There were quite a few variants but I don't think it's really obvious what they were trying to mimic unless you're like us lot. BBC2 hadn't been using those idents for quite a while.

I definitely remember the thread about them on TVF. A bit bizarre as you say as those idents hadn't been on TV for years at that point, but equally goes to show how memorable they were that they would be parodied that long afterwards.

I would be surprised if any clips still exist... But for a while in the circles era, Channel 4 did a bit of in-vision continuity, with a camera off to the side in the voice booth and the announcer carrying on almost as if it wasn't there.
Paramount [Comedy] Channel did a few spoofs of this with their announcer at the time (I want to say it was Phill Jupitus) doing things like eating a takeaway or introducing a programme on C4 before the Paramount one.

Wow - I had no idea the contents of that newsgroup still existed. Some 23 year old posts from me in that thread!

Usenet has had public archives since the 1980s by default unless you opted out later, but the Google Groups thing is relatively new. Used to be Deja News.

Relatively new compared to the age of Usenet I meant. Usenet dates from 1980.
