Using a old fashioned 70s toy, Look North did a horse race in the studio tonight.
One of the 'horses' was called 'Clares Hair'

Therefore the jokes about her new hair continue daily! Very Happy

There was a mistake with the 10.25pm bulletin tonight, The titles didn't start, so we just had a static caption, before fading into the studio.

The Calendar News Round Up tonight was presented by Nichola Crompton, so Raj is obviously fixing her head back on.Very Happy

To make that background better though, I'd make the blue transparent, and reinstate the view of the Newsroom below (as they did in the previous look)

This would make this set more interesting. (Calendar only use a proper studio for Calendar itself and the weekend teatime bulletins)

The problem with that would be that they would have to redecorate their newsroom, which still has the old green/purple look about it and looks exactly like it did in the early-mid '90s when Christa and Richard Whitely used to present Calendar from the mezzanine raised slightly above the newsroom.

You should see the ones they use during GMTV. If their background used in the morning wouldn't wake you up, nothing will. Smile


And nicking a picture from your thread about DXing:)
This is the wild yellow background Calendar use during GMTV

And that's Vicky Locklin, seen on Wellbeing, Calendar and with overalls on knocking down a wall on The Real DIY Show on a screen near you!

LOL !!! You make Raj sound like the Worzel Gummidge of Calendar, just fixing on her newsreader head !!!

Anyone care to hazard a guess about the presenters on next weeks Calendar, will Mike and Christine return or are they having an extended break ?

The way things have been going lately, it could be anybody!

I know, maybe it'll be Nichola Cromton and Geoff Druet on Monday, Smile Peter McNearny and Katie Lampert on Tuesday, Carolyn Hodgson and Jason McCartney wednesday, Razz: with Steve LaFevre and Anne-Marie Tasker on Thursday Very Happy and then Weathergirl Debbie Lindley and The Dales Diary's Luke Casey doing Friday  Shocked Maybe not?

Only joking, seriously though, Next week's Calendar will probably be Gaynor Barnes with either John Shires, Frazer Maude or Geoff Druet.?Confused I think Mike and Christine will get longer than a fortnight's holiday. We will find out on Sunday though, if the last 2 weeks has been anything to go by.

Strewth !! If YTV get through any more presenters they'll have to bring Dusty Bin back. And maybe Bob Rust.

Whereas Granada Tonight has four presenters, only one of whom was available for yesterday's show! Madness.

I wanted 'Long Hot Summer' to win, says the Paul Hudson fan!

Well, let's put it this way, I didn't want Peter Levy's horse to win! I can't remember what it was called now.

Who did win? It's slipped my memory!

Oh, and do you think Look North is great when they do these 'fun' things? I do.

Oh, and Penny Bustin is great! I just want Christa back on our screens - that's all!

Look North Saturday was done for about the 4th Saturday running, by Harry Gration.
I expect when the Football season begins and he's reporting for 'Final Score' again, John Boyd and Dean Peppall will appear on Look North Saturday again.

Anne-Marie Tasker did all the weekend Calendars again.

Todays Calendar is being presented by Gaynor Barnes and Frazer Maude with Raj Shukla on the News Round Up, just like last week.

Gaynor also did the Lunchtime and afternoon Calendar News Central's

Jon Mitchell is back after a break doing the YTV Weather

Tonight's Look North With Clare Frisby and Harry Gration had a few problems.

Wrong cameras were used
During reports you could hear the presenters shuffling papers
A plain white screen came up at one point
Paul's microphone wasn't switched on

Obviously those in the gallary are holiday replacements!Very Happy Very Happy

Tonight's Calendar News Round-Up was presented by 'Jonathan Morrell'.

I'm sure I've seen him somewhere else, but I'm not sure where!
