They said it began in the 90's
Didn't SKY start in 1989? Damn BBC can't even make a correct factual statement about something like that!
Yep, Sky News launched on 5th Feburary 1989.

Disappointed that apparently 24hr news started in 1997 in this country.

I really don't understand why you insist on posting those extremely low quality images every time you link to something.

I remember seeing two Sky clips - when Simon McCoy got up and walked off set, leaving Anna Botting on her own. The other was from the 2005-present set showing the virtual helicopter in front of the desk, but that was only used to illustrate the narrative. Come to think of it, Lindsey Brancher featured near the end - she's been at BBC World for yonks but I'm sure she worked for Sky News prior to that. She was in a set I didn't recognise, anyway, and looked rather young. However, there was literally nothing from ITN post-1970.
I think Lindsey was in the BBC World Service Television set from 1991, but I may be mistaken.
It was nice to see a 'wrong guest' error from BBC News 24 from the second set in 1998-99 (first set in N8?) - I've hardly seen any clips of what that set looked like!

It was good, but as many people have said, the clips were poor. TVAM mainly, and BBC News. There are lot's more I've seen on blooper shows! Shame they were no Sky/ITV clips.

I dare say there getting saved for more Ann's cock up BBC shows
Oddly enough that Peter Sissons clip was on her show the other week. Well he did make a remark about Robbo in it, so not surprising really.

A bit disapointing many of the clips are old that we've seen before, with 24 hour news channels, there are surely many more cockups, yet hardly any clips from 2002 onwards
Also 99% of clips were from the BBC

He was indeed on News Knight with Trevor McDonald earlier this year. I was actually quite surprised at how well he and the rest of the panels worked with Sir Trev throughout the shows, the latter accustomed only to being a newsreader.

Wasn't he also a panellist on that Trevor McDonald programme, 'News Knight', earlier this year?

He also guest hosted an episode of HIGNFY in its most recent series - and the best HIGNFY episode for some years in my opinion, with a real energy to it. The show moved along at great pace whereas most hosts don't have the presence it needs. (Hmmmm, drifting off-topic methinks.)
