When did they show the image of the studio? Also, YTV had another presenter on this week, a woman (can't remember her name) she was blonde. Are these people temporary or permanent?


That was from the ITV50 show yesterday

Meant to mention earlier - Clare Frisby returned to the 6.30 Leeds Look North today... sort of.

She was interviewed by Harry, as someone who had taken part in the Great North Run, about the weather conditions and how well organised it was/wasn't, in relation to the death of a Leeds man who took part... pre-recorded by the looks of things, and without Christa on the set

I think she would be good alongside Peter Levy in Hull. Might make the programme more interesting

Definately. Peter on his own is too much, Claire would water things down a little.

Clare's role has already been reduced again to just Breakfast bulletins now. Christa (and Harry) has taken Lunchtime as well. Whether at her own request or not we don't know.

Fay Barker was doing the breakfast travel again on Real Radio Yorkshire this morning. This used to be Debbie Lindleys job until she left to have her baby. They had a chat about her stint on the ITV News Channel. But doing the travel on a local radio station must be a bit of a disappointment after national news.

Well it's not really just reading the travel news - she's actually co-presenting the Breakfast Show... and Real is a pretty large regional station, so I'd say it was quite a high-profile gig. Besides, I'm sure no-one forced her to do it.

Hadn't she done it before - or am I going mad?

Lorna (of Guy and on the Real Breakfast show) was of course a travel presenter before moving to co-present the Breakfast show and that awful advert of the two of them...

And of course Debbie is now back on the radio - just not Real!

Harry Gration just made an appearance on Calendar then, I wonder if Duncan will end up on Look North as well?!

Tonight's OB with Duncan in Sheffield brings back memories, Duncan's first ever Calendar was an OB from Sheffield.

For some reason, our news round-up was done by Christine tonight

Ah, remember, though, that Helen Fospero was chosen over Clare to be the female lead on the programme in 2002 (Clare had been reading the sub-opt Hull bulletins for a year and only moved to Breakfast/Lunchtime in Leeds afterwards).

Yes, a few months ago.

Apparently they've named a train "ITV Yorkshire", and of course stars from Heartbeat and Emmerdale where on hand to celebrate
