Election 1987 – BBC News (film #5 in the News section of TVArk). [Category: News]

Opening credits and the very beginning of an election night report on the BBC in 1987. This has a real up-to-the-minute feel to it, as the anchorman announces that the polls just closed, so that makes it a bit more historically interesting than some of the other election night clips on this site. And the computer graphics are well done, too.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.
