Or will it mean a song that gets very annoying after its second listen?

Provisionally, for the first time since 2004, NO animated film following The Queen. Instead the movie premiere of the live action version of Cinderella. Maleficent currently scheduled for New Year's Day.

If you loved the Sainsbury's Christmas ad from last year, BBC One won't disappoint this Christmas.........


Well the 2016 Sainsbury's campaign was pretty good- so this does sound quite promising!

BlipTheMerciless, do you happen to know what BBC Two are doing this year in terms of their Christmas presentation?

BBC2 similar to last year I believe. To answer earlier question, yes, Sainsbury's from last year. Alas, a far smaller budget.

Run retro idents fine, it'd match their regular pres. But they should use the original soundtracks, not that nonsense we've had for the last couple of years. Sad

Latest information looks promising for BBC One. Stop-motion animation could be great for this year’s idents - we’ll find out on Saturday. But it also means it could be a whole different concept to that of Oneness - which was raw live-action footage.

Two - unsurprisingly we’re getting the same as last year. Ding Dong on Merrilly High anyone?

Will capture BBC One’s Christmas idents on Saturday night.

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

Come on now, who'd ever forget this masterpiece? Shocked

Hate to say it but, don't set your expectations too high.

I’d like to ask, is it connected to the either the Circle or Oneness theme, or is it an entirely different concept?

I recall Duncan Newmarch saying similar prior to the 2013 Christmas idents being launched. A lot of people thought they were bland, however I quite liked them myself. Having said that, it didn't take too much effort to improve upon the 2012 ones!

They just aired a bumper before The Apprentice teasing 2nd December. Think animated story.
