Much of this response ranged from negative to downright hostile with nasty phone calls to the main desk, rude messages on the infamous hotline and a number of eggs & flour thrown at Queens court's windows - now theres one that Calendar should have picked up.

What - all because some barely-watched regional news programe decided to consider changing its name? Are we quite sure about this?

Absolutely the audience is incredibly vocal and as I have mentioned before, inexplicably it is not barely watched. It now has the third highest local news viewing figures in the country - it out performs Calendar, a 9% gap on the latest survey and its AI figures are also impressive. The fuss and commotion in (and outside) the open centre was kept very quiet as not to encourage more bother. There are enough problems with the place due to its location near to Queens Gardens where all the druggies hang out. The executive apartments above are still for sale if anyone wants to live there.

Duncan's doing tonight's late bulletin on Calendar. Is this a first?

With Gaynor presenting Calendar a few days this week she was unable to do her usual stint on Calendar South. So they had to get a freelancer in...

Different line up on tonight's Calendar. It was presented by Gaynor Barnes and Paul Burland.

This was because Christine and Duncan were 'over the road' at Studio 4 at YTV preparing for tonight's Yorkshire Awards.

These awards can be seen on ITV Yorkshire, Wednesday at 11pm, opting out of the network schedule

I'm surprised that no-one has commented on Jon Mitchell's appearance on the national weather on Friday. Was this the annual test of the backup arrangements from Leeds?

Yeah I noticed Jon on the YTV weather and national weather. What's funny also was Martyn Davies' appearance on the national weather on Thursday was from Meridian (I noticed because Meridian have a remote control-like clicker instead of the regular clicker), so at least we know YTV and Meridian can do national weather in addition to London!
