| Video Discription | Tonight was the popular weekday features and magazine programme that followed the early evening news on the BBC Television Service (and during its final two years on BBC1). It was anchored by well-loved presenter Cliff Michelmore. The alliterative mention of 'Fy Grant' in Cliff Michelmore's introduction was in fact a reference to Cy Grant, a regular on the show who often presented a calypso song. Cy was a Guyanese actor and musician who was the first black person to appear regularly on British TV. He was later known to millions of children as the voice of Lieutenant Green in the Gerry Anderson puppet series Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons. His daughter appeared on Antiques Roadshow recently. Either the date of the programme shown here (24th May 1957) is wrong, or Cliff wrongly stated the time of the programme 'A-Z' which in fact was broadcast later that evening at 8pm. Cliff Michelmore was married to radio broadcaster Jean Metcalfe (of Forces Favourites and Family Favourites fame). Their son Guy became a TV presenter on BBC1 London and their daughter Jenny became an actress. Other famous presenters and reporters on Tonight included Alan Whicker (Whicker's World started life as a segment on Tonight), Fyfe Robertson, Kenneth Allsop, Julian Pettifer, and Brian Redhead. One of the producers of Tonight was Alasdair Milne who became Director General of the Beeb in 1982. Another was Donald Baverstock who went on to become controller of BBC1 in the 1960s. The role of the post-news features programme was picked up by Nationwide from the late 60s and through the 70s. Nowadays we have a greatly extended national and local news slot on BBC1 from 6 to 7pm and so it's The One Show that picks up the features, arts and popular culture baton.
