AS a Low Spennymoor lad, I was fired up when I learnt that the BBC’s George Gently was to attend the school I left in the spring of 1957.

As a former detective chief inspector and passionate North- Easterner, I have enjoyed the earlier series and look forward to more screened action among locations familiar to me.

The prospect of visiting the old school excites me and I would welcome the opportunity, particularly if some of my former classmates were able to be there.

We had a reunion at Spennymoor Town Hall a decade or so ago – anyone for another get-together?

Thanks to Sue Watson (HAS, May 11) for her suggestion.
