The Great British Bake Off
2010–BBC TwoChannel 4Documentary
Bunting, a tent and a xylophone — twenty seconds of deliberate gentleness, and one of the most effective pieces of format branding on British television.
The Great British Bake Off opens with a main title sequence of 20 seconds.
At 20 seconds, it opens well under the 37-second median for documentary sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on BBC Two in 2010, when Talking Heads, Yes, Prime Minister and Absolutely Fabulous were also on the network.
