This is BBC ONE

[awkward91]

The music is really sad, especially the piano one. Nice though.

[MiscellaneousBytes]

1:45 Strategically placed BBC balloon!

[weeardguy]

Oh hell yeah I remember these... chills down my spine now I see and hear them again...

[TheGeordie1000]

0:42 where is the balloon

[fraserkatie]

All Lorraine Heggessey's fault for getting rid of this!

[mrjoelumple]

that ballons more well traveled than most balloons, although alot of balloons get let off into the sky so who knows were they go.

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

Central Fails Mr Hudson. Now, anyway.

[tb992]

The balloon is a real balloon and was only digitally inserted when there was flying restrictions in the location they wanted to film at.

[k5uk]

the 1st one creeps me out

[Dephilis]

Oh thank god, not the only person that these freak out...

[racrmimbpsvc]

The angel of the north one was not digitally inserted, I think.

[ohmydinosare]

it was, all of the ones with people in them were digitaly added

[fraserkatie]

How do you know some were digitally inserted? HUH? You have some wrong there!

[Theendoftheroad]

There's another vid on here of these Idents where a guy who was in one of the teams on the angel of the north ident comments saying that it was digitally inserted!

[F1FANjim]

y was the balloon digitally inserted all the time?

[cutestrawberryflower]

[rtkhbkwrestlinguru94]

[JSMALLtv]

BBC, how could you live without the BBC1 globe? not to mention the famous 90's BBC2 idents!!!

i guess fantastic BBC television, is dead

[bluecandylover]

I <3 it

[neo634us]

The BBC Balloon, it is by far the best, beautiful aerial shots of some very beautiful places in the UK..

[xhris94]

brings back memories

[deejay197401]

It says a lot about the strength of this brand when my four year ikd daughter (who of course has never seen these before) said instantly "BBC, and it's a baloon of the world!"

[sestrensaz]

The music they used for these idents is quite hanting and creepy sounding when played without the announcer. o.O

[bidanton]

These BBC1 idents were the best ones by far, though the current ones are not too bad.

The dancers in between though were the absolute pits though!

[devongasman]

me too!

[landinglight]

Aw man - I loved these ones so much. Wish they hadn't stopped them!

[fraserkatie]

If anyone wants to see the balloon, I think it is still in the capable hands of the balloon society at Bristol. I think anyway!

[devongasman]

the balloons on :41,1:28 and 1:41 must be trailer stings

[moshabee]

Yeah... also seen on a loop on screens around TV centre.

[fraserkatie]

Not any more! They now show the new idents, like Moon, and Bikes

[fraserkatie]

I know, I saw them once when I went on a visit around it! Ha! Ha! They have screens that show you whats on the BBC Tv channels but they are all silent!

[fraserkatie]

@moshabee Can remember going on a tour around BBC TV centre and saw this on a screen in the reception I think , was great! They had a selection of them on a screen without music!

[waltlantz]

These are nice, however as a young lad weaned on cracked out visual media, the pre 1991 BBC idents are beyond dull.

[cymruun]

like the music. these weregood, as were the bbc 2 ones of the 90's but you cant keep the same ones forever...and besides as much as i dont really like the current bbc idents they arefar better than itv's.

[AidanLunn]

bring this back PLEEEAAASEEEE!

[unknown685]

*safe

[unknown685]

Yeah but they would have dated really badly lol unless they updated them into the 21st century, the ballon is currently wrapped up in some museum so good and same :)

[sexyjammy1234]

BRlNG ALL OF THE lNDENTS BACK BBC!!! U MADE A BlG MlSTAKE WHEN U DlD! l miss thses indents, they always made me look 2 the sky, 2 see lf l could see the bbc balloon!!!! =D

[JGHGFF]

the only way the balloon would come back is if a member of the public started a peyition and it got thousabds of signatures

i miss the balloons aswell but its highley unlikley it will come back the bbc need to recognise it was the peoples favorite ident of all time

[ratsouffle]

I'll do it!

[nunobensen]

bring back the balloon

[Jamsis1234]

oh wow! l remember this! l also loved this one 2 :d thank u :D

[kaihiwatari111]

wowowowowowowowow!!!! whay eerie music!

[dotcomboy11]

i remebered these when i was a kid brings back memeries what the presenter you to say in the bakground E.g Now its time for the news e.c.t...

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[1218174]

I was just thinking, it would be good if you did a video like this for BBC TWO (1997). The Idents from 1991 and 1997 were fantastic but we'll just stick with 1997 for now. Once again a great video!

[dante314159]

Yes the best of all the BBC ONE idents - can you spot which were shot for real and which use a CGI balloon?

[astonmartin06]

I want to make vote.

I mean, who here thinks is better?

The Balloon,

The dancers(2002-2006)

or the idents used now?

[1218174]

I still think the balloon, the new idents are still ok but the balloon is way better

[JamesWeb]

Wooooah I'd forgotten all about these but the moment I saw them it seemed like only yesterday! Can't believe we've had four years of dancers...

[luckyboy19]

Hey...This is a cool video!! It's messing with my head...Everytime each itent played I expected a program to follow...lol

[1218174]

These have to be the best BBC idents better than the dancers and the new ident which is airing 7th October 2006

[fraserkatie]

I think these are great idents, and I like where the balloon flies and the places are very stunning.

[specialistmusic]

those are fab :) thanks

[1218174]

I reackon these idents are much better than the ones we have now lol
