Optics shown on NI to an extended length, before Bergerac (approx 32").

Silk! NI, let me count the ways.

BBC2 NI showed Diary, before 'Allo! 'Allo!

Another superb one! BBC NI's presentational efforts are truly fantastic. (I do hope they play it again at some point, though - it was a very short playout).

I do like the appropriate announcement.

Thanks so much for putting in the hard work Andrew.

The difference between an average and a great capture of Optics is really quite something.

The only remaining 'favourite' from the set for me is Steam.

This is an observation rather than a criticism (we're really being spoiled here and I'm grateful to all concerned) but I'm surprised that none of these idents - with the exception of the NI TWO - have a subtitles indicator. I realise it doesn't mean much these days as pretty much everything is subtitled, and that for some of the older idents it might be out of place to add it, but I would have thought that the 1997 and later idents would have it.

To be honest, I'm very glad they don't.

Haven't BBC NI dropped the 'Subtitles' tag on all idents full stop? Or am I confusing them with another nation?
