Some lovely colour-cycling on BBC HD just before Doctors this afternoon:

Fading alternately between blue and yellow-green.

Yet they do not fix the shading near the box! Lazy mares... But then again, this is BBC2 we're talking about!

It's almost like they know we thought it looked hideous and are now just twisting the knife Laughing

Do you reckon they're putting this awful pres out on purpose for us to develop a hatred for the 2 symbol? It probably then gives them an excuse to completely start afresh on the next rebrand with minimal backlash for ditching a beloved symbol.

I don't think my eyes can take much more of this. This is definitely the worst pres BBC2 have had since the TWO in the 80's, and I think I'd much prefer to see that resurrect on our screens then carry on with this c**p!

My Freeview EPG seems to suggest BBC HD will become BBC Two HD at 5:00.

It's difficult to believe the above was intentional. They've gone completely insane if so.

It's a daft move if it's true. The only tolerable thing in the whole of BBC Two's presentation is the 2 symbol itself.

A nice little touch to close BBC HD - all the idents shown one after the other. Then into the colour-changing BBC TWO message and some music...

Oh so it was (on screen now); why am I surprised?

Anyway, nice classic eve-of-rebrand style montage of the outgoing BBC HD idents (full versions) leading into this testcard thing.

Well, the 20 second cuts of the full versions - ie the full form-up, just not the extra 15-20 seconds holding you could have had. Now that would have been luxury Wink
