CBBC idents

CBBC ran a series of idents corresponding to its onscreen identity as it appeared from 2007 up to 2016.

Each ident consisted of four individual skits, approximately 2 to 3 seconds in length, in which one or several characters would interact with an individual letter of the CBBC logo in order, before ending on a final logo shot. Idents would often mix and match the various skits, creating a near-indeterminate number of exact variants.

While some skits used exclusively-created characters, others incorporated characters from CBBC's library of original shows of the time, these included a skit featuring Clyde Langer from The Sarah Jane Adventures, while another featured a parodical representation of the Daleks.

Skits

  • Clyde Langer watches, open-mouthed, as a stream of green-coloured energy streams through the air towards him, and materialises into the palm of his hands in the shape of the first "b" of the CBBC logo.
  • The final letter "c" of the CBBC logo is chased through a street by a group of red, Dalek-like post boxes. The letter dodges several of their zaps before ultimately being struck.
