Hello, hope you enjoyed the episodes of old newscast we put in the newscast feed over the weekend.

The first batch were about the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in South Africa.

Lots of people seem to enjoy them, including newscaster Rick, who says he loves the newscast concept, although

he is the person that first suggested we should call it pastcast instead of newscast.

I think we're going to disagree on that, Rick.

But what I am intrigued by is your suggestion for another one, where he says, as a 76-year-old,

I can vividly remember the Cuban missile crisis, but recognize that in those days, the general public got even

less detailed news of the unfolding event than would be the case now. Can I suggest you might

broadcast a past cast on the Cuban Missile Crisis? Although Rick then goes on, I recognise it might

be a bit difficult to round up many people with firsthand experience of those days.

Maybe we'll call on you, Rick, as somebody who presumably was tuned into the radio to find out

if the human race was going to end because of that big argument between the USA and the Soviet Union

about missiles being parked in Cuba. Right, if you've got ideas for future old newscasts, then send them in to

newscast at BBC.co.uk. Or you can WhatsApp us on 0-330-123-9480. Or you can just sit back and listen to

the next batch of old newscasts, which will drop this weekend, and they're about the MP's

expenses scandal, which seems of a very, and they're about the MP's expenses scandal,

which seems of a very different order of magnitude compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis,

but still very, very interesting to go back over the recent history of that, and what it meant

for the politics we have now. Right, let's see what news we've got now in a classic episode

of Newscast. Newscast from the BBC. He has just compared me to the fat controller. Did I say that? I can't believe I said that. Next way, sir. This is R for the benefit of Earth. I'm not personally a huge Sabrina carpenter fam. I don't think I'm being rude. I like landscapes. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey.

Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio. And we're going to focus today's episode on one big global news story because it's affected a huge chunk of the planet.
