ITV News - The Killer on the Block is Not Swine Flu, It's Obesity - And It's Contagious!
by
John McPhie
By the end of this year, hundreds of millions of pounds will have been spent on swine flu: hundreds of millions on what has turned out to be a mild flu virus. Yes, of course it's wiser to be safe than sorry: the precautions that have been taken are commendable. It might have been an altogether different story. However, what this whole episode has highlighted is the amount of money, time and effort we are prepared to throw at an unknown flu virus which might have resulted in a much higher annual flu mortality rate, but yet we do precious little to address the obesity epidemic, a killer which is the cause of millions of deaths across the world every year.

Why is BBC Regional News Rushing to Help Its Beleaguered ITV Opposition?
by
Graham Majin
ITV regional news in the UK seems to be in terminal decline and it's not all due to the global recession and the downturn in advertising revenue. Competition from the publicly funded BBC is also having a major impact. In a strange twist, the BBC is now offering to help its struggling commercial rival, but why?

by
John McPhie
When it comes to obesity, Doncaster is a community in crisis. The town has one of the highest levels of obesity in the country. Unless people can be persuaded to change their eating and lifestyle habits, the great people of Doncaster are going to become a blighted community. It's not something they deserve.

Doncaster Health - Mobilising the Power of Community
by
John McPhie
Doncaster and Corby have something in common. They both have an obesity problem. It is a problem that both the Government and local health care professionals are becoming very concerned about. Why? There are two reasons. The first, which was highlighted recently in an ITV News Special piece on obesity, is cost. Obesity related diseases are costing the Doncaster Primary Care Trust 91 million a year. In a population of 67,000 that represents 1400 per person. The second reason is that obesity is sapping the strength of the community. People in these two communities face a life where they will be unable to reach their true potential, they are very likely to have health problems and their old age will not be one that they will enjoy.

The Day Today - This Is The News!
by
Paddy Duffy
The Day Today as with so many other British comedies produced precious few episodes, but the proportionate impact of those six episodes has been immense. Originally aired in early 1994 following the success of their radio prelude On The Hour, The Day Today covered the news, and by extension the news industry, with surreal accuracy. With Chris Morris providing an eerily accurate impression of Jeremy Paxman in a studio that bore a striking resemblance to ITN's News At Ten set of the time, one of the show's great strengths was the casual viewer could flick through and not realise...

Tearing Down The House - A Love Affair With 'Not The Nine O'Clock News'
by
Michelle Duffy
The art of the alternative comedy era was firstly, one of excitement and anti establishment. Hardly a ground breaking prospect when you think about it in today's terms, yet a show like 'Not The Nine o'clock News,' was floodlit in it's forward thinking, surrealism in the same light as Python in the Sixties and The Goons further back in the Fifties. Young comics were suddenly given the full park to charge around in. They could think, act and perform in every way or shape possible. Since making social comment a joke had been something only left to the domestic absurdities through situation comedy in 'Father, Dear Father,' or 'Bless This House,' now, all at once, the man in the street or the blind woman crossing the road was open to ventfuls of ridicule. Young talents could create comedy out of every day life, far from the comforting surroundings of behind the front door.
