British Vietnamese refugee here. Fled Vietnam as a baby with family in a boat to Hong Kong where we stayed for 18 months before Britain 🇬🇧 accepted us. Landed at Gatwick Airport from British Hong Kong in November 1980. Became a citizen in November 1999. Thank you Britiain 🇬🇧
Job losses and gains. Reminds me of the Victoria Wood sketch where 2000 workers at GK Metals in Paisley are to lose their jobs but the Seabright restaurant in Hove are taking someone on to peel the potatoes.
Those job losses in industry after industry. I remember that very well from the news in the early 80s. The few jobs created in retail and the public sector. This was the era when the UK as an industrialised country started to die.
It brought back memories of those two paper mills mentioned near Bury. The Transparent paper mill at Heap Bridge between Bury and Heywood, and the East Lancashire paper mill in Radcliffe, a once major employer in that town, and one of two paper mills at the time, neither standing today, nor the Transparent mill either. 😢
So interesting to watch this. The way things change is mostly revealed in ways no one was aware of. The simple graphics, the plain newsroom decor and so many other little things to numerous to mention. I would love to see more of these.

In 2023 average food inflation is now over 50% with some product prices increased in price by 80% over three years and this would have shocked those in 1980.
@@zeddeka Headline rate of inflation was higher in the 1970s but the cost of living was far lower. Technology prices have fallen greatly but housing costs and utility bills have massively increased.

Poor 'ol Olive Smelt of West Yorkshire is having unwelcome telephone calls from a chap calling himself Jack. We definitely live in a simulation. Sandy and Anna have so much smaller a role to play in the newscast. They were both class acts.
I, always looked forward to News At Ten for Big Ben,the clock used to fasnate me,the size of it the clock faces/ diials,I knw it sounds stupid by I have always had a fashion eith Big Ben.
BBC could have had an issue with female newsreaders named Mercedes or Porsche due to potential product placement and brand names but this didn't happen.
Peter Sutcliffe was to clever for police taking the piss out of them he was,it took them ages to get him,but the law& order was better then.To the absolutely shit law& order now,they laugh going to prison now.
The beautiful Anna Ford. I can see why my Dad was always keen to watch 'News at Ten'.
Y she really is a beauty. 😃
:-)))

We're patronised now, awful times to live in
Anna Ford. The only reason to watch the news back in 1980.
Totally , she's at her beauty peak here in 1980.
Same here
Yeah she was quite good looking. I was only 5 in 1980 mind you. This is interesting.
I remember her in later years with BBC late 80s and most of 90s along with Sue Lawley and co.
Beautiful lady
18yearsof age then with not a care in the world,I need transported back there.
Who knows if Peter Sutcliffe watched the News at Ten that night? He was able to go about his work and home life as a seemingly normal person.
Hammer time! Hammer 🔨
He was always out patrolling the red light area on a night
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain He didn't! He wasn't that stupid and he'd have been quickly caught if he had been in red light areas every night.
Think Roscoe was being tongue in cheek...
Yorkshire police were a bunch of clowns. Probably still are
Sandy Gall the newsreader... STILL alive (As of 3rd October 2022)
He's 95 now
Sandy a OG 💯
Pickled in Scotch, no doubt.
Anna Ford…thinking mans’ tottie ❤️
Even the unthinking man's tottie really.
And the teen boy tottie I was 15 only time I watch
all the news was when Anna was on 😇

Ahhh the ridiculously pretty Anna Ford 😍🔥, utter class as a newsreader as well 👍
Sends a shiver down your spine doesn't it.

Like most British industry
How do you know the transparent mill isn't still there.

Nothing about Ireland in the headlines. Must have been a quiet day
I remember these new stories. It's likely I was watching this exact news program.

If you hate the internet so much, stop using it then.
The internet was created in the US in 1969. The World Wide Web commonly known as the internet was created in 1989.
@@zeddeka where did I say that I did not like the Internet ??????????????
answer ... NO WHERE ... that's just your assumption, merely pointing out hat the world worked long before the Internet came along.
The news delivered pretty much impartially and without hyperbole. Traits long gone from the MSM.
You just said 'MSM'. That instantly marks you out as a fruitcake.
Was born a couple of day's after this aired looking back I'm thinking why did I even bother
Three channel TV back then.
Some of it a lot better than the crap pushed out these days.
A major television event here in the States happened that November 21, 1980: The “Dallas” episode in which we found out once and for all who shot J.R. Ewing!
Those were the days
Not the rubbish we have now .
Sorry, but it's true
Sandy Gall a wonderful presenter
Do you have News at Ten from the 1990s?
Sir George Young a role model for Jacob Rees-Mogg and James Prior has a resemblance to Margaret Thatcher.
In 2023 average food inflation is now over 50% with some product prices increased in price by 80% over three years and this would have shocked those in 1980.
Not true whatsoever - they'd been through the 70s, which had much higher inflation than now.
@@zeddeka Headline rate of inflation was higher in the 1970s but the cost of living was far lower. Technology prices have fallen greatly but housing costs and utility bills have massively increased.
Whwn news was presented in a professional serious way not presented as if everybody was in primary school.
"looking for a supersonic upgrade to the harrier"
they got it in the end
Proper serious old style NaT, the way it SHOULD be.
Nothing changes.
