Did the special programme go out in the Belmont area this afternoon?

On Look North today, they used old early 80s theme and titles as the closer.

Yes. Both regions took the programme from Leeds.

Was the final segment of Look North Leeds pre-recorded when the sofa on a trolley from Sport Relief replaced the normal sofa?

I wouldn’t have thought so, there was enough time to rearrange the furniture whilst Tanya was doing the sport.

Khalid Aziz was my biggest memory of the older Look North, it was nice to see him mentioned.

I assume they did the obligatory "When does Harry Gration have his tea? When Khalid Aziz" gag?

Haven't heard that one for ages Very Happy

Lincolnshire should have gone to the East Midlands and Hull remain in a totally Yorkshire region. If only for Belmont.


Most people who live in mid, west, or south Lincs, can, if they vote with their aerials receive East Mids telly from Waltham.
However Humber estuary folk are stuck with Belmont. Emley reception isn't really possible.


That's the same issue with North Norfolk though, who are "Anglian" people and not 'Ull people.

Yea but, they (or some of them) have 'Anglia/BBC East' relays because of that, Kings Lynn, Wells, and Burnham

Any sign of Penny Bustin? She was always one of my favourites. Superb at Look East.


Seconded. Penny was great at Look East and all the other places she worked. Had the ability to do serious stories with credibility, but also had a sense of humour that was on-show with the lighter stories, which is pretty much vital for a BBC English regional presenter. Much missed on-screen.

I remember many years ago when Penny said on Look North welcome to Look East - which made more sense for us Lincs lot lol

Clare Frisby with the late Look North. It must be the first time she’s done any kind of evening bulletin since she stopped hosting the main programme?

I think the late edition was pan regional still. 'Ull was still just an opt out of the main programme.
