A Day to Remember

The career of broadcaster and journalist Robin Day is celebrated in a documentary featuring Day's own reflections on his life. The film also includes clips from his encounters with political figures on programmes such as Panorama and Question Time.

This programme was originally made in 1989 to mark Day's 30 years of broadcasting with the BBC. What is here is a revised repeat transmitted on 17 October 1998, to mark Day's impending 75th birthday.

This version removes a section of Mrs Thatcher's interview on Panorama (8 June 1987). Of course if you want to see this section of the interview you'll have to look elsewhere. Here for instance:    • Margaret Thatcher BBC Panorama 1987 Pt 1
