| | BBC One Balloon Idents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The original idents were filmed over six weeks in the summer of 1997 at various United Kingdom locations such as Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland, Swinside Stone Circle in Cumbria, the rooftops of Cardiff and Snowdonia in Wales. |
 | | With the launch of Sky Digital all idents were now transmitted in widescreen, and the number 888 for subtitles was changed to simply "Subtitles", as this covered both analogue and digital access to them. |
 | | There were also many special idents made for new programmes, sporting events or, most notably, the Christmas holiday (however, the balloon was replaced by symbols in connection with the 12 Days of Christmas in 1997, and a giant red bauble in 1998). |
