The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

*HYPOCRITE ALERT*

Perhaps you could afford Calendar a similar courtesy ?

No ? Then accept there are those that don't share the same views as you and deal with it without trotting out this patronising pap.

The main difference being that unlike me, there was interest shown by Mr. Garnett towards watching Look North.... how can I send constructive comment to a programme I have, in my past very seldom seen or been entirely uninterested in seeing? It would be like a lifelong Coca-Cola fan sending comments to Pepsi about their product having only consumed the odd mouthful of it.....

As I have said before, I don't mind people that disagree with my point of view. It is the way that the disagreement is expressed. There has always been with a degree of un-necessary nastiness by previous forumers towards me that sour their points. If that nastiness was removed, I would be more willing to respond positively to their comments rather than get mired in personal attacks. I am, I admit, totally unaware that I am coming over as patronising and it is never my conscious intent to be so.....

Force yourself to watch it Katherine. It would be good for the spirit to rise to the challenge, no? Much like your lent forum fast.

Plus it may balance up the scales to get a day by day missive on your findings. Lord alone knows there can't be much more to be said about Look North.

It's as dry as a wooden god, so it is.

If you like sung jingles you'll like this one, it makes the travel one seem very conservative, this one's like something from commercial radio!

It's a pitty Peter Levy isn't still at Radio Leeds then he could have one like that

It'll be interesting to see if Trish Bertram's done one for the Saturday evening show 'Hot Country with Bob Preedy on BBC Local Radio' just for the irony of it all

I've been listening to the jingle jangles at IQ Beats and I reserve judgement - they're a bit different, aren't they?

ahhhh that's who did them - I thought they were Music4 at first

I think it's worth mentioning here that I did actually seriously question their commitment to O/Bs outside Hull earlier this summer, when I was surprised to find out that Look North were not sending its full compliment of presenters to the Lincolnshire Show.

Upon raising this issue with Roger Farrant, he said that with the programme relaunch and the breaking major news story with the Bichard Inquiry around the same time, it was 'a hurdle too far' for them.

They were keen to establish and 'bed in' the new studio before taking the programme immediately out on the road. He also stated that despite this, a sizeable portion was broadcast live from the Lincolnshire Show with Helen Philpot doing the honours, vox pops included and Paul going as well to do a live forecast. He said also that he thought Helen and Paul were names sufficiently big enough to carry that portion of the show.

I guess that they didn't want to be too ambitious with their programming before the studio was sufficiently tried and tested.... but with regard to the spread of the reporting Boston and other places outside Hull ARE getting their fair share of airtime, what with Paul Gascoigne signing to Boston United, the Boston Standard highlighting litter louts in the town, the Euro 2004 rioting in Boston's market place, the Trustthorpe murder case, the Luke Walmsley case in North Somercotes, the new seaside structure to be built in Scarborough, flooding in Gainsborough, the Laura Torn case at Owston Ferry and the new Pescod Square shopping development, also in Boston. It is by no means as Hull-centric as people make out.

Next year, they may very well get out and about more during the summer months when the studio's more established, and I think that by December, it will have been adequately bedded down to do a good O/B from Lincoln's Christmas Market. I also think it's a bit too much for people to expect a totally new studio complex to go live without any gremlins in the works. Reading Richard Whiteley's memoirs, I know that Yorkshire Television did not go live devoid of errors.....

BREAKING NEWS FROM LUNCHTIME: Clare Frisby is three months pregnant! Her baby is due in February....

Sorry to say you are wrong.
A main presenter and OB crew with Sat truck is sent out every day to do a live inject into the programe.
Some bits may be pre-recorded but that is down to event timings/logistics etc.

I think the main presenter was the "one a programme" that was mentioned

Well if only my life was so shallow to be actually bothered if you think it's a personal attack or not, i'd be scared! Katherine, if you need reminding, you actually started it off with your flippant remarks about your parents - I think some humour might be available at your local Boots Chemists for you to take, about several spoonfulls should do it.

It's nice to see that even you can't come up with a decent schedule of BBC programmes for me to watch. Quote names a plenty if you like (Roger Farrant etc.) it still doesn't tame the fact that the programme is dull and you do sound like a person desperately trying to get some kind of job with Peter and Paul. Not a personal attack - just the facts mam, just the facts. If you can't stomach it - tough!

So will you now try to get me banned? You have got a bit of a track record of creeping to the mods when things aren't going your way.

I will if you persist with personal attacks publically, and not take these into Private Messaging - the Mods will not appreciate a thread being soured by unnecessary nastiness..... I am not creeping, just following the rules about disagreements being taken off forum....
