BBC TV "Bumpers" (The bits before the prog starts)

Is it just me, or does anyone else find those dance sequences before the start of some programmes irritating? Bring back the ones with the balloons I say !

Yeah - I preferred the balloons.
Maybe they should have a bloke making balloon models of the actors in the following program.....

I`d like to know how much of our licence fees go towards this pap. Is there anywhere we can find out?

(Having said that, that is one hot bird in the latin (?) dancing ad, in the rain!)

Balloons for me.

How about a freeview one where John Simpson is in the balloon and after he has ripped his face off to reveal he is Richard Blackwood the RAF could swoop in in their Tornados and take the balloon out. The last you would hear of the irertating twat would be "but I am Eddy Murphyyyyyy"

Breathing deeply......I am calm.

All the best,

The 42%er

The dancers are the BBC`s cringeworthy efforts at being ultra PC and multi cultural. Stinks of trying too hard IMO. I preferred the balloons around various spots in the country, though Miss Heggessy no doubt decided that was too xenephobic or something.

Balloons were great, a touch of class. I`ve kind of got used to the new ones now, but I`d welcome the balloon`s return.

You know, it`s just occured to me that I`ve never seen these dancers so obviously have no clue what you mean or what they look like.

I never watch BBC and I`m still paying em for this sort of thing :(

Something very wrong there somewhere.


How many others are doing the same I wonder.
