IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT PRESENTATION....

This last couple of weeks have been fairly busy, with another 2 interviews and a location shoot in Nottingham...

On April 1st we had the pleasure of heading into deepest Cheshire to meet with a former ATV continuity announcer, Diana Mather. What a pleasure this was, as Diana is the perfect hostess. This is not really surprising, because nowadays she runs finishing schools and etiquette classes, and calls herself an "etiquette guru". Diana fondly remembered her time there and was able to recount many stories from her time at ATV which will be featured in the programme.

Thanks to Diana we were able to meet up with another former announcer the following week, this time former Central presenter Jo Wheeler. Jo was also very talkative about her time at Central as presenter of The Magic Micro Mission and later as continuity announcer. These days Jo can be seen on the Sky News channel at the weekends where she presents the weather.

It was a pleasure to meet both of them and their stories will be enjoyed by viewers of 'From ATVLAND In Colour' I am sure....

In addition to all of that, some further filming took place last week at the former Central studios at Lenton Lane,Nottingham - home of Blockbusters, Price is Right and many other big productions in the 1980's and 90's. Of course the story we are telling is about Broad Street, so you may wonder what we were doing filming at a different site. Well the answer is simple, we will mention these studios as a part of the story of Broad Street, but much of the footage we have shot will probably be used in a future project, so watch this space....

Now that all that is completed, we are looking forward to more interviews coming up in the next few weeks, including Gary Terzza whom Matthew has been in contact with.... But as the title of this blog says - it isn't all about presentation - oh no - we will be having people from all areas of programming and production from Broad Street featured in our programme.
