The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

Could Calendar's singers have been in the set that was built while they were in the newsroom that will be used for the East service when that launches?

Was Dickie giving out copies of his "neeyew buuuukk"?

Any word on when exactly the new Calendar set-up starts (forgive me if this has already been mentioned ) ?

i see (well ... hear) alex hall is making a rare appearance back on telly as narrator on:

DOCUMENTARY: The Way We Worshipped
On: ITV1 Central
Date: Monday 25th December 2006 (51 minutes left)
Time: 23:45 to 00:50 (1 hour and 5 minutes long)

Terry Waite, Tom O'Connor, Kazia Pelka and Lynda Bellingham are among those who fondly reminisce about Christmases past, through a rare collection of archive films. The programme recalls the communities and customs that once characterised Christmas in this country.

this evening. she hasn't managed to crowbar a mention of her glittering career on emmerdale, her love of gays or her housefire into the script yet though as she did on radio. never mind.

She's apparantly been doing this for months (It's usually on on a Sunday morning and seems to follow the exact format of ITV Yorkshire regional programme "The Way We Were" except obviously religion rather than local footage) although it's the first time I've seen it

Surprised they haven't tried to save a few bob and just dust off "How We Used To Live" from the archives

Harry Gration with the Boxing Day Look North. He's obviously not above his station like many presenters are when they get to his level

Ian White had the late bulletin

Much more of a fuller service is provided thesedays on Boxing Day, a few years ago it was one presenter self-opting with an overall air of skeleton staffing

Was Andrew's theory that the singing on Calendar was "obviously recorded", on the basis that Calendar only has one studio/set? (i.e. Andrew clearly forgetting about the ten-week decamp, and that threfore there's now two studios/sets)

Or was there something else about how it came across on screen that seemed "recorded" (e.g. the sequence being initially "frozen" for a fraction of a second, thus giving the game away that it was pre-recorded)?????????????

If not, then Steve in Pudsey is absolutely right, that there's absolutely no reason for Andrew (or anyone) to think that it couldn't possibly have been live...

I was thinking that I doubt they would have gone to the trouble of moving the Christmas tree in there just for this performance

Er, what's that at the back?
Looks like a tree to me.
More likley to remove benches than tree.

Aah, I see. Fair point.

That's what Andrew was saying, he didn't think it would be the 'new' studio because they'd not go "to the trouble of moving the Christmas tree in there just for this performance".

There's just been an advert on for the new Calendar

It launches Monday 8th January

Duncan Wood, Christine Talbot, John Shires and Gaynor Barnes will present the two versions, what combinations and if they will mix and match was not revealed
