I grew up watching the great Mike Neville reading the news for Look North, on the black and white TV in the corner of our living room, so it is hard to believe I have been given the chance to do his old job.

I will be keeping the seat warm for Carol over the next eight months, until she returns from maternity leave in the New Year.

Just like Mike, Carol is widely regarded as one of the BBC's best television presenters. So, no pressure on me there, then!

During the football season, I will continue to host our Monday night football slot with Mark Clemmit, though with fewer Premier League teams than we are used to.

Having covered sport for the past 24 years, since my first full-time job with the Birmingham Post & Mail newspaper group back in 1985, I'm looking forward to dealing with the everyday issues which make front page news, as well as the stories which fill the back pages.
