1963: The ORIGIN of the BOYCOTT | Tonight | BBC Archive

[@DaraM73]

A simple tale to remember, for a modern age.

[@jdm65]

Could listen to Fyfe's cadences for hours. Beautiful.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

That is a great story!

[@kaitlyn__L]

I had never considered the word boycott was originally a proper noun! Fascinating!

[@MrACOUSTICPETE]

Who remembers Fyfe Robertson and the " spaghetti tree ? " It was a classic April 1st news report !

[@kevinmothers904]

It would have been just as believable had it been narrated by Fyfe however it was voiced by the famous broadcaster Richard Dimbleby in 1957.

Nice view across the loch.

[@markiliff]

What an artist!

[@VenusEvan_1885]

In this video Fyfe was only 61 years old but looks at least 80.

"surprisingly, Irish discipline was perfect" Typical an old british person in the 1960s to say it's a surprise.

[@cliffhughes6010]

Fyfe Robertson, Cliff Mitchelmore, Alan Whicker... you don't get TV presenters like these today, more's the pity.

[@animatewithdermot]

Captivating delivery. Just him talking to camera with a little B-roll, love it!

[@khangembamkumar7274]

Good Content 💯

[@davidpanton3192]

His catchphrase was "I'm standing here..." but he didn't say it.

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

...holding this huge fish.

[@geminian7846]

Do you remember his report on The Great Pies of Denby Dale? Pure gold!

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

@@geminian7846 I made a video today opening with 'I'm standing here....next to this Pictish stone.'

[@tachikomakusanagi3744]

He was cancelled.

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

I see

[@xfactor3000]

...and thus began the boycott of Bud Light and Anhauser-Busch...

[@tachikomakusanagi3744]

The townsfolk mustn't have liked what they saw in his wardrobe

[@Amstermouse1]

Now do origin of the word "Tory" 😄

[@davedogge2280]

"You can't go on living in a social vacuum' - a lesson for Gen Z perhaps ??

[@trenchardjj]

The most socially connected generation to ever exist?

[@biulaimh3097]

They keep coming, older generations keep dying. They will have their day for better or for worse.

[@dora_thedestroyer]

​@@trenchardjjNo that would be gen A.

[@tooruoikawa8985]

Y’all ever hear of the Boston tea party? I heard it was a real bar burner…

[@biulaimh3097]

Yes but Boston Tea Party is a mouthful. I`ll Boston Tea Party you ... there`s a reason that didn`t catch on.
