London, Monday, January 5, 1959
The BBC announcer reading the 1 p.m. news yesterday came to a sudden pause.
The pause went on...and on...and on. Then the announcer said: "I am sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen, but I have run out of news, and no one has supplied me with any more."
There was another, shorter pause. Then the announcer said: "Here it is now" and the BBC 1 p.m. news continued.
