BBC1 B&W Idents: 1953-1969 - The Ident Review

Descripción:

This time on THE IDENT REVIEW, we're taking a look at some of the oldest existing idents for one of the oldest television channels in the world! We are of course talking about BBC TV/BBC1, and we look at all of their on-screen identities from the original Batwings from 1953, all the way up to the Watch Strap variants of the late 1960's! The BBC Television Service originally launched in late 1936, before being pulled from the airwaves in 1939 due to the outbreak of World War II, and then making a triumphant return in 1946. Beginning from 1953, the BBC would begin to really devise one central on-screen identity for itself, an identity that would be adapted and expanded over the next few decades! Join me as we look at all of their idents from the black-and-white era of British television.
