This is Your Right

CUE EXTENDED cymbal roll – it’s LORD MICHAEL WINSTANLEY “championing your rights” in this nightly North West-only five-minute consumer bulletin which pre-dated WATCHDOG by, ooh, at least half a century and got broadcast every weeknight between NEWS AT 5.45 and CROSSROADS. No expense spared titles: show’s name written out in military stencilling typeface. Always mixed up by six-year-olds with THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Later joined by sister programme “for our Asian viewers”, Aap Kaa Hak on a Sunday morning.
