SaintSparky Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 As you may know ITV Meridian are merging the two Meridian regios (South and East) with the Thames Valley news service in to one less than local region to save cash. Fred "Skate" Dinenage has predictably survived the cull to head up the show for the whole of the mega-region. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4045925.Debbie_Thrower_is_leaving_Meridian_Tonight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 14 January, 2009 Share Posted 14 January, 2009 Now, now, settle down. Many of us grew up with Fred, Bunty James, Jon Miller, and Jack Hargreaves, with the original HOW..? I'd come home from school and shortly after, How? would be on. Fred would do the jokey How's and Bunty would do the girly ones. Jon would do the techy ones, and Jack would do the historic ones. Hence this one - how to get the ship in a bottle. We all know how it's done, but as a kid in the 1960's, I didn't: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1-aoUNBbE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 Does that make him any less of a smug ***t? Not at all. There's no doubt his smugness has reached rarified heights, nowadays. I reckon it's due to his complete contentment that despite totally lacking any semblance of talent, he has managed to carve out a career giving him a lifestyle few of us could aspire to.

Durleyfos Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 I stopped watching ITV local news ages ago, just after they changed the studio backdrop to The Skate Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warsash saint Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 I liked the post on the Echo website stating that Drainage is a Nazi with his Hitler salutes at the end of each broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFartPants Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 They should have kept Debbie on as well but probably got rid of her for the Asian bird to please Asian viewers or some other political sh*t like that. Well worked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he still dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
