* Can be seen on the start and end of many releases from this time, including ''Phoenix Nights'' and later ''Thomas The Tank Engine'' releases, among others.
* On DVD, the standard version only appears at the end of ''Roo Reveals All'' (as part of the DVD release of ''The Last Polar Bears'') and at the end of ''Rosie and Jim: Flashing Fire Engine and Other Urgent Adventures'', likely because it was taken from a VHS master.
* The last few seconds of it makes a surprise appearance on the 2016 DVD release of ''Rosie and Jim: Bumper Pack'', likely due to the master for the episode being taken from the ''Rosie and Jim: Classic Collection'' master.
* It also appears on the 1995 UK VHS re-release of ''Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends: Rock 'n' Roll and Other Stories'' and on a 2002 Marks and Spencer UK VHS re-release of ''Thomas & Friends: Thomas Goes Fishing and Other Stories'' as well.
