(2007) Ep 2.1
This clip features the nostalgic BBC1 station identification (ident) aired exclusively to launch episode 1 of the highly anticipated second series of Life on Mars and includes the promotional tag line, "Back In The Nick of Time".
This ident is not available on the DVD.
Background - On 15 November 1969, BBC1 began transmitting in colour, and introduced the first version of the "mirror globe" ident. The inclusion of the word "colour" in the station ident could be viewed as a subtle reminder to the vast majority of viewers, still watching in black and white, to buy a colour TV set and the much more expensive colour television licence which financed the BBC.
The "mirror globe" ident was revised in 1972 to use a more ornate font, from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s the BBC1 ident comprised various fonts reading 'BBC1' below variations on the mirror globe, with a deep blue background.
This particular ident was revised for the second series of Life on Mars.
