ITV's answer to Panorama launched in 1956 and was hosted by former BBC announcer Leslie Mitchell. His successors included Ludovic Kennedy and Brian Connell. The initial run of this current affairs magazine series lasted through the franchise change until 1978, when Thames replaced it with TV Eye, though it was revived from 1986-1992. The theme tune 'Intermezzo' is part of the Karelia Suite by Jean Sibelius. This title sequence dates from 1963.
