Yes Acrobats is back in Yorkshire but strangely Lincs and E Yorks were still using Tai Chi. Both regions have still got the very long announcements pointing out the DSAT numbers by the way

Well considering way back on page 8 Robert Williams gave the names of the three acrobats in the ident, I'd say your source is wrong:

Ah...my source is an insider so they should know! I will investigate further.

FURTHER UPDATE: Acrobats has now been permanently withdrawn, my source has confirmed. The deceased did appear in the ident after all.

We had Acrobats into the Six and Midlands Today. Maybe it hasn't gone after all.

Apologies if this has been mentioned in the thread already.

It will be interesting to see if the BBC repeat last Christmas' edition of French and Saunders in which they spoof the opening titles of the ident. Both F+S go from the ceililng and tumbled to the floor in a thud.

I am - nobody died! God knows where Simon got his information from, but my Beeb e-mail says specifically nobody died, and also says the ident is okay to be played again.

If nobody died, then why was there a news story about it on BBC NEWS Online?

He means with respect to the ident. No-one's denying an acrobat died - what's at issue is whether it has anything to do with the Acrobats ident.

The ident seems to have been temporarily withdrawn - and it seems that it was due to the death with regards to taste and respect, but not a result of one of the idents acrobats dying themselves.

Correct. The acrobats in the ident were colleagues of the acrobat who died, so the ident has been temporarily withdrawn - as I said some time ago Rolling Eyes
