The Supermarket one is the worst of the batch, but I can see it being used into entertainment and comedy. Overall though, 9/10. Should have made more than 4 though, that's my only minor gripe.

Didn’t they only make 4 last year?

They did, but this year's package had so many other options available. The fourth could have been the little girl stood on the stage surrounded by the snowflake decorations.

It's a shame they didn't make idents out of the shopping centre escalator scene and the final dream sequence of the dad and daughter dancing together given they were what I found to be respectively the funniest and most powerful scenes of the whole promo.

Northern Ireland's playout of the Supermarket ident had a clean start to the music, the other nations all slightly glitched with network being the worst.

I much prefer the Northern Ireland News ident. The subtle music and twinkles sets the tone right rather than just the dull lull of ambient noise.

There was a no music version of the Consider Yourself Christmas news ident where it was just ambient noise. Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTXfVRH4zSs


Was that just used in Northern Ireland? This seemed to be used on Network:


The 2012 red curtain news ident and 2013 wrapping paper ident didn't have music though, just sparkle sound effects,

The 2016 and 2014 ones were my favourites of recent years, with this year and 2015 being being less good. This year might grow on me though.

Just a prediction based on nothing more than wishful thinking, but I won't be at all surprised if one or both of these turn up on Christmas Eve or Christmas day.

How do we know there are only four idents? There have only been four junctions so far.
