@@omegaman6494 And Sandy Gall is still alive! Interestingly, I discovered that both Sandy Gall and Alastair Burnet's actual given names were Alexander.
I heard a story, that ITN had paid for shiny new studios & .some .junior reporters were for the chop to balance the books. Alastair & Sandy thought this was nonsense as they were near retiring age anyway & both duly called it a day. This was the NaT line up! The scottish sunday mail wanted to interview him, he thanked them for their interest over the phone but didnt think he,d done anything worth talking about! So they sent him a bottle of his favourite whisky.
