    This time on THE IDENT REVIEW, we return to Channel 4 to take a look at the vast majority of sequences that occupied viewers screens from 2004 to 2015!
    After the new millennium began, many TV channels began to adapt a 'bare bones' approach to their idents. Channel 4 also did this to an extent, but still managed to inject its own signature quality into many of the sequences they presented. So join me, as we go through half an hours worth of Channel 4 idents, many of which went on to become absolute classics!

    I can't thank you enough for this review. Honestly, it might sound strange but these idents have a special place in my heart. You know that they held much must older and that I watch them all the time and still do sometimes go back to the island gallery to watch them. I know it's going to be a great review and yeah I said it before but thank you so much for this ident review and I'm looking forward to the next one, if it is. Happy that this is a long one too.

    I know you might have already covered the specially designed one for the Simpsons with Homer trying to reach over for his cans of Duff.
    Also, the Tokyo one was really beautiful with all the vibrant colours and the panning shots of the city.
    Also, the gritty realism of the Flats one definitely captured what it was going for and very well might I add, the music also adds to the vibe too.
    Wasn't there one on a rollercoaster?

    Also as a theme park and coaster enthusiast, the theme park from 23:59 (Coaster) is from Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. The rider POV is on the ride "Jaguar!" with the pieces around the set being from other rides around the park such as "Xcelerator" and "Perilous Plunge".
