Unlike everyone else I actually waited until the ident was on television to see it for the same time. I don't think it's too bad at all, though anything's better than those awful idents with kids in silly costumes we've had to suffer for the past four years. However I'd like to know where this community actually is, it must be the only place in the country where it actually snows at Christmas! As for stings/bumpers/animations I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone, I never understood why they continued to use them only at Christmas.
I agree with the above - the best idents were with the BBC1 Globe. This christmas has no real distinction of christmas (apart from a few Christmas lights and bells in the music).
Its not creative.
So far, I've been rather dissapointed with Christmas pres on channels.
To be honest I always thought the BBC 1 Xmas Idents from 1991-1996 were the best.
I always said they should have kept that "1", at least it would have been some sort of symbol. I suppose at least though the current BBC one tag is some sort of symbol.
Haven't seen this years one yet so can't judge it yet but it don't look to bad
