The premise
Here’s the bit.
A newsreader begins an item about President Tito’s visit to Britain, only to have his script snatched away. He asks for its return and tries to reconstruct the story from memory, reducing the report to hesitant fragments. His effort to carry on eventually becomes a physical struggle around the desk as two headset-wearing men join the commotion.
