The Murder of Jill Dando

I can remember Sissons straying outside of the blue screen area at the end, only time I ever saw it happen. It’s a lovely tribute at the end - they used to do slightly poetic endings occasionally in this era.

I was forgetting he was on the Evening News at that point. I think it was fairly unusual for him to be on in the afternoon though - at least it struck me as strange to see him on at the time, but my memory is clearly a bit hazy after 20 years.

Interesting at the time of the newsflash they believed she’d been stabbed, whereas she was actually shot.

Why was that newsflash kept? since most have dont tend to be kept?

It’s funny how we all remember small things that would normally be ignored. I don’t remember any bombings, but the Columbine shooting had taken place a few days earlier.

I was at university at the time. I can remember sitting in the living room of our flat watching the news. IIRC, it was Anna Ford who anchored the One. At the end, there was a moment of confusion, uncertainty, call it what you will. She’d obviously been told what had happened, was listening to instructions and was uncertain if she should report it. Her tone and demeanour changed. As the broadcast ended, my flat mate (who was more than likely high as a kite, even at lunchtime) said “That was some weird **** at the end”.

Ten minutes later, the local news was over and they had the newsflash. When the slide appeared on screen, I can remember my flat mate saying “Told you so”.

I dont recall Anna Ford reading the One O'Clock News in the virtual era. Sure you were not as high as kite with your flatmate? 😂

She might well have just been filling in on the One - remember that it was near enough the very tail end of the virtual era.

I’m sure. I’ve never taken recreational drugs in my life.
I’ll await your apology.

Around this time the One was being done by anyone and everyone....

Dear ford has been doing bits on the one for years

She presented it on the day before Diana's funeral. There used to be a video on YouTube with various clips from the week, and I remember she presented it as well as the Six on that day. Oddly, Jon Sopel also presented it that week (I only recently found out he presented during the Virtual era), so I'm guessing Ed Stourton was on holiday that week.

Also, I remember when doing GCSE Biology, we were showed an old news clip, and it was certainly Anna Ford presenting the one in the Virtual era. No idea of the year mind

This one: Who is that with ford?
