The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

There was a strange headline sequence at 5pm tonight on BBC Radio Leeds.

For some reason it only featured travel news and then afterwards Darragh introduced more music

Another ill informed comment from a non-BBC local radio listener.

BBC Local radio hardly ever plays music from the above mentioned groups.

Why not try listening before making a comment? BBC local radio is no longer aimed at grandads and grandma, but a 45+ audience.

Gah, that pink Calendar set is garish. Bit like the programme itself really - awful main hosts (I thought Duncan's mickey-taking of John Shires's new glasses was a bit harsh the other night), what I feel is more fluffy stuff than proper news, and too many competitions.

Well, this is Yorkshire...

I know it's Peter Levy but why did he interview the supermodel last night? She wasn't even in the area (in a remote studio as ever) so I really couldn't see how it had any interest to people in the area. Least most of his guests are in the area, just about to go into the area or just about to leave.

Don't show your ignorance. It was a one-off for Valentines wasn't it? And it was meant to be garish! I think the hosts are the most professional I've seen. They deal equally well with the fluffy stuff and the harder news.

What's with all this talk of different "sofas"?

What sofas?

Is it not obvious to anyone with eyesight, that all three colours of seating are a whole load of single chairs pushed together, rather than the single-unit that would be a sofa?

The PS can't be from the same studio as LN. If you look closely, the tiles are bigger on the PS. Either that or the one studio in Leeds is extremely versatile.

Nope - it's just we're looking at the studio from a different perspective, the panels are lit up fully and they're purple + purple lights + dark edges.

Following last week's conversation about why Christa couldn't have hosted Look North with another female, Calendar went with a two women combination tonight.

Christine and Gaynor presented together, with the news round-up being presented by Michelle. Jon Mitchell did put in an appearance though

I'm aware of that but it was easier to use the word 'sofa' as opposed to 'chair' as they are obviously meant to represent a sofa.

From your images it is fairly easy to see that the Super League Show has completely different chairs (or sofas) to the ones used for the Politics Show and Look North.

oh dear everyones favourite late night radio presenter has sold her soul to the pensioner-chasing daytime ad men. i think alex has changed, i mean, at one time these adverts were the domain of washed up old has beens .
