I wonder how the end boards will look for promos. I'll be on here in work hitting refresh every 2 minutes waiting on updates!

Here's how the '2' has been said goodbye to in 2001 and 2007. It's just this time around it looks like it's goodbye forever!

Not to be pedantic, but I'd always consider NI's farewell in 2007 to be the real farewell of the 'Personality' 2's.

Whatever happens tomorrow, the majority of people watching won't care

For Christmas I’m imagining ice skaters and oddly shaped advent calendar doors... the whole thing will be very interesting.

Is it true that some members of the "community" considered "if this is your thing" an insult before the 01-07 tribute? I think TV Ark had it noted next to the clip on their website. Talk about overreacting!

Juicy Joe- BBC2 will say goodbye to the 2 but you'll need to stay up really late tonight (Wed 26th)


Announcer Duncan - do you know what time thereabouts as I've got work tomorrow? Very Happy

The preview is on Sky+HD boxes as well as SkyQ. Can't seem to get the sound any louder. Mad

You still have traces of the "2" even if not in a blatant manner (starting with the fact that the curves split the graphics in two parts)

Very interesting

Yes, there was a bit of a nasty reaction to that entirely harmless line.

Anyway, my feeling about this news is the same as most, I think - while it's a shame to see the end of that classic '2' which was so exciting when it launched nearly 28 years ago, it's good to see the channel getting a bit of love again and what we've seen so far looks really promising.

Have to agree with whoever said it reminds them of this, though...

It’s great to see BBC Two finally getting the rebrand it needs. The idents based on the ‘2’ are effective, but they certainly show their age.

From what we’ve seen so far, the rebrand looks vibrant and fresh, but without going too far as to put off the older audience.

To be fair, all of the BBC national radio stations has a similar 'partial numeral' style during 1991-1995. It wasn't specific to Radio 2, although 'less partial' for Radios 1 & 4.
