BBC Micro Live 1986 - Computer Animation

Feast your eyes on Fred Harris (remember him?) and these 80s computers, on BBC Micro Live from 1986. It's amazing how dated this now looks, but at the time the graphics looked pretty decent!

This clip features Maggie Philbin (she was also on Swap Shop in the 70s) messing around with the Fairlight CVI Video computer. The effects are pretty impressive, and looked just fantastic in those days!

80s Theme Tune

This was my favourite Tomorrow's World theme tune as it had that futuristic electro sound, which was perfect for a show that reviewed/pre-viewed futuristic products.

Tomorrow's World Theme Tune - 1986

Despite the video stating 1987, I believe this theme tune was actually introduced in 1986, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it! It has lost the more electronic sound of the earlier versions, which is a great shame. Too Conservative for my liking, but then these were the Thatcher years!
