Moira Stewart became Britain's first female black newsreader in 1981, but Trevor MacDonald became Britain's first black newsreader when he began presenting the news on ITN in 1973. By the late 1970s, he had become so famous as a result of this that he was even impersonated by Lenny Henry on the teenage Saturday morning ITV show Tiswas, as Trevor McDoughnut - and memorably on one such show the real Trevor MacDonald appeared beside Lenny just as he was impersonating him!
