How do you get to them via a newer updated sky guide?

Bhangra does have them dancing to music in the background. Would still swap them all for Circles. Crying or Very sad

What about Cavers?

Like all the other dull lot. Mill about then stand together and look into the camera. I hate these things so much!

One thing is for sure - newer idents are still going to suffer from the same fundamental problems as every other ident in the set.

From that screengrab, Cavers feels just as lifeless as Mountain Rescue was when that debuted in January.

I assume you just go to the catch up section iPlayer, A-Z and scroll down to Preview. They put trailers in there which is why I look from time to time. Now they put a few idents in there. They've even got 'new iPlayer background' there. It's a very random place.

I like idents with logos that can be manipulated. I dread to think of what we'll get at Christmas. A bunch of Santas milling around. No creativity, no invention, no thanks to Oneness.

These Oneness idents are basically Rhythm & Movement without the


Without the rhythm and movement, yes.

Ah, that music on the Bhangra is just, perfecto.

And there they are! I feel disloyal for liking Bhangra a little. It's no substitute for Mission Control Circle or a balloon globe is it?

Still don't understand the point of the shaky camerawork. If Bhangra was shot static, or maybe with a jib to slowly drift in altitude to add interest, and of course remove those backpacks against the back wall Rolling Eyes, it would be getting on for as good as being worthy of inclusion into the Rhythm and Movement set (on first impressions).

I've seen this really nice iPlayer promo a few times on BBC 1 & 2....

Makes me think there's still hope for BBC TV presentation yet.

This is the problem I have with them. It's usually an unsteady camera pointing at a bunch of randoms not doing much. At least with Rhythm & Movement some effort was made. Red as a theme, the same tune but with different musical variations, choreography like in Music Video & Bollywood, a slow motion effect added or sweeping camera movements.

Oneness idents are anti idents to me. They tick every single box about what I hate when ad agencies or uncreative people do idents. Even the earliest BBC idents had creativity and effort put into them like Batwings and the mirror globe.

What a sad state of affairs TV presentation has become.

And before anybody says it's only TV and don't take it seriously. This forum is for exactly that.
