PLEASE NOTE - 0:37 to 1:22 has had it's original audio replaced Skip to 1:22 to bypass replaced audio Due to a copyright claim, I've had to replace the music for 45 seconds of the video. Because the replacing system KZread offers is incredibly basic, it overlays any audio, not just music. So my usual opening 'Hello and welcome...' etc, had to go. This was the only way in which I could keep the video up and fully visible without completely deleting and re-uploading, which was the last thing I wanted to do. Hope you all understand. Other episodes of the Ident Review have been affected in a similar way, so any video that has this as the pinned comment will have replaced audio, and the timestamp as above from where you can enjoy the episode as intended

4:38 The way things bend, float and turn is towards the northern star, very visible in the areas where Gaelic is spoken. 7:26 the two telescopes are above Oban, one of the main ports to the gaelic speaking communities. Great video all the same. I always used to love watching BBC Alba when I could. My Grandmother was a native speaker and I've learnt enough to read signs and understand most of what's said.

I am desperately trynna find where the swings are it looks so nice all I know is you can see the isle of eigg from there

I remember almost all of the idents shown,but that's just because I was mad with scrolling through random channels on Catch Up TV, and although I am English, it gives me a but of nostalgia.

Theory: The star of the BBC Alba logo is actually a neutron star approaching Earth.

@William Owen Yeah, a neutron star is like a light-emitting alternative to a black hole. I mean, there's a bit more to it than that, but I can't pretend to know what it is.

@William Owen Well, only if you can be killed by molecular decompression.

BBC Alba’s old Idents where very relaxing.

Mangets: exist BBC Alba logo: (is stronger than a magnet) Magnet: am i a joke to you

Holy crap he used my thing. Also gr8 episode

As part of the production team for these idents I can reveal your theory on the channel logo, and the star, is indeed on the right track. It’s actually a reference to the North Star, or that’s how we referred to it internally :)

Really enjoyed this video as i watch the channel out of interest. They released more idents over the past coming years.

I remember watching this channel out of curiously, it felt so surreal to watch and I remember trying to translate what they said The “Cars” ons felt like one of those aesthetic car adverts

Didn't know what BBC Alba was until this video.

this is so nostalgic

Adam can you please tell me the piano music playing at the background when you’re talking about the idents.

good video mate 👍 :)

fun fact: all the things in these idents are pointing at the star in the logo

My request next. Really idents 2009-2020 (including the Halloween idents)

I sometimes watch BC Alba but Scottish Gaelic is a hard language to understand. The sad thing is that Scottish Gaelic might die out of existence due to majority of Scottish people speaking in English. But I am very proud to be part Scottish :)

*BBC

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this was a channel dedicated to showing movies or shows starring Jessica Alba. Although, it would be rather cool to watch Dark Angel on a BBC channel!

Okay, I'm pretty dang late on this as I'm just getting to discovering this channel and watching some of the ident stuff for the past week, but for this one I've been thinking rather differently about the theory of the star or logo being like a magnet of sorts towards almost everything around the country there. Maybe it's me, but this constantly had me thinking about that show Calls on Apple TV Plus. I know that it was an adaptation of an show of the same name form Canal but all these idents did was remind me of that show's first episode and how that one ended. I wouldn't want to spoil it but let me tell you: that terrified me so dang much that all these ddi was bring back some horrifying images of that episode, even though this has gone a different route.

loved it

Hey Adam! Any plans to review the idents for BBC Cymru (BBC's welsh language station)?

S4C too

I live in Scotland and recognise some of the buildings. LOL the ident at 6@13 is the William Wallace Statue with His Majesties Theatre in Aberdeen. We aren't gaelic speakers here.

can u do s4c idents

I came here from Discord 👍

BBC Alba The TG4 And S4C Of Scotland

Could you do an episode on True Entertainment/Sony Channel (2019) idents?

cool man!

Camtgp is great

These idents are really well put together and original... however I get some really weird vibes, every one of these seems unsettling. Especially mixed with the normal every day objects seemingly coming to life - it just makes me feel strange.

Cbeebies Bedtime Stories intro review would be epic

If BBC Scotland can have it's own foreign-language channel, why not BBC Cymru/Wales??

*Yes, I speak Scottish Gaelic. But I never spoke before, Adam Martyn. **#BBCAlba*

I don’t think it’s toward the logo, but towards the star

Sweet.

They really had to abandon this set 😢

i live in London, nowhere near scotland, and I get BBC Alba transmissions. i'm not sure why and how.

Sky.

The "statues" one made me want to buy a drone i will fix later when it 0.01g or crashed.

It’s Gah-lik, not Gay-lick. And it’s Al-apuh, not Al-ba. The audio sting is the rhythm of the word Alba. 🙂

Those are the 2008 idents called Oneness.

fyi scottish gaelic is pronounced "gallic" unlike irish gaelic which is pronounced "gay-lick"

Cool

In 06:15 that's the statue of William Wallace. Alba gu brath.

How many people actually watch this channel? From what I understood the ratings for BBC Scotland are abysmal.

You kept pronouncecing Gealic Wrong, you are pronouncing it in a irish way like irish gealic, scottish gealic is pronounced (Ga-li-ck) If you wanted to know :)

In Gaelic you would pronounce Alba as "Alabooh"

It's a shame the commentator didn't investigate how to pronounce the word Gaelic. The way he pronounces it ('Gaylic') is actually the way the Irish language is referred to. Scottish Gaelic is pronounced 'Galick'. A small thing but important to get right

Unfortunately not correct. Garlic refers to all languages in the garlic language group... Scottish gaelic, Irish garlic... Same descriptive term. You are correct in respect of the "local accent" in pronouncing the word garlic. An English person will pronounce it in their way, so the commentator is correct. What should he put on a Scottish accent just to say the word haha... Nice effort though 😉 go raibh míle mhaith agáit a mháistir!!
