Random Q - which didn't seem to fit any of the specific threads in the newsroom. After the opt-out when Scotland in the headline sequence when it goes back to network there's sometimes a noticable judder in the music a few seconds in. Is there an obvious reason why that happens? It seems similar to when STV fling up their ECP at the end of shows with clear-cut theme music like The X Factor.

BBC Creative has a website now. There's a page about Oneness (both Christmas and 2017) definitely seems from the blurb that it's a year-long campaign, there's also some BTS photos.

The stills gallery wouldn't be complete without a shot of one of the swimmer's a*ses, I suppose. Hope nobody's eating.

Good spot!

Although it says a 'year-long collaboration', which I take to mean they're working with Martin Parr for a year. Whether they continue to broadcast the idents after that is another matter. I do hope your interpretation is correct though and that I'm wrong!

Seeing the Christmas idents again just reminds me how much better executed the Oneness concept could have been. I quite like the idea of programme-specific idents for flagship programmes. Not sure if anyone else has had these as a regular thing since Carlton/Central's 1996 idents with the likes of their Coronation Street and The Bill idents.

Expanding on the bumpers used over the past couple of years would have created Carlton/central 1997/98 style idents. Part of me still feels the animated style idents brought in in January 2015 would have been a better way to refresh rather than the current idents.

As it's a year long campaign, I wonder if Martin will have Christmas versions of his work or because the oneness style
Launched with the better Christmas idents will we see a totally different set for Christmas 2017?

Is it going to be the same old idents next year and for the next few years but without the oneness ? Who knows

I agree. It wouldn't have been the most creative branding but there was a missed opportunity there. BBC2 are following a similar pattern now by not utilising their great 'Arts Night' idents.

I'm sure you're very aware that that's been in use for quite a while now.

No, I hadn't noticed, hence the upload.

The website itself pretty much sums up the standard of the work that's on screen.

Originally used a couple of years ago in the run up to the 30th anniversary and shown occasionally since.

They've been using it since, at least, the trail for the episode "Exile", from May 2015.
