It's a bit like ITV's celeb ident era where if you don't watch every single programme on the channel, you don't know who everyone is. This was seen as one of the downfalls of ITV's celeb idents.

Yes, and anyway the pause on YouTube is too vague to ascertain her exact racial profile.... I can only just work out she's a woman.
Anyway, anyone know?

That's different, it's just a sequence to fill to the top of the hour. It could be anything of course it doesn't have, and hasn't always had number counting down
The BBC News 24 countdown is already a clock in all but name, and that doesn't slow down junctions.

Except the delay isn't a fixed three seconds, and differs based on platform and transmission format.
I've heard the suggestion of running BBC radio stations in a time-bubble and then putting variable delays into the various outputs according to transmission delays, thus making sure that the pips are on time.
It's never been done though as it's a tremendous waste of money and effort and pointless anyway as different recievers work at different speeds. 5 Live MW however is on a delay to match 5 Live on satellite, this is because it broadcasts on a synchronous transmitter network with satellite as a backup. Therefore if one transmitter goes into backup they are still synchronised
Blimey this is so off-topic
You know, when the digital switchover is complete, they could always broadcast the clock at 3 seconds out of time so that by the time you are viewing it, it's actually the correct time.

Yes.
Have NI done an edit yet with the audio something more appropriate? They're usually the sensible ones.
Yes.

Wouldn't work - the reason the clock was ditched was due to the introduction of digital TV - with the delay in transmission due to encoding the clock would always be a few seconds out on real time.
Digital TV had been up and running for a few years before the clock was withdrawn. As has been pointed out here before, a BBC 1 clock for the 'dancers' era was made (all be it with the BBC 1 logo in slightly the wrong place).
The clocks used on digital and analogue BBC 1 in the Nations (and presumably the English Regions too) were always slightly 'slow' to allow the Nations to be able to opt in to the dirty network BBC 1 feed after network had cut away from their clock to the studio. Chances are that the clock you were watching was never exactly right, even in analogue days.
The 'News' ident may seam too 'jolly' but I am surprised nobody has come up with the obvious solution.
Bring back the clock!

And a clock isn't?
