Absolutely. The original BBC One Helicopters ident music was absolutely beautiful - that choral solo was haunting and cinematic with a bleakness appropriate to a remote lighthouse.
What replaced it was so mundane, it might as well have accompanied footage of an EasyJet flight touching down at Luton.
The BBC1 Circle idents were excellent until they butchered them and gave them horrible new music. BUT! The updated Helicopter ident had a great bit of music. It mimicked rotor blades and it became even better at the end. Lovely stuff!
I very much agree Spencer. For me the current ITV idents would be awful without the variations of the tune to accompany them. In my opinion both the BBC One 2009 refresh (the ones that were altered) and Channel 4’s original 80s idents felt different when the music was changed.
