Central Closedown - 8th November 1985

I never thought I'd see an advert for one of my transfer video machines! After all, 3V48s were as rare as hen's teeth back then! :)

The film just finished is Sam Fuller's 'The Big Red One'. Check it out.

I think "Aladdin" The Animated Film Is From Walt Disney Pictures In 1992.

"Bambi" Is The Animated Film From Universal Pictures In1942. Central Television closes and it turns to 24 hour TV In The Late 1980's.

Never seen the "cake" version of the Good Night caption - though it looks like the blue/purple pieces are the same colour.

Sounds like Paul Veysey signing off.

Yes, I recognised Paul V's voice, and only didn't mention it because as usual I was mentioning everything else and forgot.

Jack Haig was seriously considered for the role of Corporal Jones - he did make at least one appearance in Dad's Army, as well as a regular role in 'Allo 'Allo which would have boosted his name at this point.

I'll probably get flamed as a bitter old socialist, but I always hate BUPA ads.

Severn Sound is now Heart but all the other stations remain, at least in name, mainly because they overlapped with the existing Heart regional stations. And it would turn out to be a very cold November.

@RobinCarmody very soon none will remain as brmb beacon mercia and wyvern will rebrand as 'free radio' carrying the same network except for news sport traffic
