'Nationwide' has gone and in its place comes 'Sixty Minutes', which is not Nationwide but far worse at all. No sirree. Nuh huh.

Here are the titles, the main stories, the ageless Moira Stuart reading the news (with the filmed inserts cut out) and then we're off to the first edition of the built-in regional news, in this case 'Wales Today', with its subtly cheaper version of the main titles.

The show itself would be relaunched in 1984, moving the fluffy items to the front and the harder news to the back; but the overall unwieldiness of the format, the amateurish editing and presentation and a loss of faith in the ability of BBC Current Affairs to work well with BBC News (they were separate departments at the time) by management doomed the programme. It transmitted its last episode on 27 July 1984 and remains unmourned.

Sorry about the floating DOGs in a couple of places: blame serial thief and congenital liar CWilliams1976.
