[show]After the bomb blast episode the original still photograph was temporarily reinstated for the end credits sequence with frequent touch-ups so the picture reflected first the devastation of the bomb blast, and then the ensuing repairs to the building. First the deli was shown to be burnt out, later the smashed windows were shown to be boarded-up and then replaced as these events occurred in the series.

[show]The end titles featured a shot of the exterior of the apartment block that represented Number 96 in the show. The camera zooms in for a close-up of the front window of one apartment, pauses, then and pans to each apartment in turn, with the actors credits appearing over the window of the apartment in which their character resides. When characters left the series and an apartment was left vacant at the end of an episode, question marks would appear for that apartment in the credit sequence. When this occurred Channel Ten would be swamped by calls from fans asking to move in to the vacated apartment.
