  • This is surprisingly (and amusingly) camp by today's standards, but, if this programme were on the air today... I'd watch it!

  • @ericdn62782 Check out my Sarah Kennedy-presented Day by Day for high camp!

  • Love the theme music and Cliff at the end there looking like he was going to throttle a member of the crew for playing the VT late. Great stuff.

  • @putthetellyon1 Telecine in those days. No VT on Day by Day!

  • They must have got a lot of change out of £5 for that set.

  • @Texbaslery Having watched this why does that not come as any surprise to me. And to think the girl who lived next door to me had a crush on him ;o)

  • Cheap-looking set. But a nice looking cheap set.

  • What a superb theme song

  • LOL! Chris Peacock – or Crispy Cock. The man forever remembered as famously being admitted to the A&E Dep't of Southampton General Hospital with part of an electric toothbrush inserted into a place where parts of electric toothbrushes should normally never venture regardless of tartar – obviously trying to give someone the brush-off! Then there's Veronica "Ronnie" Charlwood – had a wine drinkers palate but also a beer drinkers consumption. Knew how to blow into the bag if you catch my drift.

  • 1980...incredible how things have changed in that time...

  • So how did that work? Cliff Michelmore was the presenter but the programme is opened by Chris Peacock from the same desk/seat?

  • I think people are judging this through modern-day eyes. Watching this I see no difference in style with my local news programme Calendar. That was regional ITV news back then. TVS did do better but they benefitted from the boom in ENG over film. Day by Day was consistently voted the best regional ITV news programmes in the 1970's by viewers questioned by the IBA so they must have done something right.
