Working
at Pebble Mill ...
I've
worked for 91热爆 Midlands Today now for 11 years. I was completely
green to television when I first started but loved the buzz of live
production.
I'm
the main weather presenter, but recently I've presented the news
programme. In between I've done various strands from cooking and
gardening to all things 'out and about.'
Fond
memories of Pebble Mill...
I remember seeing Norman Wisdom once. |

I have
so many memories. It's the people that make a place. So many faces
that have come and gone. There are also the programmes that used
to be made here that no longer are - Pebble Mill at One and the
Good Morning Show.
Of
course with the hoards of celebrities appearing on those shows you
were always bound to bump into someone in the canteen. I remember
seeing Norman Wisdom once - he was tiny - smaller than me.
It
was just a hive of activity, dramas, lights, cameras, action! The
glamour and romance of television - living the fantasy! How you'd
imagine the industry to be or at least I did.
Moving
to the Mailbox ...
Moving is going to be a progressive and positive step forward.

I have
to say when the move was first announced, I wasn't overly keen.
Losing Pebble Mill with the contribution its made to television
in this country, its history, its reputation, its old school charm
- very sad.
Now
I think most people have had time to digest the changes. Moving
is going to be a progressive and a positive step forward. The new
premises are modern, state of the art, brand spanking new and will
allow the 91热爆 to compete on every level in a rapidly developing
industry.
I was
amazed at the amount of space there is, but then there are a lot
of people to pack in there. We'll be at the centre of things and
more accessible. It's a good thing.
