Just wanted to say thank you for who ever posted this. I was on the Ferry crash. It was life changing. It’s so hard to find stuff about this as it’s buried under millions of stories about the Berlin Wall. Thank you so very much for posting.
1. Is that Victoria Wood at the start? 2. The picture quality from Warsaw, provided by the TVP, even for 1989 standards is horrific! 3. Any newsflashes from later that night? 4. Neil, it's funny that you simply put "BBC Nine O'Clock News & Look East - 1989 " in the title, whilst it's from the same night as the biggest news event of the entire decade!
0:55 - I LOVE these opening titles. I remember them so well as a kid, scared the hell out of me when I was 5 years old, but they are thee best titles for the Nine O'Clock News ever, sorry my opinion.
Was thinking that myself. According to BBC Genome (Radio Times archive), Michael Buerk was scheduled, so assuming he phoned in sick at short notice and Andrew, having presented the 6 earlier, stood in
so on genome bbc one o clock news phillip hayton bbc six o clock news with anna ford and andrew harvey and nine o clock news with michael buerk thats whats read on that day
