The interviewee in Lincoln being ex Calendar presenter Alan Hardwick, no less.

With limited techie people around it's a miracle they got the Lincoln studio on air - I think that still gets routed via Nottingham

Peter Levy presenting all three Look Norths from Leeds - seems very strange! Must be his first time in St Peter's Square despite it opening nearly 10 years ago now.

I *think* he was still doing a token Radio Leeds show at the weekend when they moved.

I'm assuming they've brought Peter over to Leeds because Harry and Christa are off and they wanted somebody fairly senior to present across the three regions.

Yes I would guess so. Look North are padding out a rubbish interview with an police commissioner interview down the line from Lincoln (with very poor picture quality and sound, and guest unable to hear Peter properly)

Look North used the short (Leeds) titles with Peter running through the headlines in vision with no clips or anything.

Is there any reason why there not using Studio E?

The empty newsroom behind it?

Looks like the three Look North programmes are the only ones not to have opted back to network. Even if they are showing an Inside Out report as a filler.

Strangely, this program has actually been around 5-10 minutes longer than normal!

Only one thought after that extra long program - please, never bring Peter Levy back to Leeds again.

That had to be the best Look North programme - it had news in it

They could save a fortune by merging them - far more entertaining.

No Focus on Africa on the BBC World Service with the strike being mentioned as the reason why by the announcer. Instead there a documentary - African Perspectives.

It's a shame the weather software seemingly doesn't allow Paul to show maps for the whole of the north.

A different documentary is on the main English feed. News was read by Mary Hockaday - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/mary_hockaday/.
