BBC One "Rhythm & Movement" idents

The concerns with this stemmed around a lack of a serious ident to link into the news, and indeed this problem famously occurred one day into the new look upon the death of The Queen Mother.

This style was changed on 1 May 2004 to a plain red background that would close shut over the end of a promotion to contain the programme title.

The particular tai chi form performed was taken from the traditional Wudang system, adapted to suit the demands of the landscape.

On 7 September 2005, BBC Northern Ireland made a slight alteration to the skateboarders ident by turning the "BBC One NI" logo from red to green and introducing a new square in the opposite corner of the screen showing an English flag with the word "Nil" written over it.

In this one included children, again dressed in red, walking round a giant Christmas tree, carrying brightly coloured balls.

The background this time was green, and the look and music has often been compared to the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory directed by Tim Burton.

On BBC One Wales, on 15 May 2002, the day following an international friendly between the Welsh and German national football teams, whose result was 1-0 with a Welsh victory, two special idents were broadcast – one featuring footage of the only goal in the match[3] and the other, the "Festival" ident both of which featuring a visual pun where a white "BBC NIL Germany" logo appeared.

[5] The ONE in the BBC ONE box in the bottom-left corner of the screen was replaced with WON after Wales' victory, between 19 and 21 March.

Comedian Peter Kay also made spoof editions of the Hip-Hop ident in 2003 in the guise of his Phoenix Nights character Brian Potter.

A further spoof featured Jon Culshaw as Tony Blair dancing in a fictional ident outside 10 Downing Street.

According to the Media Guardian, Fincham then confirmed that in autumn 2006, the 'Rhythm and Movement' idents would be replaced with a new presentation package, along with a new schedule.
