As broadcasting legend Angela Rippon celebrates her 80th birthday, we join her for a special programme looking at her career as one of British television’s most familiar faces.

It’s a journey that begins with Angela’s early days as a local reporter and then follows her as she rises through the ranks to become one of the most prominent female figures in UK broadcasting.

From quiz show host to the person quizzing Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer immediately before their wedding, Angela has seen it all over 58 years on screen, and here we get it all – the early days, the reporting work she’s still doing today and, of course, the moment that cemented her place in TV history: the invitation to appear on Morecambe & Wise’s 1976 Christmas Show.
