Tomorrow's World broadcasts live from an operating theatre where a patient is undergoing laser eye surgery. Back in the studio, Raymond Baxter hosts a debate on the benefits of drilling for North Sea gas to solve the fuel crisis. He also appraises the latest in futuristic fashions, aided by model Shirley. Derek Cooper reports on an undersea robot that's being used to perform maintenance on drilling platforms, looks at research into the effect of wind pressures on tall buildings and visits a forward-looking pub that uses computerised telephones to take patrons' orders.
