BBC1's first full daytime service launched on 27 October 1986, after many false starts and years in the planning. Within a year BBC Daytime, as it became known, adopted its own unique look with special graphics and its own animated sting. Both dated very quickly, however, and by 1990 daytime broadcasts used the usual corporate BBC1 branding.
