I have been looking on TV Room, and found some very nice idents that you lucky people in England (not sure about Scotland) get to see.

Here are the BBC One idents that are NEVER shown in Wales:

No wonder I'm bored with the same Idents shown on BBC 1 Wales! Smile

Yep It's the same in scotland half the idents you never see. But some you see ALL the time. What is strange is that the ident shot over the Armadillo building and the ident shot over Edinburgh City Center are Never shown.

Actually the symbol with the Armadillo is shown in Wales. It's not shown in Scotland of all places.

There was never an ident shot over Edinburgh City Centre, it was a three second animation.

Why is that?

It should be shown in Scotland, personally I think its one of the bset idents as the setting and mood are just right.

Though these are idents that are shown in Scotland that shouldnt be as they are boring!
Generally the scottish idents have too many hills and lakes and old castles they should have a some modern idents over Glasgow or Edinburgh

I heard in a chatroom was that the reason was it wasn't realistic. No-one ever rows up the river....

No-one ever goes to the Giant's Causeway to find it completely empty and no American tourists getting into your shot but thats the way the BBC portrayed it in this ident

This one was shown at 5.35 just before Neighbours on BBC 1 Wales.

I love the sparkly/bubbly music at the very start of this ident! Wink
