Blogging from ITV Local

Imagine a Luddite being strapped to a chair in a room full of spinning jennies and water frames.

Done it?

Now put yourself in my shoes. At the moment I’m sitting in the gallery watching tonight’s edition of ITV local being put together. And I - the man who has not owned a TV set since 1998 - can reveal that the programme will end with a feature about a surfing dog. I don’t know the dog’s name; but to be fair I don’t remember the names of the two presenters.

They do look strangely familiar, though.

All the technical stuff, though, is impressive if incomprehensible. The four other bloggers who are with me - including one who blogs on girl geekery - seem completely unfazed.

Anyway, phones off. Back later.
