She's a particularly talented and insightful reporter - with great journalistic skills?
Or she's aesthetically pleasing?

Actually BOTH.
And it's important that someone both looks good on camera AS WELL as being a good journalist.

It's £556.00 now! And there's over a week to go.....
Good idea, but it would have been better if it was an actual piece of the set or one of the old set's or something, not a bottle with a dodgy picture on top. Though it was interesting when they dug out the old clips and it makes you realise what has been produced at Granada for almost 50 years now.

The ITV50 part of Granada Reports tonight was certainately worth a watch, as it had a look back of the titles/theme tunes to Granada Reports and Granada Tonight, including a 1970's version I haven't heard before. The first CGI titles from 1986 when Granada Reports relocated to the Albert Dock, and the original 1990 Granada Tonight titles, which according to Paul Crone were probably nicked from Dallas or Dynasty.
They also looked at Presenters and Reporters at their finest moments, such as Paul Crone in 1987, but the best had to be at the end, when they showed a clip of Granada Tonight from 1992 in the Lucy Meacock/John Huntley era when they tapped the keys into the keyboard to cross over to a Live link, which you could tell was very fake.
And Studio 2 Air appears to be reaching £1000, with Tony Morris almost destrorying it in the Studio.

Caught that briefly yesterday - it was so funny - though I'm sure none of us batted an eye-lid in the days they actually did it!
Still find the forced banter between Tony and Lucy excruciating to watch though!
Whatever happened to Tony Barnes (think that's right!). I remember him leaving then cropping up on something like Five News once or twice before completly disapearing!
