BBC2 Christmas 2017 Idents

The theme used in that Christmas 2011 ident has been reused from that of one of the Personality '2' Christmas idents that were aired last year.

I'd wait to see the rest before judging on that.

At least we got the coco clock sting. So its all good.

Not to mention that they are using a different ident from the 2011 set as well.

Isn't it the 2013 edit of Laughing Snowman with solid clouds (not fluffy ones from 2011) with 2016's Turkeys' soundtrack?

This is getting complicated.

Okay.

Ugh couldn't they just go back to these:




It wasn't broken and didn't need fixing.

Laughably terrible. What a state.


They've broken the charm for a cheap gag, three years running. That's bordering on insanity.

Have their rights to use the original soundtrack ran out or something? Is that the reason for these poor replacements?

May have already been mentioned somewhere, but great to see the NI versions of the main idents now have the logo boxless and centralized. Good move.

I'm assuming that they've ditched the retro idents - all of the idents so far have been different variants of the 2011 idents with the music used for the 2000-02 idents last year.

NI, fortunately, have retained the festive 90s idents.

That’s a relief. That’s why BBC Two NI are the best.

Such a shame to see the 2011 idents without the original music. Quite how anyone can think those sung versions are better than what was bespoke produced for each ident is beyond me. Surely a rights issue?!
