As a kid at the time, the ITN crew were sort of part of the family to me. Suchet, Snow, Sissons, Stewart, Armstrong, Carpenter, Zeinab, Sir Alastair, old Sandy Gall and a huge part of the family was Carol Barnes. I was a big fan of ITN. They were all supremely talented and, in those days without gimmicks and banter, you couldn't see so easily into their personalities. That was what made their delivery special. They were authoritative, professional, reliable & often at ease w/ a warm smile.
i'm very sad to hear this news. Haven't been in the UK since 1989 as a kid, but Carol was one of my favorites. She was terrific on C4 Daily and across the schedule on ITN. Rest in peace.
