What about Sue Carpenter the ITN Newscaster from the 80's.

I remember her. Wonder what happened to her?

Speaking of former ITN Newscasters what are Carol Barnes and Julia Somerville doing now?

I don't know about Julia Somerville, but the last I read Carol Barnes is working as a barrister.

Interesting.

It was such a shame they got rid of Carol and Julia presenting the ITV1 bulletins and (I think) replaced them with Kirsty Young.

the post before yours has just said she co-voices Transworld Sport.

i think Carol Barnes is a magistrate rather than a barrister.

Carol Barnes apparently left broadcasting in 2004 after her daughter died in a parachute accident. Last I saw her, she returned as one of the late night presenters (along with Angela Rippon) in 2003 for coverage of the outbreak of the Iraq War - at least I think she did.
