HI
Replacing 'North of Westminster' there is now on BBC TWO North a special edition of 'Look North' presented by Peter Lugg.
All usual titles and headline beds were used, the 'window' is a special picture.
The ident used was 'Excalibur' yet again (twice in 3 days!) and it was voiced by the man who presented this morning's 'Super League Show' not sure of his name.
There are guests in the studio

Yep - thought the programme was very good and well put together - they have a good team in Leeds. Bulletin this evening at 6.50 as usual but with Ian White (where's Peter Levy!!).
A usual 5 minute long Calendar News with 'Clare White' holding the fort.
Even though there is a 15 minute 'Cartoon' scheduled at 2.15pm.
This is the problem of major news taking place at weekends

Yeah, I suppose so, but ITV should surely have had more scope to do regional programming. Will they do a special later? The BBC again showing their superiority in Leeds over Yorkshire - they had all their top people in.
Well, on North West Tonight at the weekend, Julia Sharp presents both Sat and Sun. Nigel Jay normally presents Breakfast. Nigel last presented North West Tonight at the weekend in about November 2000. Julia Sharp has been on every weekend since then until last weekend. Nigel has presented the last two weekends as well as Breakfast all week! Also last week, as other presenters have been off, he presented a lunchtime North West Today and late North West Tonight at 2225! That means he hasn't had a day off since Sunday 24 June 2001 - thats 14 days in on TV! I know for a fact he's on again all week this week!!

Maybe Peter Levy is having a day off - maybe even longer off!! He has been doing Lunch and the main programme for the past two weeks so maybe has taken his annual holiday! Then again, what's the betting he's back at 6.25 tomorrow morning!
JA
jae
He will be back tomorrow morning. Dan said he would on Friday.
Peter Levy was back on Look North this morning after having 2 weeks off from 'Breakfast'.
He had been to the Isle of Man!
Meanwhile, the main Look North hasn't been presented by both 'Clare and Harry' for weeks
After 2 weeks of Clare Frisby and Peter Levy and before that Harry Gration and Cathy Killilick
Now today's is being presented by 'Harry Gration live from Bradford and Penny Bustin in the studio'
There was a specially voiced announcement, and as you can guess it was Ian White who did it.
Quickly on the Calendar...
'Faye Barker' is presenting the morning bulletins again
'Clare White' is doing Frazer Maude's slots today.

Peter Levy in the Isle of Man?! That would be the Peter Levy on at 6.30pm for the past two weeks?!
And tonight's programme from Bradford was quite good - although not sure Harry is best suited to these things. Do you think Harry and Clare have fallen out or something and will not present together any more?!!

He went to the Isle of Man over the weekend, hence why he didn't present Look North Sunday yesterday!
Yes tonight's Look North was presented by Ian White
The question is
Where is Peter Levy?
Its not like Peter to take a day off, In fact most days he takes extra bulletins on!
Oh, and I forgot to say,
The Sunday tea-time Calendar wasn't any longer than usual.
The sunday Look North was 30 seconds longer though,
The whole opt out was taken up, usually there is a 'Bradfords gone global on the world wide web' or 'From 9 to 5 on 14-85' advert
