Thanks for putting my log up there! I think it's good that you're updating the page quite a lot to suit every ident-ooh BRB)

Here we go.... FISH?!?!?! Oh no,not again!

I'm keeping all the info at http://www.users.nascr.net/~rgwill/bbc2a.htm

Isn't the Mackerel one called Fish?  According to Digital Spy it is.

I'll take your word for it. Someone else called it Mackerel so I took that to be the name.

Ok,let's see what the next noe is then....

It's Bounce! I missed recording that before, and anyway I'm starting to like these new 2s...

Bounce again. Only three different idents so far, and I've got a craving for Car. I mean, they could stick that purple box on it, and the background's already yellow so why not?

Because it would show up how bad the new ones are...

Bounce again...and it's still boring.

Where's the fourth one? Stop teasing us BBC!

First sighting of a new-style slide, though:

Here's my input on the new BBC TWO idents...

JESUS CHRIST - BBC2 HAS BEEN RUINED!

3 out of 4 corners are filled with text, there is no need for the BBC web address there, it should go ontop of the box, and that box should be made smaller, and put in the centre, and the word 'TWO' should be next to the |B|B|C| logo (like it was before).

I'm truely disgusted, and I'll be writing to the BBC to tell them that the new idents are utter crap!! The trailers are crap! god, everything is!

I won't be watching it anymore!

Oh, and one other thing...

These idents are VERY childish, they look more like suitable replacements for CBBC presentation. What will we see before a serious programme like Newsnight? FISH!!!???

I think the TV sites should boycott these awful awful computer generated peices of crap!

I've been told there is a 'serious' ident in the set.

With what music I don't know as you can't use that funky plinky plonky music for it!

Just watched the video back - and you're right! More noticeable on this one is how the text doesn't align with the purple box.

What have they done? Confused
