100 Years of the BBC

That's an interesting clip as it was says it done for internal use and not broadcast, to show executives an example of typical presentation on screen - presumably the reason it survives today. The rather nervous weatherman stuttering over his script (a real weatherman or just a random staff member filling in?) is amusing.

The boxing match and play mentioned by the announcer are both real and took place in August 1956, although on different days - though despite what the announcer states (presumably as a joke) former US president Harry Truman was not involved in it.
