One thing is clear to this old fogey, it's started far too early again, what's so wrong with not starting idents (and jazzing up captions - Sky Sports please note) until Christmas Eve (adjusted for weekends) The local start for all this this year would have been Saturday 22nd December.

Bah Humbug.

Because that's far too late. All of the Christmas idents started well after the start of Advent (2nd December), so I find the supposedly early start to be acceptable (and so does the Christian Bible).

Well, no, not the Bible. Advent is a very different liturgical season to Christmas.

But that's going very off-topic, so I shan't continue.

Yes, I believe he is. He doesn't post here much.

Advent is the time where it is permitted, in the Bible, to make preparations for Christmas. That includes putting up decorations, possibly in the form of idents.

That's two of us, three if you include my wife, five if you include my parents.

18:00hrs on Dec 24th for Christmas idents is early enough for me, and their last appearance should be at close down on Boxing Day, just like the 1970s and 80s.

Your screen might be, but mine certainly won't.
