ITV Central continuity and adverts - Tuesday 16th February 1988

2 new tapes has been discovered yesterday during a day out at Ludlow. Of course, I couldn't resist and buy them at £2 each. But both turned out to be worth the price. The first one is from February 1988, with a lot of classic and memorable adverts (hence I've included the advert breaks from the film). Of course, it was Central, it was the one to watch. As first seen in the August 1985 idents and featured until the mid-1988 changeover.

Quality film - Play Misty for Me

Was this Central East region, Central West region or was this Central South region

[@DanielMullins-c4s1]

Because Central South did not launch at the time, this is from the west.
