Just been feeling really reflective lately and nostalgic for some reason, alot to do with suffering bad with anxiety recently i think and thinking about if i could have achieved more by now and ended up at this (my birth year) and my god what a simpler time that was. Brilliant this, thanks. 😊
well part of it could be the 24 hour news system we live in now in the past we never know about floods in china and stuff like + this was middle of cold war so a smiple mistake means we could of been vaporised in nuclear explosion at any second :)
Prisoner 145 had aired the night before. Sons and Daughters had been off air for a month and approx ep 290 of A Country Practice would have aired along with around The Young Doctors 180.
Sun 16 April is a contender for a postponed episode however looking at the schedule for that evening on Granada I imagine they would have probably had longer ITN News bulletins which all regions would have then had. This would have meant that the Prisoner episode was likely delayed by the length of the News extension. Local news may have been extended but this would have caused Granada to run slightly behind the rest of the network - and the Granada night regions would have needed a filler (waiting for Granada) if Granada had screened their Prisoner episode. The spring 89 Granada ep has been a mystery for a long time for me and judging by all the other Granada led Sunday night regions s screening their normal Prisoner episode - this leads me to assume that either Granada had a longer Granada Reports at 6.35pm and then ran behind the network with maybe a filler at midnight did half an hour while the others were screening their 11.30 hour long programme. Or possibly Granada had a longer religious/News themed show at 5.30pm (or two separate shows News and then religious) being that the city in question is a very Catholic city and it was a Sunday. Granada could have then been able to follow the network for the rest of the evening and then show the Corrie omnibus at 11.30pm. They will have wanted to show the Corrie repeat as it’s their own show but I’m sure that the evening/late afternoon schedule will have been altered to deal with the tragedy. This particular post is solely aimed at attempting to work out what date in early 1989 Granada TV failed to screen an episode of their twice weekly regional soap Prisoner: Cell Block H which did not affect other regions screening the show in spring 1989 at their own pace. The show was the easiest to dispose of if other news events occurred or other programmes over-ran. Full respect shown to the 97 souls who lost their lives and their families’ extremely long crusade for justice. Zero respect to the so called newspaper The Scum who I have never used in my historical TV programme research activities. JM.
@@jackmeadows7777 Another possibility is Sunday 30th April as some regions including Anglia showed football highlights at 00.05 and the football match concerned involved a team from the Granada region (Everton). Prisoner is listed in Granada though and YTV actually had a Bank Holiday screening on Monday 1st May along with Granada, Anglia, Central, Border, STV, Grampian, HTV too I think. TSW had paused the series until July.
A rare outing for John Suchet on News At Ten pre-its 1992 makeover, normally being on lunchtime duties of course. Must have been a long day!

@@jackmeadows7777 Would Granada have not aired Prisoner possibly on 16th April? They did postpone an episode in spring 1989.
