Isn't that Jenny Hill? As opposed to Jenny Hull, formerly of How Do They Do That and HTV News.

She looks a bit manly to me - perhaps to complement Tanya Arnold...

Clean up your act
Jeremy Paxman's recent eco-blast against the BBC has won backing from a colleague in the corporation's in-house rag, Ariel. "I'm a cleaner at the BBC in Hull and although most of the people here do recycle paper, there are a few who don't, which means I have to remove it from the recycle bin," the Ariel correspondent writes. He signs off "domestic engineer, BBC Hull" - that's presumably neo-Birtspeak for cleaner.

The quote doesn't make sense, but I always thought BBC Hull were quite good at recycling. Ho ho.

He also states in the letter that "the bin isn't big enough for a building of this size" which sums up the problem perfectly. They don't need a £24 million edifice to pump out the rubbish they do. Unless they need it to house the blue rinses favourites' ego Confused . Maybe thats why the revolving door has been broken for so long.
Close the place down and spend the money on proper programming Twisted Evil

£24million? Shocked I didn't realise just how expensive the building was! Confused Is it an "exclusively BBC" building, or is it a multi-purpose building that the BBC only use a bit of (like the Mailbox in Brum, the Forum in Norwich, etc).

If "multi-purpose", did the BBC themselves actually pay for its erection (no innuendo intended)? Or was it "being built anyway", e.g. by a developer etc (again, like the Mailbox)?

If the former, then what a bloody waste of Licence Fee money! Evil or Very Mad

One thing that would possibly improve a service that's *supposed to* also be Linconshire and North Norfolk would maybe be to have it based more centrally (e.g. Lincoln). But, they've backed themselves into a corner now. - i.e. they couldn't very well move out of a building that's only a few short years old, and cost a small fortune to build. The whole BBC Hull situation is rather a sorry mess.

An item on e-bay that might interest you YTV people out there:

item number 290083655523 is an cloth bound book form YTV dated 1978 in colour dealing with th first ten years - the bidding is up to £41, and I've given up as it is far too expensive with the postage ( it's also amazing that mine was the only bid yesterday and within a few minutes the price rocketed upwards) but you might want to splash out!

Radio 1 are coming live from Bradford's National Media Museum on Saturday for "Radio 1's Big Movie weekend".
Whilst Saturday's programming is probably going to be an OB from the cinema, there's a possibility that maybe the weekend DJs (Reggie Yates, Vernon Kay and Sara Cox) will end up doing their Sunday shows from Radio Leeds's studio?

Was that a TVF celebrity standing next to Richard Hammond on Look North tonight?
