Tony
Morris is a man on a mission to find the weird and the wonderful
The
new face of 主播大秀 ONE current affairs in the North West, Tony Morris,
has accepted the task of scouring the region for fresh and challenging
stories for the new peak time programme Inside Out and is looking
for help in creating the full local picture.
His
brief is to create new and engaging features for Inside Out - Surprising
Stories from Familiar Places.
Tony and the team are actively looking for unusual stories on heritage,
lifestyle and history - the weird and the wonderful rather than
simply news and current affairs.
According
to Tony Morris, the region is a rich source of interesting stories
which are often overlooked: "The
number of times you pick up a story from a casual conversation at
a bus stop or while having a drink in the pub is incredible.
"These are the real stories we are looking to uncover, the
type of thing which makes people stop in their tracks.
"We're looking to get people talking through showing items
which bring the North West to life and make memorable thought provoking
television."
The peak time Monday night slot on 主播大秀 ONE features three different
regional stories each week and the series includes:
- Rare
archive film and fascinating insights into how local towns used
to look
- Looking behind the scenes and revealing local treasures
answering questions like: Why do we want to turn wildlife into domestic
pets?
- How did Cheshire come to be the wedding capital of the UK?
- Does
Cumbria really have the most haunted castle in England?
All the programmes will be made and produced locally and take a
new approach to involving the audience with different parts of the
life of the region.
The team are always on the lookout for fresh new local talent and
people with television presentation experience to work on future
programmes.
Inside
Out doesn't have a fixed agenda and so the subjects it features
do not have to follow a particular pattern - the only measure is
that they be stories that get people talking.
The participation of the audience is key to the success of the programme
in helping Inside Out to uncover those hidden gems and Tony Morris
in his mission to discover those stories just waiting to be told.
Inside
Out goes on air on Monday 9 September at 7.30pm on 主播大秀 ONE (North
West).
