Though on weekends from Sunday they’re also showing Max Bygraves episodes (Series 6).I wonder if Series 7 of Family Fortunes (which is Les Dennis' first series and the one with the colour board) might also possibly feature the 1983 Central frontcap at the start of it or not?
This previous airing should answer your question if you ignore the fact its in stretchyvision:

Pretty sure 1988 onwards (maybe late 1987?) was when frontcaps finally fell off the network. of course Blockbusters went the whole hog and integrated Central's frontcap into the start of the titles (when they introduced the better known sequence), which meant that once the frontcap had been dropped the significance of starting on the globe was lost.
