Seems sensible to me if it were linked into the "Watch Live", it certainly would make sense. Not sure if I would do just the header, or give the whole page an appropriate colour scheme... I don't like the idea of animation, unless it is very subtle it tends to cheapen sites, IMHO. The GeoIP system could be used to detect non-UK (or just the cookie) visitors and give them the generic system. Shame they can't give the "BBC World Live" outside the UK, it works brillaintly on Livestation... It's not just Breakfast and the 1, 6 and 10, there is also News 24 Tonight at 7 too.

It's great. I'm sitting in the sun, just watched the new Dr Who. Which was rather good... Catherine Tate's character is a change from Rose and Martha.
