The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

Caroline Davis, Tim Iredale, Jenny Hill and Crispin Rofle (joint with Caroline) are the only people who have ever stood in for Peter on the 6.30 bulletin since it went to a single presenter. So that would be a first for Hannah, who incidently is presenting live for Lindsey Oil Refinery now

Different topic, but what studio is used for Last Orders (the ITV Yorkshire political discussion show)?

I think it's a studio at Westminster. Several other regions use the same set just dressing it slightly differently with the logo of their particular programme.

I see the new 'right wing' mayor of Doncaster has refused to deal with Radio Sheffield until he gets an apology - The BBC's national politics show just about managed to get something out of him - He wont talk to Leeds either. I just love it when the southern wussie presenters have to resort to calling a politician ' a straight talking Yorkshireman'

Since Donny is on the regional cusp - Send for Hard hitting ULLITE journo Mr Levy to soften him up

If you want to hear the full interview which Toby Foster did with him, it's here

The new mayor certainly makes an arse of himself in my view. If the BBC do end up apologising for calling him to account for his unachievable manifesto then I want my license fee back.

Incidentally the weather forecast they shoehorned into the Politics Show was from Sarah Cruddas, presumably from Hull judging by the wired clicker and the lack of green halo on the CSO.

So that's who she is. Look North Leeds and Hull now have 4 weather presenters between them then. I take it Hull viewers never see Keeley Donovan

I'm not sure what the arrangement is for cover on the early shift, whether Keeley would cover for either Lisa or Sarah as required of if she's firmly Leeds based.

She's often does the Sunday weather for the Hull version

Live from a room that's also a stationary cupboard - honest

Radio Sheffield's Doncaster studio or Hull's weather studio?

Hull's weather/ down the line - studio - spare room - stationary cupboard.
I seem to remember when David Hockney was interviewed in there - not impressed

Surprised it's not that meeting room they shoved the set from the old building into when they first moved in.

the down the line studio isn't the same room as the one used for the old set, and to be completely accurate, the old set wasn't moved to the new building. A duplicate was made instead.
