MP Expenses As Live

Last night I went to Farnham in Surrey to cover a meeting called by the local MP to explain his expenses. Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, is thought to be the most senior MP to come clean about all his expenses.

I put together an 'as live' for the ITV Meridian late news but as it was such a short bulletin, we used a soundbite from the MP instead. Nonetheless, it was good experience. Here's the presenter's link into the 'as live':

"A Surrey MP has tonight answered questions about expenses at a meeting attended by four hundred of his constituents. Jeremy Hunt, the MP for South West Surrey has been criticised for claiming £37,000 over three years for a second home in Farnham rather than commuting to Westminster. Cameras weren't allowed into the meeting at the Maltings in Farnham but our reporter Mark Ansell was there."

Showreel

I've recently put together a showreel of some of my best bits on TV.

Copp Out

Late last night, after his Reading team lost the play-off semi final against Burnley, Steve Coppell resigned as manager.

The day before, I went to Reading's training session to interview Coppell for ITV Meridian about the match. As you'll see, there was no sign he was on the verge of leaving.
