GMB is perhaps the only programme that continues that (I suspect much to the disgust of STV!)

Think I asked this before though, Scotch had a"lifetime guarantee" on their tapes so far as the infamous "re record not fade away" adverts said. Presumably this is still valid? 
This is the way it's going to be after all. Every recording as good as the first, or they'll give you a new tape. I'll ring their headquarters in the morning and ask to be put through to Mr Guyler from the skeleton team.

In 2008 they still said they would send out replacement BASF tapes - https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2008/02/01/scotchs-lifetime-guarantee-rerecord-not-fade-away/

We once bought some BBC branded video cassettes. Suddenly, our VCRs developed appetites, and started to chew the tapes....
I can still picture dad and me with the tops off our VCRs, trying to disentangle the tapes from the machine!
An old Digital Spy post suggests the Sky branded video tapes were made by a company called Gemini Products and the quality of the tapes were apparently questionable at best as they were dirt cheap, as opposed to the likes of Scotch which, like everything else in this life, you get what you pay for. Those TDK tapes weren't too bad though, I've still a few of them I need to plough through to see what, if anything I can bang on YouTube.

I really like the BBC One "Oneness" era.

Here's some to get you started. Top to bottom:
Actual BBC logo
Nadiya's British Food Adventure
Doctors

Let’s be honest here, we could fill an entire book with examples of wrong BBC logos at the start and end of programmes.

The damned thing has spread like a virus.
That's the dreaded 'C-too-high' version that I am pretty sure started off life as a bad SVG vector graphic someone made for Wikipedia to represent the BBC logo on its articles.
Here's another example from some Nigel Slater programme a few years ago

I seem to recall it continuing on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway for a long while after most programmes had dropped it, but I'm not sure if they were still doing it at the end of the last series.
Do we have a TV Forum Stone of Shame?
