BBC ONE has launched its CHRISTMAS IDENTS for 2023! The Beeb has a long standing track record for producing some of the best festive sequences ever seen in the history of television! With this years batch featuring a mix of both old and new, will it pay off and be another winner? Find out on our Christmassy episode of THE IDENT REVIEW!
we're switching over to BBC2! The presentation from 1991 onwards often gets a lot of attention, but what about the early years? So today, we're going from BBC2's launch in 1964, all the way up until that fateful rebrand in 1991! We've got a lot of interesting idents to look at, so let's get right into it!
we have a brand new channel to spotlight! Being an amalgamation of BBC BRIT and BBC EARTH, audiences throughout Scandinavia will now be treated to BBC NORDIC! We go through the sequences that have appeared on the new service thus far, and whether or not they are any good, or represent the BBC brand as a whole!
we've got a very special deep dive to go through! In 2006, BBC One waved goodbye to the Rhythm & Movement idents to make way for the CIRLCES! For the next 10 years, these spherical sequences would capture the hearts and minds of millions of UK viewers! So we're going to go through EVERY SINGLE ONE (almost) as they head into the spotlight.
we'll be taking a look at CITV! Just after its 40th anniversary, it was announced that the channel would be closing down in the autumn on 2023... but before it does, we're going to turn the clock back to 2009 and look at a selection of idents that aim to show the uniqueness and the fun, that CITV had to offer!
we look at the NEW 2023 revamp for the BBC's leading children's channels! That being CBBC and CBEEBIES!

Is it a much needed modern update, or do they completely fall flat... find out in today's episode of THE IDENT REVIEW!
