I wonder if they maintained links with Channel as a contingency after the Saint Malo incident? Seemed to work pretty well here given the circumstances.

I know from my short time at Spotlight in 1997 there were still some links with Channel back then and I think (I might be wrong) Spotlight even sent bits of an old set out for Channel to use.

Some great archive on the site and YouTube videos. Brought back lots of memories for me growing up in Devon... the likes of Chris Denham, Fern Britton, Jill Dando, Craig Rich and even Valerie Sanderson.

And then getting to work with Russell and Theresa and actually using the Plymouth pres studio to do Breakfast bulletins and a highlight for me doing BBC Two continuity in the days when regional progs were shown (I got to say is BBC Two South West).
