I agree with Paulomac, The 5:45 in the late 70s/early 80s, when Michael Nicholson and Leonard Parkin alternated as the main hosts was ITN at its best. Sadly, Leonard Parkin died of cancer in 1993. I wonder what Michael Nicholson is doing now?
Deffo this best newsreader 4 ever. They had what it takes, I always remembered coming from school & this theme & News at One were very Jazzy. My nan didnt like being disturbed when News at One was on
Another great memory restored. Loving the tune - this is the most unique news music out there to date. Fab electronic retro synths and very unpredictable, its great!
Lovely theme tune

The reporter in the movie Welcome to Sarajevo was based on this guy. Great movie if you can get hold of it.

Great clip! Do you have any more BBC or ITN bulletins from the 1970s and 1980s? If you do it would be great if you could put them up. Many thanks.
