Some people at the BBC really do love those red boxes (from a Question Time preview during the 6 O’Clock News).

Hmm, an accident of memory and association here here... first BBC ONE gets a red flagship colour with the balloons in 1997, then this branding is firmed up with the red-themed Rhythm and Movement idents in 2002 which introduce the red box (corresponding to the boxes on the other BBC channels)...

BBC One hasn't really had a 'box' for a while now, but now the red box appears without any mention of the channel the colouring actually comes from! Some kind of hangover from bygone days I suppose.
