This is the early hours of 24th December and is the end of the programme day for 23rd December. The BBC One festive ident (and clock) is already in use.

[00:00:00] CLOCK: this was one of those rare occasions where the BBC One clock got a bit of a festive look.
The electronic clock kit included a composite monochrome output suitable for feeding to a colour synthesiser. That’s potentially how the colour change was achieved here.
[00:00:23] IDENT: at first glance, you probably thought you were seeing three snowmen. In fact, what we have here is two snowmen and a snowwoman. The female figure was added at the request of BBC One controller Michael Grade.
