The BBC2 '2' has become an icon, and, in much the same way as the Channel 4 '4', I think will run and run for many years to come, just in ever more new and different forms.


You were sorta right about the icon bit...Smile

Throughout today we've had some rather old 2s,what most people have already got,and a bit drab.

From late evening,the've been really treating us! What next? Paper Cut Out?Very Happy (Yes I know it was withdrawn ages ago,just being ironic at such a rare (and boring) 2!

At 23:45 it was ARIEL- One of the best IMO

Which always seems quite a rare one, compared to the other 'mid-oldies'


The next junction is in 10 minutes on BBC TWO Wales!

No sightings yet of Catalyst, Woodpecker, Wave Night, Optic, Paint Pot, or the Kebabs or Daleks. My prediction for 12.45 - it's an old black-and-white film, and it's not widescreen - either Paint or Paint Pot.

For the closedown, if it has to be one current ident, I'd like it to be Paint for old time's sake, or Optic in full, as I'd like to see if the 2 settles down and stops at the end of it.

Ideally though, I'd like to see Steam, Silk, Firecracker or Diary - but I know I'm living in fantasy land...
