BBC ONE CIRCLES IDENTS (2006-2016) | The Ident Review

Episode 115
It's our 5TH BIRTHDAY here on THE IDENT REVIEW! To celebrate, 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 for this special, celebratory IDENT REVIEW episode!
The Ident Review began in May 2018 and since has spawned over 100 episodes and even a spin-off show, the Ident Review Extra! It remains a firm AMTV favourite to this day!

HELL YEAH! These are and will always be my favourite BBC One idents.

[@WindowsFanShorts]

I was born in 2010 and may not have been born in the UK or British in general, but I like this ident package.

[@lucymorrison]

oh hell yeah, 1 hour ident review. Today’s gonna be a good day

[@caseyf14483]

Personally, I grew up with more of the shortened idents, but i can also appreciate the longer ones - yet another fantastic ident review!!!

[@cosmicsummers9978]

Im only 17 but this is giving so many memories.

Happy 5th anniversary to the Ident Review! Also, most of the BBC One "Circle" idents are probably some of the greatest idents of the 2000s with a strong return to the circular motif used for the BBC One idents from the past.

Happy 5th anniversary to the Ident Review, and early congrats on nearly hitting 30k! It's this show that led me to your channel almost 2 years ago and it's been nice seeing the evolution of it all! Seeing the 100th episode, the expansion of AMTV, all the documentaries and shows like Sunday Catch-up and Video Scaries, and even seeing you have a role in a Doctor Who audiobook! This journey has been great! And I wish nothing but great things to come in the future!

These are literally timeless, they still look sharp and modern today.

Fun fact the second titanic ident was the first thing shown after the final analogue channels were shutdown. It almost feels like some kind of commentary

[@Thomanory]

Insane to think this show is now 5 years old, and that the BBC One circles lasted as long as they did. Still, love the episode!

[@jacomoss3041]

The Circle Idents are my favourite. I have no memory of the balloon idents and have a very small memory of rhythm and movement idents but have strong memories of the Circles the less said about the Oneness Idents the better.

[@glassowlie]

The tall ships ident at the beginning is actually the former BBC Northern Ireland logo until 2022.

[@Hardfg5000]

These are my favourite idents ever because of the timeless and beatiful visuals. They could have stayed until to the BBC rebrand and still looked fresh.

Darn this holds the record for the second longest Ident Review episode on this channel

[@KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan]

The last program to be broadcasted with these idents was the 2017 Robbie Williams concert from their annual “Rocks Big Ben Live” New Year’s Eve programming.

[@thecatherd]

Ooh this holds a lot of nostalgia. I don't really watch TV anymore but BBC1 was almost always on in my childhood home.

[@diaquallo]

Oh yay! It's been 5 years since this beauty of a ident became my favorite!

[@Sonen10]

I remember noting how for the Blue Planet II idents, the O in BBC One would zoom into view before the rest of the wordmark faded in. I did not expect to be noting how the O forms in the idents again but lo & behold, Christmas 2016. For those standard idents, while the BBC One logo was still centered, the O took form from a thin, animated line, circling around before the rest of the wordmark appears. From that, I knew that I smelled the arrival of Oneness, and that Who ident effectively confirmed it. Those Christmas 2016 idents had the BBC One logo animate to visibility on screen to transition us, or prepare us for some, to the wonderously worthless (apparently, I don't really have much of an opinion) world of Oneness. On a more positive note, I distinctively smiled as the Christmas '09 ident appeared. Though I did not see the programme as it aired as I haven't likely heard of Who by that time, I remember watching the variant with David Tennant's continuity announcement for The End of Time on KZbin. Overall, congratulations to five years of The Ident Review!

Happy 5th birthday IDENT REVIEWS. I saw some of the Circle ones but wasn't too familiar with them. They were introduced after I went to University and I only had TV for one year - so knew some of them. Not many. The magical forest is my favourite as it was used alot at Easter.
