The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

In theory LNH editorially covers East Yorks, Lincs and ostensibly west Norfolk. You win a nice cardigan and scarf (hand-knitted by one of Levy's blue-rinsers), if you can tell us the last time a story from Hunstanton or King's Lynn was featured !!

Belmont actually covers north Nottinghamshire and northern Cambridgeshire... whilst Levy's luvvies choose to ignore those viewers, Calendar South does often feature stories from those areas.
Belmont Tranmission Area

Bilsdale (BBC NE) does indeed reach Filey; I would imagine since Filey is on a ridge, the signal crosses south-east easily over the Vale of Pickering:
Bilsdale

His Levyness had a crab up his rectum today, snapping at an official that he was "dismissing my [Levy's] criticisms", making snide remarks about the civil service via Small and just being a general grouch.

Maybe it was because he was given some hard news to deal with tonight. I mean it's "just not acceptable" is it?

Look North Hull has a special programme on the floods in Hull (seemingly just in Hull from the trailer and the title, The forgotten city) on Wednesday. Better late than never?

The presenter looks to be that well-known journalist Paul Hudson, which would explain his recent absence. But still, he probably knows more about the subject than that other well-known journalist, Peter Levy. He's doing a phone-in on Radios Humberside and Lincolnshire afterwards. Not sure what the people of Lincolnshire will make of a phone-in about Hull. Probably about the same as they do of a TV "news" programme about Hull, ho ho.

On another subject, is it just me or haven't there been as many/any faked live interviews since the recent scandals? Levy's been careful to say that he spoke to the councillor/official earlier.

Over on another website (which most of us know), I notice that someone has uploaded scans taken from a Radio Aire annual published in 1983 to the best of my knowledge, including a feature on the news team at the time.

Who not only included a young Chris-ter (26), but also Mark Mardell. Photos (in black or white, so hard to hell whether the orange really is natural) and profiles of both are included, and from the looks of it, the rumours on Chris-ter's "enhancements" seem a bit unfounded to me, she seemed quite "ample" to me at the time.

I seem to remember Christa was programme controller at Radio Aire. She was a formidable boss at the time who frightened the hell out of those who didn't know her. She used to walk around the building barefoot as she - and one or two others - suffered from static discharge which the place seemed to suffer from.

On the point of Filey and its transmitter. Filey and scarborough get a signal form the olivers mount relay in Scarborough & recieve BBC Yorkshire.

As for Hudsons fogotton city. Look Ego could never be accused of forgetting ULL, there is never anything but stories from the now shiningly clean city (Its needed a damn good wash for years). What about the forgotton East Yorks, South Lincs & North Norfolk?. What have you got to say to those viewers, Its just not good enough is it?

Filey gets Pontop Pike so therefore recieve NE&C, not Yorkshire and North Midlands. On Sky, though, Filey gets Yorkshire and North Midlands.

No Filey is way out of Pontop's coverage area.

ISTR most of the town either uses Oliver's Mount or Belmont.

I think this might explain it better.

I know that when Look Levy started the Scarborough area was covered by the Hull programme. It lasted for about 2 weeks. There were serious protests and the relay was switched to Leeds. Having thought about it properly I forgot about the Hunmanby transmitter which serves filey.

Some may argue she still frightens the hell out of those who don't know her personally...

O/T but static discharge is a real pain, I've experience that in the workplace before.

New Levyism alert

It seems we have a new Levy buzzphrase on our hands, "part-timer" (or "part-time work"). It is usually directed at Paul, usually accompanied by some smirking remark about the civil service.

I was hoping for Lisa, I thought I might write an email to her:
"Dear Lisa, I saw Peeta doing a vox pop with somebody on Guildhall Road that looked like somebody who works as a teagirl at BBC Humberside" <cue arch/nonplussed glance at Lisa from Levy>

Least we had a nice vocal performance at the end for Levy's blue-rinser fans, next week it will be Vince Eager's turn no doubt.

Headline news from Lincolnshire tonight, two studio interviews from BBC Lincolnshire too, whatever next. Of course we'll all eschew watching Coro to view Small's ironically-titled piece: Hull The Forgotten City .

Forgotten by whom exactly? Certainly not those at Queenyfit Court. Maybe it's a reference to Calendar who stupidly realised that other places other than Hull, got flooded in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

I think Rachel Philips must read this thread

On Calendar's late news on Friday she came out of a report with "Strong words, indeed " stressing the indeed like some sort of in-joke

On Look North and Paul's other half now seems to be the regular presenter on Look North Saturday, at least at the moment

The Levyisms are spreading, mark my words. A sort of sub-Orwellian regional newsreader Newspeak.

"Thank you very much indeed" has spread to BBC EMT as well as Central News East and if I hear it on Calendar as well, the game is up Or it could be all those joke emails about Peter Levy I have put into mass circulation. Oops

I bet on Calendar they pronounced the village of "Covenham" ( in Lincs) correctly, unlike their BBC colleagues in the Forgotten/Foresaken City.
