I can confirm that this is from the night of Saturday 10th September 1988, early hours of Sunday 11th. The Italian Grand Prix was on 11th September 1988 and the Guardian listings confirm that 'The Four-Minute Mile' was shown on that date.

3:39 Griff Rhys Jones starts his nightly duty with the glass.

series 4 of Bread started airing 18th September 1988, so 11th Sept would fit in as being the last episode of a series 3 repeat.

No this is without doubt December 1986.

Well I've asked him to date this clip yesterday, so he might be able to do it today. He uses online sources like the Times Digital Archive to date clips

How are you sure this is 1988? This symbol was used between February 1985 and February 1991

Well, seeing as Bread was on Sundays at 8:35 for series 3 (1987), series 4 (1988) series 5 (1989) and series 6 (1990) . . .
Secondly, the announcer mentions the last in the series of Bread - which in 1988 was on Sunday December 3rd, so this would have been saturday December 2nd 1988 *if* it was 1988.

Sorry but I'm a bit of a cretin.

and it might not even be 1988, as Bread was transmitted in the same timeslot in 4 consecutive years.
