The addition of this BBC 1 Wales idents has made me wonder why the rest of the Uk aren't treated to 'special' idents - there have been many opputunities over the past few weeks - Doctor Who night, Comic Relief (although the 2003 one was shown) - I think it may have something to do with the fact that the dancer concept is far less versatile than that balloons were - we had a special ident for the Millennium (with the balloon flying over the Dome) and one for the start of Walking With Beasts


Bring back Ballet I say, use Acrobats for other programming aside from news and give Skateboarders a rest.
I have to admit, all though I do like the dancers, we need some more variety and special idents. BBC TWO haven't released a normal ident since 2003 and the only special ident since the disappearance of the balloon was The Big Read, again on BBC TWO and once, cleverly, BBC ONE West stuck a picture of the Concorde on Capoeira when the Concorde made its final flight.
Where is that special presentation that Wales gets?

Oh, BBC, PLEASE DO NOT SHOW ANOTHER REPEAT OF THE BLOODY 1966 WORLD CUP FINAL NEXT YEAR! If you do I'll scream at Greg dyke through a megaphone outside TV Centre.


I wasn't aware he'd returned.

Wales doesn't get them, they make them.

A lot more cheaply, it would appear. The dragon flag symbol may not be to everyone's liking, but it's clear it cost about three and sixpence to make -- and lasts a bit longer than the life of one series.

I wouldn't imagine the costs of renting a power station, technicians/lighting people and a troupe of world class gymnasts came into filming a few happy red people in a pub either.

I prefer BBC Wales' own idents to the main ones. Nice to see some Welshness finally returning to TV screens in Wales.

It's only BBC Wales & S4C left now. Crying or Very sad

I know he isn't! He's the chairman. i think Mark Thompson seems like a wally so I wouldn't waste my time yelling at him! At least Michael Grade still works for the BBC.

A bit facetious arn't you?! Did you get out of bed on the wrong side!?
