Gaynor doing the main Calendar tonight - much better than the usual Friday stand in Kate Webster (she is awful)


Indeed, great to see her escape the morning shift for once! Gaynor also did yesterday's programme and the post-News at Ten bulletin as well. If anyone didn't see her last night, she's presenting tonight's late news as well... Smile


I know I have said it before but I shall say it again - she really is wasted on the GMTV bulletins. Great to see on the main edition again. Very Happy

Poor Christine - losing her voice during the late Calendar bulletin!

That's two "do excuse my voice this evening"s so far. Laughing I bet she's glad it's all over and done with now...

We got Look North Leeds tonight - Ian White mentioned that technical problems stopped Hull version this evening.

Indeed Ian returns straight into technical problems.

Over the last few weeks we've had Phil Bodmer doing the late bulletin with Phil also co-presenting the main Look North recently.

Keeley Donovan has been doing both Saturday bulletins recently and also did a few 8pm updates in Ian's absence.

The weather on yesterday's bulletin was a bit of a shambles because Keeley wasn't controlling the graphics herself and inevitably there was a mix up with the cues.

When Keeley is doing both roles it would be nice if they could use the wide shot of the sofa and the screen to go into the forecast (and give her the clicker!) then mix to the graphics full screen for the bulk of the forecast. Just something to break it up a little.

Where has Ian been?

Presumably on holiday?

Presumably on holiday?


It just read that it had been a few weeks - more than just a holiday

Anyway Crispin is on the late - so technical problems sorted it appears

Interesting that Phil Bodmer is still on the main Look North all this week, even though Ian is back.

The BBC Radio Leeds breakfast show has thrown up some interesting presenters this week

Martin Kelner made his return to Radio Leeds all this week co-presenting with Georgey Spanswick

Except on Wednesday when Georgey was joined by Danny Savage
