THATCHER RESIGNATION - BBC & ITV NEWSFLASHES

[@djbobhoskins]

One small point: ITN Newsflashed the news before 9.55 (I think literally minutes earlier) with Nicholas Owen in the normal morning newsroom.

Keynotes! That’s where I saw it. Historic footage Greggles. (Thatcher & Keynotes)

That news report still brings a smile to my face all these years later..

Also, this wasn't the first ITN newsflash that morning, the first was when PA broke the news.

Best video ever.

Lovely day

Ronke Phillips at the beginning of the vid! Oh wow, didn't realise she'd been in the presenting game that long!

[@dominewimbury9120]

omg I remember Keynotes!

[@11carbuff19572011]

Alistair Divall hosted the game show "Keynotes" that was aired before that newsflash. Alistair is married to QVC presenter Claire Sutton from what I know.

Let me guess that BBC One stayed on the air until Blue Peter at 5.05 pm?

Fantastic, thanks very much for uploading this. Do you have any more video from the morning of her resignation? I seem to remember Lynette Lithgow swiftly replaced by Nicholas Witchell on the BBC and Sir Alastair Burnet coming on for ITN.

Lynette Lithgow. Was she not murdered?

[@davidjatt3251]

coool.

[@Gallowaywind]

if it was that important, ITV would have went to the news before the news.

[@dominewimbury9120]

WOOHOO!!!!!

Had her for far too long - Tory Dalek, had hearing problems, who talked and didn’t listen, and carried on regardless, never minding public opinion for those against her policies.
