The BBC2 overnight filler has been updated. I only caught the final few minutes early this morning, but I captured their clean audio playout of Optics, where they have chosen to show the final 12 seconds of it. Will look at the whole loop tomorrow morning. I take it, all the programme excerpts will have been updated, but I'm obviously more interested to see if there's anything new pres-wise. They may well have added Garden (ver.1) as well. Will capture the whole loop tomorrow to see.

The entire loop spans one hour - with the idents introducing snippets of BBC TWO programmes show either at the beginning or end.

As far as it is, most of the current idents popped up in the loop. Haven't seen the likes of Kebab or Garden yet.

I'm not quite clear. Are you saying you've seen some of the clean audio idents they use in this new loop, and some of them are played out at their tail ends (as per Optics) ?

Yep - some idents are played out in the beginning, some towards the end.

That's what I was hoping you meant Smile

I'm not going to be able to resist setting the alarm for 3.15am and witnessing this while capturing. If only Network used Aerial. I love the chaotic-sounding ending.

Spotted a little breakdown last night at around 9:40 during the Glastonbury coverage. The picture was badly breaking up during Stormzy's set and eventually the feed failed altogether.

Breakdown caption on BBC Two HD had the Silk background and was on air for 30-40 seconds.

I'm surprised they didn't pull the feed sooner, it was practically unwatchable.

The material gained via the updated filler (along with material I already captured previously) has enabled the creation of a couple of full length copies:

A couple of observations with the idents used in the updated filler. Silk is shown with incorrect proportions (again), and there's a seemingly random usage of Subtitles and No Subtitles versions.
