Over to two! Three minutes to go!

Yeah, let’s hope no pre-recorded/generic announcements spoil the big reveal!

Well that was subtle to say the least. Absolutely no mention of the rebrand from the continuity announcer here on the England HD channel. Presume the continuity was pre-recorded.

Jinxed it :lol:

BBC Two has that full split animation but One doesn't

[MrBiggieSMLZ]

Those generic morning announcements on Two, though? They’ve been in play since October 4th for some reason, but I just wonder if this is to do with the Red Bee fiasco, or something else.

BBC Two continuity has been recorded in the early morning for years and years, and obviously due to the current situation there is a problem with getting new recordings across.

Thought the flow of that junction looked very nice.

Sort of similar to the launch of the "Personality 2s" when you think about it.

Because it's NOT a rebrand! It's a gradual refresh!

What current situation? COVID-19, or that Red Bee incident?

Red Bee. It's an assumption but I don't think there was any problem with recorded announcements before then and this incident has caused all sorts of little issues aside from the big obvious ones.

Ident Is nice but the text I couldn’t read at times it’s ineligible

Nice to see a decently long run of Sparky before the generic announcement this morning, with new branding of course!
