the memories... all these will be burned into my memory forever from watching the end of the Weakest link and then the Simpsons after one if these indents
Coming home after school was always countdown, deal or no deal, Paul o Grady and the Simpsons. Then fridays just the best it crowd, Friday night project, my name is earl. I miss those days
oh I miss the era years between 2003-2010 they were the best, but now channel 4 has screwed with there idents and now we're approaching the 2020s I'll miss the 2000s
All of the music was specially composed for the idents. It was actually very late when they decided to add music, originally there'd just be sound effects and background noise, but once they'd finished producing the original set they decided to add music to them.
OxygenRBX i was going to reply with an answer but i rly cant think of one. the appeal of idents is so hard to describe bar the usual “it’s nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood etc etc”
This took me ages to find, I've been typing things like 'little chanel 4 adverts that come on before a program start' into google for the past half an hour =/ thank you =D
The soundtrack was specially composed for Channel 4 by sound designers at Blue Post Production. The idents were originally only going to have natural sound effects, so the music was put together quite late on.
Neat idea and brilliant execution, good to see that some of the new ident sets we've been seeing have been hidden tributes to their pasts (like BBC1 and the circle, 2 and the Big 2, and now 4 with the logo being made of stuff)
i really like how pleasing these idents are with the visuals and the audio. too bad those british people had to ruin it with their british voices like if i cared what they are airing on 4. i just want to look at random blocks forming a number gosh darn it!
Forever burnt into my memory will be the house estate ident and the announcer first on four the welcome return of an old favourite its countdown with des Lyman.
which or where is the one with the bass line that had an odd time feel to it? I think it sounds a bit like Tame Impala. I distinctly remember it having oriental/Blade Runner visuals.. Very slow slightly unpredictable bass guitar line... .. anyone? cheers
Here I Will Give it a try (Channel 4 "Hedges" ident starts) "Good Morning your Watching Channel Four in 25 Minutes "The Simpsons" but first There's another Question to be asked... With The Hoobs" (Jim Henson's The Hoobs intro Begins)
Is the one in 2:18 a tribute to the Animal Nitrate video? I mean I know the setting is quite British, but the weather, the colors, the camera movent is all so similar.
the memories... all these will be burned into my memory forever from watching the end of the Weakest link and then the Simpsons after one if these indents
Rocktecho omg yes always the simpsons and also watching the end of Paul o Grady show which I thought was so boring, before the simpsons.
I did that as well, but on BBC Two (back when Simpsons was on after Weakest Link)
I remember watching these idents before "Jim Henson's The Hoobs" (Remember That) Started
Hollyoaks in half an hour, up next, the Simpsons, on 4
with you on this m8
Coming home after school was always countdown, deal or no deal, Paul o Grady and the Simpsons.

My teenage years.
An odd sense of warmth watching these again.
oh I miss the era years between 2003-2010 they were the best, but now channel 4 has screwed with there idents and now we're approaching the 2020s I'll miss the 2000s
Jo potatoz same:(
Can vouch here in 2020
Much better than the latest ones, so atmospheric, effortlessly cool and ambient all at once.
The Simpsons then Hollyoaks
6:00pm - The Simpsons
6:30pm - Hollyoaks
The Big Bang Theory
Hollyoaks
Now it's:
The Simpsons: 5:30PM
Ackley Bridge: 6:00
Then channel 4 news
I love how the announcer says the “it” crowd instead of the IT crowd in some idents 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Lilly Patterson it was originally pronounced “it” to make it sound ironic and sarcastic
Probably just done it to piss people off tbh

bluejam how do you know
Old school days of watching Lost (until Sky had it), The Simpsons, My Name Is Earl, Countdown etc.
RIP Channel 4 3D idents 31st December 2004 - 29th September 2015
God Bless Channel 4. My favourite British TV station!
Why do i like idents so much?
OxygenRBX i was going to reply with an answer but i rly cant think of one. the appeal of idents is so hard to describe bar the usual “it’s nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood etc etc”
I do that's why my big sister always say to me that why do I always watch idents.
My sister say watching idents is stupid but mevI don't find it stupid.
We are all autistics, presumably
Lol me too
00s nostalgia! Love it!
more early 2010s for me tho lol
when they say James Blunt is releasing his new single 'wise men' you feel really old....
I agree David extremely old. I remember watching this in 2004 gosh how time flies. 20 years later still brings back Nostalgic vibes.
miss em
do they not show any of these anymore ? :(
No, they were replaced a few years back with more abstract idents
Memories of watching coach trip, followed by come dine with me, followed by the Simpsons at 6pm
You have nice eyes Steven. ❤
It was originally pronounced "it", because it was ironic and sarcastic.
This took me ages to find, I've been typing things like 'little chanel 4 adverts that come on before a program start' into google for the past half an hour =/ thank you =D
the burning hay bale one made me tear up
Why?
@@thatdoilnameddom87Smoke inhalation, innit?
These memories... I remember coming home from school seeing these..
The Paul O'Grady Show!!!
RIP

Ahh the good old days memories growing up 🥺💔☹️❤️
I remember those... brings back memories (2004-2015)
I wish someone made a Channel 4 Ident using Minecraft. That would be cool.
the tokyo one is the best with the neon lights, but its not on this vid
channel four is the best channel in uk by far all those wonderful documentaries
Neat idea and brilliant execution, good to see that some of the new ident sets we've been seeing have been hidden tributes to their pasts (like BBC1 and the circle, 2 and the Big 2, and now 4 with the logo being made of stuff)
Hi just seeing if you’ll reply
Now on 4, it’s a...
...Space Cadets, on 4.
Lemmy!
My Name Is Earl, on 4.
LEMMY, YOURE BARRED!
I miss these coming on before Big Brother :(
There was one with shipping containers and a really eery music that I loved - anyone have a source for that?
Unfortunately all the soundtracks have no official name
Anyone know the song at 2:18? Loved it since I was a child and don't know where to start with finding the name of it. Cheers!
Same here but the soundtracks seem to be stock owned
Here’s a link to the song! Thank me later:

Here is a link to the actual song you are looking for: ruclips.net/video/BbeeuzU5Qc8/видео.htmlsi=NoeSnzuRJiU7f4wZ
i really like how pleasing these idents are with the visuals and the audio. too bad those british people had to ruin it with their british voices like if i cared what they are airing on 4. i just want to look at random blocks forming a number gosh darn it!
eugh the last one always felt depressing
How?
These r the best idents on TV at the moment.. I hope they dont get rid of them
I agree
Nostalgic af, just pure vibes
I like the soundtrack for these idents
I miss these idents, now it's that weird shouting metal thing.
Forever burnt into my memory will be the house estate ident and the announcer first on four the welcome return of an old favourite its countdown with des Lyman.
gotta love channel 4 - all the best comedy and american imports
I miss these idents way better than today’s weird giant
Anyone remember an ident where it was a washing machine in the middle of a forest, possibly on top of a water fall?
Yessss I’ve been trying to find that one for ages
@@lillypatterson7670 Bro I’m still trying to find it!
Channel 4 is my fav channel on tv.
These idents and the shows they mention literally scream of 2005.
Back when big brother was actually a good show
Really ?
It was always conditioning and brainwashing
I disagree, I have always hated that stupid thing. I wish they would axe it.
@@coolboy5428 Do not forget boring as heck! Nothing even remotely interesting happens on that, I have had more excitement watching paint dry.
which or where is the one with the bass line that had an odd time feel to it?
I think it sounds a bit like Tame Impala.
I distinctly remember it having oriental/Blade Runner visuals..
Very slow slightly unpredictable bass guitar line...
.. anyone?
cheers
These are so cool. And funny how they all remind me of Lost. Goddamn, why did Sky steal Lost from Channel 4! I have to buy series 3 on DVD!
The pylon one really freaks me out
firefighterno1 why
Ye why
Lachlan McIntosh I don’t think he’ll reply bc it’s 11 years old
It will probably be the fact that the 4 was flying on its own
@@lillypatterson7670 tbf pylons usually don’t do that so it is kinda weird
I think there's been some new ones since these actually, which is why the construction one (and some others) are missing)
Fuck, these were the shit.
No Mean Words!!
@@cromagprophet - The term 'the shit' actually means good. Nothing mean at all.
Yes there way better than today’s weird giant
Nice... the last thre are ace! i like the fact C4 came back to the original colourful 4 coming together in pieces like in the 80's.
That bowls one reminds me plentifully of my grandparents.
Love these, thanks for uploading them.
Easily the joint best set of idents in the history of the channel alongside the original blocks. Sad we have to get used to logoless idents now.
"Anyone any opinions on the number 4, generally?"
Eh yeah. Never understood why people think the 4 on a digital display resembles an 'F'. It doesn't.
The bowls one was my favourite.
Thanks for this upload, love their Idents
Wait it's Marcus Bentley from big brother
Oh god just parts of the channel 4 logo in the sky
Ahhh so much memories of these Idents
Here I Will Give it a try (Channel 4 "Hedges" ident starts) "Good Morning your Watching Channel Four in 25 Minutes "The Simpsons" but first There's another Question to be asked... With The Hoobs" (Jim Henson's The Hoobs intro Begins)
Does anyone know who was made theses?
I would really like to know.
Spider Jerusalem Channel 4 did.
the best one is at 2:20
Very nostalgic
how were these done? was it all digitally altered, or were any of these structures actually built?
digitally altered
@@waylander1697 thanks, I've been on the edge of my seat for 14 years waiting to see if anyone might know the answer to this, glad to finally know.
I paused them at the perfect time
luv C4
Who else thinks C4 should bring these back on December 31st 2024?
Does that Geordie fella still work for Channel 4 now that they don't show BB anymore?
I feel old seeing this was uploaded 14 years ago
Pure nostalgia
1 - Market
2 - Alien
3 - Bowls
4 - City
5 - Diner
6 - Hay

Miss these
Very imaginative!
Jingle pub Channel 4 (2003)
Need these sort of indents back because the new ones are not that good.
I love these

Does anyone know, where I can find a making of?
Holy whit I loved these as a kid, I especially remember 2:18 and 1:07
2:42 I love those floating pylons
1:14 this hit me so hard
First one my feet big
Men of honor at10pm
good idents, unlike those on the bbc, what a waste of money, them idents of hippos and kites etc are awful
Wasn't that an advert where the face smoked a Hamlet cigar.
Crazy
i have dreams that look like a lot of these
Only the British elites will remember these idents
I like my name is Earl and the it crowd is a fantastic TV series
I love this clip. (On a side note: People watch 'My Name is Earl' in the UK? I can't believe that anyone even watches it here)
happy 40th Channel 4!
OH NO. A FLOATING 4!!!
Nice
1:41 Is That Film4 Background Diner
really?! i never actually knew that lol
Is the one in 2:18 a tribute to the Animal Nitrate video? I mean I know the setting is quite British, but the weather, the colors, the camera movent is all so similar.
I totally agree!
cool! i guess i i were to move to the uk, i can see this! wonder if chn4 is available in the US lik bbc is as 'bbc america'?
Wow
It's the one that plays from 0.40 that I'd like to identify!
boules
