I hear a studio complex down Kirkstall Road might need some customers.....


I thought the main YTV building was being used just for Emmerdale and Calendar now, with the other buildings being sold off. Nice idea though. Wink

I think he may be referring to the old Calendar studio...
BTW there's not just Calendar and Emmerdale in the main complex - there's non-production staff too of course and I think a Sales team.
Also, has anyone seen pictures of the new newsroom yet and can they use it on Calendar?

Look North screwed up those '10' headlines just then.

In case you didn't see it, they opted too early, as soon as George Alagiah appeared, meaning they had to hold on a static image of the football for 15-20 seconds until it was time to opt back in for the opening titles.

From Wikipedia. Is this true????

After thirty years of collecting Levy has a respected collection of vintage underwear, mostly pre-1950. Various film and stage directors have made use of items - for the 2007 film Atonement, director Joe Wright called upon Levy's collection. Recently items from Levy's collections have been used in the ITV production Downton Abbey - Julian Fellowes first met Levy at a BBC dinner and the two have remained friends.

I'm sure that Michael Billington just referred to Cerebral Palsy as Terrible Palsy on the late Calendar News.

He also said straight after the draw the game was made for the semi finals. He's not a regulart newscaster is he? Bet he was a bit nervous

No source I see, so I just added a Citation needed tag. Hopefully we'll see either a source added or that paragraph gone shortly.

Problem tonight on BBC1 Freeview: we are currently receiving Look North from Newcastle.

EDIT This is bizarre. I'm watching via my Media Center PC. I have 2 BBC1s - one Newcastle, the other Leeds. I cannot receive Levy Live in North Lincolnshire, as my aerial points towards Emley Moor, yet I can receive Newcastle! Very, very odd.

Sorry, it's not too clear - was there a problem from Emley or was it your receiving set up?

My Mediacenter PC, which is connected via aerial, is picking up quite nicely the digital signals of both Emley and another transmitter that is providing North East news. However, I cannot pick up Belmont, which is closer!
