this is the new version filmed in colour using step animation. previously it was done by removing a black cover which sat over the lwt logo. this was updated in 1972. also the kettledrum roll was added at the closing.
i've seen b/w episodes of Please Sir and On the Buses made in late 1970 (during the colour strike) and it is EXACTLY the same except for the ident film looking as though it had been pulled through a Hoover bag.
oh very funny. refering to babbage because you have YOUR facts wrong. when they reel a series the producers ident will be marked on that at the time of pressing, which is why you would also get the 1972 ident, which was not updated again until 1978 when it was revamped by ronnie hazelhurst in time for the launch of dempsey and makepeace.
I'm not referring to babbage. I HAVE On the Buses and Please Sir 1970 series on DVD. I WORKED at LWT in 2004 when they were transferring their archive to digital formats, so those tapes are the originals.
This ident WAS introduced in 1970 and here in the UK, we have ROCK HARD EVIDENCE, unlike you Americans seeing as you can't get such series over there on DVD.
Oh, and more proof that you didn't make this: If you did then you'd know that it's called "stop-frame animation", not "step animation".
By having DVDs of Please Sir, series 3 (broadcast October - December 1970).
The only programme I have before that from LWT is series 2 of Hark at Barker, which was broadcast in July 1970, and that used the previous white oval on orange background ident.
London Weekend Toothpaste. you can get the same effect with tube of colgate and a blackboard

Then you'd remember that you would have made it (which you didn't) in 1970, not 1972.

and one more thing - further evidence you are lying - D&MP started in 1984, not 1978 . . .

This first version of LWT's River ident was used between 1971 and 1978.
