I don't know if anyone else has seen this, or if it has been used before, but at about 6 O'clock last sunday morning, I wasn't sleeping well, so I put the TV on BBC 2, and I saw an excellent trailer for BBC Four's upcoming programmes. I'll give you the best description I can- It started off with the usual "Battenberg" menu, then the Black box fell off the menu, and into a glass of water, and started fizzing like an alka-skeltzer, the logo turned round, and the back of it was a screen, it then started showing the trailer as a full screen, and at the end it showed the logo still in the water fizzing, and the V/O said something like "great winter TV from BBC Four." Then Cbeebies came on. Sorry about the sketchy description but I was half asleep at the time, did anyone else see this, and did anyone get any caps?

Isn't it more of a reference to a post NYE hangover cure, than a refreshing drink?

That's right - The line at the end of the trail does say "Your cure for the January blues".

Best BBC FOUR trail I've seen yet, for its use of the logo.

Yes, it is very clever and quite nice. I hope Auntie gives us some more themed BBC4 trails...

Well I know what its real meaning is, but it still reminds me of summer when I see it.
