Surely singing in a choir/group is another demonstration of the idea behind 'oneness'?


Well, it's certainly a better one than standing around in a field.

Watch this I'll watch Mrs Browns boys and I bet a normal ident will appear. Mind you I've been trying to have the week off from dealing with pres.


Pity. I know I said earlier I was relieved we wouldn't hear a MotD version, but I think an Acapellla version of Mrs Brown's Boys could have been rather entertaining.

Daft thing is, the idents were a capella, but the performances on the show itself were not, even though it was supposed to be according to the ads. They had backing tracks when they shouldn't have!

Not sure why it's daft.

Boxers is pretty awful isn't it. They're chatting and laughing before they stare gormlessly into the camera for 5 seconds before they actually start boxing.

It's just as bad as..... well all of the other idents really.

BBC One East Mids just used the Wheelchair Rugby players to introduce the News. Is this a regular occurence in other regions because I don't remember seeing a regional variant of it before?


and they used the Cyclists before the News at One today. Have they given up on "serious" idents and just letting anything go?

Al Dupres plays Allotment holders to 52", in the wee small hours this morning. Normally, an ident played out for that long would have, no doubt, created some excitement. However, this is Oneness. 52 seconds of mundane nothingness.

Just thought I'd slip this in here, if it fits - a bit of fun of Question Time tonight as David Dimbleby asked an audience member to leave for repeatedly shouting out - I couldn't make out much of what the bloke was saying except for "tax the rich!" several times. The rest of the audience were right behind the Dimblebot, with some giving a standing ovation as the bloke left.

It's quite sad that with the UK's biggest TV channel launching five new idents in the last week, I have no interest in viewing them or reading this thread. What a shame.

BBC QT has been gradually transitioning into a slightly more educated version of the Jeremy Kyle show for years now, with increasingly shouty audiences, raucous cheering at the least thing, loony audience members, but tonight's bloke getting thrown out meant the transition was complete.

I thought we were going to have a repeat of that classic The Time The Place.
