Northern England and Southern Scotland Thread

I know was great to have Tim back presenting shame it wasn't with Fee mind, but he just seemed at home to me as Lookaround really is his baby. Kate Fisher was always the best with Adam Powell though they just used to giggle all the way through the whole programme.
Any news on Adams and Jonathans whereabouts these days? I heard Jonathan was with the BBC in Newcastle?

Good old times if you live in the Border... here I'm left with the feeling "Who the heck are these two?"

I have to say this show goes from bad to worse! Is this the best they can do?
Thank heavens for Look North

Now come for TTTV personalities you don't do too bad look at the main programme - Pam, Ian, Simon, Pip, Alex, Helen Ford, Greg, - all from Tyne Tees.

Huh?

The majority of newcasters are from Tyne Tees not Border. Rarely we have Tim or John.

I recorded NET it was funny seeing tim present that too...

They are on my youtube both programmes

Tim's only one of a handful of staff who transferred from Border, the rest either left or were made redundant.

Anyway, can we stop all this wittering on about Helen Ford? This thread is meant to be a discussion about news coverage in Northern England and Southern Scotland, not a discussion on Helen's newsreading abilities or how many nights Tim Backshall pops up on Lookaround/NET. It's actually starting to become rather boring and has gone way off-topic.

You cant tell me what and what not to discuss!

As long as it's not about Helen Ford...

Most of the time its Pam and Ian who just don't work together. They look as if they don't get on and there's no banter between them. And whoever thought it was a good idea to let Gregg present? Such a boring voice and often he looks like he can't be bothered.
Pip should still be presenting instead of weather.

There's no chemistry between any of them. I'd go so far as to say to have Jonathan Morrell and Pam (or Pip) alternate duties with Tim and Fiona. Why they got rid of Jonathan is beyond me.

Im sure they all got offered redundancy with others deciding to take the money and run rather than work in a massive new super region with changing job roles. Furthermore could see the writing on the wall that ITV regional news is nearing the end of its life.
