Channel 5 (Dark Green) - 2020
Barely a month into the new look, and a second broadcast award win saw a re-edit to the ident set for Channel 5. With no expense spared, two different sets of text now animate on and off the idents, albeit in a somewhat tidier manner than before. A dark green example here.

Granada - 1992
Presented here in full stereo from a NICAM broadcast, Granada's early 1992 stripe ident. Appropriately enough, with the NICAM legend present on the ident too. Aired on Easter Sunday 1992.
Latest Additions - 27/03/2020
Hammerite - 1992
Presented in NICAM stereo, the question to ask is 'Any old iron'? From the early 90s, this advert swiftly became embedded in the memories of the British public thanks to the catchy song to accompany it.
Latest Additions - 26/03/2020

Midland Bank remind us what its like when you forget to sing during a karaoke in 1995. With an instrumental version of Rod Stewart's Maggie May playing as a fairly ungrateful brat moves out of his parental home.

B&Q - 1995

BBC News (Late) - 1992
The BBC Nine O' Clock... ish... news from 1992. Although taken from a NICAM recording so with much clearer audio, stereo facilities don't appear to have filtered through to the news by early 1992.
Latest Additions - 21/03/2020
HTV (Next) - 1999

BBC News Channel (Countdown) - 2020
A number-free version of the BBC News countdown. Featuring all the same footage just usually played out in a longer sequence and without the numerical countdown, this usually appears as a holding device to fill gaps where the news may not hit an exact top of the hour. Most commonly this is the case during specials simulcast with BBC One/Two. Here Simon McCoy introduces a special update on Coronavirus in March 2020.
Latest Additions - 17/03/2020
Diet Coke - 1995
One of the most famous Diet Coke adverts from 1995. A group of women take a 'Diet Coke Break' every day at 11.30 so that they can watch a workman remove his shirt.

Look North - 2000
The generic BBC News 'map' titles have arrived at BBC Yorkshire, but widescreen broadcasting is still a way off. What's the best way to fix this conundrum? Simple, just run the titles squashed anamorphicly! Helen Chéné presents a short bulletin, with the top headline being the 2000 fuel blockades coming to an end.
Latest Additions - 13/03/2020
Cadbury's Chocolate Milk - 1989
A jolly little number to advertise Cadbury's Chocolate Milk in the late 80s. One of the products from the Cadbury stable which ultimately didn't last in the market.
Latest Additions - 12/03/2020
Sky - 1990
Still fresh from the BSkyB merger earlier that month, Sky promote their subscription service with an advert for The World Masters snooker. Given what a killer part sport would play for the broadcaster in the following years, it's hard to remember a time where it was almost more of afterthought to their movies service.
Latest Additions - 11/03/2020
ITN (Evening News) - 1995
The Evening News from ITN, from 1995. Gone are the grand shots of the headquarter building or atrium in favour of a much more understated zoomed in shot of the studio itself.

Latest Additions - 08/03/2020
Little Chef - 1995
Better times for the Little Chef chain in the mid-90s, as it was still a well known force in the service station market. Via various buyouts and mergers, the chain grew throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, even ending up a part of the Granada empire in the late 90s. However the 2000s were less kind. With the chain failing to modernise and losing the interest of their family audience, store numbers contracted and the group fell into administration more than once. Even a last ditch attempt to revive affairs with Heston Blumenthal wasn't enough, with the last remnants of the original chain disappearing in 2018.

Series 8 of Celebs Go Dating began in late February 2020, and with it another series of bumpers were introduced to the channel.

Alison Hammond appears in this one.

Channel 5 (Pink) - 2020
On 26th February 2020, Channel 5 introduced a refreshed look to their presentation. Keeping the same logo, but ditching the vague logo-less people idents in favour of a simpler set of coloured graphical idents, set in colours possibly intended to be a subtle throwback to their original launch colourscheme. Here a pink version, complete with their 'Channel of the Year' text overlaid. Two animations existed in each colour for the initial launch, with subtle audio variants existing for both.

CBBC (Drones) - 2020
The full length version of the 'Drone' ident, featuring more time focused on the controls for the drone. In an era of childhood obesity panic, it's good to see children getting all that essential finger exercise rather than carrying heavy weights.

CBBC (Trampoline) - 2017
A new logo and presentation package were introduced to CBBC in 2016, aiming to give the channel a squarer logo which would work better in apps as they tried to be all hip and down with dem kids. Idents consist of scenes featuring the colours of the new logo, with the scene here showing trampolining.
