Continuity stopped coming from Newcastle in 1996, the studios there were still used until 2005 when they moved to a new complex in Gateshead where they broadcast from now.
I remember that episode of Frost first time round, plus the Cop breaking the bad News to Frost is Jack out of Hollyoaks.
We stayed in a Hotel in Bournemouth about ten years ago and we managed to see Andrew Brittain staying in the same Hotel, as he was a Granada News presenter at that time.
Well, I've been hearing him voicing those Topps Tiles ads after the ITV national weather, narrating ITV's tribute programme about Jeremy Beadle, doing radio ads for the Highways Agency and announcing for Makro.
Hey Col, did Maggie Mash really move to Tyne Tees at this time?

No, by this time Tyne Tees continuity was coming from Leeds, same as Yorkshire Television.

Oh yes of course I remember now when I was younger. What happened to the studios in Newcastle then?

Ah, the dying days of World in Action when some of the final programmes wouldn't have looked out of place on Tonight with Trevor McDonald.
Maggie Mash, Trish Bertram and Nick Oliver take the mic.
P.S. Has anyone noticed that Andrew Brittain has been voicing quite a few things lately?

The only place I've heard Andrew Brittain lately has been on the TV screens they have in Sainsbury's at Jackson's in my neck of the woods :)

Yes Andrew Brittain was also regular voice over on 11 series of Stars in their eyes when Matthew Kelly did the show.
