British Warning Screen

Screen (1991)

Visuals: On a black background, a flashing light blue star fades in. It shrinks and moves towards the top left of the screen as the same space background from the Preview bumper fades in. Just as the star finishes shrinking, the following text, in an italicised Times font, scrolls up, before eventually segueing into the 2nd SGE Home Video logo:
