I'm surprised that the BBC has allowed this to go out. Its all rather sad and tacky.

If anybody wants to post a tour of their home on the internet, I don't think their employer can prevent that !?

If anything, it might have benefitted them in this case! TV channels love having presenters who seem ordinary and down to earth.

Plus the blue-rinsers will be excited to see he's a bachelor boy.

Yeah, I'd have thought they'd only have grounds to object if was doing it for Through The Keyhole (which of course is on ITV) - not that he'd ever be invited on that show since he's only famous in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. This was for the local newspaper.

And it gives Paul an almost endless supply of material for the banter before the forecast.

Calendar had a report the other day of a tinsel factory....in south Wales! No connection to Yorkshire whatsoever!

Are you sure it wasn't Wales in South Yorkshire?

No can't remember the town but definitely in the bigger Wales.

Did they actually mention where it was though?
The connection was that people in Yorkshire buy tinsel made in said factory, what more do you want?!

Nothing new there, Calendar can show 10 mins of copy from outside the region, which is either Ashna Hurynag VTs or from other local newsrooms.

Often inane filler content, recorded in the Meridian patch and broadcast to Calendar. One step worse than Lookaround viewers watching reports from North Yorkshire in 2009.

Surely such content with no specific local relevance can’t count towards ITV’s regional news quota.

Up to 10 minutes of shared content is allowed in all regions except Granada and London.

Using filler packages on a slow news day is understandable but If they can't fill a bulletin with region specific content the day before a General Election, that's a poor show.
