Do we know what BBC2's ident will be? I was thinking that we might have a view of Christmas type stuff and then it pulls back to show a frosted window with a 2 outline.

All we can hope is that it won't be a 2 at the top of a tree - again .

That was actually an okay one from 1999.

TBH I hope Two forget about the Window theme for Christmas and if recent special idents are to go by, this will surely be the case.

Personally I would like the 2 to be an actual object and the most prominent feature of the ident, ala 'Heroes' and 'Electric Proms'.

No people running around with painted on emotions, just a good shot of that famous 2 please.

I agree wholeheartedly on that one. We'll find out in about 40 minutes, but because BBC1 are running ten minutes later than billed we'll have both idents revealed at the same time!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!

I loved this wicked little character!

He was designed by Alchemy 3D creations and if you search you may still be able to find a pic of the raw model.

It wouldn't be Christmas on UTV without something from a past presentation style in the mix, would it? Smile

Has the IVC backdrop been tweaked yet, or does it look like it's being held back until next weekend?

Yeah, but that was IMO the only decent 2 at the top of a tree. I must be alone in thinking that the 1993 one was a bit rubbish, over-the-top and not especially Christmassy.

'How did we get those penguins to do that?' Laughing

BBC2's is very nice, much more classic and stylish than the last couple of years

Hmm... for some reason BBC2's ident reminds me of Tolkein, but it's very good. I like it.

I was tempted to go 'aww, they're so cute !' at the penguins... Great announcement from Duncan there.
