This music is almost the same as the opening logo, except there is a little extra at the beginning and the end. At the beginning, you can hear the synth notes going upwards mixed with the sound of either bar chimes or a bell tree. And at the end of it, you can almost hear the synth "strings" humming away, while the extended fanfare plays. I'll use that for the remake as well, along with the sound effects.
Does anyone know what the purpose of that FPA code at the end of the tape is? Something like that appears at the end of my copy of The Incredible Voyages of stingray which was released by Channel 5 video.
FPA is probably some sort of reference code used to identify the tape contents. 05 11 86 means the tape was duplicated on November 5th, 1986. 750 probably means the tape is 750m long
I don't know what "FPA" stands for, but the "05/11/86" is almost certainly the date when this copy of that videotape was made and the "750" is either the serial number of the machine that made the recording, or it was the 750th tape recording made that day by BBC Enterprises. This is so that if a fault develops on one of those machines goes unnoticed or there is a faulty batch of tapes, they can work out which machine is faulty or which recordings made on which dates were affected by any faulty tapes returned to them, then get in touch with their sales agents and demand a recall of tapes with recordings made on [[this date]] or [[this machine]]. Frequently the same information was printed on the bottom side of the cassette, so if a recall is initiated, retailers don't have to trawl through videotapes by playing them one-by-one in VCRs, they can just look at the same information printed on the bottom of the videotape. Much quicker.

There's an early version without the fade of the star being erased, it just draws out of existence.
I will Use that also on my series of Bunny! The adventures of a little toy rabbit
I think it represents the quality.
It actually didn't scare me when I saw it for the first time.
Released in 1985
I am actually used to seeing the closing animation.
There is a shadow effect for the star on this variant.
Restored plz without vhs noise

ur not the only one. it used 2 scare me too when i was little!
I was also scared of this watching old VHS tapes in the 2000s

The copyright reads 1985.
Of course it does. This logo variant was used in 1984 until 1988.
The logo was used from 1981 up until 1988, the musical jingle was used from 1984 to 1988.
And the print date at the end reads 05-11-86.
@@stickytapenrust6869 i like that jingle it's going to be used from 1981 to 1988
@Meanmanmartin2007 "05 - 11 - 86"? It looks like a date if you ask me. Not sure what the "750" represents, though.
And why is there an FPA at the end of the tape? What does the FPA in it stand for?

@Shay McCusker Because that’s when this title was released. This individual tape was recorded in 1986
@stickytapenrust6869 750 metre long tape
Am sorry for the late reply but many thanks for explaining.
Come to think of it it does seem to indicate the date that the tape was issued.
W......What the? When does Revenge Of The Cybermen begin?!
Exactly!
That used to scare me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same!
MCMLXXXV=1985
