I have a hunch it was BBC East but I'm not sure why, or possibly an outpost like Bangor. (Not a region, of course).
Other theory is BBC East Midlands, which at that time was a sub opt/Contribution into Midlands Today.
I would imagine there was a stronger drive to upgrade to colour, as it was such a massive, universally noticeable step-change in TV.
There seem to be lots of people who can’t tell the difference between SD and HD, and those who are happy to watch a stretched 4:3 picture in 16:9, but surely there’s nobody who didn’t notice when a programme was in black and white rather than colour.
