[00:00:00] IN-VISION CONTINUITY: a very brief glimpse of Andy Crane, Simon Potter and Simon Parkin linking into the programme.

[00:00:01] PROGRAMME: colourful brush strokes dominate this sequence. The programme’s titles had always featured a house, since its first edition in 1964. The already simple design evolved further in 1983 – not even any windows now, just a door.

Design by Tom Brooks.
