Matthew Bell, Royal Television Society, 16th February 2016BBC3's new logo has taken some branding tips from W1A
BBC Three has unveiled a new logo - basically some Roman numerals mashed with an exclamation mark - and we can't help but feel it looks a bit familiar. Namely, it closely resembles a redesign of a logo created in BBC parody W1A, pitched to the Corporation by Jessica Hynes' nightmarish Head of Brand Siobhan Sharpe.
Huw Fullerton, Radio Times, 4th January 2016Radio Times review
Radio Times Top 40 TV Shows of 2015, #36:
TV continued to eat itself in 2015, as the BBC's satire on the BBC returned for a second, hilarious series. It was certainly bold. A month after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked by the Beeb, the first episode dealt with the Top Gear furore by portraying the Corporation as having banned Clarkson's name. Elsewhere, it was business as usual as marketing speak and the BBC's own talent for creating nebulous job titles were skewered with rapier wit. Hugh Bonneville headed the cast as Head of Values Ian Fletcher, but the ensemble was so strong that all should be praised equally.
