The good old days before 24 hour rolling news. Factual, honest and straight to the point without all the false sentiment, opinion and over analysis we have to suffer today.
I've had this on DVD for some time, but I thought it was BBC News (didn't recognise the newsreader), I've changed my records now ... I know the date though, it's Thursday 28th December 1967 (when most people went back to work on the 27th, because New Year wasn't a bank holiday or a major event outside Scotland).
I really liked Reggie, he's the only man in history who's real-life horizontal hold went.

I think this is from a transfer of Sony CV2000 tapes from about 1967 that have been doing the rounds the last couple of years.
The man at the start is the Duke of Edinburgh.

Reginald wore an almost undetectable wig.

Poor Babs Beverly looked in a bad way, I don't suppose they'd be so intrusive today. Anyone know who the man was?

Would love to have seen more of that, do you happen to know what happened to the rest of the tape?

Who is the man at the start of the video? Also, that picture of the injured woman looks bad, but I checked and she's still alive which is good.

Old Reggie was a phenomenal pisshead. He would often drink a bottle of whiskey and have to be dragged from a bar to get him on air.
They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Small wonder that, when Benny Hill impersonated him for a parody of "News at Ten" in 1971, he spoofed his name as "Reginald Boozenquet."

I remember this news reader very well even though I must have been 6 or 7 years old.
I remember that the sun newspaper called him either a sex symbol amongst women or was voted sexiest newsreader.

TV is so poor now [the content, not the improved resolution] that, if I could, I would leave it on a permanent 1967 wavelength.
