I can’t see the ident package being one you’ll remember in years to come but there’s something sweet about them. The news safe Christmas tree could have been adapted for the lens look. 

I do think the biggest problem is Christmas now starts at the beginning of December. Instead of having a couple of weeks block of Christmas specials you’ve got the spread across the month weakening the impact. It’s started to feel like they’ve realised this so now make a Christmas special for everything. The whole thing was a Christmas special was special, almost an honour for that program. Im just waiting for them to work out how they can do a Christmas special of new so we end up with bbc news at six Christmas Special! 

It’s also why the idents don’t ever feel as special. For me as a child growing up it was so exciting seeing the Christmas idents launching because it meant it was getting close to Christmas. It seemed to always be close to the school breaking up which added to the excitement. Now they’re unveiled whilst “normal” life is still happening. They need to cut Christmas back to a much shorter time period.
