* On ''<u>Pob's Programme</u>'', the entire logo graphic is made of fabric and in fact, the entire ending sequence takes place over the logo. The rag doll is also a lot smaller and is between between the words " A Ragdoll (UK)" and "Production" stacked on top of the words "for" and "Channel Four" (This show was produced for Channel 4 UK). "Channel Four" is under the word "for" and under that is a Channel Four copyright date. Pob appears over the logo and to the right of him is a plush version of the same rag doll shown in the logo, with {{color|#ffa500|carrot orange}} stringy hair, a {{color|red}} chequered shirt, and a {{color|#00ff00|shamrock green}} candle. Pob proceeds to blow out the rag doll's candle, dimming the lights. |

** A <u>sub-variant</u> has Pob reading a ''Pob News'' magazine and to the left of him is the same ragdoll from the main variant. A female narrator reminds viewers how to send cash or stamps to Pob, while Pob himself chatters over the narration and nudges the rag doll once. The P.O. box address "{{color|hotpink|P.O. Box 507, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 3AL}}" fades in at the bottom of the screen, in a handwritten font in {{color|hotpink|pastel pink}}, before Pobs blows out the candle. |
