Any help will be appreciated. 1. Surname of the first British TV newsreader/newscaster to be knighted, not necessarily for TV work!
2. A word that means a type of food prepared from certain parts of an animal, especially the pig, is also an old-fashioned tailoring term meaning the large lacy frills on a man's dress shirt or coat?
Hi Upandrunning,
It's nice to meet you
Re: Question 2
* Chitterlings- The intestines of a pig or other animal prepared as food.
* Chitterling - The frill to the breast of a shirt, which when ironed out resembled the small entrails
Hope this is the answer you were looking for.
Regards, Butterfly

Thank you Butterfly, greatly appreciated.
The first that comes to mind is Sir Robin Day in 1981.
Thanks carditel, I found Robin Day but was wondering if there was anyone earlier than 1981. Many thanks for answering.
There is also Alistair Burnett, but I cannot find a year for him.

Good Morning Lezzles, I thought of him too, can't find it now but sure I read that he was knighted late 1980s. Thank you for answering.
Knighted Newsreader
I think I have an answer for this question. But he lives down under and according to my source was knighted in 1979. Doubt the queen would honour an antipodean so readily now.
Good Morning teachermike. I am going to go with a newsreader who became Director General of the BBC and then Chairman of Thames Television. Thanks to all who answered.
I have looked up all the Director Generals - can't find any that were newsreaders AND knoghted.
We will see who is right eh?
Mine was a newsreader downunder BUT was British and knighte din 1979.
For teacher mike
Have the answer to the newsreader question - I went with Alistair Burnett and that was correct.
Thanks to all who took part.
teacher mike
Sorry, Senior Moment - my answer was Ian Trethowen which was the correct answer!
