Slightly off topic but I thought I'd post in here considering it is close to a generic BBC One thread.
After Neighbours this afternoon (14.05) there was a programme caption for Seawatch, which was announced by Dean Lydiate, then the rest of the credits were played out with Duncan Newmarch, who had been on BBC Two ahead of Ceefax then BBC One for the rest of the morning, telling us what was coming up. The remainder of the junction was then announced by Dean Lydiate, ending with Music Video (which incidentally is being frequently used this past week) and an anno into Cash In The Attic saying 'Here's Alistair' to which Ben Fogle appeared presenting.
I have two questions from this; the first is how come there were two announcers in the same junction when surely the one announcer could have done the lot, even if the majority had to be pre-recorded as opposed to getting the morning's announcer to either record or do a live anno?
The second question from this was about the incorrect reference - I was wondering are announcements written without actually looking at the programme, instead just going for the main presenter, or was it a case of mistaken identity ie. watching the beginning and getting the wrong presenter? Obviously mistakes happen though and the majority probably wouldn't have even noticed.

Its the automation. Since they flogged off presentation to Red Bee its never been the same.

Huh! And there was Sarah Gentry assuring us on Ready Steady Cook a few months ago that all continuity (except the Learning Zone) was live!

That's a load of rubbish! As if Dean Lydiate would have done a live intro into Breakfast then come back to do some more this afternoon
The thing is many people would believe that all continuity is live.

That looks like a rather nasty re-creation of it - the font and spacing aren't quite right.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/politics97/budget97/graphics/bbclogo.gif is more like it.

Sorry, I fail to see a diffference, apart from size of course.

I think if you look closely, the coloured underlinings are slightly lighter in the smaller logo. Apart from that, I see no difference.
It was a good logo at the time, even if the colours were never shown on screen in the national broadcast. It's the video version that I remember - it really haunts me!
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo (aaaaaaaaaaa.....)

Yes! I'm with you on this one, very haunting; it was used during broadcasts as well as video IIRC; where the Beeb ran sort of corporate trails.
I think the accompanying slogan at the time was "You make it what it is".

Scared the **** out of me! Don't know why. I think it was the crisp echos in the background and the rolling at the end.
Apart from the news, that's the only time really when you could see the logo with its colours. They stood out well against the background.

The old BBC logo looks a lot more stylish than this one. It may look better without that Gill Sans font.
