Bit of an oddity for you - 'Anglia News Extra' in the West from August 1997 (with purple-themed titles rather than the usual blues and golds Anglia usually preferred)

IIRC, one or two regions experimented with longer late bulletins on Friday nights in the mid-late 90s - Meridian included - while others (London, Central, Scottish) shunted theirs to after midnight.
For the most part, Anglia's 'Extra' was taken up by longer reports and the odd feature, along with a longer sports preview.
