Neither of these seem to have resurfaced online.To be fair, TVS had a special one at the end of Bobby Davro, putting the endcap in a living room corner setting:
Tyne Tees had played around with the idea a couple of years earlier - a few regional programmes, and "Razzmatazz" featured a zoom of the logo in a box that wiped outwards to show the full static end cap. Later on they would generally use some sort of video effect to bring the endcaps on-screen, especially network stuff which was unusual within ITV, and I'm sure was against some network decree somewhere...
Thinking about it, it's a bit odd that companies that had at one point been members of the boring brigade (having static frontcaps - Granada, YTV, TT, STV) were going the other way at this point - whereas, other than Central the flashier companies didn't bother.

HTV Wales also had one for S4C, albeit just zooming out plus a reflection on the symbol (as HTV Cymru):

I'm thinking the Anglia flag billows like their ident for their animated endcaps - was that the case?
