BBC Television News - circa 1962
Hello, and welcome to the first edition of the News genre. And this a good introduction to begin with. Here we look at how news (and weather) reports, have changed down the years, along with the occasional bloopers/controversies. A very young Michael Aspel (presenter of "Antiques Roadshow", "This Is Your Life" & "Aspel & Comapny", to name just a few) gives us a behind the scenes look at how the news is broadcasted. The long, difficult and mountainous terrain of miles and miles of film rolled up into those large rolling steel cans, looking like an Elephant's earring, are transported by plane designated to many international countries around the world, the BBC being a leading and global force in the early days of Television. Nowadays journalists/corresspondents and just simply send their film footage via the laptop. In-news graphics and diagrams are simply painted/illustrated on transparent materials. Self important, pompous music plays in this clip, as Aspel outlays the process, to what our many Second World War veterans and free-thinking hippies would see as the eventual outcome. Although with this now slow generating of news media, they do their best to keep up-to-date with the latest news.
