I’m thinking that this is actually an *afternoon* N2 junction, rather than an early evening one.
16 April 2000 was a Sunday, and according to the listings in that day’s Sunday Independent, Sunday Tribune and Sunday World, and the previous day’s Evening Herald, Beverly Hills 90210 aired at 1:35 that afternoon.
The preceding show, featuring in the first 22 seconds of this clip, was the music show 2TV.
(With thanks to my British Newspaper Archive subscription.)
Thank you Des. The page has been updated with those additional details.
