Great stuff! That tune has been in the back of my mind for more than 40 years. I much prefer the restrained delivery of that generation of news readers--Gordon Honeycombe, Andrew Gardiner, Richard Baker, Kenneth Kendall, et al. They enunciated clearly and didn't get in the way of the news.
Reginald Bosanquet , John Suchet , Andrew Gardner with Alastair Burnet and Gordon Honeycombe - Things were more formal but perhaps better then ;at least they were not forced to talk about "Breaking news " !
Name the presenters?? I'm not old enough! LOL!! Interesting how such a 'jolly' tune could be used for the news though! It's played by L'Orchestre Devereaux (1947)
how weird is this...Mike and I were jsut talking about this tune the other day....and singing it...well humming it...ye ken what I mean...hey could ye name awe the presenters ?
