  David Butler-still with us at 96!  Poor show by the BBC & ITV not showing him at all in the 2019 Election.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jefOrpP9tE&amp;t=220">3:40</a> - Take note that David Dimbleby was chosen by the BBC to report from the Heath campaign and here at Heath&apos;s election count for both elections in 1974 - this was due to Harold Wilson detesting and hating Dimbleby for his &quot;Yesterday&apos;s Men&quot; documentary on Labour in 1971, and his line of questioning to Wilson about his income from his book deal. Wilson despised him and so the BBC kept him well away from Wilson in 1974.

  Here’s a drinking game for you. Every time Alastair says “Dick Taverne” take a drink. You’ll be shit faced by the end.

  Pity we missed the first two minutes on this one and the dramatic impact of the poll prediction, the more the dramatic as it was wide of the mark!

  Didn&apos;t know about this until my Uncle Graham&apos;s (Graham Pyatt) funeral after he passed away on the 4th Feb 2023. &nbsp;So lovely to see and what a fantastic life he had. :-)

  Always amazing to think that at that time the Second World War was just 30 years earlier. I mean 30 years from now was only 1991!
