The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

I'm getting Kay withdrawal symptoms!

Look North with Levy and co is nothing more than an entertainment show with all it's z list celebs coming in night after night, I miss the hard raw news of the midlands!

(for those who don't know, i have defected from the west mids to bloody skegness of all places)

Hello there I am new here and I am a fan of Central TV, as you probably guessed by my name, well it is now ITV Central. I cannot believe I have only just found this forum as it seems very popular.

Is there anything I should know about posting in this forum from your experience? Thanks and I look forward to the time ahead on here!

Surprised noone's mentioned the problem with the graphics on last night's 630 MT !

Tiswas Online, in the shape of Matthew 'Bunny Rabbit' Butler/Lewis, were interviewed by Sally James on the WM brekky show this morning, along with embarassing snippets from the Tiswas & Saturday Scene albums.

(Guys, if you're looking in, is Sally live in the Birmingham studio, or is she elsewhere ?)

Welcome to ITV Central by the way.

I hope so, as I just wanted to mention that some bloke by the name of Les Ross is sitting in on the breakfast show from February 21st to 25th.

indeed - i'll certainly dip in on my early morning next week.

its interesting that les has arrived, at the same time tony and julie are getting ready to pack their bags for radio leics. its all change at wm it seems.

fellow ship-jumper tony butler's show is fantastic, lets hope les can do similar!

Yes, what with Les, Ed and Tony, it's just like the "other place" in the late seventies.

Sad that Nicky won't be coming back.

A very large cheque could add to the old team and tempt me out of retirement to reprise the role of Saturday sports assistant!

Oh you must Nick...I think the West Midlands and Coventry could do with a bit of your charm and wit.

you could make anagrams from the sports results and everything.

<grin>

Bet you can't look out of the fifth floor window of The Mailbox and admire Saltley Coke Works!

sadly not, uni sex toilets and a tesco express - but no such lovely view. and i bet you didnt have to pay £1.50 to park your car and then walk miles to the front door either over at radio house!

No way.

We all parked for nothing on the patch of mud opposite which, I think, is now the Police Headquarters.

Butler would park his Morgan there too, if Villa were away. If they were at home and he thought he might be rude about their play as the fans were walking past, then he used to have it locked in the yard round the back.

Ahh..
The view from Studio 2Talks.
Making me feel all nolstagic...
