ITN Special: The ITN Story (1977)

To mark ITN's 67th anniversary, ITN Archive presents "The ITN Story", a 1977 documentary made to celebrate 25 years of Independent Television News.

Featuring ITN icons such as Reggie Bosanquet and Sandy Gall, this behind-the-scenese programme charts the growth of ITN from its founding in 1955 and, in doing so, recounts the evolution of TV news in the post-war era.
