ITV News don't play the music from the display, which is half of the enjoyment as it's intended to match some of the firework sequences. So their broadcast is always rather lacklustre.

Do broadcasters have to purchase rights to the music separately?
They cut off early too. Fireworks still lighting up the sky when they faded to the endcap.

More Oneness... I give up!


I could have told you that 12 months ago...

Why was everyone here so convinced it would end after a year, when there was no proof or sign whatsoever it would?

At least the flabby elderly man boobs have gone.
Because they said it was a one year project. I think most of us assumed they'd be off air after that year, when the reality is they were made throughout the year and will air indefinitely. Sad

You don't see ITV doing it. They don't start running 1994 regional idents on their flagship channel into some cult programme. Yes, it maybe nice for the geeks on here but its terribly old fashioned. Things, times, attitudes have moved on.


Yep. No way ITV would show an old ident for nostalgia purposes. And it wouldn't get cheers from the studio audience if they did.

Yes, it's bad - and it's not going to get any better. They're appallingly dull, badly executed etc etc. Another 300 pages of moans is not going to remedy the situation.

All we can do is hope that something much better replaces this - the sooner the better, obviously.

Let's not go down the path of commenting further on this tripe. It's been done to death already.

The most sensible post in this thread for a good few pages.

As a few mentioned in passing earlier this morning but it got a bit lost among hate for the actual first airing on network, BBC One Wales' first junction for Drone Racers this morning was a little bumpy. After airing the first trailer as Wales branded, they followed that with a clean broadcast of Wales-branded Drone Racers, before switching back over to the network feed partway through the second trailer. With a bonus flash of the generic BBC blocks a few seconds later.

Missing Symphony already. I actually never got tired of it because it was so much more entertaining.


There was impressive animation, actual movement on screen and.... *shock* music!!

And now we’re back to this....

That wild campers ident has all the potential of a beautiful ident as the setting looks stunning. They could have gotten a drone to show off the scenery and the landscape by going up in the air, in stead they shove the camera in the ground and have people stand in front of it gawping aimlessly.

Can’t wait for another year of this....

The Skaters ident is gross. It is ugly and annoying and I have just seen it to introduce the film Bedtime Stories which reminded me how bad that particular ident is. I did expect to see Sea Swimmers and Exercise Class this morning, but these have gone awol. And, how many idents still shown were filmed in the South of England? Answer? None!

I personally find the Bog Snorkellers one an abomination: not only badly executed, as per all the oneness idents, but not quirky or amusing in the least (which I assume was the intention). Just plain daft in a set of idents that already lack any ounce of credibility.
