The Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Thread

Before 'Tonight' Christine use to do all the political leg work for Richard and Geoff. I f anybody saw the behind the scenes documentary about Calendar on Channel 4 some 6/7 years ago would see her at work at a party conference.

What has happened to Alan Hardwick?

I didn't know that, so she must know about politics then!

Alan Hardwick retired though I think he is on BBC Radio Lincs

It's another Bank Holiday tommorow!

Look North is on during Breakfast, 12.35pm, 6.10pm and 10.25pm

Calendar News is on at 1.00pm and 5.35pm

Yes Alan Hardwick left YTV - just about a year ago - although some taped docos ran after he departed.
He's on BBC Radio Lincoln at lunchtimes. You can see him at work on the studio webcam.
He'd grown a beard last time I saw him....

No Peter Levy today on Look North, Ian White instead.

There was a time when bank holiday weekends meant that Peter Levy would still appear as normal, East viewers may see him tommorow?

Its been a weekend of Look North marriages...
Clare Frisby
Charlotte Doney
Helen Morton
Obviously not to each other! But to their long term partners.

There was me thinking this was going to be the week Peter Levy returns to Leeds to cover for Clare Frisby going on honeymoon, obviously I put 2 and 2 together and got 5 as it was Tom Ingall

I won't say 'it looks like he's doing all week' because last time I said that Clare was back the next day!

Why on earth would C4 screen a documentary about YTV's p**s-poor news programme?

Quite. I think it was more a case of "Let's take the mickey out of a regional news show" documentary. I saw it and it confirmed everything I thought about Calendar. They just haven't moved on have they? It's like regional TV in the 1980s. If they did more news rather than having so many daft stories they might win back a few viewers. Let's hope Duncan Wood improves things!

Yeah, Calendar hasn't had its titles and set changed for ages!!! These were introduced in 2000 and since then neighboring Tyne Tees have changed the set of North East Tonight four times and the titles three times!!!

Mind you, Calendar isn't as bad as London Tonight, who haven't changed their titles since 1999 or Border whose Lookaround programme had the same titles from January 1993 to September 2001!!!

There's nothing wrong with that



I'd say that that was more of a problem there isn't any need to update the studio and set that often

Blimey!! Has someone put something marriage-inducing in the water systems of Leeds and Hull?

And what about Peter Levy? THAT'S the marriage we're all waiting for!
