This was during Euro 92 hence the late start to Granada Tonight Weekend the following day as a result of ITV covering the Scotland v Holland match which was the 4:15pm kick off

I notice Lucy Meacock is still on it to this day.

[@darwenrover8910]

She must have been on Granada Reports/Tonight for over 30 years by now.

[@luke_miint]

She’s probably the longest serving ITV regional news presenter who’s still presenting behind Fred Dinneage

And Fred Dinneage retires this Christmas :-(

Bob Smithies (or Bunthorne if you did The Guardian's crossword on the back of the newspaper): how I miss his voice. He was also a great photographer too. Him, along with Anthony H Wilson and Bob Greaves, the voice of Granada Reports.

Apparently, lots of them felt really stupid doing this, thinking the audience would know it was fake. There was a Granada Reports anniversary item a few years ago, where they joked about it.

[@jasonwhitehurst4508]

do you have any complete editions from Granada reports from 1981 to 1984?

[@NeilMiles]

Sorry none at present

A bit worrying seeing Fred Talbot getting comfortable with the schoolchildren knowing what we know now.
