Saving Ed Mitchell – ITV Documentary

The former ITN newsreader whose life was plunged into alcoholism and homelessness is the subject of an ITV1 documentary in which his former colleague Carol Barnes attempted to find out why it happened. Ed Mitchell’s story was splashed across the national newspapers after it emerged that he had fallen on hard times, together with a picture of himself and Barnes in Downing Street in the early 1980s when they were ITN colleagues. The stories and picture prompted Barnes to try to discover why Mitchell’s life had taken such a dramatic turn. The production team filmed with Mitchell over the Christmas period and monitored his progress during rehab. An ITV spokesman said: “Ed’s story has really captured the public imagination and the film promises to give a real insight into his life and the challenges he faces.” ~ The Guardian – Jan 2008 www.guardian.co.uk news.bbc.co.uk www.itv.com
