the end board. Looks nice - from what i've heard.

Also much more from con - with next/now/later stings in junctions and the live announcer doing the voice on ECPs to keep the voice consistent.

The idea is to give "BBC ONE a much fresher, younger and more contemporary feel".
