The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

6 lb 3 oz, their daughter is called Eloise Paige Hudson..... sweet!

Tell me they didn't cover that in the headline opt-outs at 6pm.

I hear Katherine has already applied to be godmother.

Some captures of Calendar's Election section with Political Editor Tim Iredale

The current make up of our region, as you can see most Labour seats are in West and South Yorkshire with the Conservative seats in the more rural North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

Notice Christine and Duncan moved round to the side at this point, they don't bother putting out the 2 side benches thesedays if there are no guests

Sponsorless summary

Look North are using a "Voterhome" in the run up to the election
http://www.rp-networkservices.com/tvforum/uploads/voterhome.jpg
It's branded red for Look North on one side and blue for The Politics Show on the other side, they only film it from one side depending on which programme it is.
Does Look North Hull have one as well? Of course Hull viewers get to see it on TPS in any case.

I don't see why, when there's no sponsoer, they bother using a 'sting' like this into the weather, especially as it's preceded immediately by the generic ITV 'WEATHER' sting of approximately the same duration. It just looks very odd and unnecessarily cluttered.

The voterhome obviously wasn't approved by London - it's branding says "BBC1" rather than "BBC ONE"

Don't know what just happened, but rather than the Calendar preview during the Paul O'Grady Show, all we got was the camera panning randomly around the studio with Christine visible briefly shuffling her papers. It then cut to the static ITV1 'ribbons' holding slide before returning to Paul O'Grady.

He might be needed in the Hull newsroom at the moment - I am told morale within the ranks of tv staff is 'in tatters' due to 'management issues'.

Oh. My. God. Whoever next? Caribbean cookery with Rustie Lee? Maybe Bonnie Langford? Lennie Bennett anyone?

(apologies if any of the above has in fact died - I can't quite remember ... then again I doubt it'd matter to a Look North Hull journalist)

Bonnie Langford is far too famous - she's Sandi Tokvig's co-presenter on LBC and is currently sitting in for her...no far too famous.

They could always dig Dicky Turd's number out, and I hear the Chuckle Brothers are touring...

I think they were on one or t'other versions of Look North not so long ago
