James on the box

I hope no-one minds but I can't resist mentioning this. I'm going to be on the telly next week! Look North - the BBC local news programme - are coming to interview me about the short and long term effects of the flooding we've had recently. They've asked someone from the department and it ended up being me. I'm all excited!! :)

Let me know exactly when they are planning on broadcasting it...
I can get Look North through our Sky Box. I'll make you a digital copy for your blog!

Sal said...

Cool! We can't get James' Look North here so I was worried I'd never see it!

Jase said...

Just make sure he lets me know when!

Jase said...

OK - so Sally says Thursday's Look North.
Let me confirm some details...
This is the 6.30 pm edition (i.e. not Lunchtime).
Which Look North?
The Leeds based on we get in York or the one classified as Yorks/Lincs which might cover Hull a bit more?

Almost certainly not Leeds as that would be the one I get. I watched the whole thing waiting to see Dave on it before realising there was more than one version! Sal

GF said...

Did we get it?? I want to see this too...

Hi guys, there are three Look North regions. The one I'll be on is: BBC Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire) with the all-powerful, student-cult presenter Peter Levy.

Can you get this Jase? If so, it'll be Thursday evening (19th) and I'll be in Hudds anyway. I have an interview at Leeds Met that day - cameras coming on the Wednesday - so the way things go, *I* won't get to see myself otherwise. :(
