Granada TV 1978-80

For a while I worked at Granada TV in Manchester as a local programmes researcher and, towards the end of my time there, as an occasional presenter on the weekly regional arts programme Celebration.

I was never without my camera which is how these behind-the-scenes pictures came about.
