Nope, that's from the 1991-2 era. They'd been live since 1987.

Thanks Billy,
My memory did serve me incorrectly then! Thanks for putting me right.

here are the videos of the central reports from the past couple of days.

Central at 50 - Crossroads

Central at 50 - Birmingham Museum Central TV Exhibition

Central at 50 - Announcers / Childrens

didn't bother capturing today's report about central news as it was shorter and mainly a *old presenter comes in to praise how fantastic things are nowadays* affair.

Isn't anyone commenting on Central's ITV50 stuff ?

V.Interesting!

How long is that exhibition at Brum Musuem going on for, & is it free?

It's looking brilliant - I'm tempted to get the train down there from skegness especially to see it!

I hope some video captures do appear of this weeks features, as I was relying on the super secret itv news download site, but it seems to have been abandoned.

YAY! Now there's an idea - how about a Central West and BBC Midlands outing? Me, Stu, tvmercia and Westy - and we'll all go and do our best Bob Warman impressions at the exhibition.

ill only come if we all dress up as our favourite central celebrity. I'm going as su evans, i fear even with my super su perm stuart's natural hair-do will put me to shame

Curly hair! Me ! Nay nay & thrice nay

I'll have to try listening to 'Fleawatch' on WM tomorrow.

Of all the people that had to 'present' the slot, it had to be Mollie

Did anyone catch 'Dodgy Degsy' Acorah on with Danny Kelly the other day?

I only knew because my boss caught a mention on the way back from lunch.

2 Scousers together in the same building !

Is there anything missing?

These Scousers will nick anything (allegedly!)

I'm sure someone 'in the know' will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got the impression yesterday that the flea incident has been exaggerated!

Jane mentioned to Mollie on air, that either Beech or Pollock had words with her later that morning, but they appreciated that Jane had nothing to with it!

Naughty Mollie, if it's true.

(Apparantly the bonking couple on top of a Brum city centre building story was another exaggeration, but the Sun picked it up too! Is that true?)

Well according to certain posts it looks like Suzanne is off to London. Apparently she's taken a post on Breakfast. I can't confirm any of this but the Breakfast thread is interesting.

Doolan's 'Other Side Of' was Bonnie Langford, which I missed

God Shabina's carp ain't she !

Stutter this, trip over that & as for the travel news, it's pronounced Carma, but spelt Caldmore!

(It's also the prozzie district of Walsall, not that I've had first hand experience I hasten to add !)

central's broad st studios. the council use it as a lost children's collection point during big events - so it wouldnt surprise me if the council have put it to other uses.

I think that shows just how fabulous central is compared to boredom who couldn't even be arsed to make a title sequence

Tyne Tees did something similar with Pam Royle walking around studio 5.
