BBC Oneness: A TV Forum Tragedy

Great artists aren't always appreciated in their time.

A tribute to the good BBC One idents. Don't let it be forgotten how things used to be done...

What's even more tragic is that they're STILL there.

Nobody at the BBC has reacted at all to the tsunami of unpopular opinion.

No apology, no regret, no sense of humanity, common sense or good management at the BBC at all.

I appear to be the first to say this here but... Oneness has gone! :D 2017-2022! We have 'Lens' as the idents for BBC One now! So much better! It'd be cool if someone made a sequel to this video showing the excitement of seeing the new idents on the TV!

I think the Charlie Brooker bit was spliced in from one of his screen wipes when he woke up to find that Donald Trump had become President, and dejected he went to the cafe.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought these idents were shit.

And by the way I the new 'idents' are just a cost cutting exercise; no acting or dancing skills required, no costumes, no special effects, no sets required; just put a bunch of ordinary folk in front of the camera doing ordinary stuff, and use it as an ident under the banner of 'togetherness'.

In fairness the only good oneness ident is when The Whovian Chaser introduced the Doctor Who 2016 Christmas Special! That was a great moment for whovians!

[jcampton]

Did that actually happen or is it a mock?

[thomaslyons]

I’m sure these idents will be gone by 2018

I hope BBC get rid of oneness indents & 1997 coprate logo
