My mum thinks Paul Hudson joining Look North has done Peter Levy some good, in the fact that before Paul joined, he always seemed to be very formal and a bit stilted. With Paul on the scene, he's 'come out of his shell' a lot and I agree with my mum. They're great to watch and i think they've done great things for the show!

I think Paul Hudson is Look North's biggest asset - Peter Levy not much cop without him.

their jokes sometimes get a bit tired

I totally disagree with the Peter Levy on his own thing - when he hosted evening Leeds shows with Christa Ackroyd (when Harry Gration was on leave or BBC Sport duty), the chemistry between them was excellent. They've known each other since the early 1980s when they were at Radio Aire together.

To be honest, I miss those shows immensely and wish there could have been more of them. But Peter's a very able presenter (the main man at Hull), very dedicated and needed to step out of the Gration shadow. And who knows? If I get my 'Dream Ticket', maybe I could be a good on-screen partner with Peter! With all the rife rumours about Helen Fospero moving to London, there's a (slight) chance of it happening!

Would Paul Hudson be able to cope with Peter AND me? I couldn't say!

My prediction of what will happen is Harry will retire at some point, Peter will move back to Leeds to present with Christa, Helen Fospero will have moved to LDN and then onto News 24 leaving Hull with... Simon Clarke Smile

I do have the feeling though, that Lisa Gallagher has the talent to go full-time (with me as weather placename backup). Paul used to call her Look North's 'bit of glamour'!

My prediction is that when Harry retires, Look North will want to bring through younger talent. I am almost certain that Ian White will team up with Christa Ackroyd on the 18:30 shows.

If Helen Fospero goes to LDN (and presuming that Look North Hull haven't quite got themselves mentally prepared for me), I have a hunch that Hull will make some sort of offer to Clare Frisby to team up with Peter Levy. Clare has connections with Hull, as she is a graduate of Hull University so that might sway things a bit.

As a result, that'll leave the Leeds breakfast and Lunchtime shows presenter-less. I think that void will be nicely filled by Tom Ingall!

YAY!!!

Bless good old Blair - what a fantastic name as well...

I've heard him on BBC Radio Humberside the odd time and thought he was very good.

No, you can't! Wink

Anyway, he's partially redeemed because of his good banter with Paul when he did his Radio Humberside afternoon show...... and he read an e-mail of mine out to Paul, which maybe brings him up to about 57% redemption!

Nicola Hudson was hosting tonight's late Leeds yes Leeds Look North.

Caroline Davis was on the Hull one. I wonder if these transfers are permanent, its a fair swap in my opinion! Wink
