Granada Reports from April 1986, the first day of use from the Albert Dock Newsroom, Tony Wilson is your presenter from his ‘favourite’ place…

A North Wales lead story and an ashtray on Tony's desk to boot (clearly didn't feel the need to run his own autocue)

That would have been the start of regular daytime bulletins as well (apart from the main programme, the only other bulletin for many years was after News at One)

On a similar vein, a young Phil Cool (a few years before he hit the big time) doing a one-man Granada Reports parody on the last edition of What's On in July 1979, shown just days before the ITV strike took hold.

Interesting watch all round, actually - asides Margi Clarke (or Margox, as she's known here), there's Mike Riddoch - who took over from Tony on What's On, then returned to Scotland to begin a long career at Radio Clyde.
