Calendar with Gaynor & Jon Hill tonight, also nice to see a darker background

It's nice to see Jon hosting the first main programme of the year again, he has done this in previous years, excluding last year. Also David Hirst on sport tonight.

I notice that Look North Leeds have been covering the Hull capital of culture events, with a report from Anne Marie Tasker. I wonder if this will be a feature throughout the year, or if it was just a handy filler report over the new year weekend.

There's really no news like regional news, tonight were treated to a report consisting solely of Peter Levy dressing up as James Bond on Look North:

Apparently on that day the South/East edition was a completely separate programme with Duncan live from Hull

I know the fact the Yorkshire seaside resorts are each covered by different transmitters is a recurring topic of conversation here, so it was interesting how Calendar covered the storm surge.

They had the top 12 mins pan regional tonight, with 3 live OBs, which must have stretched the resources. Notably Jon Hill was live in Whitby on his, also covering the situation in Scarborough. I wonder if that was so he could report into Tyne Tees news as well, killing two birds with one stone so to speak.
bilky asko and Steve in Pudsey gave kudos

The BBC's coverage should be fine, as long as no iconic ex leader of an country thousands of miles away doesn't semi-expectedly kick the bucket tonight

Usually either John Shires, Chris Dawkes or David Hirst alternating.

David has returned to the role of sports correspondent and I don't think he has appeared as a presenter this year yet.

Is the BBC Leeds weather hub still in operation during Breakfast? It seems to be covered by London mostly at the moment.

Did anyone else spot Peter Levy falling of a bike on tonight's episode of Still Open All Hours? Shocked
