Hints to BBC One’s Christmas presentation doesn’t seem to show this time, compared to previous years!

In terms of programming, Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen and McMafia will do it for me.


BIB- Yes, it looks like they're keeping the Christmas presentation close to their chest this year. Either to build up to a Onederful Christmas gift- or a Onefulness load of giblets. My money's on the latter, sadly.

I'm getting 2012 presentation vibes from this theme.

Looks like the infamous red curtain hasn't been ironed for the last 5 years Wink

Oh oh..
I see theatrical curtains, there (and a mish-mash of typefaces)

Idents start with the curtains opening up to reveal a differing cast of local am-dram actors in costumes from the various pantos, maybe?

At risk of wild speculating they will be showing a Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, albeit that's only recorded next week. That said it could just be something hastily created for social media before the main Christmas TV presentation is ready.

Maybe it's a pantomime theme. Didn't someone say they will make us dance?

The era of great Christmas idents on the BBC.

That made me laugh! In all seriousness though, ifvthey did have to re-use an ident package, and I'm not saying they have, why use 2012's? Why nor 2010's?

I don't think anything behind the curtain can be worse than never opening the curtain in the first place.

Just seen a Twitter comment from Duncan Newmarch.

The Christmas idents are launching on Saturday December 2nd. I don't know which junction yet.
