Sixth SM rehash of cuddly, yet irritating, non-alcoholic but award-winning radio producer/journo/presenter, VO and sports junkie - part-Welsh, part-Granadalander. Still to be taken. Views wholly owned.

S4C’s Christmas Pres this year is utterly delightful.
A callback, yes (see also BBC1’s Gruffalo) but I love how they keep moving the girl and the dragon forward. Even introduced another new ident this evening.

Rare in-vision glimpse here of network continuity veteran Peter Brook in the booth.
Christmas Ident Calendar Day 5 extra. BBC TV channels almost didn't broadcast over Christmas in 1978 because of strike action. It was resolved at the very last minute. Here's a BBC news report on what happened, with behind the scenes footage of the BBC1 symbol being put together.
