ITN veterans return to host the ITV Evening News (ITN 50)

Thats the funniest ending ever

"Bye (wave) See You

He starts in the old traditional newsreading way and ends in a style not seen yet - a pioneer maybe. See you later dude!

What a brilliant week from ITN.Gordon was brilliant it was so nice to see him back and Mary was excellent with him .Be fantastic to see Anna tomorrow night.

No he wasn't!

So far I think Gordon was the least professional in his manner, the end was a bit of a shambles and he didn't conduct the interviews very well. Also his suit was too big. Still, he did well considering he only got an hours rehearsal.

Anna Ford might be interesting as she is the only one still presenting a mainstream news programme.

John

I'd imagine he's had more than an hour as most of the old faces have spent a couple of days at ITN some of that must have been spent rehearsing. Personally I never liked Gordon's style when he read the TVam news, but I suppose it is important to remember that he comes from a time when the news on TV was a completely different beast.

That's YOUR opinion NOT mine.I thought he was great his style is very dated and he is a bit rusty but what did you expect he hasn't read news since his TV AM days.He does sound and is very old school .

He has just shocked Joyce on the news channel by telling her his fav and finally stories was about bustards "the birds" she was a bit taken a back while he explained it.

Ok, your opinion. But the man came accross as boring, and old fashioned. He didn't add any flavour or cement to the Evening News, and putting him on was a mistake.

Whatever .

This was the guy who came up with the "oldies" idea in the first place!

Erm, I think that's understandable as he comes from a different era and IS old fashioned.

You're talking as if he's the new regular presenter

Please piss off, you pleb.

This place was so much better when infants like you weren't here.
