The Evening News was published in London from 1881 to 1980, when it was merged with its long-time rival the Evening Standard. The paper's Film Awards from 1977 were covered by Thames TV and presented by Michael Aspel. The ceremony is notable for John Thaw's astonished reaction at being presented with the Best Actor Award for The Sweeney movie, ahead of esteemed competitors whom he deemed more worthy of the accolade.
