[00:00:00] IDENT: BBC One Northern Ireland globe symbol, accompanied by the National Anthem.
Notice that lots of extra little islands pop up on certain sections of the globe. This was usually caused by dust/dirt.
Unlike network, where it was standard practice for the National Anthem to be cued over the clock, 3 or 4 seconds before mixing/cutting to the globe, BBC Northern Ireland announcer/directors generally favoured fading to black after the globe, and then cuing the National Anthem, before fading up the globe a second or two later.
