Can anybody who has seen a Norman Collier gig, tell me if he is normally that.. err... lively? I wasn't sure what to make of his stint on Calendar tonight! Shocked


I've seen him on various TV shows and he generally seems to take over.

I could imagine Laughing It was just his general demeanour seemed at odds with his skit on Jokers Wild . Indeed R Jon enjoyed it, Duncan was in fits of laughter and I think Christine was pleasantly bemused as I was!

Did he do his 'world famous' broken mike routine?

Interesting to see Kathryn Apanowicz appear as a "pundit" for YTV.

Did a certain ex-Calendar employee get all passionate about the story, "do you know"?

Was Look North Hull from a different studio tonight - didnt look to be the normal one

Caroline Davis will have a busy week - on tonights bulletin she said she would be sitting in for Peter Levy all week on both the 6.30 programme and his Radio Humberside show


Something deff going on in Hull as they arent using the normal studio this week. Surely not a brand new studio set after nearly years?!


Over six years - its never been replaced! Word is that Peter is off being refurbished too, nip and tuck here new fake tan, bit of journalistic training... no thats going too far Laughing

Oh aye-- to death! Although R Jon got in before him Wink

Interesting to hear that Calendar hasn't (yet) mentioned the situation with the studios; when the closure of Lenton Lane was announced, it was top story on Central News East.

It was the top story on their lunchtime bulletin and on Look North, it took up quite a bit of the bulletin with about three items on it. Look North will also be putting viewer's questions to Nick Higham tonight.

Do ITV still use the office in Hull? It still has "Yorkshire Television" written above the office and the old Chevron logo all over it.

I read on here it was not in use but as I passed today I noticed someone has removed the display with John Shires and Gaynor Barnes and replaced it with a new one of Duncan and Christine.

This suggests someone at least is still rsponsible for the window display at the office,
