Totally agree Barney! Bah Humbug!
I love it and the music is fab - it's all a bit of festive fun! Get into the spirit guys who cares about the choreography, the shade of green on the holly, the fact that the girls furry boots are whiter than the boys on her right, that two darlings collide to the right of the screen at one point. It's Christmas so enjoy!
Now Steve or Dan how about a lovely MP3 of the music

The first time I saw it I had to keep playing the same 2seconds in a loop, because I was sure I saw two of them colliding. I just assumed perhaps one went in front of the other or something, until further inspection confirmed my initial suspicions.
Phew, my stories get more interesting by the second.

and then there's the bit where one lad falls off his pudding and is squashed by the fat girl who bounces on him - then there's another ident where a mass brawl takes place it's like a major pillow fight where the kids are standing and walloping each other over the head - or did that just go out on BBC ONE NI?

Oh and forgot the one where the puddings are dangling on string and the kids are playing a game of giant conkers - I should have won that BP comp!!!!!

I love the BBC1 Christmas Idents. They're jolly, festive, camp, and extremely schmaltzy! Everything Christmas is supposed to be!
If BBC1 had used last year's again we'd all be complaining how mean they are! They have done new ones this year (albeit similar in style but nevertheless new!) and we are still moaning!
ITV will produce more P***poor idents like last year (even though everyone here said how fantastic they were which really is laughable because they were the usual celeb idents with some snowflakes added) and again everyone will say "Oh havn't ITV1 made a fantastic effort this year!" The answer is err, no!! They have some weird characters that to me have nothing to do with Christmas and actually look quite cheap!
Their best effort was the 2001 Christmas Eskimo ident.
Just enjoy the idents on BBC1 and have a merry Christmas! At least BBC1 have made the effort.
With reference to the news ident, why are we all worrying about its suitability to introduce news or serious programmes? Let's face it, unless anything major happens (heaven forbid) that's not really a problem either. If something major happens then the ident wouldn't be shown anyway. Christmas is a time for jollity, colour and festive fun. The BBC1 ident portrays all that.

You seem to be forgetting the graphical ident!
The spike things do look cheap, but the characters themselves don't, IMO.
Indeed they have - and I do personally like the puddings - but I'm sure that ITV won't disappoint...

blackcat, I thought the graphical ident was a copout too! The usual ITV1 logo with some snowflakes added. Not really an imaginative effort. The snowflake kids on BBC1 were far superior even though it was a re-use. Sorry, but I just thought ITV1's Christmas package last year was unimaginative.
The characters this year are just as cheap looking in my opinion. Sorry!
However, the scrooges of the year thus far, are NOT ITV1 as they have created new festive images, it is of course, BBC2.
