In general the BBC One evening announcers are so overly cutesy. What has happened? Can't we have a semi-serious even adult sounding voice like we used to have? Rather than the patronising ones we hear that sound like they're narrating teletubbies.

I think the days of the posh BBC announcer are long gone.

The announcer on BBC One referred to the channel as "One" twice just now.

Quite sporadic but does happen. Not sure if it’s a timing thing or just for a bit of variety. Quite refreshing though, reminds me of the 90s.

Think I last remember hearing it during the nice cross-channel promotion slides we got a couple of months back.

Nice to see a menu post regional news this evening too.

They've also starting giving out personal opinions such as "I recommend you catch such and such series on iPlayer" or something similar. Next they'll be telling us what we should have for our evening meal whilst watching EastEnders.

That sounds like something you might have expected from this announcer...

Yes, it's ridiculous. Personally, I won't be happy until trailers are blacked out altogether. Come to think of it, I'd like to see an end to all coming up sequences, the publication of TV listings and the use of station logos.

Seems a bit more like ITV in the in-vision days - not necessarily a bad thing.

"Hello, my name is Anthony and I'm your live announcer tonight on BBC Two. How about after my shift finishes we all go down the pub for a swift pint and plan our summer holiday together."
