I have to say, the news ident is my favourite overall. I am enjoying this package. Not the best BBC One has ever had, but equally not the worst. Thumbs up Smile
Custard56, ToasterMan and Newsroom24 gave kudos

Now that's a lovely, (almost) silent ident to go into the news.

BBC ONE NI aired a variant with 'Symphony' in the background.

Because music is the best way to start the news! Confused

I really like this package.

Clearly a lot of effort and time has gone into producing it, unlike some previous years. The news ident is rather splendid, I like the subtlety and sombre tone used for it, and the colour palette is perfect.

Only thing annoying me is the 'BBC One' logotype, but as it stands I'm not sure how they could do much better (as I touched on earlier in the thread, maybe remove the BBC One legend entirely or have a subtle hint at it picked out in the 'live' action)

Yeah the BBC One Northern Ireland version has some actual music over it. Although it's still nicely calm, leading to something better than the silent variant on network and Scotland.

Huh, a bit odd - Scotland and Wales had no music but NI did.

I disagree with those saying it’s the best set since 2014. If this is a high standard, I find that quite sad. The BBC doesn’t need to compete with John Lewis.

Sorry, don’t like them.

This is exactly how I thought it should be done as I said in my post on page 37, so much nicer with the non-lyrical music added on, well done yet again NI on doing pres right.

My usual Scrooge comment ....

What is wrong with starting Christmas Presentation at 5pm on Christmas Eve, like the 'good old days'?

They never used to be around long enough. Then there was The really horrible period in 89/90 where there didn’t turn up well into the evening on Christmas Eve on BBC1. I would prefer them appearing a week before Christmas as it doesn’t feel very Christmassy having them introduce Panorama.

It was always ridiculous going back to the boring normal globe on the 27th December.

As is blantently obvious these days it's a promotional tool first, ident second, so that'll be why the ident so launch at the same time as the promotions.

Was horrible when they were only on for 3 days. I think launching a week before Christmas then up to and including New Year's Day is the way to go.

Your return is the best thing that happened to TV Forum this year.

Mods disagree. I have been warned!


What a pity this forum is still run in the same childish way it always was.

See ya, chaps.

I prefer the ident with the music in the background to make it a bit less ominous heading into the news, though a loop of the version without music would be great filler for in the background when One HD can’t broadcast the local news
