Thanks for that - brilliant quality caps. Although at work on the night shift, missed the montage & will be asleep (kids permitting) at 10am, but looking forward to the new idents which look great.

Looking back, already, I think the "Dancer's" were actually given a wee bit of a raw deal - compared to some of the trash thats ended up on ITV1 over the past few years, the Dancers provided quite an image, mainly I think due to the catchy wee tune in the background. Ive heard a couple of pres-less people hum that tune to themselves, and I think a number of the idents; Skateboarders, the Break Dancers one, Tap Dogs, and Ballet included - were all actually good idents.

I have a feeling this will be a case of not knowing what you've got, till it has past.

Whens the website having the new look.

Well now for completeness, and after having seen what network did, Wales on 1 did pretty much the same but not.

The end of the dancers was announced over quite a long Ballet ident, then the montage of the others [in a different order] with the Festival and Tumbler soundtracks overlaid -- and finally a full local version of Capoeira with Steve Dutfield mentioning coming "full circle".

Not quite as long as network's, but better [naturally].

Thanks for the video - I set a tape to record, but it ran out during Weatherview...

There is 1 thing I liked about the dancers and that was the music.

Thank you! I was beginning to think nobody was watching!

Lovely cap. That ballet ident really didn't get enough praise, but I suppose the matter is academic now. It was bueatifully done, that's for sure.

I don't think i like many of the new idents.They could have had a CGI red ribbon flying through a different part of the country in each ident before landing and had the BBC ONE text fly on.

Yes, I must agree, the final close down last night / early this morning was great. Goodbye old idents and hello to new ones, which will be launching just before 10am this morning!

Wonder what the first idents will be.

I think Bikes.
