Mr McCartney was an RAF officer for nine years before joining Yorkshire Television in 1998.


Really, I thought he was a reporter for Radio Cleveland before he joined YTV?

And of course he'll no longer be allowed to appear on Calendar from the moment an election is called due to the Representation Of The People Act (or whatever they call it these days).


Slightly off topic, but how does that affect any known political figure that broadcasts TV or radio?

If said political figure is standing in the election, does that they can't broadcast?

(I'm hoping this gives us a break from that a**e Galloway on Talksport!)

What about Portillo on 'This Week'? He's no longer an MP, but known to be a Tory supporter!


I think you're misunderstanding the point, he wouldn't be able to continue as an impartial news reporter or presenter once an election campaign has started. In the BBC, I know that you would go on 'gardening leave' as soon as your campaign starts, and would be expected to resign your post immediately if you are elected. It in no way affects having politicians as guests on programmes.

For some bizzare reason the Illuminated BBC sign has been removed from Queenies Gardens in downtown ULL to be replaced with a cheap PVC sticker. Shocked

Probably more fitting with the image of the Hull operation.

This could well be the case as the (total waste of money) open centre is full of old dirty fishing gear Confused

Looks loke the stole some of the red chairs from East Midlands Today copycats lol. EMT have those sofas now but at least they have a coffee table in the middle with tv screen behind them. i've never liked the Look North looks since they moved tot heir new studios the old one with the brown sofa was much more inviting.

Speaking of Hull, Calendar South has changed its backdrop to The Deep. John Shires announced that the backdrop will be changed periodically, I should imagine it will Lincoln next.

Has Calendar North changed its backdrop as well, or is it still Leeds?

Forgive me, but what or where is "The Deep"? Is it a different view of Sheffield, or is it elsewhere in the region (e.g. King's Lynn, or whatever)?

The Deep - it's in 'ull. Nice that for once the area is represented by something other than cliched shots of the Humber Bridge.

Oh yes... yes... yes... oh it's magnificent...

I tend not to change my signature that often, but reading that this morning made me so giddy I had to do something. Glad you like.
