BBC "TWO" generator - produces animated push through sequence of BBC logo using run length coding.

The BBC 'Two' ident was used on BBC2 between 30 March 1986 and 16 February 1991. The BBC commissioned Alan Jeapes, a graphic designer who had worked for more than 50 years in the BBC art department and was responsible for many title sequences, including 'EastEnders'. The new ident, or logo, was intended to create a sophisticated identity to reflect channel's programming.
