Video content

[00:00:00] IDENT: played off laserdisc, this ident was first seen on 16th February 1991. It was introduced as part of a complete revamp of the on-screen presentation of BBC One and BBC Two.

Early morning OU protocol dictated that this opening announcement would be followed by c. two minutes of music, before a link into the programme. The ident would remain on screen for the duration.

Open University transmissions would cease on BBC One in September 1992.
