I think the Circles will return on Jan 1st. Just a hunch.


Be prepared for a disappointment come Jan 1st.

Even a variety of older BBC Two Christmas idents would suffice, not the same ones we've seen for the last 2 years- there are plenty to choose from. And let's hear them with their ORIGINAL soundtracks. The 1990s ones were particularly memorable and would still fit in with the ongoing retro branding.


The selection is much more limited than you think. Some would be nigh on impossible to modify into widescreen.

I doubt it Wicko. January 1st and it'll be back to Oneness.


Exercise Class and swimmers to make a welcome return! How excited we'll all be!


Swimmers hasn't gone anywhere. NI use it from time to time.

Do you envisage the return of Oneness then?

Well, if it does return, I hope they revamp their entire on screen presentation and make it consistent so that it gives it a bit of a fresh look. The idents aside, the entire presentation package needs reviewing.

Here's a clue.


The song is Clean Bandit's Symphony isn't it? Interesting if they use it in their idents.

Yes, that would be very interesting.

If it was to return could they not edit the stings and ident footage into a montage for each 'scene' to music and then introduce the logo full screen with a lovely animating background, in a similar way to the STV idents?

Will the reveal of the Christmas idents be airing before or after Strictly I wonder?

Probably before, which means we've seen the last of the Strictly ident for this year.

No, to my mind it makes sense to introduce them after a huge show like strictly, and if I'm not mistaken I seem to remember they do tend to introduce them immedately after the big Saturday evening show.

When they have launched on a Saturday, they have launched to introduce Strictly, with the exception of 2014 when they launched to introduce Atlantis. However, due to their being a decent Strctly ident, I think, and 'm, likely wrong, they'll use the junction into McIntyre to launch them.
