Visuals: On the black background is a ribbon like-filmstrip that resembles the MGM logo, with a bow tie in place of the mask. Inside the circle, there is Paul O'Grady's pet dog Olga in place of Leo, but with the bluish-gray fur. Underneath the filmstrip is the word "Olgatv", with the "TV" in cadet blue. Olga then stares at the camera, then barks very loud, smiles and then zooms back into the circle and winks at the viewers.
