  • The time draws near... THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY of BBC TWO is almost here! But just how are the BBC going to celebrate the occasion?
    In the past some milestones they've gone all out on, and others they've barely done anything at all... so how will 60 years fare? Will we get a new commemorative documentary? Some new special idents, or some old classics put back into rotation? The possibilities are there... but will the BBC take them?

    I don’t know if they will bother celebrating BBC Two’s 60th anniversary judging by what is happening right now at the BBC, but we’ll see how it goes.
    I think it would be great if they bring back a selection of the 90’s idents, the 60’s cube, the 70’s discs, the computer-animated ident from 1979, the Personality 2’s and don’t forget Windows of the World. That was a truly great era for the channel.
    Also, I don’t know if you know, but BBC Two did bring back an ident from the Personality 2 era somewhere around 2015 or 2016, which was Christmas 2002.

    For the 50th anniversary they did a panel show called All About Two that had teams answering questions about the history and programmes of BBC2
    Harry (Enfield) and Paul (Whitehouse) also did a spoof documentary called The Story of The 2's which parodied the programming that had aired across the 50 years - the full show isn't on any streaming platform or YT but various clips of it are on here - my fave is the one where they spoof various panel shows

    Great video, Adam. 1989 saw BBC2 celebrate its 25th birthday. There was a week of specials from The Late Show, archive material such as Jazz 625, Theatre 625 (featuring a young Judi Dench) comedy repeats such as Yes Minister and Not the Nine o'clock News. French and Saunders starred in a 25th birthday special, which coincided with their own 10th anniversary as a double act.

    Regarding merchandise (even though I find it unlikely), I'd love it if BBC did what ITV did for their library and release a BBC 2 60th DVD/Blu-Ray, showcasing several programmes from comedies to drama to childrens programmes.
    On the date, I find it likely that the BBC will just repeat some programmes with the idents used on the 50th (which did include the ones prior to 1991) and most likely the 50th documentaries like 50 Years of BBC 2 Comedy.

    I really hope that BBC Two will create some new idents plus air some new programmes and old ones from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s etc. I know this may seem odd but when it reaches April, Could you do a tier list of all the Personality 2’s from 2001-2007. Again, you don’t have to ok, it’s your life. Anyway, this was a great video and we can only hope BBC Two stays on TV screens for another 60 years. Great video Adam.👍😀👍👌

    BBC 2 is just a few months younger than me. I remember in the late 60's when my father got a rented colour TV at the time it was £7 per month which was a lot for a rented TV at the time. When my father wanted to buy is own colour TV at the end of the 70's the company didn't want the TV back so he sold it for £10. He wanted one with a wired remote but my mother told him to pay the extra for one that wasn't wired.
    The BBC is saying they've run out of money but seem to find the money for new buildings in Birmingham so they cannot be that skint if they can spend millions on celebrating another milestone birthday.

    I'm sure they did recreate some of the older BBC2 logos you're showing at 8:42 . I can remember BBC2 repeating old sitcoms on weekday afternoons and they used old idents before each episode and they looked too good to be old recordings. It could easily have been 10 years ago, so maybe there were done for the 50th anniversary and BBC2 HD existed then, so if they were recreations they must have been done in HD.

    The answer Adam is no - Channel 4 turned 40 in 2022 and the channel literally ignored it. BBC 2 is now dustbin for BBC repeats. Take a look at a typical weekday schedule. 6am until 6pm is mostly repeats. Apart from simulcasts of BBC News and some coverage from parliament, they have nothing else of worth on it during the day. The channel has been destroyed by terrible management and scheduling.

If the TV licence isn't scrapped on 1/1/2028 then I can see load of people cancelling, if not in March 2024 and taking out a new licence for £159 and cancelling in 2025 when they have to pay £169.50.
