To be honest I thought Paint had no chance,5 people voted for it though (and someones just voted for it now! Cheeky! Smile)

BTW c@t will record the BBC Wales closedown in around half an hour-isn't that nice? Smile

Thanks to tomg on the chat for saying the exact words-
For the first approx.8 seconds there was no v/o until she said-'Look your last now, because the face of BBC Two is changing forever as of tomorrow morning. To take us into the new world an old, but well respected film from director Robert Wise.'

As soon as I saw Paint and the announcer let it run for longer than usual I got that butterflies feeling...

And now I think I'm going to cry Sad

It's gone forever folks Sad

I was banking on it being 1:55! I'll stay up! (Besides, b&w films tend to have short closing-credits anyway! Or so I think...)

I taped all the closedown idents this week, including tonight's 'Paint'. 2 things I'm angry about: Why didn't they show it minus the |B|B|C| TWO logo? Sad Oh, and why wasn't it without voiceover?! Sad

2001 ain't half as decent as 1991!

I think you should change the title of the topic now Billy

Not much point staying up now, that was obviously the final ident, and nothing's going to happen at 1.55.

I'm off, night night, back at 7.00!

Oh before I go, just one other thing...

I've changed the topic from 'What current ident will be in BBC Two at 1.55-2:00am today?' to Will there be a current ident on BBC Two at 1.55-2:00am tonight?'Razz:
