It's not like me to post in here, but Look North* must be fab, if this clip is anything to go by. It makes Reporting Scotland look like a horror movie in comparison.

Could someone tell me: who is the lady presenter?

*am I in the right thread?


Correct thread. And the "lady" presenter is Christa Ackroyd - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj5m

That's Christa Ackroyd (former ITV Calendar presenter as well), with Ian White and weather presenter Paul Hudson.

Look North Yorkshire appear to be on a CSO tonight - I wonder why?

EDIT: Super League Show is coming up straight afterwards..

Same scheduling situation today, so likely to be CSO again I guess.

Emley Moor showed BBC1 from Belmont at the start of the six. Headlines read by Peter Levy in Hull. Presumably somethings wrong at Leeds, the screen kept going blank at the end of The Weakest Link and during the junction, and we swapped between two trailers mid way through each.

Please can we not have Tanya as cover presenter she seems to think every show has to end with her fall all over the place in some kind hysterical fit usually because she thinks she has made the best joke at Paul Hudson's expense ever.

Tanya should stick to sport and leave presenting to Amy, Amanda or Charlotte.

I think Amy Garcia and Phil Bodmer should anchor the show.

Amy Garcia? I've only ever seen her on Look North Saturday, but she doesn't seem to be main programme material.

Talking about Phil Bodmer, he is doing the BBC Radio Leeds breakfast show this week (sitting in for Martin Kelner)

Amy Garcia is quite poor at presenting, she's just like Keeley Donovan when she does the news, zero authority and puts on the Newsround patronising voice.

The current team of Christa and Harry is fine, especially since Christa has toned down on the fake tan (slightly) and doesn't have another awful hairstyle every other week.

And I think Tanya's great on the main programme personally!

Before Amy joined Look North, she used to present on the low budget quiz channels, including ITV Play.

However the credits on her website include BFBS TV.

I don't mind Amy at all. She seems quite presentable and professional to me. Phil Bodmer scares me a little - he reads angrily.
