[@Daniel-jl6fb]

I always find them so relaxing, need to find an mp3 so I can have it as an alarm clock.

[@jimhigham]

Amazing that these have been around 24 years and still feel fresh. I feel oddly attached to them and will mourn the inevitable day when they are moved on.

[@AlolaMasked]

RIP 2 idents 😭😭😭

[@maricargonzales1507]

BBC2/BBC Two Idents

[@chetapace79]

Well I have bad news for you

[@KaleunMaender77]

These are the best idents on TV ever, anywhere in the world. Forget the overly hyper American idents. Martin Lambie-Nairn was a bloody genius. He gave life to the bold "2". This set of idents is simple, yet undoubtedly, undeniably creative. For the vast majority of them, I sense very little stimulation, although I wonder how people who are sensitive to overstimulation feel about a couple of the main ones like "Neon" and "Firecracker". Too good a set of idents. No wonder they lasted for ten years originally and then got their second wind seven years ago.

[@bernarditaalvarez700]

😮

[@rockys201]

If I could describe so many of these idents in just a couple of words, they'd be "hypnotising" and "mesmerising"

[@liammustapha6643]

5:35 My favourite ident ever! It made me feel cozy during the rain and snow in the cold UK winter season!

[@maricargonzales1507]

[@endrightwinglunacy]

BBC2/BBC Two Special Idents

[@CONNORXMAS2024]

THIS GIVES BBC BACK “MEMORIES” 😢

[@CONNORXMAS2024]

9:33 THAT “ARIEL STING” WAS THE BEST AND CHEER ME UP

[@WillTube1990]

21:34 was that used for anything else other than Wallace & Gromit films?

[@Sampler-YTP]

WillTube1990 They did air Simpsons at some point, so maybe.

[@MrDan1466]

The easy way to tell the tdifference between the idents is the BBC logo used: First one is revived (varied for location, present logo) Second one is original (1988-1997 logo)

[@ccateni28]

+Daniel Davies The second "original" logo was from 1991, but not 1988.

[@deceptimaestro]

+ccateni WAN They actually did bring the logo originally used in the in the first runthrough of the 1991-2001 BBC 2 idents in 1988, but it was not technically seen on until late 1989/early 1990 in the copyright notices, followed by their appearance in the BBC on air identity overhaul in 1991.

[@ccateni28]

+deceptimaestro oh

[@MrSean64]

ccateni 28 That happens to me, too.

[@JAMES-qp8tz]

11:25 Swan Ident (50th Years Version) 29:48 Swan Change Mind Sting 31:11 Whirlwind Sting 32:07 Sneeze Sting

[@SanFran51]

It replaced the TWO ident after a survey stated that it made the channel look "Highbrow and Dull."

[@mudkipdan]

Does anybody know what the bbc 2 ident is at 30:39? I remember this one once, when BBC used to show Simposons at 6PM Mondays and Fridays.

[@contentcreatorbloke]

It's actually not an ident, it's a sting called Pounce.

[@tto0508]

Pounce

[@TheDailyRocky]

Pounce (sting, not ident)

[@maricargonzales1507]

Not the Pounce ident.

[@maricargonzales1507]

Not the BBC Learning Zone idents.

[@margheritasabia3735]

6:21 Vito: Hi and welcome to the celebration marathon here on BBC 2. Now is time to go in Sony pictures studios with Alan Parrish & Sarah Whittle with Judy & Peter. From 1996 By Robin Williams presents Jumanji.

[@maricargonzales1507]

[@whitneyjean-barette8772]

I like how some narrators talk about shady and dark shows

[@AlolaMasked]

8:14 Anybody know what this ident was called?

[@louielouie95]

Still missing The Berlin Wall Ident and The Pop Art Ident

[@shawn_slasher2130]

Rip to

[@PiniMut]

Berlin Wall ident is at 22:43

[@AlolaMasked]

22:43 is the Berlin Wall ident. Now we need the Pop Art Ident

[@visionist7]

Much better than the cutesy yellow indents that followed

[@bluetennant1998]

Those were the days.

[@tatertatshima]

I have a Question, What is exactly the difference between the Water and Water Reflection Ident?

[@S-WProductions]

In Water Reflection, the water reflects on the top half of the 2. In Water, there is no reflection whatsoever.

[@maricargonzales1507]

Yes.

[@karaangelamedecielo3668]

BBC 2 logo ident debuted in 1991

2:54 Intriguingly the idents lights were made rainbow colors in some sort of promotion for Gay Britannia

[@gochem3013]

when this ident was came out at 22:42 - 23:07.

[@endrightwinglunacy]

1994.

[@gochem3013]

What is the name of this ident?

[@endrightwinglunacy]

Emanuel Gochez I don't know the name but it looks like a special ident marking 5 years of the Berlin wall coming down.

[@gochem3013]

DID SOME ONE KNOW THE NAME OF THIS IDENT?!

[@endrightwinglunacy]

Emanuel Gochez No need to shout lol. I looked on Wikipedia, and it's called 'Berlin Wall'. Berlin Wall 29 October - 9 November 1994 Another special ident was used to coincide with the season on the Tales from Berlin and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The Great Berlin Wall in the mid-center of a "2" gets hoisted away by a crane to reveal a 2-shaped hole and see a dark blue sky background in the center area of Berlin.
