Fantasy Press Releases

LOOK NORTH'S NEW PRESENTER REVEALED

Look North unveiled their new presenter in a Press Release issued by the programme's Newsgatherine Editor earlier today. 26 year old Katherine Birkett, of Boston in south Lincolnshire, previously a presenter amd broadcasting assistant on BBC Radio Nottingham will join Peter Levy and weather forecaster Paul Hudson on the programme in March. This has come about as a result of current presenter Helen Fospero's promotion to national newsreading with the BBC.

"I'm looking forward to the challenge of presenting alongside such a well-established partnership and bringing news to this part of the country", remarked Katherine; "I hope I can rise to the challenge of verbal sparring between Peter and Paul, and hopefully complement it. Maybe I'll get my own few digs in from time to time!"

Newsgathering Editor Roger Farrant says he is confident that Katherine will make a positive and confident partner to Peter Levy; "She is already known throughout Nottinghamshire for her sometimes cutting wit and no-nonsense approach and we believe the positive aspects of that will come to the fore on-screen." Peter Levy is "very happy" that Katherine has been chosen to partner him on the show, which serves East Yorkshire, the city of Hull and Lincolnshire.

Katherine will also present the Saturday evening pan-regional news bulletin from Leeds which serves West and South Yorkshire and the north Midlands as well as the east of the region.

Oh yes, I mean Emmerdale ought to be about crop rotation, shearing sheep, and the harvest festival.

Yes, that would be really popular with today's viewer wouldn't it ? And if it was about those things above, it wouldn't be here today would it ? It's a case of evolve or die.

Get with it, the world is leaving you behind.

Look at the thread title, you ****.

Who's Guy Burnett? : IMDB dunno who he is either...



Who's Emily Symmonds? I can find everybody else on IMDB - Kelvin Fletcher's out of Emmerdale, Philip from Brookie, Ian Kelsey has been in Casualty, Susie Amy - Footballer's Wives!

Now this doesn't actually sound like a bad idea. The BBC cash in on their back catalogue and it does work. Remember in 1995 when they put Fawlty Towers on in a primetime slot on Saturday night BBC1 - a time when traditionally you go for new programming. Undeniably a cheap filler, but what happened? It drew an audience of tens of millions (I think it actually beat ITV's brand new programming) and introduced a whole new generation to the series (I even remember it being discussed at school).

ITV have a huge array of decent programming from their past (ironically, some of which has now ended up on BBC2), most of which they still can transmit if they want to. Why don't they make greater use of it? If a repeat can pull in ratings of millions (I won't pretend that everything can, but a lot of what's in their archive potentially could), then surely that's a win-win situation? ITV do actually have a policy where a certain amount of their output (I think it's a third) must be repeats in order to save money, why not think a bit further afield from yet more reruns of David Jason dramas or stuff that is being repeated from last year?

CROSSROADS SUPPORTERS GIVE UP MOANING

ME (London) - Unconfirmed reports suggest that Crossroads fans have given up going on and on about the bloody show being axed. They're realised it's totally pointless and nobody else actually gives too hoots.

RI:SE Relauched as Reality TV Show
Channel 4's morning RI:SE show is set to be relaunched with a new Reality TV edge to it, where 2 presenters try to vote off as many viewers as possible.

"MAJOR OVERHAUL FOR ITV1"
cooltempest - Oh my GOD! I can't beleive that, IS THAT TRUE?!!



CHANNELS JOIN FORCES
BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and five will be joining forced in 2005 to create 10 new channels - Entertainment, Soap & Drama, Movies, Sport, News, Reality TV, Gold, Childrens, Gameshow, and Interactive channels.

These new channels will come under one company called FUX TV. The idents will involve 5 searchlights, 3 tapdancers dressed in red, a big 2 on fire, 3 blue blocks & one yellow block, Graham Norton playing Rounders in his kitchen, and a huge blurred fffiiivvveee chasing a screaming Kirsty Young around a newsdesk.

An example of some of the programmes that will be shown on these channels include Chris Tarrant and Anne Robinson presenting a new gameshow called Who Wants to be the Weakest Link, Ant & Mel presenting RI:NSE in the morning, and Dec & Sue presenting 'Dec & Sue's Thursday Night Takeaway'.

Several new soaps will be hitting your screen including 'Coronation Square' where Les Battersby leaves Cilla and goes out with Janine, 'Emmerby City' set in a hospital and its neighbouring farm.

A news update will be shown every hour on the News channel, with Kirsty Young presenting with Trevor MacDonald on an orange bench, a bright white and red flashing desk, infront of a newsroom on a huge rotating platform. Bosses have said the new music is likely to be "totally FUXed up"...

I did say/post any of that,

I just qouted Major Overhaul for ITV1 thinking it was true.

*bangs head against desk*

As Homer Simpson more than once said....

...D'OH!
