The narrative of this TV ident is to represent their channel by doing this in this TV ident they have made the car as the shape of the number 2 from their channels name, the car then zooms around the free space to signify its patience for the show to start playing or to show the excitedness for the show to start or either to indicate it is searching for what channel to watch (if watching on a laptop, phone or iPad where you can choose the show on the app). This TV ident effectively portrays the meaning of it through the use of the toy car which is in the shape of the number 2 zooming around portraying a variety or meanings behind it, this is effective as it has more than one meaning just by the car moving around a lot and being hyper by the way its moving quickly. 

Comparison:

Both TV idents technical qualities as well as the message and narratives compare. The message of both TV idents compare in the way both idents have a similar meaning however the only difference is the ident represents the channels number within the channels name, for example BBC one has cyclists going around in an 'o' form to express the 'o' in the word One of the channels name, and in the second ident for BBC two the car is in the shape of a 2 to associate the car in the shape of a 2 to the channels name. The comparison of both idents for the meaning of them is that each of the idents have more than just one meaning behind the ident as it can represent a few different meanings to the action being done in the videos of the idents. The comparison in the narrative for each ident is that both of the idents have created a group of people or created something to represent their channels number.
