BBC to spend £25 million on programmes in the North East

[Some Random Guy]

I've said it before but I'll say it again:

The world needs a gritty reboot of Geordie Racer.

Hopefully the North East and not just Newcastle.

Sorry to piss on the parade like, but £25m will not even touch the sides.

Tokenism at its finest.

I work in this industry, it's not just about things being filmed here it's also about post production of other programmes. I'm not sure on what programmes yet but it is definitely good news. It could be more money but 5m a year to the TV and film industry up here is decent.

The investment is good news but the amount is awful.

A daily live TV show will cost a fortune.
