The Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Thread

ADVISORY: Hold fire until Monday Andrew, keep the faith!! I'm really peased you're able to see Peter again!!!

Also I hadn't realised the ident box said "Lincs & E Yorks", also do you get that "In Sleaford" announcement every night?

It changes almost daily; it could be 'across Bridlington, Lincoln and King's Lynn' on Monday....

Now who usually presents the late programme from Hull. I was expecting Peter Levy!

Also with Lisa on Paul's duty today, no doubt Breakfast was with a recorded london forecaster

Next week:-

'Hull Woman Reads Paper In Pub'
'Car Drives at 30mph in Hull'
'Hull Man Wins Bet on the 3.40 at Beverley'
'Jelly Baby Shortage in Hull Shop'

Michael Fish no less

Yes Christine often has one day off a week, Geoff also used to do as well (Gaynor and Geoff both did three days each this week)

Duncan was live from Waterstones in Bradford today and they were giving away copies of the new Harry Potter book in a competition!

There's been a lot of lesser seen presenters doing the local news round-ups this week, with the main sub-opt and the regionwide late news being read by Yunus, Geoff and Paul Burland this week. A lot of the main presenters like Faye Barker, Nicola Crompton and Gemma Calleja have been off all week and I don't know what has happened to Frazer Maude

Oh and also Anne-Marie Tasker was on Get Up and Go with Glen Campell last Thursday at 1430

Harry Gration hasn't gone to wimbledon yet as he did Look North Saturday

On Calendar it was unusual that two different presenters did the bulletins, it was Raj Shukla at 1pm and then Nicola Crompton at 5.10pm

Peter Levy presented the sunday bulletin from a self opt studio, well not the main studio in Leeds or Hull. So where does he present it from bear in mind the backdrop of Leeds?

Also saw Clare Frisby on Breakfast for thefirst time wasshe self opting? Also is the weather with Lisa pre recorded? Why don't they come from the main studio so Clare and Lisa could have a chat??!!

Peter Levy is in Leeds on Sundays to do his Sunday morning Radio Leeds show which has the region-famous 'Pontoon' game so it makes sense for him to remain in Leeds to do the Sunday evening bulletin. He's in Hull the rest of the week. I think he's done the bulletin in both the studio and self-opt.

Clare does the breakfast bulletin from the self-opt studio, which does not have enough room to accommodate herself and Lisa, even though Paul's Belmont forecasts do, I believe come from there. Lisa is therefore put into the main studio for her forecast.

I'm not sure why Clare and Lisa are kept apart, maybe InTune, our resident Look North news-breaker and 'man on the spot' can fill you in as to why this is. Did you enjoy seeing Clare and Lisa at work? What do you think of them, including Peter Levy? Hope you watch the Hull show tonight!!

I saw the friday Look North (Hull) with Helen Philpot(?) and Peter. Do they not have a soft set?? Shame no paul but Lisa got her hair stuck on her lip stick! HA HA.

I think peter is great. I do like Clare. Do you like Geraldine Peers?

No soft set, they barely have a main set, do they have to do every interview on a plasma from the newsroom?



Look North Sunday is always with Peter from the Leeds self-opt. Re Breakfast I recall being told on here that it needs to many resources to get the full studio in use at breakfast time, and it was always traditionally self-opted when Peter Levy used to do it. Lisa and Clare generally do exchange a small conversation when handing over to her during the breakfast bulletins
