Hi there,

I have changed details for Anne Mackenzie, as she started Grampian as part of the newsreading team in 1981. This has been documented in numerous Scottish newspapers and the old Grampian Television Studios website. The BBC press office also state that she started with Grampian in 1981. I also know this, as I can remember her on North Tonight in the early eighties when I was a youngster. I'd also dispute she was born in 1965, as she turned 47 today. I have done extensive research, although, would like to know your sources for your info.

Cheers :)

Hi back:)

I cant fault the amount of work you've done - it's remarkable. But quite a few things are wrong - for example her name- it's Mackenzie not MacKenzie; she didn't succeed Selina Scott - Anna Soubry did (remember her?) and after her came Joan Ingram; she didnt join GTV as a newscaster -she was a trainee and then a reporter. So she isnt the longest serving newscaster in Scotland by a long chalk - Jackie Bird's been at it longer than her. Also arguably she's not a newcaster now anyway - are Kirsty Wark or Jeremy Paxman newscasters? As for her age - well I'm going by what I was told - maybe you know better. But she doesn't look 47 does she?

All the best :)
