Also did anyone see the Ident into the rememberence coverage. This time last year Ballet was used (which unless it was this year, would have been its last airing)?


I missed the start unfortunately. Has Ballet definitely been withdrawn? If so, why? If it has, then the most sombre of the idents now is Skateboarders - perhaps that was used?


It's only used in 'times of reflection'.


which is exactly what this day is! Someone must know if it was aired!

Ballet has been used on BBC One in the North West and Yorkshire and Lincolnshire at lunchtime to precced Your Stories or Digital Storytelling or whatever it is. But the announcement on the ident isn't live and looks poor on screen. Though it is still used.

Did anyone else notice David's faux pas on yesterdays's cenotaph coverage? While talking about a Chief Constable he managed to say "Chief C*nt" but quickly recovered. Almost as good as John Draper's on ITV NC recently when he referred to "unsuspecting c*nts" rather than customers!
