Nicknames: "CT Boxes III", "Part III: Will This Logo Ever Die?!", "Sliding Boxes", "Blue BG Boxes", "Day of the Boxes", "Cloudy Boxes", "Columbia Tristar III" Logo: We see a screen full of clouds forming, tossing about in a time-lapse.

The box then duplicates itself and the two boxes sl...
On some re-releases, if you listen very closely, you might hear the faint 1984 music from the 1980 logo humming over the logo and warning screen, due to poor plastering. Availability: Appears on VHS releases of BBC programs from the era, like Series 1 of Yes Prime Minister.
