Looking through some old videos the other day, I found a bit of the late political jouralist Vincent Hanna talking about something and it reminded me that he was a great broadcaster with a real mission to explain and a great sense of humour. (BTW, who remembers his appearance in 'Blackadder The Third'? Good chap!)

So... which past presenters (whether dead, retired or just not seen very much anymore) do you miss?

I remember Vincent Hanna in Blackadder, he was the 'presenter' of the Dunny-on-the-Wold by-election in series 3, 'Dish and Dishonesty'. Do you remember Sir Ivor 'Jest Ye Not' Madame Biggun of the Standing at the Back Dressed Stupidly and Looking Stupid Party?

What happened to COLIN WESTON? He was a continuity announcer at Granada for several years until around 3 years ago.
A real character, great humour. A pity the programmes interrupted
him !
Anyone know of his whereabouts? Confused
