Bush Snr on News At 10 1991

This is a very short old video clip showing the begining of the ITN News At 10 on ITV recorded April 3rd 1991; 2 years before the American, British and French began bombing raids in Southern Iraq. It is a short headline about President Bush Snr refusing to enter war with Iraq, sadly the actual news feature was not recorded. The first Gulf War started August 2nd 1990 when Saddam Hussein's Iraq invaded Kuwait.

This is the weirdest coincedence ever... I have a recording of the exact same news program in full from 3/4/91, although I think it may be from earlier in the day (it was just after they showed "The Goonies" if that helps). Maybe you'd be interested? I can also tell you that this was the same day Graham Greene died.

Yes, me too! I had The Goonies on VHS from way back (1991) and this news clip was on there just after it, unfortunately this clip is all I had, although there is the bit about Graham Greene (that's how I got the date right by Googling the date he died).

[mubd1234]

No, because Saddam is dead and Thatcher is out of office.

Looks a bit like a send up doesn't it?

[AnthonyUK]

I would love to see a send up of the NAT opening;

ITN in three Urdu letters,

flying into a shot of pakistan and flying thru the country into a mosque dome with an islamic clock and a asian rendition of the news at ten theme and on the clock News At Ten in squiggly Urdu lights up underneath the dome with the clock face on 10pm and for the bongs an asian drum sounds with headlines in Urdu being read by an Urdu newsreader. That would be a laugh!!!

I thought the Gulf War started in January 1991? I've got a newspaper bought from a Nottingham newsagent from 10th January 1991, and it says "Last ditch peace talk efforts fail" - "Saddam warns your troops will drown in their own blood".

Loved News at Ten! Thanks man! Back in England, I was a huge ITN fan at that time. used to stay up "late" to watch News at Ten. Sandy was my favourite reader. So laid back and cool, especially for back then, but still a pro.
