It was decided a while back that not all BBC idents should necessarily be invalid by default. Previously invalid idents like {{cs|The Doctor and the Reindeer (TV story)}} and {{cs|Sprout Boy meets a Galaxy of Stars (TV story)}} were welcomed into the validity club. ''Consider Yourself'' was not one of them, because… I dunno. Why not? | It was decided a while back that not all BBC idents should necessarily be invalid by default.

With the majority of the BBC stars here, there's no definitive way of telling if they're playing themselves, or characters that they're known for. A number of the stars are just known for their presenter roles (Anne Robinson, Gary Lineker, etc.) | With the majority of the BBC stars here, there's no definitive way of telling if they're playing themselves, or characters that they're known for.
