Looks like a Flash Reconstruction!

Not bad at all! Though shouldn't morris dancing be BBC1's department? Of course, not PC enough.


No, just not interesting enough. Lots of animated '2s' doing Morris Dancing is quite amusing (the ident looks quite good IMHO) but humans doing it just isn't as interesting as Haka or Capoeira

Some people might disagree about Haka (!)

What a funny ident - I love it!

If it is a May Day ident, then it launched on the wrong day. May Day is not the 1st of May, it's the first Monday in May - i.e. today.

I hope it's not just a one off. It's about time we had another ident added to the regular batch for the first time in two years - and it's a bloody good one as well.

BTW: My 200th post! (I know nobody gives a toss)

Oh don't, you'll start Mr Harvey off.

The May Day bank holiday may well be the first Monday in May [in the UK], but the May Day celebration -- either in the socialist sense or as a twee English event -- will always be the 1st.

Has this symbol been played in the nations at all?

It does look very CGI something the current ones don, the arm movements are too good, not robotey enough.. I'll wait till i see it on TV.

It's been sent to the Nations, it'll be up to each one whether or not they use it.

You'd never think that those are the exact same 2s that gave us Powder, Steam, Paint etc.

Just saw it, not bad. Thing is though because the '2' idents have to be computer generated and use yellow and white, it limits what you can do with them. I wish they'd go back to what they did before, have they '2' logo but put it in lots of different situations like as a donor kebab or a venus fly trap.

Hope we don't ...its a bit too "jolly old English-what what what" for my liking! Hasn't been played all day on BBC TWO here......and I'll try and keep it that way Smile
