Lovely Moira Stuart was of the finest BBC broadcasters around. She was classy and glamorous. I once had a tour of the BBC Television studios, and saw that NRM as seen here, complete with that desk, think it was properly unused after 1993 when the Nine O'clock News and Weekend News went up to the Virtual Reality Studio N2 on the 6th floor.
I was in the BBC News Centre, Stage 6, got to sit in Huw Edwards chair, and got to meet him at his desk in the news centre too. Loved visiting television centre. Shame it is a shadow of its former self now in September 2018
John King I only ever got to meet George Alagiah, or not as the case was on a studio tour, unable to think what year, this was in the Newscentre, sat in same conference room the staff sat, saw the old newsroom, but not the studio, John Tusa lives near me, seen him three times, a true veteran of BBC newsreader.
I was eighteen and a half at the time and remember Moira Stuart reading the BBC News well. The Lockerbie bombing is another memory. Takes me right back!
Thank you, there was a lot of luck involved it could easily have gone wrong. There were a few spots of rain and I realised I didn't know how to operate the wipers, thankfully it came to no more than a few spots and that was that. Glad you finally passed, bet you were relived after all that :-)

Three days before Lockerbie.
This was on my 17th birthday. I had my first driving lesson on this day :)
I passed my driving test on the previous Friday (16th) and turned 18 the previous Sunday! Hope you're lessons went well.
Well done. It took me a few years - and five attempts - to pass my test. I finally did it when I was 22.

By contrast, I was 32, in three years and around four months, will be 63, amazing how the time flies.

For those of us with very long memories the following week's news would be dominated by an event we're still talking about 30 years later!
What was that?
@@kramniboh1189 Lockerbie plane explosion
Yes, I was eighteen and a half when it happened, so remember the Lockerbie bombing well!
Why don't we have newsreaders who say Andreas Papandraeou, or however it was spelled, like that now?
14:10 - RIP Ian McCaskill
John King
Yes, such a shame for that mild mannered easy going man.
8:07 - Look, there's Gordon Brown pulling up a seat next to Kaufman.
0:31 - In 1989 they rejigged the background here, with a better "window" slot into the newsroom. This one just looked bad.
Love the BBC intro
Fordson Super Major followed by Citroen GS 5:30!
A Citroen GS complete with the winter grille cover, too! That must've been one protective owner...
Excellent, so british!

Wonder who ended up with Maggies Koala paperweight!
Moira getting a bit too big for her boots here if I may be so bold
In what way? Should she not have been reading the news?
