<u>Availability:</u> Seen on tapes from the late 1970s and much of the 1980s featuring programs produced by Thames Television (including ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rainbow'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''Button Moon'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Alias the Jester'', ''Creepy Crawlies'', and ''Count Duckula'' - to name a few). You may also find this logo paired with that of Lollipop Video on certain tapes of the sixth and ninth shows, given that they were aimed primarily at children. The final tape to use this is ''Benny Hill's One Night Video Stand''. Don't expect to see this on the first Thames offerings from Thorn EMI, including their first volume of ''The Best of Benny Hill''. | <u>Availability:</u> Seen on tapes from the late 1970s and much of the 1980s featuring programs produced by Thames Television (including ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rainbow'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''Button Moon'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Alias the Jester'', ''Creepy Crawlies'', and ''Count Duckula'' - to name a few).
