From his first news broadcast in 1957, the tag-line Henderson used to sign off at the end of every newscast was either ''"...and that's the way it is."'' or "the way it is". At the end of his final bulletin, Henderson's voice wavered as he told viewers it was time to watch the news, not present it: "Not the way it was, as has been suggested, but for the last time, the way it is, this Friday the 29th of November, this is Brian Henderson - a sad Brian Henderson - saying not goodnight, this time, but goodbye."〔(2003/169/5 Pen, plastic, used by Brian Henderson, made by Pentel, Japan, 2002 - Powerhouse Museum Collection )〕 In 2012 Henderson came out of retirement to narrate a documentary for the Foxtel network: ''"The Train: The Granville Rail Disaster''", which examines the aftermath of the 1977 rail disaster and the heroism of the rescue workers.〔(The way it is: Brian Henderson back for TV doco | The Sydney Morning Herald 12 December 2012.
