‘Straight Up’ was, as the intro implied, a weekly current affairs show for young people - ran for one summer series, produced by Meridian, in the 1.10pm slot usually taken by Jonathan Dimbleby.
Think that was one of the last shows in it’s only run (Nick Knowles was already fairly well established as a regional reporter for TVS / Meridian - think he had his own local show by that point, RidgeRiders)
Don’t recall any networked idents from that weekend, just the menu rundowns - even the PP clip includes Trish announcing “This is London Weekend Television” (over a sombre version of their ident) - most local continuity, by and large, resumed in the evening.
