* Music: It starts on a closeup of a woman and a man sat on a bench, sharing a pair of earbuds and listening to a piano performance. The man begins to move his hands in a dramatic way, as if he was playing the piano. The diamond appears in front of him as the camera orbits around the bench, revealing the man as a performer sat at a grand piano as an ensemble appears around him. The diamond disappears and the BBC HD logo forms as the woman begins to clap, and the final shot shows them sat at the bench with people passing in front of the camera. | * Music: It starts on a closeup of a woman and a man sat on a bench, sharing a pair of earbuds and listening to a piano performance.

* Carousel: The ident starts in a playground during Winter, with the camera attached to a carousel spinning around with two children on it. The diamond appears and reveals the carousel to be a ride at an amusement park, with the overwhelmingly warm colors contrasting against the dull Winter setting. Various shots of the children riding around on the carousel's horses are shown, before the diamond disappears and they jump off, as the BBC HD logo forms on screen. The final scene is a slow motion shot of the children playing and running away, as the carousel continues to spin slowly. | * Carousel: The ident starts in a playground during Winter, with the camera attached to a carousel spinning around with two children on it.

* Ice Cream: | * Ice Cream: The ident starts on a closeup of a group of people lounging in the sun, who all suddenly turn their heads as the focus changes to reveal a distant ice cream van. All of the people run over and queue in a line, as the diamond forms to reveal a dramatic dance scene set at nighttime, with the people in the queue becoming dancers dressed in bright sparkly clothing. As the diamond disappears, the dancers line up again as if nothing happened, and a final shot of the vendor handing out ice cream to the queue is shown as the BBC HD logo forms. | ||
* The Catch: | * The Catch: Across a lake, a group of children are seen on a dock, with one of them casting a fishing rod, and another using a net in the lake. A closeup is shown of the net in the water, and another closeup is shown of the rod being cast. One child runs over to the other one, who is slowly lifting the net from the lake below, and as he runs a small jar is kicked over, showing an amphibian crawling away. The camera cuts to the net being lifted, as the diamond appear and reveals a shark lunging forwards and biting. Various shots of the shark biting are shown, before the diamond disappears, revealing a small fish flopping around in the net. The BBC HD logo appears as the camera settles on a final shot of the lake with ducks swimming across it, as the two boys remove the fish from the net and place it in a jar filled with water. | ||

* Cat: A playful harpsichord and bells chiming can be heard, slowly building up anticipation with an electric guitar and bass as the cat approaches. As the diamond appears it culiminates with a loud synthesised growling as the lion leaps forward, and as the cat lands a dramatic piano chord is heard, followed by the jingle being played out on a harpischord. | |||
* Dog Walker: A gentle string melody is accompanied by some bells and the sounds of dogs barking and growling. As the diamond forms, a dramatic synthesised orchestra is heard, ending on the four note jingle played on a guitar, and an ambient loop of the string melody from the start of the ident. | |||
* Music: A piano melody is heard through the man's earbuds, and as the diamond appears the piano becomes more intense, ending on the four note jingle being played on the piano. | |||
* Carousel: Metallic clanking is heard as the carousel begins to spin, and when the diamond appears a bouncy circus theme is heard. After the diamond disappears, a drum loop is heard in the background as the jingle plays. | |||
* Ice Cream: Starting out with a basic ice cream van jingle, a drum roll leads into a bombastic jazzy soundtrack, with trumpets and other woodwind instruments. As the ident ends, the four note jingle is played, and the ice cream van jingle fades in again. | |||
* The Catch: A gentle piano melody is heard through the ambience of the park, and as the net is pulled from the water a sudden low rumble is heard, building up into a loud crash as the shark appears. Once the diamond disappears a synthesised version of the jingle plays, ending with a gentle ambience once again. | |||
'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' If the idents are played out for long enough with no announcer, you can actually hear elements from different idents playing in the background ambience. For example, in the Music ident you can faintly hear the ice cream truck from the Ice Cream variant. | '''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' | ||
