Did any regions do their own thing at New Year in other years. Of course back then London didn't really bother with anything at all beyond the chimes of Big Ben - it's only since the Millennium really they've put any effort in.

They tried Des o'Conner in 1987, Cillia Black in 1988 and Goodbye to the 80s in 1989 ( that still had STV hog show 10mins before the bells)

In 1994 LWT had Richard Digance in Scotland, Trever McDonald in a palace in 96 but They ended up with Live from Edinburgh 97-02? I think ITV just give the ghost then
