Still prefer the Elves in the proper BBC Two teal (somebody remind me what the specific shade is called...).

"Deep aqua", I believe.

Out of curiosity is 30 seconds the full run time of the idents or are they longer at all? I'd love it if that music went on for longer as it's so fab Smile

Oh how lovely it is to have an endcap/pointer that isn't in a sickly neon. Great to see some personality, character and creativity back to the pres of BBC Two. More of this would be fantastic.

Brilliant. I love how the different ones take a different path down the created town scene.

How many different animation techniques are used in these idents?

Bit late to the party but they're just wonderful. All the elements that made the early 90s Idents so special but in a whole new way. Loved the gremlins but this is great, the whole package (next/endboards) really nicely done.

I love them. Best ident of the main channels, just wish we could have some new idents for the New Year.

You're right. They work because they evoke the funny/playful/inventive nature of those nineties era idents & stings.
