Happy Birthday BBC TWO

It's very easy to convert old idents into widescreen...

That's good, but try doing a moving one!

Yep, that would be ideal. It could also be cool if they got some widescreen versions made too...

LWT got Dave Jeffery to recreate their river ident for widescreen rather than bodge the original. The stripey 2 and the TWO would be quite easy to do in Flash I would imagine.

Note that some of Dave's work is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/tv/testcards/ but with a notable lack of BBC2 content

Or invisible walls but with the stripey two, TWO and the original one with the dot

BBC Two celebrates its 40th anniversary by taking a look at the people and programmes that have made the channel what it is today.
Integral to the evening are behind-the-scenes stories from the controllers and contributors who saw the channel through adversity, controversy, innovation and invention.The programme hears the stories behind such classic programmes as The Likely Lads, Arena,The Old Grey Whistle Test, I, Claudius, Boys From The Blackstuff, Not The Nine O'Clock News,Top Gear and Little Britain to name just a few, as well as some of the channel's less auspicious offerings, such as The Borgias.
The programme is punctuated by original sketches written and performed by the Dead Ringers team and dotted throughout the evening are the strange and wonderful letters from the readers of the Radio Times, who were moved enough by the channel to put pen to paper.

And yet again Steve wins today's star prize for most accurate prediction

Ooh! Can't wait!

It's not a bit though, it's a quarter of the picture, and that's a lot. I personally find it very hard not to notice. Especially being somewhat of an amatur film maker myself it makes me feel stronger about it and notice it more.
