I thought I was fed up with the skating penguins but Jesus H Christ the new ones are worse.
How long am I going to have to look at that group of misfits coming out of the sea or the aerobic class?
I'm usually a big supporter of the BBC but this sh*te makes me have second thoughts.

I think it's a cost cutting measure but they really are terrible.

You not got any fences around to sit on BurlyBeaR ?  But you're right. Flabby goosebumps don't do it for me either. (I only hope no TheatreBoard member's granny's in it  ) |

I hate them too, they really seem to put me in a bad mood. Which I'm sure wasn't the intention.

I with you Burly. We've only had them for 6 weeks so I fear they are here for a bit longer. The last theme (BBC One Circle) was around for 10 years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38486283 |

I should have posted about this in the "unpopular opinion" thread, but clearly I am not the only one to dislike theses idents. What on earth is attraction of them? Presumably they were customer tested before being rolled out and I gather it is to do with "togetherness". Forgive me, but I don't want to be "together" with extreme swimmers thank you very much!

I see what they were going for but the aerobics and swimming ones were a big mistake. Have more bake sales, choirs, lifeboat volunteers and retire most of the current ones.

I just find them depressing (with the possible exception of the wheelchair basketball). They look like adverts for really rubbish holiday experiences (Would you rather be swimming in the sea off Clevedon or getting lost in the Welsh mountains?)
