* '''Home Video Promo:''' The TV ident plays out as normal. The screen then cuts to a clip show featuring in order: ''The Hooley Dooleys'', ''Blinky Bill'', ''Bananas in Pyjamas'', ''Arthur'', ''Noddy's Toyland Adventures'', ''Johnson and Friends'', ''Magic Mountain'', ''Sesame Street'', ''Postman Pat'', ''Thomas the Tank Engine'', ''Spot'', and ''The Wiggles: Wiggledance!''. The last few seconds of the ident animation play again, but this time, after the kids say "ABC!" we hear a voiceover (possibly that of veteran ABC TV announcer Tony Ferguson) saying "Bringing you the best in children's video". | * '''Home Video Promo:''' The TV ident plays out as normal.
