Look North/Calendar

On Friday I said that Harry Gration said at the end of Friday's Look North that he and Cathy Killick (which were presenting all last week) would both not be on this week.

Well, today's edition was presented by Peter Levy and still Cathy Killick, So it looks like Clare Frisby is still not reappearing, shes been absent for a number of weeks now.

Also, Ian White was replaced by Charlotte Doney all last week, today Tom Ingall replaced him on the Afternoon and '10' bulletins.

Meanwhile on Calendar, today it was presented by Christine Talbot and Fraser Maude. Nichola Crompton did the News Round Up

The 10.56am bulletin was done by, yet another reporter following from Andrew Knight and Anne-Marie Tasker, this time Faye Barker!

Karen Petch seems to be also on Holiday at the moment for a couple of weeks

Whats going on at BBC News?????!!!!!

What's going on in the North!
It's getting quite annoying now, I don't know any of the presenters!

Maybe everyone's on holiday early this year so when Christa comes to join Look North, they'll be ready with the strongest possible line-up. Harry Gration is working for BBC Sport at Wimbledon for the next couple of weeks, so maybe after that, we'll see him presenting with Clare again up until Christa's arrival - I think they'll make more of it when the time comes!

I wonder why Clare isn't back when she must have been scheduled to - and Peter said he and Cathy Killick would be back tomorrow as well.

Maybe she's not well - maybe they're phasing her out in Leeds so we don't miss her so much!

Clare Frisby is back today alongside Peter Levy

Meanwhile on Calendar, Karen Petch is apprantly on Wellbeing duty for 6 months, which explains why...
Anne-Marie Tasker is presenting weekends
Faye Barker presented yesterday and today's morning Calendars and
Raj Shukla is doing the News Round Up/11.20pm editions today

Clare and Peter seem to have been laughing all through the programme!! She said she had been to the Caribbean maybe - Paul said Barbados, she said no - but didn't catch where she had gone!

There was a bit of a mistake at the end of the 10.25pm (or 10.35pm!!!) bulletin

When Tom Ingall moved to the side camera to show the widescreen screen at the end of the bulletin, the screen was black!

I have to say I'm not missing Christa Ackroyd at all from Calendar, if anything I've been watching it more without her. Christine is very enigmatic.

By the way, Calendar are now using different opening titles for the 11:20pm bulletin.
The 'Calendar' and the 'News' both slide on from the opposite side

The music also includes beats at the end like on Calendar itself.

I think these titles are those which were used at the end of the News at Ten integrated bulletins during the Election campaign

I like Christine Talbot, she's really friendly. God, I'm really jealous of all you lot living in Yorkshire. You all get good regional news with really good graphics and music. We just get Granada, who can't even be bothered to think of a new look for Granada Tonight. I suppose that we at least get the lovely Rachel Harrison (who I haven't seen for a bit incidentally).

I WANT YORKSHIRE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was one but then it went black and no-one did anything. Plus, the way Tom Ingall winks at the end seems slightly strange to me...!!!
