Still baffles me how it managed to get on air at all, to be honest.
Not that all timeshifted Pres from Manchester was bad - Nigel Jay (RIP) seemed very at home doing a late ‘shift’ one night (although from what I recall, they did use Acrobats time and again)
Definitely recall the late film (a Sandra Bullock comedy called Forces of Nature) being intro’d and played out locally.
There was also a run of Saturday nights during that era when Rugby League Raw (imported from YTV) went out after MOTD - complete with burnt-in ECP for The Super League Show - and that was played out from Oxford Road (by which point, Fiona Trott was usually heard on con duty)
