I thought there was a revamp between the black, white and red look of 1989 and the IMO best version between 1993 and 1996?
I remember they had the film reel titles with the studio desk having a thistle at each end was that 1991 to 1993?
No I think that was kept until 1991 as 1991 was the new revamp as I think that was when Viv Lumsden joined.
Ah thanks - yeah I thought it was kept a while longer than 1990 but I was not always around the Central Belt back then.
623058, the red look I was referring to was the look before the film reel titles.
I cant see a red look on tv ark? which video is that suppose to be?
The video directly above where it says 1990s and the last one saying 1980s - Mike Gower reading afternoon bulletin from 1987. Shame there is no main edition video. I quite like the titles back then. Viv and Shereen used to present this version a lot.

I think TV ark has got the date wrong for that video....
Yes she did. I think I am correct in saying that Jackie Bird was Viv's replacement on BBC Reporting Scotland in 1989?
I think the green titles was brought in after the couches, as David Scott had just became Head of News and wanted to make his mark...So would that have been circa 1986? As that's what the Documentary from 2002 says as well.

Perhaps so - yet this was definitely the look late 1989 like I had said at the start of my posts relating to this matter.
Shame you have no (and I cannot find any) links Youtube or otherwise with what I like to call (sound like Patricia Hodge in Miranda) the red look.
Edit - in fact your post with the link into 30 years of Scotland Today shows a different look to the one you post for 1988. It really is a shame we cannot seem to get a better video of this 'red' era. Hey ho
