New BBC One Christmas idents launch this evening

The on air reveal of BBC One’s Christmas presentation package will take place after tonight’s edition of Strictly Come Dancing, at 9pm.

Four idents have been produced, three of which feature characters from The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

The BBC’s adaptation of Charlie Mackesy’s best-selling children’s book will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer over the festive period.

The 40-second ident sequences were created especially for the BBC by the film’s animators.

BBC Two and BBC Four Christmas presentation will also launch this evening, though there’ll be no new festive idents on either channel. Standard idents will remain in use on BBC Three during December.
