No Tonight disappeared about 2 months ago, and was replaced by Live Lunch a similar programme but at lunchtime, sadly no Christine. She's gone off to present on Wellbeing (pants Lifestyle Channel that nobody watches). And don't think there is a connection with Fred ! Isn't he your on-screen weatherman ?

Fred does reports for Granada Tonight (usually live from events around the region) and usually does the voice over on the weather on Granada Tonight (not at any other time, because then we get your lot from Yorkshire!), sadly not on-screen, however! Perhaps he will be on-screen tomorrow, who knows?

Maybe it's a blessing that he's mostly off screen, especially with those dodgy jumpers he usually wears.

Ah, you see, after seeing them for as long as we have here in the NorthWest, you begin to grow fond of them. Fred IS the face of Granada, I've just decided! They should stick his face on the front page of the Granada website!

He is to Granada what Richard Whiteley is to Yorkshire !

Except that Fred Talbot is actually on Granada, whilst Twice Nightly Whitely hasn't, I presume, been on Yorkshire for donkey's years!

Fred used to do a really good science program on Granada (and Border as well I think), which was aimed at kids, but I loved it!

Nothing's changed! Forget what I put in my last reply to the Regional News Clips thread about capturing the new look Granada!

Anyone got a small explosive handy? I am off to blow up Quay Street.
How bloody annoying, after all the trailer and the reports promised us.
Oh sorry, they have a new presenter, how silly of me not to notice.
Twats.
