 The Controller's Chair: BBC Three | Aspidistra
BBC Three was only launched early in 2003 and yet in its short life, it has sparked more controversy than any other BBC station.
BBC Three’s branding is pretty good, but I would work with Lambie Nairn and Aardman Animations to gently revise it, keep it fresh and edgy, just like the station.
In summary, BBC Three needs to go from being safe to pushing the boundaries, and whoever really sits in the Controller’s chair must make the transition if they are to justify BBC Three’s continued existence.

By the very end of last year, the BBC Choice label was effectively being peeled away at the edges as the standard idents where being ripped apart and walked through to reveal a large-scale “THREE” - the new channel’s logo – under construction.
From the start of this year, the Three brand was going further, as teasing trailers where often spotted on BBC One and Two and by the end of January, the standard closedown of Choice in the early hours was followed by a looped preview of the new channel.

When BBC Choice became BBC Three in February 2003, the regular presenters were Claudia Winkleman and Paddy O'Connell.
Stuart Murphy, the controller of BBC Three, said he felt he wanted a change for the channel - that BBC Three had to evolve - and that meant that a 4 year old commission may not be a good thing to continue with (very few other shows have survived that long on his channel).
There were also budget issues - as BBC Three has a lower budget this year than last, and Liquid News was a significant chunk of this.
