I've just been comparing the old BBC TWO idents with the new ones, and looking back at the old ones has shown me that they were getting quite dated now.




I agree I was qatching an old Simpsons tape which had neon, dog, duck, etc. on it & they DO look dated, shame they didn't keep car & just edited the colours though

No matter how 'dated' the old 2s are, they are nowhere near the current idents ont he crapness scale. The old ones are around 1.5 out of 10 when the new ones are around 9

There wer crap ones

Shadow, Glass, Papaercut out, Duck, Excalibur, I Love 1980's, etc.

Obviously at the moment they aint as good but they look more modern & fit in better than the others do as some of them had deteriated in colour, dog & optics especially

Several 'Crap' ones were from the start of the '2' and the end. So maybee this 2 will improve. Yeah whatever.

just out of interest i have the notes used for the BBC Two theme, and the lower version from bounce 3

  C#  E  B  Ab
  G#  B  E#  Eb


if anyone has good midi knowledge... i'm sure we'd all luv a BBC Two medly, as for me, i'm off to make a BBC TWO ringtone for me Nokia Phone Very Happy


Mart, where did you get those? Also, do you know where a BBC News one is? I just want to know what It'd be like on a mobile!


Not that simple I'm afraid - as there's no real 'tune'. The national theme is simply Bflat minor to Eflat maj chords (with Bflat tone signal beating every crochet at crochet = 60)

Same as N24 - a series of chords, no real tune. Worked out the chords for the BBC World special bed a while ago - did you ever get anywhere with adding more to the midi file, Martin?

They really need a more serious looking ident for... serious looking programmes.

Having a jumping 2 before Newsnight's music just looks weird.

Saying that, that's all about to change.

Might bring a new 2 when they revamp.

Just hope they keep the bloody music - none of this generic trash should be allowed to touch that Newsnight theme!

Here's a few of mine

http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoBladeHistory.JPG

2 in cap wonderes over to empty stone block, looks confused then the 2 blade falls into place
(spoof on Blade)
http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoBungeeSnap.JPG

2 jumps of of mountains bounces once but when goes down second time the rope snaps

http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoCarBreakdown.JPG

Lots of 2's race along 7 the camera zooms into a group of them.  one of them starts spluttering & breaks down (spoof on car)

http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoChalkboard.JPG

The 2 walks up to the calkboard & writes on the info & returns back to it's original position, a possible use for schools programmes


http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoDynamite.JPG

2 presses a TNT ingnition down but nothing happens, it approaches the rock it wants to blow up which then blows up resulting in this image (spoof on firecracker)

http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoPaintSplash.JPG

2 walks into a ladder & gets covered in paint (spoof on paint)

http://216.33.148.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/BBCTwoPaintball.JPG

2 bounces round the screen avoiding getting splattered in a paintball type way.

What do you think, sorry they are in this link but I didn't think it would be worth starting up another link when one was already here

edited: Sh*t they haven't come out, I wil send them to ASA & see if he can sort it out for me.
