BBC Productions

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 (either the 1958, 1963 or 1971 designs) with "tv" in a wide white rhombus underneath the producer/director's credit.

Variants:
 * On one show, the notice in red appears on a card.
 * An on-screen variant of this logo has it black on a brink pink background.
 * A promotions variant has "A" next to the logo and "PROMOTIONS RELEASE" underneath.
 * On An Evening With Nat King Cole, the logo appears scrolling across the screen alongside the end credits.
 * 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 5th logo beginning series 4.

2nd Logo (Late 1960s?)
Logo: On a black background, three vertical bars are drawn: the left and right bar going upwards and the center moving down. They become slanted and shrinks to become three slanted squares. Then "A" and "PRODUCTION" appear above and below them respectively and "BBC" in black is over the three squares.

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

FX/SFX: Simply the bars forming the logo.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Ultra rare. It was so far spotted on a few programs, which includes Steptoe and Son and The Epic That Never Was.

3rd Logo (1971-1990)
Logo: The 1971 BBC logo appears within a copyright notice with the copyright symbol to the left and the year in roman numerals to the right.

Variants:
 * On color programs, "Times New Roman" would be added next to the BBC logo. This would later be phased out towards the end of the 1970s with the regular version on later color programmes after the 1970s.
 * On The Fight Against Slavery, the logo is in a sand color and the copyright info is separate from the logo itself.
 * Fawlty Towers would have this variant in yellow.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. As with the 1st logo, it is seen on shows produced by the BBC during this period such as series 1-3 of The Rock 'n' Roll Years. It makes some surprise appearances on some programmes after 1990, like the third season of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and some episodes of Playdays, thus causing it to be used in tandem with the next one.

4th Logo (1974)
Logo: Just some simple text saying "A BBC/WGBH Co-production".

FX/SFX: None, unless you count the fade-out.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme for the program.

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

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (1988-1997)
