OK, I'll keep that in mind...

Yes, they're still good.

Diary

I would appreciate it if you could show these idents as I, like many others, feel that they are still wonderful pieces of work.

Yours faithfully.

I agree with all but not Diary, that's one of my least faves, can we get Firecracker instead, k thx bye.

Excalibur (and possibly others) has been shown in NI. Network's small selection is getting a bit boring IMHO, and it's great to see NI using a much wider selection. All they need to do is eliminate the remaining elements of the "current" look and I don't think anyone would complain too much - the idents are as fresh as ever. A clock is probably a bit too much to ask for, however, especially given BBC TWO only used it regularly at closedown by 2001.

EXTERMINATE!





Aired directly after a trail for the new series, no less

Wow, never thought I'd see that again, very very cool, tell me there's a video, I recall this having a great who-ish soundtrack.

Whatever. We get to see Swan many, many times over

It's the channel's cygnet-ure.

Talking of Swan. Did no one spot the 5 second Swan sting at 5:15?

Worth keeping an eye out for a different Dalek too!

No, didn't spot that. Hope it's shown again soon!
