BBC TV HISTORY: 60 YEARS OF IDENTS 

One thing you notice is the gradual shift from posh to regional accents

They really loved their spinning globe :P

The on-screen clocks were all mechanical up until 1981. BBC Two had an electronic ident from 1979 and BBC One didn't get one of those until 1985. These models were very primitive and the original Batwing one actually fell apart moments after it was first tested.

Can't help feeling it's Patrick Troughton at 0:24...

the hot air balloon was the best

1:49 The last visual image, of the woman unraveling from the red ribbon, is filmed in the Old Royal Horticultural Hall 1932 Elverton Street London SW1P 2QW

So many practical effects for the early idents, using people moving parts and filming it, long before computer generation of graphics! (The idents before 1985 (?) are man-made props.)

The scenes at the end are what idents on the state broadcaster look like in most countries.

0:39 "We interrupt this programme to annoy you and make things generally irritating for you."

I remember these especially the 1974 - 1981 logo :-)

I can remember the 2002 idents though they ended in 2006. The earliest year I can remember is 2007.

1:31 probably the most well known ones to this day 1:43 this was also iconic.

i like the one at 1:07 that's my favourite one

The idents made me love the BBC even though i am a Kenyan!

0:17 my favorite

THIS IS THE BBC, THE EARTH IS MOVING!

How posh they spoke back then the queens English.

This is bbc 1

0:36 high quality idents

The BBC One dancers were the best

The first one with the annoucement about it not being suitible for children etc probably showerd a woman's ankle or something mundane like that ........

The spinning globes and clocks were classy. The indents showing people is just annoying.

This is BBC 1

Good luck.

nice illuminati imagery on the batwings logo

i like the 1997 of the bbc 1 ident

i think it means b for british b for boardcasting and c for company😦

Old ones see it

This is bbc television

¿Como lo puedo encontrar en español?

Great!

Do you have recordings of BBC Local Radio Idents, from the origin dates of local radio stations ?

Took them ages to discover the tripod

BBC1 1985 was the COW globe

Idents 1953-2013

Only see ads ads and more ads

Bring back the aerial balloons! The current crop of idents is terrible.

I’m a bit confused. What channel is this?

Not the same now

We are joining the Pink Panthaa 😅

1:44 haka

No sabía que BBC hizo sus propias logos histories. Lo debería hacer la Televisora de mí país. / I didn't know BBC made their own logos histories. The television of my country should do it.

Oh look. The earth is shown as a spinning ball, even before our planet was seen “from space.” Programming

Who gave the opinion that this video does not suit for children or all of those who may have nervous condition?

What's your favourite ident from BBC Television / BBC One? My favourite ident is the "Balloon" one from 1997.

WH isn't it for children but there's no violence or swearing

rte ident montage

?

Happy b-day, bat wings!

You are FANMADE

wooooow

I love all starting at 1:31! I know I’m an American, but it just has a nice modern feel to it! I feel the previous logos were “unattractive”. I feel the same about the previous NBC logo...it was god awful!

This is London.

This is bbc 1
