Is it just me or does the newsreader for Look North bear a resemblance to Richard Hammond?

[clairebbbear]

Wow, check out the eyebrows of the Newcastle newsreader!

Paddy Macdee was a newsreader on Look North during the 80's and 90's and is now a breakfast presenter on bbc newcastle radio and he actually hails from southern ireland

Yeah, they are still in New Bridge Street. The weather map and studio confirm that. When they moved to Fenham, they got a whole new look.

[doubledeckers]

I don't think they moved out of the New Bridge Street studios and into the 'pink palace' until Jan 1988. I have some recordings about that but they aren't dated.

The North East News no doubt came from that then-new building featured so prominently in Geordie Racer ...

Network announcer is David Miles, and the RT trailer is voiced by Charles Nove. I suspect that's Roger Limb music at the start of the trailer (I neither know nor care whether he had anything to do with that particular version of the DW theme).

he didn't have owt to do with it. It was entirely Keff McCulloch.
