Pigs have been seen flying above Kirkstall Road this morning!

Pardon my language, WTF is Christa Ackroyd wearing tonight on Look North Leeds? I was shocked to see her during the headline sequence on the 6 wearing what looked to me like a dead animal coated in tar (clothes to match the skin?) and a chunky white polo neck underneath - with sleeves of the dead animal pulled up to her elbow.

Someone PLEASE have a word in that woman's ear and tell her how ridiculous, grotesque and inappropriate she looks for a fifty-year-old woman (and professional journalist) presenting a television news bulletin. I thought the combos of trackie top/orange frilled top and half-length grey jacket with flourescent pink top we've seen in recent times would be hard to beat in the OTT stakes. Her and Paul Hudson's stylists need hung, drung and quartered.

At least on Calendar tonight Christine looks a normal, human and quite attractive woman in a navy blue jacket and top matched with red lipstick that complements her natural skin tone perfectly.

DICKIE BIRD ALERT!

There's a report on LNL about a young umpire which was trailed at the start of tonight's programme, and guess who was shown alongside the young umpire...

Watch on at your peril.

PS. Christer's got the pink top on tonight.

Funny to see Harry falling on the cricket pitch. Christa then complained about cleaning his trainers afterwards - wonder what she did with the dirt?

Some problems with the live OB with Tanya this evening too, caught Harry unawares.

Interesting Editorial decision needed to be made today at BBC ULL.

Apparently the GAP chain have decided that the only store in the UK that they can't make a go of, is in... ULL. Apparently most of the Hullites are too poor, or tight, to shop there and prefer the flagship Primark Store with its high quality chav gear instead.

Its a bit of a blow for ULL as it is promoting it self as a top ten city & BBC ULL have been banging on about new shopping centres and what a wonderfull place the city is.
[lets not forget that the BBC can't fill professional vacancies in the city as no one wants to work there]

Do they tell the story as is, or do they ignore it prefering to go with the fact the RAF have lost a bomb somewhere nearby?

Busy news day dont cha know, Wink

Oh dear, Calendar totally messed up the ITV News headline insert there, Christine sat through the whole thing, drinking from a glass. Then realising just before we went back to ITN.

Just saw that... I loved how she managed to get out "Tonight's top stories on Calen..." before being cut off by the ITV News sting. Classic.

Indeed, I imagine thousands of viewers were shouting at her to tell her that she was on

Hah! I remember when this happened on Tyne Tees with Kenny Toal standing in front of the plasma staring into the camera and shuffling his papers. He then started to say 'In the North East' looking very unsure and confused and then stopped and stood until the ITV News sting came on. At least he just wasn't drinking though...

Look North this morning had a brief behind the scenes shot of Barry Chambers doing the first Look North opt into Breakfast Time. The surprising thing was that it wasn't from the self-op desk. When was this introduced for the short opt outs?
