I think around this time in 1991 they were showing all the Cliff Richard films because I have "The Young Ones" film on video somewhere from around this time

The ident at the start of the snooker coverage is Water - which is also seen in the sidebar during the Expresso Bongo trailer. The sidebar in the Wonderful Life slide shows a shot from the Copper Cut-Out ident.

And notice the misspelling of 'Crucible' in the snooker opening titles.

Thanks for saving me the chore of naming the myriad of 1990s BBC2 idents. It's something I meant to get around to but somehow I seem to have a ton of BBC2 clips from this era.

Cheers.

[deselmes]

No probs.

ha! a rare error from BBC Sport.

Also love the wide shot where you can see the O/B facilities in situ - always wondered how much gear they took to events. (Hopefully - for them - it's a little less now)
