269 This Is Your Right


First  watched  : Uncertain

This  is  the  first  regional    ( i.e  North  West )  only    programme  to  appear  here. This  Is  Your  Right  was  a  nightly  five  minute  consumer  bulletin  in  the  Granada  region.  It  was  presented  by  doctor  and  politician  Michael  Winstanley  who  was  briefly  an  MP  during  its  run  ( in  1974  )  and  then,  as  Baron  Winstanley,  a  life  peer  from  1976  onwards.  It  was  discontinued  in  1986, seven  years  before  Winstanley's  death.

It  seemed  dull  as  ditchwater  at  the  time  but  now  seems  like  something  else  of  which  the  pre-92  Granada  could  be  proud.
