Working through Leeds today in the pouring rain, and I saw someone with a old blue umbrella with Yorkshire Television and the chevron on it, it really put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Its a sad old time at Queenies Court these days. With no BBC buses to prove they are 'local, the hacks at Look ULL have resorted to scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to inventing local interest stories.
Fridays Look Levy featured a wonderful peice of pure fiction concerning queues for tickets for a Kaiser Chiefs concert. The alleged queues and masses of fans totalled in fact 12 - who were waiting near the model shop in the Arcade near Whitefrigate. The camera team where having to whip up enthusiasm in the 'crowd' by encouraging them to cheer and annoy other shoppers & shop keepers - the whole episode was directed and co-ordinated in a most desparate way. Sadly what duly appeared on screen was utter fiction.
Even the entertainment of the reporters being chavved outside the front door has been missing of late (such practices are done from the 3rd floor balcony these days) whilst other O.B.s are carefully arranged.
What could have been an excellent hard hitting interview concerning the huge increase in the Police precept in Lincolnshire was reduced to a sycophantic mess & showed the programmes true dynamic ambitions. A dreadful interview with the new cheif constable of Lincolnshire was only made entertaining because it was set in the cosy cafe tea room & the unlikely pair sat at a table surrounded by cake eating blue rinses.
Poor old Elaine Dunkley has returned from her voyage on the Ull & Umber round the world boat thing to wonder if she still has a job. At the end of the interview she managed to get in a desparate 'its good to be back' before his Leviness cut her off.
Little had to mention Wetwang several times after allegedly letting the village down over the scarecrow judging competition. A villager has told me that you had be quick to spot him last year as he doesn't stop long anyway. Twice nightly used to stop all afternoon and enoy the festivities.
Luvvies just don't have the staying power these days

Anyone seen the ad for Cooperative Bank which has various clips being shown on a TV? One of them looks suspiciously like the shot Look North Leeds got during the floods last year of a temporary traffic light being swept away.
Wonder how the co-op got their hands on that?

Some celeb personality was chasing Paul around the studio on the end of friday's Look North (Leeds) - rather amusing to watch plus Ian's reaction!

Ah, that was Duncan Norvelle, a comedian popular in the 1980s for being camp.
Who also stated that he has a missus, so it's really just an act.
But he had a tan that Christa would have been right jealous of.
Speaking of Mrs A, she was in a ghastly white jacket with pastel colour floral patterns (full length, thankfully), a necklace seemingly made out of one of those kits you find in pound shops and a big bright pink belt on Monday. No sign of her on Tuesday's shortened programme.
