Dr Pepper Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Love me some Idents. I will literately spend hours watch Ident compilations on YouTube. Ever see this Russian version of the Thames Ident? I love this one from BBC Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members eugenespeed Posted July 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 A topic close to my heart. Wasn't there a poster on here who ran a blog which covered idents and things like start ups and closedowns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was remlap. He got annoyed if people referred to a US TV station as a network if it wasn't one. How many Americans, let alone Brits, really know the difference?

He also geeked off about satellite connection stuff that no one understood. Though to be fair you're pretty pedantic about the details of things that interest you that no one else particularly cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I go overboard with my pedantry about language or politics sometimes. I don't apologise for it when it comes to football, however.

Daily Buzzard Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I always liked it when an ident was used as part of a show opening titles like in 3-2-1 and Auf Wedersehen Pet season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 18, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2016 Crikey, I thought it ended. It's been going now at least 25 years, surely. Sue Carpenter still on it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah She was still doing voiceovers on it too I thought It had ended as well and just happened to come across it, think it was Sky Sports 5 at some ungodly hour and it sent me straight back to waking up Saturday Mornings as a Kid in the late 90's and turning it on CH4 to get my weekly fix of these strange sports (the term Sports could be used loosely at times with some of the stuff being shown) from around the world Good Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
