As much as we’ve established how the old branding can still slip through, it doesn’t quite explain how things like this can happen…

Dare I say that I quite like it? Much warmer and more legible than the current BBC One look

The BBC logo is current, and the ‘one’ is current, as seen every night on The One Show, so what’s the problem?

Well, it certainly gives you all the programme info in an easier to read and clearer fashion than the current look...

BBC Four are showing some Michael Palin art programmes tonight as it’s his birthday. They are currently showing a repeat of an episode of Ex:S from 1997, but for some reason appear to have stuck the new BBC logo on the opening titles. (Yes, it’s in widescreen).

And at the end of the programme, a very old BBC logo!

Weird. Adding that logo at the start means this is a new edit, so why weren't the credits updated to the current branding and year?

A very early widescreen production then, a year before digital and it even being able to be shown that way, can't have been much else made in 16:9 in 1997 apart from some dramas.

That reminds me of a query I've had for a while: when did the BBC start adding a fade of the blocks at the beginning of programmes, and when did it stop being prescribed?

That's been the case I believe since at least 2011, as an archive post on the blue place suggests.
I think its been longer than that though, possibly since the 1997 rebrand?
