It's interesting that Sesame Street was on Central that day. Central seemed to be the only region to stop showing it after 1983 while the other regions continued to show it, which was ironic considering their predecessors ATV actually commissioned its spin off The Muppet Show for ITV. I guess that they probably stopped showing it because of the zee/zed problem, or because it was an hour long without a advert break. Midlands viewers didn't see it again until Channel 4 started to show it in 1987.
It could be set in 1982 or January of 1983.

This is one of my favorite startup themes. Once I hear it, I can't get it out of my head.

What year was this?

That program menu surprised me a little. Firstly because this must have been pre TV-am, and secondly because Tiswas was on later than I'd thought.
