Well that's a stupid decision. It's the channel's motif now, and pretty easy to do.

They did the same thing when they adopted the  balloon as their motif. For the first two years they had no balloon in their Christmas idents. Unlike 1997 though, I suspect that the lens will still feature in the endboards and trails. So they are not entirely abandoning it this time.

A bit of a shame they didn’t plan ahead and make bespoke Christmas versions of the existing set for the first year of the lens to keep it running. A Christmas Market, A Christmas party in the hall, Snow on the Farmland, Santa flying across the Sky ident. I can see them working really nicely.

I’m never a fan of pres that’s all built around one show (Doctor Who/Gruffalo) as it ends up feeling like one big and repetitive promotion.
