    Not only were the idents costly but also, to the Mail’s horror, some of them involved FOREIGNERS, a fact which also outraged The Sun (headline: Hippo Potty). Its TV Biz column helpfully offered this advice on art direction from John Beyer of Mediawatch-uk:

    ****
    “If [the BBC] wants to film a campaign based on circles, it could go to the London Eye or Big Ben”.
    ****

    Thanks for that John. Incidentally, readers may have been forgiven for thinking that Beyer represents some kind of authority on the subject: what The Sun doesn’t inform us is that Mediawatch-uk is actually a right wing pressure group, originally founded by Mary Whitehouse as the National Viewers and Listeners’ Association.
