Ed Mitchell -Ed Who?

[tali122]

This week Tonight will have a feature on ITV news reporter Ed Mitchell and his well documented drink/homeless problems.(for which we all wish him well)

However, my problem is that I'm starting to think I'm living in a parallel world -i'll explain my confusion.

I can recall newsreaders all the way back to Kenneth Kendall, Reggie B and all the ITV newscasters/reporters BUT i haven;t got a clue who Ed Mitchell is or where he came from - i can recognise all his colleagues but even clips of his on the News -NOTHING even his name doesn't ring the slightest bell

In fact i have even tried to force myself to remember him

I can only assume he was regional - although there is no info to state this either

I'm sure he was a reporter with ITN. I vaguely remember him from those days but it was the 'Tonight' programme (this must be an update) that brought any memories back.



Very sadly this was probably Carol Barnes' last contribution to TV - and she was very good. Good enough to have had a new career as a documentary-maker. Her daughter pre-deceased her a few years ago so it's a sad story all-round when you consider Mr Mitchell's decline as well.

..... I wonder how long it will take some smart arse to think up an anti-Daily Mail comment.
