A departure from the usual “table top” Christmas idents with this intricate 8-point snowflake. Each of the spines revolve with the central motor cleverly hidden behind the legend! Here is the first showing from just after lunchtime on Christmas Eve. Then, BBC1 turns in for the night but an unfortunate miscueing of the National Anthem means we don’t see as much of the Snowflake as we could have done.
