Sorry if this has been previously mentioned, but UKTV Drama seems to have some brand new idents.

How long have these been here or are they just for the daytime?

They have separate daytime idents since they started running during the day (about time too, the way their previous hours were being cut back they were being sidelined out of existance), but the good old drummers from 2001 are still used in the evenings.

Whether or not things will stay this way I don't know, remember that UK Gold first introduced those stupid 'lifestyle' idents for evening use only, still running the MK2 fireworks during the day, and still running the MK1 fireworks on UK Gold 2, before eventually rolling the lifestyle crap out to both channels all the time.

The Mk1 fireworks were always the best, I've even got the rarely shown fifth version on VHS somewhere with Pam Downs signing off for the night!

I hope they do keep the drummers as these are my favourites on the UKTV network, although i preferred the 1997 - 2001 star idents which were originally used on UK Arena!
