Karen Roberts-Marshall was her name.
The opening night major gimmick was based around selling a car or purporting to be selling a car at least. They had in the studio a green VW Beetle. Whilst it was showing to have an item number, what actually was going on was it was a local car dealer selling the car and allowing it to be showcased on the channel. Whether it was ever sold as a result of being on air, I don’t know. As I recall, the only car they sold that evening directly, was a scale model of a VW green Beetle. Sad for me, when I look back at the video footage of which there is some online. I actually recorded the whole thing, and I still have it on a VHS tape somewhere. A lot changes in your life in 20 years and that is where the sadness kicks in. Also seeing Whatters, now knowing he was only four or five years from the end of his life, is very poignant, too. I am not sure this place was up and running then, but I do remember posting some stuff about the opening night on a shopping telly forum of some description, or was it on Digital Spy? Can’t remember now.
