The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

If she managed to get the BBC to fork out £120k for her, no wonder people creep towards her. The don't like her (how could you) they just want her to buy a drink.

I can just see Ackroyd in a prison cell beating the brown stuff out of somebody shouting 'who's the daddy....who's the daddy' Somewhat scary.

So Hannah Moffat now has the news for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire at breakfast time. There's no on screen system but there is an on screen clock.

Over in Leeds and Clare's breakfast weather and travel system and on screen clock is still missing for the second week, so they've either broken it or the idea has been dropped?

Is Hull getting a recorded weather forecast from Lisa or from the London provided regional forecast? Or is Hannah doing it as a meteorologist herself?

Lisa at Breakfast, Paul at Lunchtime for Hull

Correct - I've received confirmation about this from Peter Levy in an e-mail sent yesterday.

Peter will be doing three lunchtimes per week, and Helen Fospero two. Hannah will deputise for both as and when needed. E-mails and banter will be included too!!

As far as I could see this lunchtime Paul was recorded on the Leeds programme so presumably he's live on the Hull show.

Leeds Lunchtime Look North really has gone downhill hasn't it, at one time it was the only place to see the unmissable banter and people made an effort to tune in. Now there's no banter at all so there's no point tuning in when Calendar Lunchtime News is on 40 minutes previous.

And I thought it was a local news and information programme that people watched to find out what's going on.

Unmissable banter...

What's with getting offensive ? Somebody has expressed an opinion that Look North Leeds is going down the toilet at lunchtime, so why seek to belittle them ?

Just because you work for the programme, doesn't mean we all have to love it. And have you read any of Katherine's posts, she's the one extolling the virtues of the banter as Look North's unique selling point.

I'm merely saying that in my opinion, Look North is the best regional news programme for banter at the moment. If there is banter, then you know pretty much, like both of the presenters say, that there's a close, professional, semi-relaxed working relationship going on between them each programme. It's clear they get on and are great mates with one another, that the directors I'm sure don't mind them displaying at appropriate times during the show.

It's unique because unlike the banter on other regional programmes, the nature and themes of the banter on Look North Hull are memorable as they stick in your mind after you've seen the show. And why stop the banter? It's a popular part of the show and loads of people write/e-mail/text the show with contributions! It is one of the BEST things about the show - it reminds us that the presenters are human, like a bit of a laugh and a joke too! If viewers want to join in with the jokes and laughs, then I say LET THEM!

Yes, the banter is my favourite part of the show for many reasons AND I am also interested in the reporting side of it too. By and large, it covers all relevant stories very well. The reporters themselves are pleasant people, some of whom have (on meeting) turned out to be friendly, affable and committed to doing a good job. I don't mind the magazine-ish tone to it after the important leading headlines either. It's like what Harry Gration once said; "People don't want a news hour of at-your-throat reporting, they want light and shade". Exactly!

Yup, thanks Katherine, you prove my point exactly.

Therefore Andrew was valid in saying that the Leeds programme has gone right downhill due to the diminishing presence of banter. Would you not agree ?

but tom ingall (or whoever he is) says


i'm confused, who's opinion matters more in the look north hierarchy?

Erm...... one slight problem there...... InTune is NOT Tom Ingall!
