BBC Two
on BBC Two England

At 7.30 pm, on 5 July 1954, from a faded Victorian fun palace on the heights of Muswell Hill, North London, Richard Baker introduced Britain's first television news bulletin. Tonight he tells the story of how that original 'illustrated summary of the news' was transformed over the years into today's highly complex programme, used by millions as their main source of news about what's happening in the world.
