13/05/1965 Part 2
First transmitted in 1965, Ian Trethowan presents a two-part current affairs programme focusing on the borough elections that have been taking place today.
First transmitted in 1965, a six per cent swing to the Conservatives in the local borough elections of 1965 is examined with the help of graphs and the swingometer. Pundit David Butler looks a little nonplussed towards the end of the report, as studio rumblings are explained away with an amused aside from fellow presenter Ian Trethowan.
