Still baffles me when filming three scenes for the Lens set they didn't add a fourth Christmas one. I think then having a basic set with the possibility of adding something more programme specific each year could have worked well.
Sigh...again, the reliance of programme-specific idents is not a good sign, with or without re-used ones. I like the Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler shows, but the idents, whilst perfectly well made, aren't all that to me. The Gruffalo one is a tad better simply because it's more Christmassy with the show, but the Zog one isn't really.
Why is it so hard to adapt the Lens concept for a new Christmas ident? Money isn't an excuse because it was never an excuse for the last 50 years. It's laziness.
Sorry, sorry, I know, normal rant again.
