Talking about the trailer, I noticed a few differences between the billboard poster in it and the real thing (you know I really should be revising instead of posting pointless coments about minute details of YTV trails, but anyway...). First it doesn't have the "new look" written over the word Calendar, and it doesn't have the ITV1 Yorkshire logo in the bottom right corner. .

Oh so there actually is a real thing then! I haven't seen them anywhere!

Oh yes, I've only seen the one, opposite a "the one" poster in Bramley.

Its a Christine and Gaynor double act again today

Geoff will probably be preparing for the last in the present series of Around the House which is on tonight at 11.00pm, and Gaynor probably needs something to do considering last weeks's The Buzz fiasco

Charlotte Leeming did Look North Breakfast again!

Question Time came from Leeds tonight. But where in Leeds did it actually come from? Anyone know?

There's a special studio for it on the first floor of BBC Leeds on Woodhouse Lane. Through the double doors in reception, a short way down the corridor and you're there.

Look North's studio is a floor above!

It turns out it isn't the last in the series of Around the House today, so Geoff Druett will still be seen in two weeks

They are really pushing the Duncan Wood thing, that trailer is on quite frequently especialy around regional programmes

Errrrrm, afraid not...

It comes from YTV, this is standard practice (to use regional ITV studios) with Question Time. This is because the BBCs regional studios aren't big enough, but also anyone anywhere can hire out any studio. Hence Boys & Girls is filmed at BBC Television Centre...

I thought it may have been at YTV hence why I was curious.

Now where does it come from when they were in Bradford?

Think it might be the town hall, but I'm not sure! In this case, they'd use a scanner truck and effectivly do a live OB...

Why did they say then, that the Question Time studio WAS at Woodhouse Lane when I went?

So, like Andrew said, Geoff has left Calendar to "make documentaries" and shared a kiss with Christine tonight. Duncan came on at the end, and confirmed new look, new set, new titles, new music for Tuesday.

Firstly Karen Petch did Calendar Lunchtime News meaning she got to sit on the soft furnishings!

As you say Duncan Wood came into the studio at the end there with a brief mention of the new look Calendar, which differs from what Central News West would have done which is dedicate 5 mins to a promo!

He says there is a new set and new music, I do hope the new music isn't that new and doesn't throw away over 20 years of the same Calendar theme!

I expect Gemma Calleja's bulletin at 6.35am on Tuesday will be when we see the new look bulletin backdrop and graphics
