Dickie Bird - total legend, charming, lovely and full of fascinating tales. A life well lived. He even let me pretend I was Eamonn Andrews on our final visit for @5_News when we talked all things Yorkshire.
4 years in jail for the pair who chopped down the world famous Sycamore Gap tree. The judge said it was “bravado and thrill seeking”. Daniel Graham, on the left, filmed their crime while Adam Carruthers felled the tree. Today we heard they both finally admit their guilt. @5_News
And this is the remaining stump at Hadrian’s Wall today. You can see new growth sprouting and seeds have been used to grow new saplings from the original 150 year old tree. @5_News

I’ve spoken to relatives of one of the girls attacked this week in Southport. She’s critically ill in hospital, with 13 stab wounds. They say the situation is “hell” and they fear she’ll never emotionally recover. More details on @5_News at 5pm.
What a cracker of a docco #tabloidsontrial was and how great to see esteemed former colleagues like @emmaslifkin @BeccaBarry @LightHackers @PaulMackeson and @linxhooper all making it happen. Got to love the @itn family. 🎥🎬📺
Very sad to hear the legendary @TheMirageLV is closing. Happy memories of its volcano (every hotel should have one) and the @Cirque #BeatlesLOVE show there was spectacular.

Threads terrified me as a kid. An amazing TV moment. Can you help find the traffic warden?
Rob (@spectralfilms) and I are seeking the identity of the traffic warden in THREADS for a documentary on the film. If you know who played this iconic character or have any leads for us, we’d love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] with any information. Thanks!
