The ‘blob’ idents on BBC Three have always been a redeeming feature amongst a lot of the tripe that passes for ‘entertainment’ (see ‘Two Pints Of Lager…’ for reference). Their ‘short yet funny in a slightly odd but quite ‘cute’-ish way‘ – ness has been a staple of the channel for as long as I’ve had it on freeview.. and possibly since the start of the channel(?), so it’ll be a shame to see them go. But go they must, to make way for the new BBC Three branding which I actually quite like. It’s pink. I like that. It’s accompanied by a series of new idents which have yet to air but will hopefully be colourful and joyous! Like the sneak preview below..
If you’re unaccustomed to the ‘blobs’, or simply want a refresher – YouTube saves the day again.
It’s a shame really. I must agree that as much as I liked those little blobs, the times were asking for a change.
Well, until I saw the new BBC Three
Pity they spent so much time on the idents and not enough on the filling in between. How many more Two Pints can any man possibly produce!?
And don’t get me started on Lilly Allen! Or those awful wannabe presenters
Yeah, the content still leaves a lot to be desired but it’ll get there. (Surely it HAS to improve sooner or later)..
