08/08/1983 - ITV - Thames News and Looks Familiar

A bumper upload here featuring Thames News hosted by Tina Jenkins (in full-on Princess Diana mode) before Denis Norden gathers together Bill Owen, Eartha Kitt and Larry Grayson for an edition of nostalgia-fest Looks Familiar. Also contains ad-breaks. Sourced from Betamax.

Thanks for these rarities. Nice to see Eartha Kitt, and I like the general feel of the show. None of the tryhard smugness of later years.

Just think ,' Looks Familiar' they are looking back 40 years to the 1940s & now that (1983)episode is itself now more than 40 years ago. Dennis Borden was a perfect host for the show! Though it was shown in odd times of the day, afternoon ( occasionally on Sunday afternoon which is unusual for a Thames production), teatime 5 15, rarely was iron at its original time of 7.30.

Sounds a bit strange to hear Bill Owen speaking in his normal accent rather than a Yorkshire one.
