It was hosted by Stewart MacPherson (from its inception until 1950), Richard Dimbleby (1950 to 1955), Franklin Engelmann (1955 until his death in 1972) and Brian Johnston (1972 to 1987). In 1975 it was taken off the air as an economy measure, but it was subsequently reinstated. From 1987 until its demise in 1992 it had a different host every week, who would visit a place of significance in their own lives - effectively turning it into "Down My Way".
