RIP Peter. The standard of newsreaders and reporters was very high in those days.

Excellent newsreader. Unlike newsreaders of today, he had class, presence, dignity and gravitas.
One of the old school.
RIP sir.

I read his autobiography a couple of years ago and it was superb, what a life he lead. He was a roving reporter before he became a renowned newsreader, but had to give it up due to a bullet injury he got whilst filming in some war ravaged country. I reckon he would still have been doing it if it wasn't for the injury.
Went to the same school as Paul McCartney in Liverpool, although a couple of years younger than Macca.
I think guys like Sissons, who were old school journalists, which gave them an advantage when doing the news.
RIP Peter.

There's a well documented picture of three Scouse scallys, all at primary school. Peter Sissons, John Lennon and Jimmy Tarbuck!  |

RIP Peter Sissions. Never forget that face during his prime time in the 80s and 90s.

For me I'll always remember him for doing the panel show follow up for 'The Men Who Killed Kennedy'. This can't have been shown since original transmission.
Great newsreader, one of the best. Sad news. RIP

As Daz says a news presenter of the old school, always sounded authoritative - probably in no small part due to him having "been there, done that" out in the field.
