I suppose it might have crossed my mind subconsciously that the News at Ten theme was from a longer piece, but until reading the Diana Edwards-ones obit did I know what it was called - its The Awakening, by Johnny Pearson, and is of course on YouTube. The actual News at Ten bit is about a minute from the end. Anyone who's ever watched News at Ten will be adding their own 'bong' at the appropriate point. Guaranteed!

Diana Edwards-Jones, long-time director of News at Ten has died aged 92. She's the one who gave us the 'bongs' and also two presenters in tandem for a news broadcast.

Dickey Betts, DDP pick and QO'd

This would suggest that 'God' is not all he/she/it's cracked up to be and maybe doesn't actually exist.

Its the 44th Anniversary of the publication of this triumph of typesetting (Apologies if its been posted before)

(Sammy Davis) Also a DDP pick.

Designer John Miles has died aged 92. Designed 'corporate identities' (logos to you and me) for clients like BT and the Post Office. The current Royal Mail identity uses the double-line lettering designed back in the early 70s.

Its the 54th anniversary of Apollo 13's return to earth. As a kid, I was aware of it, never seen any of these TV broadcasts before (featuring James Burke, Patrick Moore & Cliff Michelmore amongst a few others who I don't recognise).

Michael Donovan, conspirator in the Shannon Matthews 'kidnapping', dead aged 54.

The original Guardian story here if you don't want to give the DM more clicks.

Surely he should have used boxing?

I thinks that's what we call a double-play

It was either going to be Yahoo or the Mail! Erskine's also a pick, probably be the same source if there's a QO in the offing.

Dreadful oversight by the five-minute bell-ends!

Thanks for letting me know...
