I rather like that! Certainly the best of the current batch which IMO are bland in the extreme, especially when compared to the wonderful old 2's. I agree though that it's very English - so am not surprised that it looks like it'll be rarely seen in the Nations. Shame they didn't make a Scottish or Irish dancing version. Is there a particular style of Welsh dancing?

Northern Ireland also have a BBC TWO ident called 'Fry' where the 2 is seen to eat a cooked breakfast. I cant seem to find a video clip of it anywhere on the internet though! The copy The TV Room have doesnt work.

The 'Fry' video clip should work now. Sorry about that.

Should you encounter any other broken links, please let me know.

By the way TV Room, where the hell have the copies of BBC2's Firecracker and Balloon gone?

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

If only that could be said of entire branding packages Laughing

Sadly not and it's a shame because Causeway and Polaroid are better than the vast majority of the ones in use nationally. The way these 'two's' are created is just too limiting. With the older 'two's' they had much more creativity. Once they moved away from the greeny/blue of the original 9 they got very good.

Yes, I was wondering where those couple have gone, they were probably the best clips (of those two idents) I ever came across.

Well, as you've asked ever so nicely... Rolling Eyes

Some video clips were removed off the site a while back. These were encoded in the early days of The TV Room at a low resolution and bitrate. They were also stored on a server that I'm trying to move away from.

I had intended to replace those clips fairly soon afterwards with better quality versions. However, with one thing and another, it slipped my mind. I shall certainly try and have replacements online soon - maybe within the next couple of weeks. If I forget (which is not unlikely), someone may like to remind me.
