Well that looks like it was programmes into a computerised running order that thought Insert Name Here was on! OOF!

The fact that the schedule is played from a computer is irrelevant, what is in that schedule is still decided by a human.


As I say it would have been a very busy time in playout with lots of things being decided and changed, I'm not surprised it was missed

I assumed that once they looked at the line up of programmes for the day, which idents would be used were decided and ready to go at the touch of a button. Might explain why they hadn't changed fluffy to a more serious ident when Insert Name Here was dropped. Mind you, with Brexit turning into a never ending farce, BBC2 might as well use the funny idents before all Brexit programming! Very Happy

Haha, that would be a great middle finger to Brexit. I didn't want it to happen after all the stuff that happened in the years leading up to it.

If anyone actually did contact the BBC to complain about that, they probably need to reassess their priorities in life.

Trust me, those people exist. If we can be pedantic about presentation, so can many others who aren't on these kind of websites but do have Ofcom and other TV companies on their speed dial.


You mean like?

No, they're just in a playlist along with everything else: promo, promo, ident, programme etc. There's nothing particularly different about them, they're just another piece of video on a server

Imagine the slime was in the shape of the BBC 2 symbol and thrown at someones face in slow motion. That would have been an ident (probably shown before comedy programmes) that really would have got the public talking!

So we were talking about inconsistencies a week or so ago, and this gem pops up.

Have they really forgotten about their own corporate font?
Just 2 years after it was introduced?
