I can't thank you enough for this review. Honestly, it might sound strange but these idents have a special place in my heart. You know that they held much must older and that I watch them all the time and still do sometimes go back to the island gallery to watch them. I know it's going to be a great review and yeah I said it before but thank you so much for this ident review and I'm looking forward to the next one, if it is. Happy that this is a long one too.

You’re not on ya own, watching these takes me back 15 years in time and it’s good

The Pylons Channel 4 Ident Was Playing When Countdown Was On In 2009

[@aliteralcabbage]

I may be 2 years late, but amazing video! I recently have been going down the Rabbit Hole of TV, Indents and Channel Shutdowns and haven't found a good channel covering them until yours! Keep up the amazing content! Also as a theme park and coaster enthusiast, the theme park from 23:59 (Coaster) is from Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. The rider POV is on the ride "Jaguar!" with the pieces around the set being from other rides around the park such as "Xcelerator" and "Perilous Plunge".

[@geekmin-old]

As an American, I find entertainment and enjoyment from both American and British television, and British TV, along with your country’s better quality of life and cultural charm, make me want to move to the UK when I grow up. Great review as always. Keep up the good work.

[@sophie_drachen]

I know you might have already covered the specially designed one for the Simpsons with Homer trying to reach over for his cans of Duff. Also, the Tokyo one was really beautiful with all the vibrant colours and the panning shots of the city. Also, the gritty realism of the Flats one definitely captured what it was going for and very well might I add, the music also adds to the vibe too. Wasn't there one on a rollercoaster?

[@BBCTwoIdentFan101]

He didn't cover The Simpsons one before sadly due to copyright.

[@fatherra2534]

Once you really think about these idents, it actually starts to scare me imagine waking up and casually seeing rectangles floating for no reason, and seeing floating buildings. Hell this could make one hell of a horror film.

[@AdamMartyn]

It reminds me of the visions people get after they play Tetris too much! But you're right, a horror film is ripe for the making!

[@fatherra2534]

@@AdamMartyn and i know we'll disagree on this but when i was about 7 and saw the blackpool ident, it really annoyed me as the tower was not parallel.

[@j0hnf_uk]

I remember capturing some of these back in the mid 00's when I got my first capture card for my PC. Although, I think a lot of them were bumpers between ads. I've still got them somewhere. I'll have to look them up.

[@AdamMartyn]

Thats so cool! Would be great to see what you captured!

[@adultmoshifan87]

I actually included a snapshot from one of these Channel 4 idents in a video I made on my college years back in April!

[@andresbravo2003]

“Flats” was the last ident that showed on Channel 4’s 2004 ident set before the Pieces Set debut on Tuesday, 29th September 2015 at 9 PM. I would mind that the Clock ident is really good of how it unwraps for a new look.

Makes me feel like im about to watch my name is earl lol. Good days

[@badcatalex]

A suggestion for a next channel to cover is Disney Channel UK's original three eras- the launch set, the red and blue set, and the "circles" set.

[@timecapsule.]

I remember "Market", "Flats" and "Pylons" being played before the Simpsons episodes.

[@DannyMB24]

Honestly the Angle idents where various shapes come together and form the logo for like 3 frames before going away again are my favourite ones from this set. Specifically the longer ones. My favourite one being Diner.

[@Chloe4656.]

The hedge ident used to scare me when I was young. The music terrified me.

[@the99doctor81]

Great video thank you for all your hard work making it.

Honestly can't remember ever seeing Ruins or Sofa but that could just be my poor memory. Great era though.

[@LastChanceChez]

I had wondered when these would be done. My favourite was the electric pylons. The diner and UFO ones I remember only really being used after 9pm

These idents came out in my childhood when I was born in 2004. My top 10 favourites are 1. Island 2. Pylons 3. Roadworks 4. Hay 5. Dubai 6. Bowls 7. Trafalgar Square/pigeons 8. Diner 9. Market 10. Flats All these are great because they are the top 10 best.

[@KRPTV]

As much as I like the current robot look, nothing can beat these in my opinion, did you know that outside the Channel 4 headquarters they made a giant 4 out of steel that references these idents? I've always been fascinated by that!

[@DuwangKaizer]

My childhood... Reminds me of the time I would tune in to watch simpsons on weekdays after school....

[@chestnutbloke305]

According to sources, the new BBC blocks are due to debut in October. Also, some people on Twitter are saying that they've spotted some filming for the new BBC One idents. One person on TV Live Forum has said that the new idents are "stunning", so that's reassuring. But hey, at least we're getting rid of Oneness once and for all.

You Forgot The Island And Drunk Man Idents

[@mickenziedavis3068]

It was so hard to find the 4 in the scrapyard ident.

[@Reurovision]

I’ve gotta say, C4 has some of the most consistently good idents. From the giant to these ones from 2004, there hasn’t been a single batch that I considered a “flop”. My favourites are Tokyo and Ruins, because the way the bunnies hop reminds me of an advert for a certain black currant drink...

[@Connie_TinuityError]

I beg to differ. The idents that were in use from 2015 until 2017 were a huge flop.

[@Reurovision]

@@Connie_TinuityError Even they have their merits to me.

[@dorpspeed82]

Don't know if it is just me, but I do find it quite strange that these idents were introduced on New Years Eve. Like, wouldn't it have made more logical sense for these idents to have launched the day after, on New Years Day? No idea what the thought process was at Channel 4.

[@darkenedgold2390]

And by the way Blighty is a UKTV channel from 2009-2013 so idk if the idents will be copyrighted

So on The ident gallery u go to the past section, then there should be a channel called ‘Blighty’ in the past section

You should reconsider putting Docks as a dud. Sure you don’t remember seeing it that much, but that may have influenced your decision in this ident. I think the docks setting is honestly beautiful, and the 4 is relatively visible, too.
