BBC Two has long used short idents to introduce its programmes, and a Halloween version turns that familiar television branding into a seasonal joke and a warning at once. This clip, labelled ident A, appears to be one variant from a Halloween night presentation, preserved and shared online by soundboard users who collect television stings. Its appeal is largely nostalgic and atmospheric: even without a programme attached, the ident format signals that viewing is about to begin, while its spooky tone tells listeners the night ahead will be devoted to horror.
