A celebrity in our midst

 

You may have already seen the animated guides in the elections checklist on the far right-hand side of the site. But have you listened to the voiceovers?

 

Sir Trevor McDonald OBE has recorded voiceovers to accompany our four guides, which explain how to vote and how the results are calculated.

 

Sir Trevor's recognisable and trusted voice is a fantastic addition to our website. Voters logging on to the site can now watch the short clips and hear him clearly explain how to vote in person and by post and how the Mayor and the London Assembly will be elected.

 

Sir Trevor is a renowned broadcaster and was Britain's first black TV news anchorman. His clear, confident delivery and serious attitude have made him one of TV's most trusted reporters and he has won more awards than any other British broadcaster.

 

Sir Trevor has also recorded the script for the electronic counting video, which will go live on the site in early 2008.

 

In January Sir Trevor is returning to ITV News and ITN to present the relanched ITV News at Ten with Julie Etchingham.
