Peter was right, that certainly was very embarrassing, a tour around Linda Barkers house and Peter lying on her bed, just what was the point ? Do I hear the sound of barrels scraping ?

This all seems a bit odd, and hurried, surely Helen should have been given the opportunity of a proper send off on screen, she was there only on Monday.

A bit of a shambolic ending to Look North Leeds again, I think Paul's weather software is running on an old Acorn computer this week as they fail to work every night. So they dropped the formal forecast and had a weather chat with Harry and Christa instead, followed by extended closing music.

Over on Calendar, they were experimenting with more camera angles again, including Christine and Duncan standing up at the front plasma to do the lead story. The skyline is maybe getting more airtime than the boring squares, although it's still not enough.

It looked like somebody had moved to seat on Calendar News meaning Vicky Locklin looked like a little child who isn't quite tall enough.

It may possibly be Gaynor's first time in the new set tommorow, at least she won't need a box to stand on this time

No - it was the same with Christa Ackroyd when she left Calendar. She didn't get an on-air goodbye either

Well that would have been because she ditched them, they would hardly give her a goodbye.

Because she defected to the other side. Doesn't explain why Helen never got the chance for an on-screen godbye ?
