Noisiest, funniest (most dangerous?) intro to a BBC news item you’ll ever see
Love this BBC news clip of Bernard Falk introducing a piece for Newsnight about the British special effects industry (whatever happened to that?) from 1982.
Brilliant.
#OTD 1982 Newsnight looked at the British special effects industry. Bernard Falk's marvellous intro here must be a contender for best ever. pic.twitter.com/J0tBffhPqz

Let’s hope for his sake it was only the one.
Bernard Falk, who is sadly no longer with us, also presented one of the great TV gameshows of all time, Now Get Out Of That, a reality show 30 years ahead of its time. Anyone else remember? Just me, then.
