How long did Tyne Tees use that rare clock during late 1988 before it was later changed to a cyan on blue one from December 1988?

Wasn’t aware of that, to be honest - think Paul was OOV-only on Central, though?
Apparently, he is now a collector and dealer specialising in original film posters.
Meanwhile in Granadaland, The Young Doctors was given a send off of sorts from John McKenzie when it finally reached the end of its run.

The YouTube user avp1969 has uploaded a ton of clips today, many seen years ago on MHP Private Parts, but I don’t recall seeing this clip before. For context, a junction from Thames in 1991, presumably the start of the penultimate night of in vision continuity from Thames before the ITV Night Time branding took over the following week:

I remember that IVC link - he said something like “If you all say ‘ahh’, I’ll check your pulse!”

Wasn't sure whether this better fitted pres or programming, but here goes.
A clip from the launch night of Granada's Night Time over five regions - the exception being UTV, who still had to wait several weeks before they linked up.
That evening's Night Network was a live OB from the London Astoria and appears more concerned with celebrating its first birthday on air in London, East Anglia and the South than welcoming its new northern viewers.
Night Network would end six months later.

How could that Night network be live? LWT started it at 1am, While everyone else come in at 2am.. Did they have to have another intro for the network?

At some point, the first hour became a London-only segment, IIRC.

I believe the first hour become London only segment when the ITV network started to take the programme, and the Sunday edition was axed around the same time.
1988:
1am: James Wales ( Friday) / hitman and her (sat) ( TVS was filler)
2am Night network
4am Filler on Friday night / Sat - Hit man and her
5am morning news
The real trouble started in early 1989.. when the Saturday edition was moved to much later time slot, in most areas.
Just after midnight Hitman and her
2am FILM
4-6am Night network
TVS, and Anglia had this line up:
1am: Filler
2am: Night network
4am: Hit man and her
I don't see why LWT pulled it as when it first started in 1987 It only played out to them and 2 other areas.
