The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

I'm having flashbacks of the social media sexism/chauvinism/misogyny (whatever) that was directed at Susanna Reid by certain cretins when GMB first launched...

With all due respect to the Mayor of Wetwang, it's not a patch on The Schaf's 2010 magazine photoshoot.

Just to note that last night's Super League Show was recorded on location again rather than the temporary studio.

Leeds showing Paul in his shorts again, but he was presenting the weather infront of a dark-grey screen, and not a green or blue screen.

If you notice on the photo Keeley put online, there is a circle of green light around the camera lens, that is reflected back by glass beads in that grey screen, so it looks green on screen. I gather it's a cheaper option than a proper green screen and the less forgiving lighting that is required.

It's also makes it easy to switch between blue and green just by choosing a different set of LEDs in the camera ring.

Reminds me of Henry in the Drop the Dead Donkey cock ups tape.

At very first glance, the unfortunate word order of your phrasing did rather leap off the screen in a way that gave a worrying initial misimpression of what your post was about.

Please don't suggest that, if he reads it he just might be tempted

Dear Mr Hudson,

For the avoidance of doubt, please don't think I was implying that you should do a similar sort of photoshoot to that of your venerable fellow meteorologist. And, indeed, please please please don't do it.

Best regards.

Whenever I've watched LN Leeds, the female weather presenters most of the time seem to have their knobbly knees out, so why not Hudson?

It seems the new set made its debut on Sunday Politics Yorkshire and Lincolnshire yesterday. I can't get screenshots from where I am but it's a semi circular NBH style set with three seamlessly joined large rear projected screens much like in Studio B at NBH, so hopefully it will make it's Look North debut today. Sofa or desk I wonder?

Sadly picture quality still seems to be poor and the lighting didn't seem to be quite right for the Sunday Politics.
