BBC Newsround Challenger Disaster 1986 (Brief Clip)
Loading...
Uploaded by mpwheatley on Sep 16, 2006
This is a very brief video (all that remains I'm afraid) of the BBC's breaking news of the Challenger disaster on January 28th 1986. Surprisingly, it was reported first on the children's news programme Newsround, with Roger Finn rather than by the BBC's regular television news service.

Why is Rob Lowe presenting Newsround?

@ShelbySPB Yep, we admit it. Although your 'All in the Family' was ripped off from our 'Till Death Us Do Part'

Phillip Schofield looks 12 years old.

Remember this so clearly, like it was yesterday. I cried when I watched it. And how cute were the young Phil Scofield and Roger Finn?
Proof that we didn't always think that children needed their telly programmes dumbed down for them. Tell them the truth with a straight face and they can handle it.

@zemarnah I do too! Remember calling out to my Mum who was in the kitchen... I was nine at the time.

I remember watching this, the news just coming through...

The Challenger disaster was a sad day for Americans. What I learned from this clip, however, was that the UK ripped off our Cookie Monster. Explain yourselves!

This is where I first heard about the Shuttle tragedy watching this very episode. I remember thinking, it must have just happened minutes ago as there was no other news or programmes reporting it. As soon as this great news programme for kids finished, the Beeb and ITV were flooding with reports and news about it. Sad and tragic it was but quite a scoop kid's programme. Praise to the controllers for not looking down just because it was in a children's slot and letting them run with it.

Sadly, news has become a competitive sport these days. It's all about one-upmanship over actually getting the facts right.
