While tonight, Kenny's report on the Aston Martin found in Scotland didn't look like it had been de-interlaced before broadcast. No comment on the poor picture quality leading out of the report.


Don't think you mean de-interlaced?

UK News broadcasters predominantly shoot interlaced and all UK broadcasts (SD and HD) are in an interlaced format (though can be originated progressive) If they shoot progressive they don't need to be de-interlaced, if they shoot interlaced they don't need to be de-interlaced.

If you reverse your field-dominance you can get very juddery pictures, and if you scale interlaced content as if it were progressive you can get some nasty motion artefacts.

Not sure what you are trying to say?

Neither do I, hence why I said "...it looked like it hadn't been deinterlaced" - not saying that was the precise problem, but to me, a similar situation. Thanks for the clarification, noggin.

Anyhow... news from tonight's RTS North East and Border awards, and the great Kenny Toal has won Journalist of the Year and Scoop of the Year. Couldn't have gone to a nicer bloke, really.

At the risk of sounding like a t!t, but what does de-interlaced mean, Col?

I hope that helps...


Thanks. Yes, it does indeed.

Just came across this on YouTube back from 2010. It's the start of North East Tonight done live from the Tall Ships in Hartlepool with a remixed set of opening titles.

The musics beautiful. Does anyone know who came up with it? Was it an in-house remix or a remix done by Dave Hewson himself?

No it was a remix done by (I think) Tyne Tees. Dave had nowt to do with it and was 'surprised' when he heard it.

Worth noting TTTV's long serving political reporter Gerry Foley has been absent for a wee while - we've had the likes of Ben Erlam and Alison Mackenzie (?) introduced as political reporters. Although news reporter Helen Ford travelling to London and presenting the Around the House prog.


External vacancy now being advertised on ITV Jobs for a political correspondent serving the ITV Tyne Tees & Border and ITV Yorkshire regions.

Gerry Foley has been absent from screens since, well I can't remember seeing him since last summer.

Ben is at Calendar, Alison (ex Radio 1) used to be at Central East when that truly existed.

Gremlins again at Gateshead tonight.

The weather forecast - at least for Tyne Tees and I suspect the same for Border - won't play out, so after ten seconds, it's back to the studio where, from the sofa, Ross gives an impromptu forecast without maps... and did a very decent, respectable job of it all.

I can remember that happened to Philippa once.

Presumably only Tyne Tees failed...?

I remember an edition where instead of the forecast they showed the 5.55 trailer in full complete with Pam & Ian looking busy and then flicked to the Border forecast mid-way with no apology at the end. Made an effort today then.
