:omg: ... NOW it's Cliff Michelmore!

Mind you ... :anerikke: ... at the grand old age of 96, it's NOT altogether surprising. :NoNo:

For those [few] British viewers of my generation [here] :olddude: he will, of course,
be BEST~remembered as presenter of BBC1's late '50s - early '60s Current Affairs programme, 'Tonight'. And I'd reckon :icon_rolleyes: he would've been the production's last surviving team member.

Cliff and his wife, Jean Metcalf, used to live in my home town, Reigate, Surrey. They were both very popular.
