What was the purpose of the banner?

Compliance. To cover thy arse, especially if it wasn't voiced before it started.

They all like swearing, so it doesn't matter.

Indeed, hence the phrase "swearing blind".

Still ongoing then, nothing into Saturday Kitchen and generic channel introductions for the Hairy Bikers on One and the snooker on Two.

Maybe they’re protesting over the ugly trailer endboards.

The idents were bad enough but this pushed them over the edge.

When was the last time that a BBC One pres package was generally regarded as acceptable?

Oneness speaks for itself, the Circles decomposed after its first few years and vastly outstayed their welcome to the point where remnants of it still exists today, the Dancers were considered sacrilegious for abolishing the globe, and the Balloon idents had their critics because the logo and accompanying graphics were considered by some as being bland. Even the 1991 package could be scrutinised for being solemn and mute in an age where hardly anyone else did such a thing.

I don’t completely understand what the issues are with the BBC One continuity announcements at the moment - but if they can play out a recording, can they record bespoke announcements for each junction?

If not, could one of the regions take over? Route NET1 to say Manchester or Southampton with clean idents and have that feed (with Manc or Soton live announcer) networked to all?
