The One Show's Gyles Brandreth has taken a nostalgic look at old telephone exchanges and British telephone etiquette.

In the days before the mobile phone, there was an element of charm and romance in making a call - even a sense of occasion.

But now? Have the old fashioned courtesies disappeared? Does telephone politeness belong in the past?
