What is the music in the Hoverspeed ad? Is it Jean Michel Jarre?

[col2006ie]

@mrslmathers It's a cover version of Emerson Lake and Palmer's version of "Fanfare for the Common Man".

Did Central use an on-screen clock in those days: if so, why wasn't it used on the introduction of that night's News at Ten?

[AidanLunn]

I believe it was only used in the first few months of Central.

Who's doing v/o on the Hoverspeed ad?

AND...who's that babe doing the pres before the news?

[col2006ie]

The announcer, as mentioned in the blurb, is Su Evans. One of the main announcers at Central and ATV in the early 1980s.

Hoverspeed v/o sounds like Hannah Gordon, but not 100 per cent sure.

[agfagaevart]

You're probably right.
