The North East and Cumbria (and Southern Scotland) Thread

The red and white version of the '79 TTTV endboard got an airing + comment on last night, taken from the end of this classic documentary (clips from which made up the majority of the bulletin).

Very nice to see.

I'm sure that there is a new image behind Pam and Ian on Tyne Tees. The image has an updated look to the Baltic Flour Mills which previously had a spaceman on (the news didn't show this however now does show an image).

It also looks a little bit further back, as if there is more on show.

How long has Emma Baker of Anglia and that 'famous' GMTV blooper fame been at ITV Border? Presenting the news bulletins recently and apparently part of the Border Scotland programming.

She's working for ITV Scotland for a year.

@LinsteadSam ah thanks Sam.That's v kind of you.I've left Anglia for a yr to work on new ITV programme in Scotland.Still on Twitter though!

There's no such thing as ITV Scotland. She's probably doing a programme that will go out on the Network that's made by ITV...

Reporting Border?

There's no such thing, there's ITV TYNE TEES AND BORDER, and i'm led to believe there are itv news border bulletins pre recorded from Gateshead , as whenever i'm in the region, i'd only catch the Daybreak, or weekend bulletins.

She's presenting Border Life which is produced in Edinburgh. I believe she is also occasionally covering bulletins for Tyne Tees/Border, which comes from Gateshead.

you're no maggie mash

And what do you mean by saying that, is it so unthinkable that i possibly would be visiting family, who live in that part of the world...

Yeah... There is the stuff for Border Scotland - Representing Border and Border Life. Clearly working on 'Border Scotland' stuff it seems. Also as mentioned doing Border/TT bulletins.

Whatever happened to Lara Rostron? She used to be a regular fill-in presenter on Look North - but then she seemed to just vanish. What happened?
