BBC1 idents, usage

Balet been used recently (as in seen in other threads), but just before points of veiw acrobats was used. I don't recall seeing this much on the network before. Although its used all the time on east midlands links. Can anyone help?

I've noticed that certain idents are used for certain programming - so much so that sometimes you can work out what will be used. Below is a list of different programming normally used for certain idents.

Acrobats: News and Political Party Broadcasts
Ballet: Times of national reflection
Bollywood: Drama, soaps and other programming
Capoeira: News and serious programming
Festival: Music, quiz shows and children
Haka: Sport, Wildlife and modern murder mysteries (Eg. Spooks)
Hip Hop: Drama, soaps and other programming
Masai: Wildlife and fundraising
Music Video: Music, soaps and other programming
Salsa: DIY, daytime repeats and soaps
Skateboarders: News and current affairs
Tai Chi: News and religious programming
Tango: Drama, soaps and other programming
Tap Dogs: Drama, soaps and other programming
Tumbler: Sport and other programming

This might just be speculation on my part but I have noticed that if ever there is an announcement of 'This is BBC ONE' it most often seems to be Acrobats - perhaps being the default ident in case of problems...?

I've always assumed Capoeira was the "plain vanilla".

thanks, anyone know what the english regions have? East midlands seem to use, acrobats, Tai Chi and skateboards. Although acrobats used to be used all the time, it seemed.

I think every region has Acrobats, most Skateboarders and some Tai Chi or Capoeira. Most regions just have two idents or sometimes three. With me coming from Yorkshire I only know my local area:
BBC ONE Yorkshire: Skateboarders, Acrobats
BBC ONE Yorks & Lincs: Acrobats, Tai Chi

Tai Chi, Acrobats, Capoeira, Skateboards often show up before news here, with Tai Chi and Capoeira being used more for regional news than the other two.

The English Regions have up to four idents (Caoperia, Acrobats, Tai-Chi and Skateboard). Not all regions have all four. The Nations have the full set of course but still only use those four for news programmes.

I've seen more than 4 idents on North East And Cumbria before their local news.

Acrobats
Ballet
Capoeira
Festival
Salsa
Skateboarders
Haka

So NE uses alot of them
Not Sure about the other idents on NE & Cumbria.

It's actaually used to introduce nearly all links for al regions (although Skateboards is sometimes used)

really? I can only watch e.midlands, yorksire/lincs and london

Skateboarders is starting to be more common...

BBC1 SW: Tai Chi, Skateboarders, Capoeira, Acrobats. (I believe thats all)

BBC1 London : Same as above, I believe - but Skateboarders and Capoeira tend to be used most I think - Capoeira for obvious reasons)
