1st Logo (November 20, 1997-2000)

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: On a steel-colored ocean-like background, a shiny, {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|orange}} ball falls from the screen and causes a ripple effect, revealing the fairly beveled letters "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|royalblue|mbc}}" and the bottom text "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Arial Black|mentorn barraclough carey}}". Co-producers appear below after the animation sequence.

Variants:

Early programs containing this logo have the bottom text stacked.
A widescreen version of this logo exists.
- On the Withnail and I extra "I Demand to Have Some Booze!", the logo appears to be stretched.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A high pitched string note, some twinkling after the ball lands in the water, and a calm orchestral note to cap it off. Otherwise, the ending theme of the programme plays over.

Availability: Extremely rare. It was mostly seen on Channel 4 documentaries from this period such as The Peculiar Memories Of Bruce Robinson and a UKTV History airing of The Crimean War. The early variant was seen on the latter documentary as well as The History of Cancer.

2nd Logo (May 15, 2000-2001)

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: Using the same animation sequence from last time, the logo now sits on a black background and the bottom text is un-bolded.

Technique: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Extremely rare; it had a short lifespan and only a few programs are known to have this logo. These include select early episodes of Secrets of the Dead, Babitsky's War, and the Without Walls documentary "The Cult That Couldn't Stop Killing".
