The ident used ahead of the recreated menus looks to be quite genuine when compared to the remade 'fly-in' version.
I think that one actually
is
the original version. I presume as the blocks just spin around and don't cross the edge of the 4:3 frame, there was no need to remake it for 16:9.

Spot on. I think it's great that the real thing was implemented somewhere - using all recreations would have been a shame; you just can't beat authenticity.
Also good to see C4 still like to choose the occasional programme-matching identity - the Alien symbol was fittingly shown before

One of the my favourite from series 6, Dan and Roseanne high!
They have replaced the epiosde of The Golden Girls that was due to go out tomorrow at 9pm with Friends - The One With The Free Porn (Series 4, episode 17). They've just put out a trailer promoting this as part of the Channel 4 at 25 season. Ties in quite good for E4 though who are at this point in the series but cannot show this episode during the 5/8pm slot.
