Wonder what programme it could air before?

Good question. Punchy suggests it's serious but it looks like it could be like Neon party lights. I think BBC2 needs another ident for serious programming that is neutral like Authorative and Reflective. Means things like Charged into a documentary on Lord Mountbatten, who was killed by the IRA with a bomb on his boat, won't happen.

I suppose the neon ties into the new newsnight branding.

And now we hopefully won't have to wait another year for Punchy to arrive! Very Happy

Did anyone else go to the TV Home homepage and wonder if this was a new BBC Two ident…

I'd say all of us of a certain age thought of that ident.

Another great ident from BBC Two. They just don't stop coming, do they?

Indeed. It's also a little reminiscent of the 1981 BBC News titles.

That makes me want to smack the top of my TV, even though we're digital now, and it's not even a CRT. Smile

Not the biggest fan of this one but do like the retro throwback. And of course even the worst curve is far superior to any Oneness ident. I was going to say the greatest Oneness ident, but it's a set where it is impossible to bestow greatness upon any if them.
