Rather thrillingly, this newspaper actually spins towards the viewer, 1930s Hollywood-style. By 1975, you could only get away with that always-enjoyable convention in a comedy. The use of the obviously real Rhodesia secondary story adds credence to the self-evidently made-up headline.
Perhaps a rather functional headline on the Daily Globe today. As this is the first frame of the episode, I wonder where the picture of the unfortunate millionaire was sourced from - I like to imagine that its the father of the continuity girl.
Manhunt was a 26-part French resistance drama, and pretty much relentlessly bleak and brutal. Obviously its a nonsense that French papers would have English headlines, but the moment when a a young Jewish woman uncovers a cache of these newspapers in the wardrobe of (what appears to be) a safe house is characteristically horrible.
Poetic justice at the end of an episode as the killer is killed in a car chase. The headline links the two deaths together in the same frame.
An unconvincing effort. The paper is too crisp, and the absence of any convincing surrounding stories doesn't make this edition of the Daily Mirror look genuine.
Here - via The Sun - we see the first example of a mock story in a real paper, complete with actual second story about Ron Greenwood ("England line up Ron for top job"). Note that the first paragraph of Cyril Line's story has been written for the newpaper's fleeting appearance, complete with two subheadings - "Serious" and "The key"
This is an anomalous one: A real cover for a fake paper. The plot of this boardroom drama requires a paper for the tycoon Sir John Wilder to plant stories that will be detrimental to his rivals in. Its implausible that this information is going to hit the front page, but its especially important that The Globe needs to look like a real newspaper in a series like this.
