BBC Oneness - idents and presentation

Indeed. What's needed are city based local TV stations, oh...err hang on......

Just caught this ident, I presume it's new.

I'm really not sure what a 'Steel Pan Band' at the Lido in Plymouth has to do with anything relating to BBC One. But, hey-ho, I'm at "oneness" with everyone else who thinks this concept is a pile of . . . .

I much preferred seeing the balloon floating over somewhere I recognised, rather than thinking - WTF are they doing there!

It debuted a month or so ago. Was so popular think it took three days to appear here.

Red shirts and some music... it almost nearly not quite is a rhythm and movement ident... without the movement and with mediocre rhythm

Kate Silverton's first dance on Strictly tonight, which obviously started with the BBC News theme from what sounded like 1999!

Performed live I assume. Maybe that's what BBC News needs - a live orchestra 24/7 performing it's theme tune.

"My name is Huw Edwards, welcome to the One O'Clock news, and a big thanks to my house band, Dave Arch and the News Breakers!"

Just how many Oneness idents are there now? There seems to be a new one crawling out of the woodwork almost every day!

I make it around 36 excluding Christmas and specials. That's one for almost every day. Maybe not.

I think there are 26 different themes/location settings (excluding Forest and any “one-off” or programme-specific idents such as Pitch Battle). Some have more than one version, so if counting each of these separately you’re pretty much spot on - my mental arithmetic makes it 35 individual idents, or 36 if we include Forest.

ISTR that originally there was planned to be 24 different themes/locations - and we now have at least two more than that. How many more will we be subjected to I wonder?

Probably 3 more and then we'll have the Christmas ones back, all before a brand new, slick presentation package for BBC ONE debuts on 1st January 2019.





What? A man can dream, can't he?

I want to believe...
