Look North/Calendar

And also Frazer Maude was working even more than usual today,

He presented:

Calendar Lunchtime News
Calendar News - 3.05pm
Calendar (itself rather than the News Round Up)
and
Calendar Late News.

He definally now is the 'Peter Levy' (in relation to over-working) of t'other side!

With Look North tonight being on so late - 7.20pm, Theres a chance that Peter Levy might not be presenting it today?

After all he has to be up early in the morning, ready to shout at the North from 6.25am!

Tonight's Calendar presenter Anne-Marie Tasker has just announced that Calendar next week, will be presented by

Gaynor Barnes and John Shires

Thats a new one, Gaynor Barnes hasn't presented Calendar since prior to the introduction of 'Tonight' during 1995!!!

And by the way, Jo Blythe has been presenting the weekend's weather around my region

The madness continues........

It's all very unsettling for the viewer, they just don't get the opportunity to build a rapport with anyone.  We'll have Carolyn Hodgson on there next !

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that Gaynor has presented Calendar since the introduction of Tonight.

Well he was there - maybe it was recorded earlier?! Maybe not...

I'm also certain of seeing Gaynor presenting Calendar since Tonight was introduced.

Maybe not during the current set, but at least during the last one.

By the time he gets back to Yeadon, it'll be bed time, I expect he'll have to get up at 4am or something?
But theres always the posibility he might not be on Breakfast tommorow?, because Harry Gration may be off again?



Well that set did last about 4 years!
I think she may have presented it an odd once, but thats about it.
I wonder if Gaynor or John will do the lunchtime and 3.05pm Newses, or maybe Frazer Maude may be doing overtime again!

As expected, Calendar tonight was presented by John Shires and Gaynor Barnes.

Its funny that last year Gaynor was Christine Talbot's replacement on 'Tonight', and now the same situation is occuring on Calendar!

Gaynor, who put her serious 'Missing' face on, said that Mike and Christine were both on their Summer Holidays.

Therefore, the following people have presented 'Calendar' the main programme, since May 28th...

Mike Morris, Christa Ackroyd, Christine Talbot, John Shires, Frazer Maude, Nichola Crompton, Vicky Locklin and Gaynor Barnes....!

Meanwhile...
Tonight's Look North is presented by Harry Gration and Clare Frisby

Clare says that it has been 7 weeks since Clare and Harry presented together at the same time.

A report has just ended ..BBC East Midlands..., Obviously sharing Lincolnshire again!

(Edited by Andrew at 6:55 pm on July 23, 2001)

Hooray! Clare is back - seven weeks, blimey, that's a long time! I think we can take it they hadn't fallen out then!

Though remember that Clare hasn't been absent for 7 weeks, as she presented with Peter Levy for a couple of weeks, whilst Harry was at Wimbledon!

Jo Blythe has been doing the YTV weather all day today and for some reason, Debbie Lindley has just appeared to do the 11.27pm forecast

And anyway, I would expect the late YTV weather is probably recorded? because after all there is another one at 10.40am tommorow, done by the same person usually.

(Edited by Andrew at 11:36 pm on July 23, 2001)

Debbie Lindley did the weather after Calendar tonight !

did she..oops! Jo Blythe was definally on at 12.57pm today! I thought she was holiday cover for Debbie, Maybe Debbie is training her,

Why does YTV suddenly need 3 forecasters anyway? maybe Jon Mitchell is doing more ITV National Weathers?

It seems that Frazer Maude is doing overtime Tuesdays to Fridays and then having the remainder off.
