@cwilliams1976 Didn't have a copy. For the record, the BBC2 Wales Christmas ident in 1989 was that endlessly spinning top again, only with a custom BBC2 logo.
This is the first time I have seen the second part of your retrospective analysis of BBC Xmas idents of the past, and I have to say I am suitably unimpressed by the late '80s efforts. The golden era for me, was 1974-1984, before all that clever, Thatcherite, dull (delete as appropriate), technology took over.
Yeah, I agree with all these posters. You've done a great job on these, and have a good deadpan delivery. Very Victor Lewis Smith if you don't mind me saying.
I watch these videos every year now. Do you think I should get myself sectioned?

At Christmas 1985 BBC Wales made TV history by having the first electronically generated Christmas Ident which was only shown in Wales.

excellent again. I don't think I have actually watched a video this long on youtube that wasn't a tv show before.

The 1988 BBC2 Christmas logo is a weird one.

What this video really needs is a shot of the narrator sitting on his own in a dimly lit living room swearing at that 1987 BBC2 Christmas ident.
