Ah, the wonderful Fyfe Robertson. A great example of good old storytelling and a mesmering form of TV journalism, on a par with Alan Whicker. Charming, urbane, and infinitely watchable, whatever they're talking about.
Fascinating piece. Fyfe Robinson was a fixture on BBC Panorama in the early sixties. Mind you his script "Surprisingly, Irish discipline was perfect" seems to show that there was still a patronising attitude to Ireland back in the sixties.
A wonderful voice. I can do a pretty good impression of dear old Robbie. I amuse myself by doing his " lovely lovely biscuits" routine.

Not Panorama. It was the 'Tonight' programme hosted by Cliff Michelmore that Robertson reported for.
Are you saying Irish people in general are well known for their discipline?
Excellent. Let's do it worldwide.
Fast forward to 2022 what a different world 😬 all messed up
