A time like no other. This is a compilation of how the coronavirus pandemic unfolded in the north west of England. From the first quarantine set up at Arrowe Park Hospital, Wirral for British nationals repatriated from Wuhan, to the UK locking down and people trying to cope with their new reality, my reports helped tell the story of the first few months of the crisis.

Marking half a century of the second road tunnel under the River Mersey between Liverpool and Wirral, I was invited to have a look at the operation to keep traffic moving. Camera & drone: Mike Ledward.

I revisited a road in Crosby, Merseyside, where the residents clubbed together to support each other through the Covid-19 pandemic. (Camera: Paul Hilton, Drone: Simon Higginbottom)

This is from a series of video diaries I produced with people who had to continue working through the Covid-19 lockdown. Papa Osaghae was a bus driver in Burnley who fought through the weather and all the challenges of the pandemic to keep his service running.

One of the more unusual places I've presented a live broadcast from. This piece was all about the booming tourism industry in Liverpool. Camera: Jim Cook & Jahmal Williams-Thomas.

I spoke to some of the people in the north west of England whose lives were touched by Prince Philip.

From a small workshop in Birkenhead, Wirral, Davy Jones has been making props and prosthetics for some of he biggest names in the film and television industry. From Doctor Who to Band of Brothers and Pirates of the Caribean, his career spans four decades. But are computer graphics now threatening his livelihood?

A lovely story, shot beautifully by Jim Cook, about two twins from Warrington who were unable to communicate properly because one of them is deaf. Now their mum's learned British Sign Language and the whole family are starting to understand each other properly for the first time.
