BBC Two 2018 Revamp

I now transport all of you back to 2001, look closely, you'll see someone and something familiar:

It's not the clip of Asa on Liquid News again, is it?

I was looking through some archive clips of Liquid News and it came up

And a set that looks surprisingly similar to what got installed in Millbank a number of years later. (I think one of the regions got the actual Liquid News set - I want to say Bristol)

The late, great Christopher Price.

I don't know about the Liquid News set but I know Bristol got the old BBC Three news set in 2004.

Yep - that's a common misconception about the Liquid News set and Bristol. They actually got the old BBC Three News set instead. (It had smaller holes for cheaper plasmas - they got the set, but not the screens ISTR)

As for the Millbank set. Thereby hangs a tale...

How cool would it be if BBC Two had a 'Netflix on Two' section where Netflix exclusive films and series (e.g Stranger Things, Haunting of Hill House, Black Mirror etc.) were shown weekly whilst the series is released all at once on Netflix. It would be a partnership that both the BBC and Netflix could benefit from as people who don't have Netflix could watch the content on BBC Two which in turn would increase viewing figures, whilst encouraging others who are impatient and can afford it, to give Netflix a go.

Although there is probably a whole plethora of reasons why it couldn't happen!

You can't leave it there!

How did they find Maverick out in the wild? Complete and with no logo.

They just keep getting better and better.

Is it Christmas?
