RIP., [Arthur] Cliff Michelmore

[Arthur Little]

... NOW it's Cliff Michelmore!

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

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

Do you mean 1850/60?

[Michael Parnham]

Yes I used to watch 'Tonight' enjoyed it and Cliff Michelmore, good presenter and amongst his topics I will always remember the Moon Landing. RIP.

Yep... remember it well. There weren't that many telly progs to remember in those days !

Old school properly educated presenter.

RIP Cliff... at least you were lucky in having such a long life.

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