The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

Actually wasn’t the late the only one that was a full separate version initially?

Ali Fortescue from LN Leeds seems to work two regions now. Leeds Mon-Thurs and BBC London Fri-Sat as I saw her doing weekend packages for BBC London and a live tonight for them and on Look North in the week.

Ah you might be right -

The arrangement of including a short opt for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire during the 6.30pm programme, and operating a fully separate late bulletin, continued until 11 November 2002 – when a new service from Hull ensured the full 30 minutes of the main evening programme focussed on the news from those areas.

Look North Leeds' political editor Len Tingle, has died.

A tribute now on Look North to Len.

That's sad news. Can't be easy for Harry having to report the deaths of two colleagues in so short a period of time.

There seemed to be no forecaster covering the weather hub tonight so Alex Hamilton of East Midlands to day had to the weather for all 3 Look Norths tonight, as well her 3 other regions. Not seen a BBC forecaster, especially not a London based one, have to cover two weather hubs before.

A new face, to me at least, presenting yesterday. Otis Holmes.

Looks like may have done a GMB bulletin or two. But a polished performance yesterday.

It seems we’re getting a new set for Look North - into a temporary studio in the newsroom for a few weeks.

All change... Work has begun on the new @BBCLookNorth this evening. I’ll be in the broom cupboard for tonight’s late news📺 pic.twitter.com/8NBkLTlNbt

Well that's come as a surprise! With the amount of time out of the studio hopefully it'll include some new cameras too and some new tech behind the scenes. Will also be interesting to see what they fit into that small studio space.

Edit: the late bulletin is being presented from the CSO studio normally used for the 90 second update:

Hallelujah; the additions around the screen are going, really made the set cold. But I hope the new set brings an illusion of making the studio larger, which is something IMO has always been wrong with the current building.

Wonder if it will be return of a desk.

Maybe it will be Look Levy next as must be 10 years at least for current set
