they still air that, the dedication from Series 2 as its part of the episode.. there was another one in I think it was Series 6 but that was probably after the credits and may have been broadcast by Channel 4 playout at the time as that dedication has never been seen since.

There was - on the last show of Series 6 (for team captain Jim Alexander) - and from memory, it was done in a similar style to the dedication notice on Series 2 (for David MacPherson) and edited into the credits.

For some reason, I recall the closing link was slightly different on the original TX from the one that's appeared on the repeats (where Ed mentions it was the very last show in the series)

Actually, if you watch closely Ed's closing links, they sometimes seem to have been edited in from different recording sessions (clue's usually with the number of crystals on Ed's podium) - I'm guessing the running order of each series was decided after production wrapped, hence he would have needed to record separate sign-offs.
