BBC TWO - Ident Morris Full 16/05/05 into Ceefax

Just on:

BBC TWO - Morris 16/05/05 Close

Check Dean Lydiate's reference to the ident: "So (the 2's) even do dancing these days..."

Oh, I forgot about this, any unusual tunes on Ceefax tonight, or was it just one of the normal compilations?

Just reviewing my tape and at the start was that 10-minute segued track - and then a nice surprise at 01:54 - Bart made a comeback!

With thanks to Malcy B, here is the full track list from this morning sent to the Test Card Music group.

1.37.58. WHISTLE SONG RE-MIX. Fantastic Plastic Machine.
1.43.21. TEARS FOR THE WORLD or BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Depending on
whether you take it from Track Four on "Edge Of Blue" or
Track Nineteen on "Secret Crytal"). Robin Jap.
1.46.40. CONNEXIONS. Robin Jap.
1.52.01. BLUE BAR. Robin Jap. (second track from "Connexions").
1.54.37. BART. Ruby. ...1.59.58.

Aren't they Japanese? I seem to have it in my head that one of their tracks was used for the menus on a certain TBS Start-ups DVD, though I might be wrong. Really sad I missed this now, looks like it was an interesting selection.

I don't know, but I beleive the Whistle song remix is that 10-minute segued track - but they only played the shortened version today.

This is the track

Well I'm glad I bothered to set up both Network and NI - who went to News 24 at 12.25 with Paul Reid giving a nice announcement and also a full rendition of Morris Dancing. Top stuff! If only this could be the case every night...

NI Morris Dancing - 1.4mb

Asa

I can agree with you there - But I guess if that was the case, there would no longer be the pleasant surprise of an ident getting played in full, because it would be a nightly occurrence anyway...

There's another pages from ceefax sesh next sunday at 1.30am.

I noticed that it was a widescreen ident which then switched into 4:3 very quickly as the movie cut off. Are there actually 4:3 versions of the BBC2 idents like the BBC1 ones, because i've never seen one.

Just the ARC cutting the ratio early, shurley?

There aren't separate 4:3 versions of any of the BBC ONE or TWO idents.
