BBC One Scotland Junction Between BBC News and Sportscene - 29th December 1990

A Christmas Junction from Saturday 29th December 1990 including BBC News, BBC Weather, promos and Sportscene.

First we see the end of the BBC News. A certain Mr David Davies is reading the sports section of the news. David is better known for his role as the Chief Executive of the Football Association (FA) in England.

After the news the BBC Weather is presented by Ian McCaskill. Promos then follow for upcoming programmes before the BBC 1 ident (known as the symbol) introduces Sportscene - The Road to Hampden presented by Dougie Donnelly.

The weather forecaster here isn't Michael Fish, that's infact Ian McCaskill.

@Halfbricktv2 Absolutely. Not sure why I had Michael Fish listed. Cheers!

The precise date of this clip is Saturday 29th December 1990. The turn-of-the-year Newbury fixture is returning to Saturday in 2011 to allow TV coverage (now on Channel 4 of course) - they should never have moved it to midweek, really.

Of course, the Stone of Scone/Destiny was returned to Scotland in 1996 as a sop by the Major govt, and the events of 1950 were dramatised in a 2008 film. There was no weekly English MOTD in this era so BBC Scotland clearly had to move Moonstruck much later.

@RobinCarmody thanks Robin although I did have the exact date listed in the video description. Glad you agree with me though.

The two most commons words in Scottish Football popped up again - Hibs nil. Haha

David Davies was one of the main presenters of BBC Midlands today

THEY'VE GOT TO BE THE WORST EVER SPORTSCENE OPENING TITLES, do you agree?
