And I will definately reserve judgement, especially if that end board becomes the standard for all trails.

Pedant!
(only joking - I regard Breakfast as a N24 production carried on BBC TWO so Nerr Nerr!)

There used to be a weather forecast after news night till a few years ago. And of course there's weather forecasts on Breakfast on Saturdays...

...and Dead Ringers! I remember seeing something saying that BBC Two's viewers went much higher when the 1990 2's were introduced. I always say this but they should bring them back!

Just saw it after Talking Movies it's all right but nothing special. BBC TWO doesn't really do it for me as a channel anymore, everything about it seems so dull....apart from Top Gear!

Indeed! I've said before that, IMO, the 90's 2's were great - They were the first idents that I really appreciated and paid attention to. It was only when I search for archive footage of them some time ago, I stumbled upon places such as these!
So, yes, bring them back - Ah, the nostalgia!

How could I forget Dead Ringers!! One of my favourites and Culshaw and Ravens are long overdue some BAFTA recognition. The problem with these new '2's is that because they have to have a yellow background, be white & be computer animated, there's not much room for creativity. The revamp of the '2' was the first of many rebranding disasters for British television channels. BBC1, ITV, Channel 4 and several others took good idents and ditched them, only now are they getting good again with the new Channel 4 idents, The Discovery Channel and the new Five idents being some of the standouts.

Precisely - it's not really in its 'heyday' anymore, but I think sometimes, at least they kept the 2 in its same form, even if the colour scheme is too limiting. When this current branding 'era' of BBC TWO ends, I hope it is decided to build on that famous 90's ident style (same level of variety, special themed idents - although TBH the likelihood is low), or maybe even base it on the old short stings they used to use before trailers...
..but, at the very least, don't ditch the numerical 2!
