Regular cue-dot, starts at 23:30 in that video.
There was probably going to be a series in 1994 but it never happened. I always presumed ITV had done its usual thing of wanting a total relaunch of something that had been on the air for forever and a day and use the failure of the relaunch as an excuse to kill the show off. After all, 1995 wasn't just a rebrand of Krypton, it was a total demolish and rebuild job.

The Wheel of Fortune cue dot has been on all episodes so far but only at the end, not end of part one. I am surprised it works as a cue dot, it's not overly prominent and the animation is more subtle than the usual black and white flasher. Maybe by 1988 the end cue dot was less important that the middle one anyway. They were back to normal cue dots by 1989, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZmdGWWSSU. Maybe Carole Smilie insisted on it. The only 1988 episode I have found on Youtube is this Christmas special, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQoEjGGw9gY, but the picture quality is so bad, I can't make out the cue dot anyway..

Something similar happened at the end of the Krypton Factor this morning. Gordon said his goodbye and they cut in to the credits. I assume what was cut was the advertisement for applicants for the next series or something but this was the 1993 group c final episode and there wasn't a series in 1994.
