'''Availability:''' Rare, but seen a good deal on A&E (''Lovejoy'', ''A Touch of Frost'', ''Pole To Pole with Michael Palin'') and PBS until the mid '90s. Its first appearance appears to have been on original PBS prints of ''Keeping Up Appearances'', first broadcast on PBS stations in late 1991/early 1992. This was also used to replace the older Lionheart (and Time-Life) logos on reissued BBC library shows (i.e. ''Fawlty Towers'', ''Are You Being Served?'' (other/later episodes, including “The Hero”), ''Good Neighbours'', '' 'Allo,'Allo'', ''To The Manor Born''). This also appeared on some of the CBS/FOX-distributed BBC Video tapes (''Blackadder's Christmas Carol''; ''Shada'').
