BBC2
I guess each generation has their own scary TV thing, like testcard girl and the puppet. As a 90's child, a lot of things on BBC Two used to scare me and infact some still do now.

Remember those old idents? The green ones, circa 1990 odd? Those used to scare the pants off me, especially if I was watching something on my own.
I used to hate the powder one where the 2 comes crashing down onto the floor, scattering a green powder everywhere.
The fire one was the worst of them all. Imagine me at 7 years old watching a VHS of the BBC Learning Zone for some of the kids activities (don't ask), and that comes on. It's like some terrorist has taken over one of Britain's most prized institutions and then burnt it.

Oh and then there's the Ceefax pages they bring up as a 'programme' but you have no control over which page they choose, and the weird elevator-style music keeps blaring out. Perhaps I am a control freak? That's probably true.

Anyway, I'm sure a my peers would agree with me on the idents.

Oh and *popped* my posting cherry! Hurrah!
