Broadcast reporting that BBC 2 is getting season themed new `cheeky` idents throughout 2016.
First ones will be China season and Robot wars themed.
"The 2 will always be doing surprising" says the outgoing controller Kim Shillinglaw.

They've finally managed to line up the BBC TWO box and the Subtitles tag!

Either they've been reading our comments or someone has finally seen sense at the BBC. What a monumental occasion!

What a load of rubbish, so season themed new `cheeky` idents throughout 2016., is nothing new for the past 25 years..... mind you the current crop will be crap because it will be CGI.

The use of the word 'cheeky' also doesn't inspire confidence.

Do they fully replace the current set of idents or is it just for special occasions?

Did anyone spot it this evening? Does anyone else know where the next load of Chinnse programmes get broadcast?

Spot it? It was glaringly played out before the Story of China tonight at 9pm - the first programme in the China Season!

So what exactly is "cheeky" about the 2 dressed up like a Chinese Dragon?

Yeah it's not really recapturing the magic of the 1991-2000 set, is it?
