i am not annoyed at the idents. I would be more accepting of them had I not been on wikipedia earlier and seen them state that the balloon idents were coming back.

Ugh, vandals at large again are they? What page was it?


To be fair, if you beleive everything you read on Wikpedia, you deserve to be disapointed.

That's why citations are so important. If there's a source, fine, if not, take it with a pinch of salt!

The circle idents Wiki page. Vandals claimed that there would be a second run of the Balloon idents - instead it's sadly not true.
Ah. I checked BBC One and History of BBC Television idents.

Yeah, I know. AxG reverted the Circles page and I added a brief update on the two pages I mentioned, citing this thread (because an example of one of the idents is here).

Low budget idents, that's for sure. Costs practically nothing to add a logo over some footage. Especially when there's no editing or effects on the footage. It would take me like 10 minutes to knock something similar up for free!

Can't wait to see this s***e set get a thrashing like what happened with Rhythm and Movement in 2002.

The Miranda Hart programme on BBC One NI had technical problems, blank screen for few seconds and it seems BBC One NI is having problems with their connection to the network. Anyone else noticed it?

While straying from the topic - BBC TWO is back to the usual 90s idents it shows. Played Car straight into Glastonbury 2016 highlights.

A snippet of the The Times article (a subscription is required for the rest).

Rhythm and Movement looks lovely compared to that. At least the production value was decent. That new ident looks like a home video.

What a crappy gift for the New Year from the BBC. I didn't even know this was happening until stumbling across this thread. The circle idents were old but okay and I'd rather they weren't replaced than be replaced with something inferior. Someone please tell me this is just one of those weird January things that the BBC has been inclined to do in recent years.
