Goodness me, he's changed a lot!! Last time I saw him on screen, he had an abundance of curls. I quite like him as a presenter actually.

Thanks Londoner.


ISTR he was on for 9/11 with Valerie Sanderson I think - anyway he was exceptional.


Yes - but I don't think Val was on for very long (think Jane Hill was parachuted in). Can't remember if John stayed on, or if he was bigfooted as well.


John was soon ditched for Peter Dobbie, who was then ditched for Gavin Esler, who was then ditched for Huw Edwards.

The coverage was, IIRC, absolutely abysmal to start with too! But then there was BBC World's efforts...sorry I digress..

Good to see Nicholson again - he is quite a good newsreader. Last I heard of him was in the press just after he 'came out' - and that was some time ago.

What ITN News theme is on the new ITV Themes album just out?

Is it the famous 'Non Stop' ?


Yes, according to Amazon. A review on Amazon also states this:

I must admit to purchasing this. That out of the way, I bought this as a nice reminder of shows gone by like Strike It Lucky and the original The Bill theme music. Unfortunately the CD is a massive let down. None of the tunes with the exception of Coronation Street are the original , rather it sounds like all of them have been reproduced on a £50 Kiddies Keyboard. What could have been so much promise has turned into such disappointment.

If that's true about them not being the original themes, then what a rip-off.


I agree with you i couldn't believe it when i started to play it .I don't understand why ITV could not have produced a CD with the original music.

Put The Telly On
...because ITV wasted their pocket money on Celebrity reality shows. Mad

I have a reproduced TV themes album with themes such as Prisoner Cell Block H, Dynasty, Dallas, Eastenders, Emmerdale and Corrie....its just awful!
