TV Heaven presents "In Vision", the television review segment, from BBC1's Breakfast Time programme. Originally transmitted on the morning of 18th February 1985, it includes an overview of the new look schedule coming to BBC1 during the week ahead and includes trailers for brand new programmes "Wogan" and "Eastenders" as well as the return of favourites "Are You Being Served?" and "Only Fools and Horses".
By 1983 it was decided, following a successful introduction of computer generated graphics to BBC2, to replace the mechanical BBC1 globe to a new computer originated world (or COW). It was intended to be launched on 1 January 1985 but was delayed until 18 February that year by the then controller of BBC One, Michael Grade, in order to make part of a new look for the channel and a new evening lineup, including Wogan and EastEnders. From start-up until 6:00pm that evening, the older mirror globe was used. From 7:00pm until closedown that night, the newer COW globe was used. The first programme to be introduced by this new globe was Wogan, a chat show presented by Terry Wogan.
