April 18th 1930: Nothing happened
On this day in 1930 BBC Radio announced in a 6.30pm news bulletin that there was no news for that day and instead played piano music for the duration of the programme. 
 “Good evening. Today is Good Friday. There is no news.”- BBC presenter

Quiet as Whereas these days we have reality TV stars to fill up such gaps.

Paul Anderson on the set of “The Sweeney” filming a clip for Top Gear.

‘Turn off the ABS.’

‘’Ow, ’ow, ’ow?’

‘Pull the rhythm.’

The Borat accent was priceless.

Mrs Thackeray circles an ad I would have set it in Scotch rather than Baskerville to try to match the rest of the page.

I don’t just watch it for Keeley Hawes The typography on the Daily Express in Upstairs, Downstairs this week was not too bad. It’s not the display cut of Century, but at least the design existed in 1938.
