Maybe they'll poach Ian White to be Christine's co-presenter! Mike 'gutted' Morris annoys me; whatever happened to people like Jon Shires and Alan Hardwick?!

Many people, like me, remember Mike Morris from TVam!

I liked the way she was introduced, by creeping around in the background, whilst Harry did a tour of Scarborough.

In the interview they hardly told viewers who she was and what she was going to be doing. I think they'll be some who'll be saying, 'Who was that, i've seen her somewhere else but I'm not sure...'. Afterall the majority of Look North viewers won't watch Calendar itself as well!

Also, They did a special 'Clare in the studio and Harry in Scarborough' annoucement at 6.30. They haven't bothered previously, last time Harry was on a OB it was still 'Clare Frisby and Harry Gration'

I'm sure they'll be putting some new Look North trailers out in the coming few weeks! Maybe they'll use their new tag line 'The news that matters where you live'. They could even use that new-ish song by R n' B artist Eve, called 'Who's that girl'. Wink

And this thread is now had 100 replies!!!!!

Quite fitting for the day when Look North introduces their new presenter and yet another new presenter appears on Calendar!

Yep, Christa's introduction was very well excecuted. Hope Christa doesn't get too 'close' to Hud the Stud, I'll be watching!

She's a bit old for him though, really! Isn't she?!

Don't worry Katherine, she'll never get close to... ahem .... Hud the Stud.... especially if she goes around carrying that dirty old raincoat with her !

Oh and in case anyone is wondering 'Hud the Stud' is the Maplins Yellowcoat from Hi-de-Hi (far right).

Good capture!
'Join Christa, Harry and Paul, every evening on Look North at 6.25, From September 3 on BBC One TV!'

Wonder if Christa will take Clare's seat in the studio - the closest one to Hudson - or will Harry move across and have Christa sit on 'his side'? I remember when Harry first came back and they 'changed sides' - will they do it again in September?! I guess if Christa takes Clare's seat then she'll be on the same side that she was on in Calendar!

Christa certainly won't be having the seat nearest to Hud the Stud if I have anything to do with it! Harry will be acting on my instructions to act as a barrier between them!

BBC North have just opted out at 9.58pm to show an advert for 'The Super League Show'

This is the first time I've seen them sticking their own ads in during prime time.

The 'black bars' came on early and went off late as usual.

I also notice they've managed to use the correct font and capitalisation on this new advert, ie.

THE SUPER LEAGUE SHOW
Sunday 11.15am

The North clock ticked past 10 tonight as well!
