BBC 1 (One) 1997 Rebranding - Final closedown and startup (Balloon idents)

[@timecapsule.]

I love how they didn't announce the rebrand, it must have been a surprise for viewers the following morning.

Technically the station name changed also from BBC 1 to BBC ONE.

They didn't give anyone a clue that BBC1 was taking off the following morning...

I unfortunately dont remember the 1991 globe design on television, I remember videos with it in school though but my memories really begin with the balloon and what a fantastic music score it had
