Hello all,

I'm looking for any clips or perhaps even a full copy of the ITV documentary 'Newsflash: Stories That Stopped The World' that aired on 6th November last year, as discussed on this very forum.

I watched it back then but regrettably my capture card wasn't working and so I couldn't record it on my computer. I'd love to see it again but it looks like there isn't any way to purchase the programme online or on DVD. TV Live uploaded one great clip here on the JFK assassination, but if anyone has any more clips they could share I would greatly appreciate it. It was a great little documentary especially for those fascinated by how some of these more major breaking news stories developed, especially in an age before news channels or even during the infancy of rolling news.

Thanks in advance Smile

I'll have to look through my DVD archive and see if I've still got the programme. If I have, then I'll try and upload it for you. Give me a few days...

In the meantime, there is a page of images from that programme at TV Live.

That would be amazing if you had the full programme, did not have my hopes up for that! Smile Thank you. I'm in no rush to see it. I looked through your TV Live page as well, some great caps.

Finished going through my DVD archive last night, and unfortunately, I can't find a copy of the programme Phil, sorry. Sad

That's fantastic! Thank you for uploading that Larry Very Happy I've saved it to my computer in case it inevitably gets taken down due to copyright. Again, thanks so much for uploading.
