Background

BBC Productions is the production arm of BBC.

1st Logo (1960-1972, October 12, 1987-1990)


Logo: Superimposed into the end credits is the BBC logo at the time with "tv" in a wide white rhombus underneath the producer/director's credit.

  • On Going for Gold, the logo appears at the top of the screen and is in gold.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare, due to the BBC's infamous practice of taping over its old tapes. Like many in-credit notices, it is seen at the end of BBC-produced shows from this period such as the original Doctor Who series and Steptoe and Son. It made a return on the game show Going for Gold and was used for its first three series before replacing it with the 4th logo beginning series 4.

2nd Logo (Late 1960s?)


Logo: TBA.

Variant: On The Epic That Never Was, the BBC text appears to be more blocky and thicker.

3rd Logo (1972-1990)

Availability: It was only seen on the Horizon/Nova episode "Fusion: The Energy Promise" which can be seen here.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (1990-1997)

  • On Birds of a Feather, the logo (excluding the copyright notice) is colored blue.

  • On Men Behaving Badly, this logo appears as a byline for the Hartswood Films logo. Since said logo is colored green, so is the BBC notice. The top text also reads "FOR BBC TELEVISION".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Fairly common. This is still saved on many shows from the period.

  • Shows that have the logo superimposed into the credits includes series 4 of The Rock 'n' Roll Years,
