The highlight of the week was on a Friday night when ATV would screen a horror film after News at Ten under the umbrella title of "Appointment with Fear".
Everybody would have fun, with the continuity suite lights often being darkened, and Peter Tomlinson would appear clutching a teddy bear.
At a ceremony in the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts in Birmingham in April 2007, Tomlinson was named the new High Sheriff of the West Midlands.
"[2] Peter Tomlinson was elected as a councillor on 16 August 2016 on Worcestershire County Council after a by-election following the death of the incumbent Maurice Broomfield.
[8] At the Annual Meeting of the Council held on 16 May 2019 he was elected Chairman of the county (equivalent to Mayor) and became its first citizen for the year following.
