This was the last BBC1 closedown to use the 'physical' colourised globe, as BBC1's new identity started the following evening, along with new weather graphics. Uploaded here 30 years later, give or take a few hours! Ref:XT3/22/00:19
Prefer the more charming style of this mechanical and slide scanner era of TV continuity, before computer graphics took over and everything went slick and corporate.
Likely because the actual model has appeared since it's phase out on the evening of 17/02/85. It was seen on BBC One Northern Ireland's final analogue transmission in October 2012 but yeah, that can be probably why Scott said 1981-2008.
Actually, no. Neighbours was first shown in 1986 and Eastenders was first shown the day after the COW Globe launched. Wogan was in the Eastenders slots (the two shows alternated throughout the week)
That's strange because it was the previous ident (Yellow and blue with the white Futura Bold "BBC1" ) which was used exclusively throughout his reign as the Doctor. It debuted on the same day as part one of Robot (28/12/74) and was replaced by the one in this video on 5th September 1981, which meant it even introduced the final set of Tom Baker Summer repeats - Full Circle and The Keeper of Traken.
