Yes - they opened a Central shop in Derby and Nottingham - with much publicity.
Sadly, it was just a front desk and a hired hair do. There was no merch to buy at all.
I think I had a "Central News East" car window sticker....
I was just as dissapointed too.
Where were those Central shops? I've no memory of them so they must have gone by the 90s.
I remember Lincoln having a Yorkshire TV shop tho - alas closed on weekends. Didn't need to go in to enjoy the pictures of Richard Whiteley, Mike Morris, etc on the wall!
