* Christmas 2001: Three toys interact and fly around a room as they float around on helium balloons, with a Christmas tree on the side. The camera moves to the window, where we can see the BBC One globe in the sky. The toys each represent something on the Christmas Day schedule. The dinosaur represents the terrestrial premiere of ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park''. The Trotters Van represents the ''Only Fools and Horses'' episode "If They Could See Us Now", the first to air of the series since 1996, and the robot dog represents the terrestrial premiere of ''Toy Story''. This ident package was produced by [[Aardman Animations]]. | * Christmas 2001: Three toys interact and fly around a room as they float around on helium balloons, with a Christmas tree on the side.

'''Legacy:''' Oneness is often agreed to be the laziest series of BBC idents, showing no charm or value that previous ident branches had shown. It is often compared unfavourably to the Rhythm & Movement idents from 2002 | '''Availability:''' The first ident, "Exercise Class", started broadcasting at 1am on New Year's Day 2017 (late hours of New Years Eve 2016), and more idents would appear throughout the years. The first two idents were removed after a few months following initial negative reception. In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, BBC One temporarily suspended their normal idents on 30th April 2020 in favour of the next logo which was used until the final hours of 18 July 2021. | ||
