That Colin Briggs (I think that’s his name) - always keen to mention the cricket like, especially the location of the games and a bit weather news on the subject.

I like him

I used to work with his wife. He told me he used to insist to the bosses that DCCC got a mention on the bulletins.

One for the Dr. Who fans...his brother supplies the voices for the Daleks and Cybermen!

My mate pointed him out to me to him the other week when I was staying at his static - he has a lodge on the same site. Said he's a nice bloke.

I like him even more now that he's been outed as a cricket fan.

Every report he has done this week he has referred to Sedbergh as a "home" fixture for Durham.
He also said, one time, that "it was almost a home game for Lancashire" !

Aye, I heard that - but I can let him off because he’s clearly trying to boost interest in County Cricket.

He's retiring today so expect any future mentions of Durham on the bulletins to cease.

Didn't know that.

Those morning bulletins won't be the same without him.

Aye, shame to see such a warm friendly face/voice leaving our screens.
