ITV National Weather

I would have posted this in the weather thread but it seems to have been archived

A new face presented the ITV National Weather tonight, anyone know who he was?

It's ITV West's Alex Beresford

Does anyone know if the weather came from London or Bristol? It's strange that they didn't get Jon Mitchell or any of the GMG North team if Sian/Martyn/Becky weren't available.

I wonder if they will pluck any other ITV regional weather presenters to give them a stab at network presenting... would love to see Bob Johnson and his "skitey bits" from Tyne Tees, would not love to see Frank Mitchell from UTV though...

Its called political correctness, first black ITV weatherman and all that

oh yes of course a black man appears on TV = political correctness. what racist nonsense.

thats not a racist comment you idiot

When Jo from GMG North Presents does it come from Leeds or London. :

Sorry I think it is as well. It reads like you are saying Alex was chosen solely because he is black. Not because he is good at his job. People will quite rightly take offence at any such comment.

Jo Blythe has been standing in for the London team of late, not sure if it would come from Leeds or London. I'd imagine Leeds, I'm sure they can 'play it down the line' to London?

I'd like to see Emma Jesson on the national weather, wearing her pinstriped-suit, Elvis tie and signing off with her "bye-bye".... for no other reason than I'm sad

So would I! Its always good to see her and Charlie do the weekends weather on HTV Wales.
