I agree. I think some folks expect too much these days. Idents are just things used to introduce a programme, and this year the beeb seem, based upon first sighting, to have produced a little gem. I can't see any channel this year topping that.
Really wasn't 'too short' a build up. Too short a build up was the past two years when there wasn't a build up at all. A lovely ident, really like the soundtrack too. Quite magical. Well done BBC.

Yes I noticed this - I wonder if the endboard used reflects the time that the programme is scheduled. Did we have day and night endboards in 2010 with the houses or am I misremembering? Would certainly be interesting if there were day and night idents as well, which has happened quite a few times in BBC One Christmas past!
Very happy with this year's Christmas presentation, and I think we knew it was going to be a good one even just based on the endboards this year. My hopes for any new live-action Christmas idents have been lowered from the past couple years, but it is of course understandable what with the cuts the BBC has been forced to make. So this is a very nice surprise indeed!
If I have to be picky, and what is TV Forum without pickiness, I still think that they are airing them too early. They should at least wait until next week, and personally they could wait until two weeks from now. I have a feeling we won't tire of seeing this package as much as we have the last few years however.
Best Christmas Ident in Years! Looks wonderful. And I like that theres a Night and Day version of the endboard.

I love it! And I love the music on it! I think there'll be two more special tree variants with Strictly and another show. Was expecting it ending on an aerial view, what they did instead was a surprise. Worked well.
Also I have to say with the TARDIS tree. It's amazing how after all these years Tom Baker's multi-coloured Doctor Who scarf is instantly recognisable.

Reminds me of the 2010 pres with day and night endboards. That's a good thing.

Yes, the form up is very imaginative. It works tremendously well.
