Time Machine

Plato does love a good General Election. 1979 was a corking one - and she doesn't just mean the result.

Have a gander at this coverage courtesy of BBC Parliament - Robin Day smoking a giant cigar on the set is just the start - the presenters and commentators are hilarious.

And the famous Swingometer is almost spot on.



Let's hope the BBC manage something of this quality... some hope...

  1. I think I watched this on a b&w Rigonda TV, with a tiny screen!

  2. David Butler is still around as far as I know. I think he appeared on ITV's election programme in either 2001 or 1997.
