Look Hull has spent a fortune on doing up the studio for Christmas.

That's what you get when Spotlight uses up the entire BBC regional news Christmas decs budget on their Alpine style chalet.

They just didn’t use the Christmas version of the theme - but a brief blast of the Christmas headline vamp though.

If they previously had a Christmas version of the theme, wouldn't it now be out of date, explaining why it wasn't reused? The music was replaced when all the regions got new titles.

Look North (Leeds) titles are actually quite nice - proper shots of 'communities' all dressed up for Christmas (as the titles are meant to be). The Newcastle ones are weird with people writing Christmas cards and putting up decorations so don't really fit the theme!

Yes, the Newcastle ones look like something from a cheesy 80s advert for gravy or something.
