'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on any early releases of BBC programs. It appears on the original ''Fawlty Towers'' tapes, and some ''Postman Pat'' tapes too. The opening and closing logos appear on the 1986 Playhouse Video issues of the BBC Video release of ''Doctor Who''. Strangely, the 5th closing variant made a surprise appearance on Netflix prints of the BBC version of ''The Secret Garden'', possibly due to using an old video master. It also appears on early releases of Series 1 of ''Last of the Summer Wine'', including the first DVD releases (which have the episodes as compilation films for some reason). The 2nd closing variant can be found as an Easter egg on the DVD release of the ''Doctor Who'' story ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. The 4th opening/closing variant appears on a 1984 British pre-cert tape of ''Open All Hours'', released in the United States by CBS/Fox Video in 1989. The "NEW VIDEO TASTIES" variant can be spotted on a trailer/promo tape. The "Rock Flashback" variants can be spotted in ''John Martyn - In Vision 1973-1981'' and ''Deep Purple - California Jam''. The shortened closing variant can be spotted at the end of the VHS for ''Col. Culpeper's Flying Circus''. | '''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen on any early releases of BBC programs. | ||
