Found a date for this - Tuesday 2nd June 1987; so this clip comes close to Leonard Parkin's retirement (on Friday 17th July 1987).
"Hindsight" was a Border Television production for the network, and as mentioned, "That's My Dog" was from TSW, also for the network. A sad irony to see these two companies with networked show back-to-back, considering there are now no local ITV programmes at all, never mind networked programmes, which come from Carlisle or Plymouth.
I love the way that the news has posh state-of-the-art (at the time) graphics and apart from the knight Anglia had bits of card with stuff stuck to them!
Thats a great looking clock. The anglia knight is a work of art, very bold, and promotes the channel to be like that. Shame I live in the Granada region and couldn't see it.

You don't get newsreaders like Leonard Parkin these days. It was like being given the day's events by an erudite and cultured chap.

Great clip. Do you have any more BBC or ITN bulletins from the late 1970s or early 1980s? If so I'd love to see them. Many thanks.

Nowadays, a programme called "That's My Dog" could be about Jodie Marsh! Sorry Jodie. Mike S.
