While his fellow BBC newscasters took exception to his views on ‘too gloomy’ news bulletins, Mr Lewis said he received enormous public support. The BBC even went so far as to launch a ‘good news hour’ on Radio 5 Live.
Mr Lewis was unavailable for comment yesterday, but in a BBC statement he said: ‘I have had 32 fulfilling years in television journalism, during which I have been privileged to be involved in the coverage of many major news stories.
‘The Six O’clock News has a loyal army of viewers. I shall, of course, miss them as well as the cut and thrust of the daily news challenge.’

2. It’s early evening and Huw Edwards, the most recognisable of the BBC news presenters, is feverishly working away on his script for the News At Ten.
Senior editors will chip in with suggestions but the final version that appears on the autocue will be written by Edwards.

It is said about Edwardes that his popularity as a presenter lies in his common touch and his ability to judge the public mood. In person, he exudes natural warmth and curiosity.
During his time at the BBC, his debonair charm has established him as the housewife’s favourite. He revealed to one journalist that he regularly receives fan mail from adoring females.
‘One woman asked me if I was prepared to read the news in a pair of sawn-off denim shorts that were slightly too short for me. She was from Milton Keynes.’
