The promo was recorded during a commercial break in the screening of the 1967 revisionist western film "Hombre"; it was shown on TV One at 12.50am on the morning of Sunday 7 February 1993.

I have to apologise to you all for the quality of the picture and sound as the video was recorded off my phone.
