Does ITV1's christmas pres launch today?


Its supposed to. I'm guessing it will launch before X Factor tonight.


Looks like the best bet is to watch before The X Factor or Bieber for the ITV pres, and before Strictly Come Dancing for BBC1.

The helper characters have started popping up on trails:

I'd have thought that they would have adapted the end board a bit more in keeping with the text Santa trailers. Hopefully the idents won't be the usual with the helpers on them.

As for ITV2, no ident yet, but with that sort of trailer end board design, hopefully there will be.

I don't understand why ITV1 don't use the endboards to their advantage more. They could have some nice programme/theme centric background, but instead most of the time its just generic.

Don't get too excited then!

So, they hired Lambie-Nairn to devise a series of characters and an elaborate trail but just thought they'd overlay the helpers on the regular idents?

Wow, please tell me the beach ident is included in this. Laughing

The characters appear in a promo campaign leading up to the show, the title sequence and the on-screen graphics for the show itself. The characters will also infiltrate the ITV1 channel identity in December, always finding ways to play with the logo.

It's ambiguous. Anyway - a Daybreak trailer...

The clue is the word "infiltrate"!

I know. It will be a shame after last year's effort if it's nothing more than a few animated characters over the current set.

That's very disapointing then - though ITV could save it by using these up until Christmas then bringing out their old idents from Christmas Eve.

Good to here BBC2 is finally getting something new.

Likely to start at 19:00?

Couldn't ITV reuse last years ident, which was quite nice IMO, and still use the characters within the ident aswell?
