No offence to Ian, but it's nice to see someone else once in a while

Paul Hudson made a rare appearance on Breakfast Look North today


But Phil Bodmer? I would much prefer to see Thomas with his winks!

The 'B' or possibly 'C' team in charge on Look North tonight - Phil Bodmer and Tanya Arnold with the last full length Look North before Christmas


I was surprised it wasn't Harry and Christa for the last Look North of 2009. Phil Bodmer seems to be presenting the main edition more than Ian now sadly.


If the budget is there to get somebody else to do the programme rather than use Ian who is already there for the afternoon update and the two evening bulletins it makes sense to bring Phil or whoever in.

However I suspect Ian has a hand in producing the 18:30 programme behind the scenes when he isn't in front of the camera, so I guess it also depends on whether those duties can be covered to free him up to present.

Christa Ackroyd with the Christmas Eve Look North, and she's apparantly back at 7.20pm so that's probably why she had yesterday off instead

The weather came from Sarah Keith-Lucas, whoever that is.

I think she's London based, so presumably the national team are providing weather like they do/did for Breakfast bulletins.

Indeed she's on the news channel this afternoon

Graham Liver with the Boxing Day Look North bulletins, same as any other normal Saturday.

Keeley Donovan presenting the Look North bulletin - is this her first time presenting news on Look North rather than weather? I think she has a journalism background.

Last minute stand in as she did a full weather forecast, out of vision from the sofa, perhaps?

She did the pre recorded weather on LN Hull so sounds like it. Actually rate her very much - very clear presentation of the weather.

For info - it was Siobhan Robbins presenting this lunchtime in Levyland

I suppose if she's still there at teatime we will see if it was planned or not.

Pitty it wasn't Paul Hudson on duty, that would have been interesting

She's done a few of the 8pm updates before Christmas - on nights that Ian was there for the late news so maybe they're deliberately trying to get her to present more. Now Graham Liver's gone there's obviously a vacancy for a Saturday presenter and maybe she fancied it (plus there's an obvious cost saving if she can do both!).

Did Keeley do teatime?

As opposed Debbie doing Dallas

No, Amanda Harper. Keeley's weather was pre-recorded.
