Gulf War: BBC Six O'Clock News 17 January 1991

[@adrianadamowicz8395]

Peter was at his best during major events like this. You can see how much he enjoyed it. He could look quite bored on 'normal' days!

Absolutely right, he loved big news stories.

This edition of the BBC Six O'Clock News dedicated to the beginnings of the First Gulf War was originally broadcast on Thursday 17th January 1991

RIP Peter, such a talented and professional newsreader. Just gave us the news straight and in a clear concise manner, none of this silly, flashy stuff you get now.

This is pure war propaganda. Laughable.

Two former ITN readers Peter Sissons and Anna Ford

Poor old Peter, I liked him and Anna Ford, Peter was the voice of the BBC, now Anna has retired got grey hair as a result, the news in 2020 was no better, let this edition be a tribute to Peter Sissons VIP.

[@rajnirvan3336]

They were both great newsreader. I always remember watching Peter Sissons on the News At One on ITN whenever I used to come back from nursery school

I came here, bizarrely (out of boredom), to hear the utterly ridiculous voice of reporter Brian Barron again (I never listened to a word he ever said at the time because I was too absorbed by his tone and delivery)....surely an influence on Morris and his Eugene Fraxby.
