===Series 3 (1985)===
This series saw a change in the title sequences. The "Morning world..." monologues by Jim have been removed, and the opening video is the video of the closing titles for the previous two series; the closing titles for this series is the opening titles in reverse so instead of zooming into Jim, the camera zooms out.
