Are the symbols always clipped?

Is the "window" screen always flickering that much?

Do the presenters always sit so close together?

What's the difference between a normal report and a "special" one?

Is the breakfast weather recording always so blurred?

Are the trails always the wrong shape?

Can't wait to see all the rest of the English regions... this one's hilarious... though East Midlands Today is still the worst I've seen...

Errrrr... right.


Anyway, tonight's top story on Look East was as bizarre as any I've seen. A mother lets her 6 year old boy fill their car up with petrol, needless to say he manages to dowse his face in the stuff. He runs about complaining it stings. Luckily, Olympic javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread is nearby. She runs to the boy's aid by covering him with milk.

No, there are no spelling errors there. That really was the top story on tonight's Look East.

Six year old boy + petrol = Fatima Whitbread + milk

Midlands Today could only dream of such a story!!! How fab does that sound!

Must disagree saying that East Midlands Today is the worst though!! The production has higher production values than most of the other programmes and the team all work well together unlike some. Maybe not the best, but certainly not the worst.

It's going to be like Look North for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire soon! I've heard some stupid stuff but that takes the p*ss, what did Anglia News report on? Luckily NWT had more serious stories and Granada Reports apparently had the PM on.

Tonight's Look North for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire had a length report about a faulty street light in Gainsborough, in a feature they like to call "Leave it to Levy"

Tonight's Calendar had Ian Duncan Smith live in the studio

Regional news in England gets worse and worse.

Fact is, is that there are too many regional newsrooms!

and what exactly is wrong with such news? i'd sooner watch fatima whitbread saving the day and faulty street lamps than tin-pot provincial politicians.

Having done lots of stuff on Wolfbane, I notce that the Sandy Heath signal seems to be receivable from a very big area of England.

Has anyone received it from a huge distance from it? Where's the furthest place you can get Look east?
