Which Bridge

[woodelf]

On the regional ITV news programme Meridian Tonight, which bridge is shown in the background while Fred Dineage and whoever are reading the local news, etc? Ta Muchly.

Maidstone bridge

(I think that is all it's called, can't find another name for it)

[woodelf]

Lanks a thot Chuck...smile.

[T&S]

Is Fred Dineage still going?! I remember him from his HOW days!

[woodelf]

Yes, T&S, good ole Fred is still going strong, weekdays at 6 pm and I too remember him from How?...and every now and again he throws in a memory of then too.

[squarebear]

Yes and he used to do a game show called Gambit when I was a lad too. He must be knocking on now.

[ChuckFickens]

I've got to admit I did misread the question at first and thought it said that Fred Dibnah was presenting meridian tonight, which made me do a double take!

[T&S]

Gambit...now that takes me back!

[woodelf]

Yep, me too, I remember Gambit as well.

[woodelf]

...and no doubt Catweazle too - nowt to do with Fred but I just loved Catweazle...smile.

Fred might be getting on, but I think he still looks exactly the same, very well preserved!!

[woodelf]

If you say so Pips...I can't see him anymore - by the way, who knows where the Meridian tv studios are?...Southampton or...?

Talking of Fred does anyone remember the sports guy on with him called Christoher Peacock who was always called Chris? Only dear old Fred used to roll the two names together and ended up as ************. We always referred to him as Chrispy in our house.

[woodelf]

You got me beat on that one Mike.
