Cheers Rob, I originally thought the next program was 10:40, so thanks for letting me know, so Water, it was expected as they seem to be showing the originals!

The Radio Times comfimes the 5 minute closedown!

BTW the next idents are at 1.:40,and then 11.10, 11.35 (Rex The Runt), 11.45, 12:45 (At that point I'm posting up the revised scedule here) 1.55 Closedown (Wonder if it will be a 5 minute 2 tribute?) 2.00 Learning Zone!

The only thing we should be praying for at this minute: 'Please don't let BBC2 run late! Everything can and will be according to TV schedule!'

Well, we don't have long to wait now, I've gotta feeling they won't do anythin but they must really, 10.5 years is a long time, when the 2's were introduced I was only 5!

EDIT: Which it has!

A surprise entry by Predator at 10.40. Just 4 or 5 chances left - still waiting for Catalyst, Woodpecker, Kebab x3, Optic, Aerial, Wave Night, Dalek x2, Gorilla x2, Paint Pot, Duck.

Mr Hell up at 11.10 - Kebab might be appropriate?

And everything's running bang on schedule so far!  I can't see how Later with Jools Holland is going to run for 1 hour 5 mins when it's a repeat of Friday's programme which ran for 1 hour. A 1.55 closedown is looking promising. I might even stay up!

Unexpected ident just now-Predator! BTW Earlie is saying the Garden ident was used today at 6.45-but Asa said Powder-who's right?

Oh, so they decided on Predator, I like it, the big 2'S are the best, that's why I hate Paint Pot & Swan cos the 2's are small!

It was definetly POWDER Billy because I have it on tape, it was followed by CBBC! dON'T FORGET THOUGH Wales & Northern Ireland like to show different idents sometimes, so this could be the case this morning depending what region ur in, if most ppl have digital they would be watching the London 2 anyway which is the same for England all of the time except the regional programmes slot!

He's still saying there was an announcer today saying 'And now back to CBBC' between 7 and half 8-I am REALLY worried that I missed out on a chance to record it...

An attitude like that gets you everywhere RW! Active! Excited! Thrilling! Bang on time! <clears throat> Right, anyway...

I always stay up - this house has no houserules! I'm a slob! My mum's a slob! I've been expelled from school if anyone's interested! Very Happy Lucky gift from God this is, not that I believe in him, but times like these, I really do - don't you?!

Onto more pressing matters, and now BBC2 have just finished a highly amusing 'Room 101' - ON TIME! - and roll the Duck ident, at 23:09 - come on guys, we've got hope!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy

Duck at 11.09 - first time I've seen it for some time! By the way, the announcer trailed the episode of Rex the Runt that has already been on this morning!
