*For programmes with Ceefax subtitles, the 888 caption appears in the top right. Beginning in July 1999, this was changed to "Subtitles", following the uptake in digital television and the increased use of the new BBC Text service. | *For programmes with Ceefax subtitles, the 888 caption appears in the top right.

*Accompanying clock ident: The clock used the GNAT-designed clock first shown on BBC1, now on a disk with a white/cyan hue, black clock hands, and the dots and dashes inverting to darker to lighter hues. The disk stands on a cyan floor with a white light on a black background, causing a visible shadow to appear. This would be used up to 2001, where it was converted to widescreen when possible. | *Accompanying clock ident: The clock used the GNAT-designed clock first shown on BBC1, now on a disk with a white/cyan hue, black clock hands, and the dots and dashes inverting to darker to lighter hues.

*There were two slight variations of the clock design, commonly used on the channel's closure for the night. The first variant, used from February 16, 1991 to mid-November 1991, appeared more close-up. The second variant, used from mid-November 1991 to October 3, 1997, appeared more further out. The overall design of the clock remained the same | *There were two slight variations of the clock design, commonly used on the channel's closure for the night.

*Paint: A white polystyrene '2' is on a black & white background, splashed by a blob of viridian paint which hurtles in horizontally from the right side of the screen. This illusion was created by moving the '2' and the camera onto its side by 90 degrees anti-clockwise, to make it appear as though the paint was falling sideways. The first and (officially) the last ident to be used in England and Northern Ireland. | *Paint: A white polystyrene '2' is on a black & white background, splashed by a blob of viridian paint which hurtles in horizontally from the right side of the screen.

*Water: An aqua-coloured '2' is on a teal coloured background, half submerged in a pool of water at a 45 degree angle. Using a similar method to Paint, the '2' and camera are both at 45 degrees, giving the impression of the water flowing diagonally when the shot of the '2' is upright. One of the four original idents to be shown throughout the run of the whole series. | *Water: An aqua-coloured '2' is on a teal coloured background, half submerged in a pool of water at a 45 degree angle.
