honestly one of the best load of idents from any channel. i love how they've kept the same logo all these years but have been able to come up with rly creative ways to show it off

[@craigmcgrathactor]

Great reviews. I played the angry neighbour who runs after the children at the end of Kick-about. It was wonderful to be involved with something so Iconic.

[@AdamMartyn]

I bet it was a blast to be a part of!

[@craigmcgrathactor]

@@AdamMartyn it certainly was.

[@sixeleven637]

ITS THE GUY

[@apolofeve]

5:36 If you look closely, the 4 giant makes sparks when he runs. Nice touch.

[@anonymous-vo2rd]

4:51 that's my favourite one when he collapses of exhaustion

[@edbloxx6611]

I know.

[@TheDuckyDee]

Just saw it before the simpsons

[@sixeleven637]

5:22 😭

[@auroramartell]

The Wheelchair racers made me cry (I have a wheelchair) and it's a nice nod to us disabled people out there.

[@Club-Dreamiverse]

I agree.

[@kennethstidham6406]

One day they decided to color 15% of the viewer's screens purple to honor the 15% of people in the world that live with a disability.

[@lauralamb7723]

Dude

[@diaquallo]

The giant ident on channel 4 is my favorite ident of all time.

[@Nostalgic80s-nd3qb]

These idents are a lot of fun and I wish Channel 4 would bring back the giant for more idents. Great video, Adam.

[@I_AM_D1AM0ND]

I dont know why, but I really enjoy the song at the beginning of the Channel4 idents

[@jordanhowell7798]

I don't want these idents to be replaced anytime soon

[@matthewskidmore2397]

Love these. Also, being from Liverpool, I recognise the area where the wheelchair race takes place is New Brighton promenade, while the kickabout ident was filmed on a street near Liverpool itself.

[@helendunn6524]

My grandad was brilliant l mias him lived near the nersey

[@haitch_one_five_four]

9:19 The 1982 Fourscore

[@brgwrtrainiacproductions7396]

Did you know Quiz was originally going to be a film before it was made into a TV Series?

[@cycleranger]

Football is set in Liverpool and still happens. And the wheel chairs across the water in New Brighton

[@local59_Studios]

and the loud shouting one takes place in surrey

[@vinfinityremakerguy]

2:56 Watch out! Incoming!

[@vinfinityremakerguy]

I love how the narrator warns about ident hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AllThingsRailways]

I remember when these idents were just 'Concept Ideas', and then Channel 4 decided to use them to replace the not as good idents seen in 2016.

[@salem_meow7137]

I love these idents, and I’m really sad to see them being phased out now

[@ben_fpyt]

Great video as always!

[@djboii3267]

Thank you!! About time!

[@subandfletch5978]

Channel 4 idents are hilltops and kickabout and wheelchair race and white cliffs

[@helendunn6524]

I like it when they kick around glad they filmed ❤ it in Liverpool

[@subandfletch5978]

When At kickabout at latder expess thingy at 11:30

[@ethandtheangryenglishguy8253]

Hi Adam Martyn! 😀

[@conanliu98]

Does anyone think the Giant was really in these scenes?

[@sixeleven637]

i remember this

[@progressman95]

I saw these idents on channel 4's KZbin channel

[@MolecularShadowFox]

Always liked the white cliffs one and the hilltop ones the best

[@toastedroast]

I would love to see Channel 4 create some updated giant idents whilst keeping these in circulation still.

[@edbloxx6611]

Do a BBC Alba one! It would be lovely.

[@aVRy_]

I really want to be able to play the song, it sounds wonderful

[@DJEonT1]

Hi Avery. I've arrived at this video because I thought I might be able to mix the acoustic version of the channel 4 theme, i.e. at 4:42 with the old 70s song 'Cheap Trick - I Want You to Want Me' There is a cross-over with both melodies, but they are very much in different keys. I'm sure you'll figure out how to play it if you look around online. I think its only 4 chords with the same lead each chord?

[@edcola6671]

Second. Also, cool! I hope the giant gets to at least 2026.

[@lauralamb7723]

He collapsed in to pieces

[@matthewpayton]

Fantastic I dents

[@AvGeekLucky]

In case you missed it: channel 4 has a compilation of the giant idents up on their youtube channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHbMkIuarLianrM

[@jimferry6539]

Strange monoliths anyone ?

[@Pmccaff2009]

Much much much prefered the timeless 2004+ era

[@Matt78778]

🪕brilliant music

[@abalone7718]

The music is way too simplistic and twee - it has no depth whatsoever. These lack all the charm of the previous identity (and the squares) that preceded. Then there's the programming which has also gone down the pan. Look at the programme listings from the early 2000s and compare it to now. The artsy innovation has all gone.

[@anonymoustipster202]

For me, It’s completely heartbreaking to see the channel which once had one of the most creative idents despite having more shazbot content in recent years has some of the most boring idents I’ve ever seen.

[@agamer2024.]

These are last creative idents channel 4 had at the moment

[@billy_dingo7]

If this is not the most mind numbing video on KZbin then we are all destined to hold office in the Land of Stupid.

[@nikhg7269]

ok boomer

[@calderse]

If youre talking about the comments: its not mind-numbing, its just Autistics talking about their hyperfixatations, etc, i have Autism myself
