UTV Day (at Night)

jason posted:
I got so much stick that year. It was my first year at Durham Uni, and somehow I let out that I was a TV pres fan whilst drunk, and TTTV in particular. My how they laid in when everything went totally arse-about-face.... Laughing

It didn't help when I got totally plastered a following time and tried to defend Tyne Tees against a bunch of Mancs who thought the sun shone out of Granada's bottom, and a heated drunken presentation shouting match ensued. This was in the middle of a student bar, and virtually the entire place got involved, you'd be amazed how much "ordinary" students seem to take in. We had Puffin's Plaice brought into the conversation and everything. I never quite lived that down Embarassed


I would have loved to be able to have had an argument about TV pres at uni: the only people I knew who were into it were on the internet! Very Happy

London bombings - TV news coverage

Sorry if this has already been reported, but BBC World have just been showing Panorama. It's on in our office in India, and it was very odd indeed to hear that familar theme tune!

Ian Stirling

DVB Cornwall posted:
A tribute on Westcountry tonight around 4-5 minutes.

With taped extracts with Gus and the final TSW closedown with Ruth Langsford featured.


That sounds lovely. I'm disappointed that I'm in India at the moment and wasn't able to see it broadcast.

Ian Stirling

That's very sad news. I was very fond of Ian, and he made watching television in the South West a real pleasure when I was growing up. He was only a couple of years older than my mum, so he wasn't particularly old either.

Max Foster

I'm sorry if this is old news, but has Max Foster left the BBC? I'm working in India at the moment and I've seen him do several reports on CNN.

Also, the most amusing news presenter ever is Richard Quest on the same station. I've never seen the news presented in such a flamboyant fashion.

Halifax adverts

They really are awful adverts. They always put me in a bad mood when I see them.
