Michael Buerk, usually a slick, polished newsreader, has an attack of the goofs as he launches into a conversation with the studio guest while his mic is still live. He appears to stumble at the end of the bulletin too. This was the end of an extended Sunday night bulletin following the Kegworth air disaster on Sunday 8th January 1989. There a reference to the extended Breakfast time tomorrow too.
