A map of the UK, divided into the seven BBC regions of the time (North of England, English Midlands, West of England, London, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), fades in behind the blocks.

Visuals: On a white/black background is a globe. In the globe is 3 blocks saying ''B'', ''B'' and ''C''. Next to the blocks is ''tv''.
