LOL, indeed. Yesterday's Hull Look North was quite entertaining, watching Peter Levy lose his rag with that woman from KC.

He once came to a garden fete in our village, he was like that to some of the other guests. IMO he should have a co anchor, the Hull Look North has gone past its sell by date (if it ever had one) and I now tune into the Leeds version of Look North instead.

Does anybody know who presented Calendar East today. It looks to be a new women who hasn't presented before

Actually there were two new people, I think. One was Asian, who I think was Calender East and today was another lady, but I don't know their names unfortunately. What has happened to Gemma Calleja? She is my favourite Current Bun!

Found out tonight, the Calendar East presenter is Masuma Nadeem.

Gemma Calleja now seems to only present the GMTV bulletins at the start of week

And finally, those BBC Local Radio stations seem to leak across the boundaries a lot, I picked up BBC Radio Humberside in Bradford today!

Is the BBC Asian Network national or just for Leeds and the surrounding area?

Thankyou. Can anybody tell me what they did to the Calendar studio several weeks ago when they used the newsroom to broadcast from and used CSO studios, as I was away when they returned to the normal studio? Thanks.

I have a great way to fill the half hour of 'Look Hull'. Nothing. Ziltch. Anything would be more watchable than this pile of poo!

Did anyone notice at the start of tonight's (Friday) Calendar, that until the end of the first interview, it was broadcast in 'filmatic'. Could this be a poblem with the new cameras, or is it a trial for HD Television?

From the sound of today's "Levy Letter" Look North Hull is now way past Alan Partridge level.

They are turning this whole new name thing into a farcical bit of free publicity. Apparantly Peter has got 30 ballot boxes to give away, so if you own a shop or pub, get in touch, so you can vote in your local! How ridiculous!

The recent Levy Poll says that 75% of readers (which surely means only 4 people took part!) dislike cricket. That means the guest list for Hull Look North is down 50%!.

Talking about guests "Look North is where you'll find all the big names next week. Already booked to chat with yours truly are Patrick Mower (Rodney in Emmerdale) singer Jane McDonald and actress Samantha Giles from Where the Heart is...miss me at your peril. That's all for now. See you at 6.3O"

Said ballot box has picture of Levy sans teeth to post suggestions into.

Surely a future collectors item?
