Was Kebab designated for light hearted programming when it was originally launched? I don't see the connection between comedy and spinning meat.

Coming back from a night out, rolling into the kebab shop and putting something funny/seems funnier than usual on TV, I would suggest is the rationale. Just as Silk isn't solely reserved for serious programming, it did and does pop up elsewhere too.


It wouldn't have been my first choice of ident to bring back, especially as part of a limited set. Next to its 2000 set siblings, Catalyst, Excalibur and Wave are all more visually arresting and pleasing, whilst they're already spoilt for choice in terms of suitably lighthearted idents for comedy (Car, Dog, Woodpecker, Zapper).

I remember very clearly it originally being used in the old Comedy Zone, all 3 (?) versions being used as the evening went on. Totally fits with the idea at the time of BBC Two and Channel 4 comedy being a Friday night post-pub thing (even though on Two it was 2100-2230).

NI instead played Optics, while Wales used Swan instead.

I don't suppose you were able to react quickly enough to capture it via BBC2 Scotland?

Black and British - A Forgotten History concludes the season - as for the nations it really does depend on what they choose to show.
