BBC Two Launch ident two kangaroo mascots, called Hullabaloo and Custard. Hullabaloo, a mother, represented BBC1, while Custard, her joey, represented the new BBC2. Hullabaloo was so called because BBC1 was entertaining and about song and dance, and Custard was named after the food Custard because as one person at the BBC stated, "everything goes with custard". The ident used with the look was a black white and grey affair. It was an animation that started with grey and black lines flying in from left and right before the white numeral '2' in a black box flies from the top with the BBC logo
Custard tart throughout the UK. In the UK, the custard tart is regarded as a classic British dish. A version by Marcus Wareing was selected on the BBC television programme "Great British Menu" as the final course of a banquet to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday. Variations on the classic recipe include the Manchester tart, where a layer of jam is spread on the pastry before the custard is added. Other versions may have some fresh fruit, such as rhubarb, cooked into the filling. Versions topped with elaborate arrangements of fruit show the influence of French pâtisserie.
