Michael Barratt RIP (1928-2022)

[Wynn Chester]

Another staple of my childhood TV watching has departed... as a family we'd always watch Nationwide after the main BBC news...

RIP Michael...

[AlanH]

One of those presenters who you sort of felt you knew. Michael had such an engaging, conversational style. Sad that he's gone but good that he survived to see BBC News' homage to/rip-off of Nationwide that runs every weekday afternoon.

RIP.

. I will always remember him from my childhood as well . He was a distinctive presenter , to match the distinctive Nationwide theme tune . He was a good sport , often appearing in send ups of the show in The Goodies .

R.I.P Michael .

 I hadn't heard about this, he was a great presenter, and 'Nationwide' was a great programme, at its peak in the Michael Barratt period with the great theme tune & titles.

R.I.P. Michael Barratt.
