Monday Morning

ha ha, very funny, (no really it is!)

Has The Dykester got rid of the BBC Cleaning Dept. now, too?
He's ever so mean.

I heard that rumour as well... As far as I can tell I don't think she will just be dusting. There will be ironing, cooking, hoovering - it will vary depending what programme it precedes...

I don't think it is the begining of any end for the balloons, as there is a brand new Balloon ident being screened on 12th September.

The demise of the balloons as with the BBC 2 identities, will happen overnight without much warning. I like the BBC Balloons, although some of the newer soundtracks are a bit naff: Carnival, skateboarders, and a couple of others.

Jazz up the orignals a bit more, and add some new locations such as: balloon floating over deserted beach (theres plenty of deserted beaches near me).

Another balloon that already exists, but dosent get enough use on the main BBC 1 or BBC 1 Wales is the mystical Grey Abbey ident

But if the balloons were to be given the boot - any replacement idents would have to use real-life scenes such as the balloons did. The scenery used is great, and I've picked up this rather odd bug of whatever I'm doing or looking at I'm thinking 'how could that be used as an ident?'

sad i know


Perhaps I should stick to what i know best, and leave Lambie Nairn to to the brainwork and then collect its £500,000 fee!!

So could someone record it for me please?

Strengthening the BBC ONE Daily brand? Cor! I saw a bit of it last week and I thought 'I bet they'll scrap this Daily nonsense before long'. So it's quite the opposite, is it? And no new look CBBC around 7am on Monday, BBC2 then?

The CBBC look is so old-fashioned!

kill it off...

...quick....

....Lorraine Heggasy - i blame you...

Yes CBBC is DREADFUL. Desperately needs a new look. Citv is storming ahead presentation wise.

I agree CBBC is awful now, and to think I liked them to start off. I think of how things would look as idents aswell, the best is the back of a high speed ferry, you could suspend a camera right above the outlet on a boom which can pan away from the ship. For prime time shows stay right above the engines with the water splashing up, and for day time shows do that at a lower speed and then pan/cut to the more relaxed wake, there are loads of variations that you could do, but not quite as many as the balloons!

i think BBC One Daily should be made into a sort of magaziny programme with all the shows in the middle (bit like live and kicking style) then they could use the long music (link below) for a credits sequence.
