The South Bank Show (1)

This title sequence started off in 4:3 ratio, but when ITV went widescreen, the images were enlarged and cropped to 16:9. The animation is great at the start, as Marlene Dietrich watches Ken Russell and Laurence Olivier tinkle the ivories. The later section slows in pace, as dozens of cultural icons materialise in the Vatican beneath Michelangelo's painting of God and Man. The logo is, unfortunately, pretty naff. The clips come from editions which profile Humphrey Bogart (05/01/1997) and Blur (21/11/1999).
