Unusual line up on Calendar tonight, Christine Talbot and Duncan Wood are hosting.

They are the main presenters. They are both back together tommorow.
Gaynor is off this week, so on Friday we'll probably see John presenting alongside Sally or hopefully Lisa Adlam.
Sally seems to be Gaynors no. 2.

Sally hosting alongside Duncan tonight, I knew both Duncan & Christine hosting together more than once in a week would be too good to be true.

Also India willoughby filing a report at the end of tonight's programme.

Not strictly TV related but it seems that Radio Humberside have been given their own BBC Bus again, this time with branding for Hull 2017. Do any other BBC Local Radio stations still have theirs?

I think there are a couple which can be booked by any station for events etc. Often to be seen on Wembley Way before cup finals.

Radio Humberside has also had a studio refit using the ViLoR kit, I suspect to simplify adding extra studios to accommodate visiting (network) shows, but that is conjecture.

There is a danger that your contribution to this thread is becoming just a list of who is presenting each night, which isn't really the point of the forum and is somewhat discouraged by those that run the site.
Nicky and Steve in Pudsey gave kudos

I was merely pointing out, that Christine & Duncan seem to rarely host together nowadays

There was an item on Look North tonight talking about 1 year on since the floods. Ian White visited the ITV archive where they explained how they've put flood prevention schemes in place to protect the old tapes and films dating back to 1955

Dusty was still a bit of a local celebrity, getting wheeled out to do the Christmas lights switch on in my native Pudsey long after 3-2-1 had been axed.

Never really got what they were thinking using a character from a show most adults didn't understand let alone kids other than that it was made down the road in Rodley IIRC, and probably cheap to book. (They always do the lights on CiN night so a certain bear with an association with the town is always busy elsewhere otherwise I'm sure he would do the switch on)

It's good to be back home tonight. Haven't seen the local news with Uncle Peter for years. Has the news reporting improved in Hull with it being City of Culture?

'Percy the cat has died in Hull'... Ah maybe not.
