How the BBC broke Diana's death

That week, good old Calendar news were pretty much the only programme to play any form of music or jingle on Yorkshire TV. It would go from ITV's National Weather static slide (as I remember it it was something like a dead tree in a post-apocolyptic landscape), immediately into Calendar's perky jingle and Krista's fake orangeness.

Somebody mentioned torrential rain in South Yorkshire. It was so bad there was a big landslide which derailed a passing train near Barnsley, but of course barely got a mention even on Look North.

A very surreal time, and presentation on TV which is unlikely to be repeated.
