RDJ's posts

…and finally

“Well that’s just about it from me. As you may know our colleagues on TV Live Forum take over from tomorrow. So with thanks to Asa, the Mods and all the past and present members since 2001; this is RDJ bidding you a fond farewell.”



“And that’s the way it looks tonight. And that brings to an end my association with TV Forum. Thank you for watching and thank you for all your generous messages. Goodnight, and goodbye.”



“And March the 31st also marks the end of our stay here at TV Forum. Thank you for watching. A firm goodbye from me. Brand new forum tomorrow. Keep watching, bye bye.”



“It’s an overworked expression when people say it’s the end of an era. But for TV Forum, for me and possibly you - it really is the end of an era. I hope your memory will be very kind to us. After 3,310 from me - Bye!”



“This is TV Forum. Well don’t forget we have plenty more entertainment to come over on TV Live Forum. Well things are going to be a little different from tomorrow won’t they Trish?

They certainly will Glen. From tomorrow TV Live Forum will be comin’ atcha with a whole new look. Which means.... sadly... this is where you and I bow out.

Certainly is, but it’s been fun though Trish.

It’s been many years Glen!

So for the final time, from the servers on the World Wide Web, this is TVF, Television Forum.”

Downing Street Briefing Room

It’s getting its first outing tonight at 5pm in the latest briefing.

Tyne Tees & Border/Look North (NE & Cumbria)

Shame there was no mention of Pam’s infamous foray on to It’ll Be Alright On The Night back when she did LWT News.

Tyne Tees & Border/Look North (NE & Cumbria)

Not many regional faces would get tributes from New York from Sting and Shaggy and from Ant & Dec.

Ian was more emotional about it than Pam was. A suitably shorter farewell was broadcast on Lookaround with highlights of the past 12 years.

Now Mastermind needs a new presenter

Simon McCoy

Asa’s GB News alarm is going to be blaring now! Seems discussion about GBN can never be avoided. Not that it’s going to matter in a few days time.

A great signing for GBN but has a very negative reaction on Social Media. I must say it’s very disheartening to see him shift to an outlet of opinion based right wing broadcasting.

Ex-wife. They spilt two years ago. He’s now partnered with former Dynasty actress Emma Samms.

Wowzers! Say it isn’t so! The McCoy has left the Beeb!

Terrible news. Any hopes of Afternoon Live returning to air sometime soon have now been completely shattered.

Where next? GMB have a vacant slot. It would be a travesty if he doesn’t make a swift return to mainstream broadcasting very quickly.

BBC to move more roles outwith London

Birmingham gets a lot of flack as most people still assume it’s the 1960’s concrete jungle that it used to be about 20 years ago.

It’s reinvented itself but with no representation from the media in recent years due to Pebble Mill being demolished then I find it goes under the radar nowadays and no one is familiar of how the city is nowadays.

It’s officially the city with the youngest population across the whole of Europe which is a lesser known fact. So BBC Three being based here is ideal.

Hoping the Commonwealth Games may change people’s perceptions somewhat.

EastEnders

“Nid ti yw fy mam!” “Ydw ydw i!”

South West England & CI Thread

I think it’s been a decade exactly this month actually. They had a temporary set up between December and March for the current set to be put into place.

Seems crazy to think that Chris Vacher was still presenting Points West from this set by the time he retired and he left nearly ten years ago.

This Morning

This Morning showing a look back of the past year including some glimpses of rehearsals of Philip and Holly broadcasting the show from their homes with the remote camera set up.
