The whole nation was shocked to wake up to the news of the Princess of Wales, Diana Spencer, was tragically killed in a horrendous car accident under the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris, France, on 31st August 1997, at the age of 36. This BBC news clip, presented by Martyn Lewis, Nik Gowing & Maxine Mawhinney, gives us the gruesome coverage of the obliterated car, on the very tragic morning of the accident.

Belated New Year Programming...
BBC2 Continuity into New Year 1997 & Start of Hootenanny
The first edition of the Ident and Continuity section, welcome! It's the turn of the New Year of 1997, when a thinner-looking, almost live Jools Holland presents his annual Hootenanny, the same format as "Later...with Jools Holland", but an extra treat with a bumper assemble of musicians to please us, as well as a variously boozed-up celebrity ridden-audience in some jovial banter segements. A frankly cooler alternative to the BBC 1's tartan-sozzled - and still is, to this day - Carol "Changing Rooms" Smiley, and Gordon "stooooneeybridge" Kennedy, presenting superteam. Other programmes featured in the continuity, were "The O Zone", "Brothers and Sisters" "The Simpsons" and "Singled Out". I remember "Singled Out", it was god awful.
