is their set beginning to fall apart already?

............................as the Bath Road studios of ITV West slowly and silently slide down the bank and into the River Avon.


Surely it's heading sideways into the graveyard next door?

Her name is Lisa Knights.

Now I can't claim to be an authority on these matters -- but you're surely not putting that face in your website?

My goodness.

Does that woman look bored out of her skull or does that woman look bored out of her skull?

Suppose that's how bad it gets when you've read it all at home last night in the Evening Post.

Actually she's sat there thinking to herself...

"Last week I was selling cheap tat on Ideal World and now I'm reading the ITV West Snooze headlines... where did it all go wrong?"

Quote:
Unlike Points Wests shot of Bristol as least ITV West have a nice shot of a spectacular display of architecture which represents the whole of the South West.

Why would a station broadcasting to the westcountry need to show something representing 'the whole of the south west'?

And in any case, the Clifton suspension bridge hardly represents the whole of HTV West's patch, it represents Bristol. It's just another case of a station thinking that 'respresenting it's region' means 'respresenting the place that we're based in' - just like the way Spotlight's backdrops are supposed to 'represent the south west' but actually just represent Plymouth.

Ive seen her presenting short bulletins on HTV West quite a few times but never on the main programme before.

HTV West do seem to use less well known presenters on their main programme a lot

Everybody at "the station formally know as" seems to be doing odd things at odd times at the moment.

I ran into Mr Rowell (without his knockers) in Trowbridge last Friday. He was on "gardening leave" for three days at the West Wilts Show.

And far too loud he was, too. You couldn't hear the BBC People's War talking suitcase properly because he was being over amplified just round the corner.
