An oddity for you. On the face of it, what appears to be a standard Nine O'Clock News - or Main News, in this case - from November 1983, but not quite.
AFAIK, Celtic's UEFA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest was being shown live on this particular evening - but only on BBC1 Scotland (7.10 - 9.20pm). Highlights were shown elsewhere via Sportsnight.
So, what follows is a Scottish-only network bulletin, shown at 10.20pm, while everyone else got the Nine as usual (a drama called Spyship filled the gap in Scotland between the football and the news)
Content wise, there's nothing particularly outstanding but at least it's evidence.
