Peter Levy made a very rare outing away from Queen's Gardens - the first of three nights away actually.

Tonight he was on the Nunny Estate in Grimsby. Good to see Grimsby being focussed on for once (rather than the predictable Orchard Park in Hull).

Reckon the influence of the Editor may have determined the location. After all Stuart Rowson is a Grimsby lad done good.

Any news on when Look Leeds are getting their new corporate set? The current one just looks shocking, no matter how hard they try

Coming very soon.
The set designers have been in and are sorting out their prep.

Two conference rooms upstairs are being turned into a temporary set, this will be on screen for a week, maybe two.

New floor and big screen being installed, plus work on the lighting. It's big change rather than a re-work.

Superb, thanks very much for that information Smile

Tune in soon and see who won the battle of the table versus sofa set-up...! Smile

What the hell was that about?!

Halloween on Late Look North Leeds, the programme finished with the lights dimming, cobwebs superimposed and bats flying on the screen. Bit scare here, said Ian White!

It would have been a bit better if the ending was a bit tighter.

A static picture of the moon when the full Look North closing theme played out was a bit strange.

Whenever they start the closing music at the start I always think they've got the timings wrong and it's going to crash into the national weather any second.

Agreed - I thought the same. The BBC Yorkshire credit actually did crash the weather.

They were doing the same things on the evening Look North. They dimmed down the studio lights and had cobwebs superimposed on the corners - with Christa and Harry facing the screen with a bat or something similar on the screen, they then zoomed into the screen to introduce a feature.

I liked it - as cheesy as it was, at least we saw a little creativity and effort going on. It'd have been interesting to see how they would go about that in the new corporate studio which should be on it's way in the next few weeks.

Nicely researched item on Digital Switch Over from Look North - helpfully telling us that the Emley Moor transmitter which serves West and South Yorkshire switches in 2011, and Bilsdale, which serves North Yorkshire is the year after.

Except Bilsdale transmits the Geordie flavour of Look North...

Calendar was equally bad when the dates were announced, listing the Waltham transmitter (and possibly the Nottingham transmitter) which of course is Central land.

I couldn't quite work out the relevance of Maggie Philbin and Darren Gough ballroom dancing in the main concourse of Leeds City Station to digital switchover. Seemed a trifle random and bizarre. Laughing
