This is a great documentary on world events covered by BBC News from 1954 to 2004.
It shows how the BBC are world class in accurately reporting some of the major events of our recent history.
With narration from some of the corporations most distinguished journalists each decade is dealt with in 30 minute segments.
Events included in the production are the Cuban Missile Crisis, The Moon Landings, IRA Terrorism, 9/11 attacks.
The documentary is both educational and gripping and I can't recommended this enough.

As we all know, BBC has a world-wide reputation built on it's news quality, it's non-censorship news production(at least it's said so).. and this DVD bring you back to the very first Television News that BBC ever made, and dates back to the very important events in the history. very nice, it even contains 3 short film that explain how news produced in BBC, before and now.

A good general review of how the BBC has reported news over the last fifty years. From black and white to colour. From the formality of early presenters clearly not used to the visual medium to the practiced media people of today. Each decade is introduced by a well known broadcaster from that era. Recommended.
