Lol, that late bulletin was a classic. They had nothing, no reports, not even the opening titles, one camera shot all way through

Ian read from paper and then ran out of stories so had to resort to promoting the website, how to get in touch, reading the address line by line, ad-libbing what time all tomorrow's bulletins were on at and guessing what would be on the main programme etc!

I bet that was one of Ian's longest 7 minutes in his life!

He He Poor bloke...he didn't half look worried... You have to wonder at the marvels of technology.

No packages and no auto cue makes for jack a bording lad.. well you get the drift.

Do they stream the late bulletin on the website these days? I caught the last minute or so having pressed the rewind button on Sky+ seeing this post but I wouldn't mind seeing the whole thing

Why did they not switch to Hull/Nottingham/Manchester?!

Would they have had a feed from other regions available at such short notice? Hull excepted, perhaps.

They are supposed to switch to Hull who would read a dual news bulletin or if things are that bad just take the Hull programme direct. Who didn't follow proceedure - someone will be in bother today
No doubt its all the fault of the FOG

Lot's of festive fun and games on tonight's Calendar

And a musical finish, which was obviously recorded earlier

Obviously a high quality regional NEWS programme.

whilst the one dressed as a fairy looks like a bloke in drag. lmao

At least Calendar made an effort. Look Hull can't even be bothered with a tree - what a bunch of scrooges It shows what happens when your region is leaderless

Look North had a special guest on Friday, none other than Father Christmas

ITV Tyne Tees did things similar to Calendar. With the musical people at the end - but ours was live. As Tyne Tees have two studios. Also this weekened we got xmas graphics. Whilst we've had our two trees up for a while!

Calenders christmas effects look wonderful Good effort!
