[James2001]

That Heathcliff thing in there is one of the strange things that there were two completely different Heathcliff cartoons made within only around 3 years of each other- the one seen here is the lesser remembered of the two, the Ruby Spears one. I remember the other, more well remembered DiC produced one being a mainstay of the 6AM pre-Channel 4 Daily slot around 1991/92 (and me getting in trouble and sent back to bed for watching it!). I think Mel Blanc's voice was the only thing the two versions had in common.

Why the same comic was adapted twice in such a short space of time seems quite strange. The only time I ever remember seeing the Ruby Spears version was as a filler on CN, and even then only once or twice (though a look on Genome it seems CBBC showed it in 1999/2000 as well, which I don't remember. They also showed the DiC version until 1991... which I also can't remember, I only remember Channel 4 showing it!).

Also promos for the post-9PM slot there, which I think was only available on digital, which was in its infancy at this point (I think this must have been recorded from digital, as you have the looped ident that was played at 9PM, which goes into more CN programming rather than TNT). At this time the VERY short lived general entertainment TNT channel would have been post-9PM on analogue- I think it only lasted around 6 months before becoming TCM (which was also digital only during those few months).
