I can't believe how wonderfully lucky I am. Thank you. I am writing a crime novel set in 1981. The guy needs an alibi for 10 o'clock on 24th June. He said I was watching the news, Oh yes said the detective What was on. WOW... thank you davidmcn ... what a coincidence! Thank you

[EvoPogo]

0:06 is a pirate!!!

beware kids

[KB7KB7KB7]

LOL, look at all those old shit cars. I was 1 year old when this was on TV...haha

[Gregz0r1]

@KB7KB7KB7 The cars throughout the entire 1980's were all about sharp, angular lines, lol. It was as if curves had been banned.

[ajuk1]

@Gregz0r1 1980s not 1980's

[Gregz0r1]

@ajuk1 Wow. If you're being *that* pedantic, shouldn't it also be "1980s, not 1980's."?

[The1985Channel]

@KB7KB7KB7 Actually the buses don't look a lot different to today's in my opinion.

[markyscot1979]

Mass unemployement. The country's economy in Recession and trouble in the middle east. Nice to see a lot has changed lol!!

[eduardoisland]

And... ooh! who's that young attractive News reader? Not Selina Scott by any chance?

Not the same Selina Scott who in 2009 is complaining about young, attractive females being preferred to 60 yr old dried up has beens?

Weren't exactly fighting the cause for dried up 60 yr olds in 1981 were you Selina?

Hypocritical twat.

[markyscot1979]

Indeed she was not.

Must say shes not really aged too well I was shocked when I saw her goin on about ageism She aged really badly even since was on Sky News. Must have had hard paper round lol!!

[RenKinRaM]

[amigolakota1974]

fuck me ,this brings back memories thanks for this

[Niheth]

lol ur old

[danny88101]

Did they not show footage from Parliament in those days?

[davidmcn]

Nope, they didn't allow cameras in until 1989.

[eduardoisland]

I wonder if Selina Scott was campaigning for older news readers in 1981?

Or was she happy being a young 20 something news reader earning loadsa dosh and in the lime light ?

[jmorrison230582]

@davidmcn

They did have radio recordings then. I'm not sure why they had someone read out comments rather than play the audio clips.

[syrett76]

haha Is that an IBook 9.15

[CesarPaleAss]

I Love her accent. It is absolutly clear pronunciation, and also very harmonious.

I totally agree with Asurris

[DavidTL]

I do too, I think it's a good, clear way of speaking that everyone can understand. However, I still personally feel that there are not enough regional accents on the television. It's always snotty, stuck-up southerners, and rarely anyone else.

[RobinCarmody]

Southern accents still dominate, but it's much more Estuary/Mockney/Bluntish (my term for the speech of young posh people - obvious who it's after) than old-school RP these days.

[jmasl7]

Selina Scott god help us

Amazing that someone with such an accent was taken seriously on TV as recently as 1981!

[AsurrisProductions]

i take her more seriously than the retards of odd intonation that we have now

[mellysingsdoom]

Trouble in Israel-Palestine, waste of taxpayer's money on large projects, mediocre 'debate' in the House of Commons - really, nothing changes at all, does it?

[slimes23]

It must be remmebered that bahaviour in the house has improved since the introduction of TV cameras there.

[dreamcastII]

thanks for putting this up. VERY important to put new on like this !!

[5starsnitskymatch]

Michael Foot.... HAHAHAH

[lostinbass4]

love the eye patch!

[agfagaevart]

If only we had MPs in UK parliament with eye patches. This is a fantastic historical artifact: Charles & Di, escaped prisoners, Wimbledon, the man who shot at the queen, wow what an edition! I'd forgotten about the great reporters too: Joan Thirkettle (RIP), Jeremy Hands, Ken Rees. Selina Scott? Um...no.

[lostinbass4]

your just a dishcloth for the primeminister! haha! this is the funniest thing ever!
