Excellent post. My favourite year...Loving the ads and continuity at the end...I remember those days when the news was just presented in a no nonsense way unlike today when you get one hour of drivel and awful presenters and it's repeated over and over and over and coming up...
They didn’t have 24/7 news channels back then so there was no news to repeat.
My favourite year is 1978
Sandy Gall and Michael Brunson in London and Alistair Burnet in Salisbury/Harare
Wish I jump into the screen back into 1980
"Man At The Top" from Hammer's Movies-based-on-TV-series period.
Sandy Gall coming up to 96 years old. It's in the genes. Or chilled ITN water.
Wow those Club adverts bring back memories as does TWA. I remember going to Los Angeles 1st time in 1988 when I turned 11. Rare Michael Brunson was in studio reading the news was so used to him on the road.
Nostalgic news
Was any News At Ten being broadcast during the 1979 strike?
Nope, because the ITN staff were also ACTT union members.
@@rtcp2020 Dunno. Google it.
Sandy Cole,brilliant news acker,he had a fair head of hair.
Only 53 , looking late 60s then, great newsreader though,, when presenters got jobs on ability and not enforced representation.
Presenters now get the job on ability and not “forced representation”, they don’t just pull any old Joe Public off the streets to read the news!
I met him once in the mid-eighties at the Houses of Parliament and told him I'd written a story about him. He asked 'Was it flattering?'
One thing the lifeboats know lots about rubber boats.
18:46 printing money... a message for our times
MUGABE BACKWARDS E BA GUM!
Brexiteers had a SHORT MEMORY, eh? Common Market saved your arses more than once.
Brexiteers did (and still do) have a short memory. And are easily convinced by those in power that they both have something in common. Classic Tory strategy of “divide and rule” to pit those who work for their living against those they *think* don’t work.
you're talking crap. firstly that was the common market(EEC) not the European union which is a different entity. secondly we paid in to the EEC pot in the first place any money we got back wasn't a free gift.
