Did anybody see Look North last night after the 10 o'clock news? They had technical problems, and it was hilarious! There was no autocue and every time they tried to go to an item it didn't happen! Poor Ian White was left trying to fill a 5 minute bulletin by reading out the Look North web address over and over again very slowly!

He coped ok in the end, I especially like it when he started talking about the Christmas tree behind him in the studio.

It was brilliant, better than the cr** amateur news they usually do. Ian White's face was getting redder as it went on.

That was the best Look North in ages!

damn, sounds like it was a good one, although i find it really hard to watch when people struggle like that.

It was really cringe-worthy! I had to hide behind my hands for some it, it was so bad! Poor guy - bet he needed a stuff drink afterwards!

Sounds brill, better than the usual Look Leeds, thats why i dont watch it any more

A classic of its type.

They had similar problems a few nights ago on the real Look North (as in it's actually up north, rather than 200 miles down south!). They were reading the ten o'clock news and everytime they tried to play a video the same video appeared, no matter what news story they were discussing! Then when they were trying to fix it you could hear the producer talking to the studio and the technical team... we saw the same video about 3 times and then they gave up! Unfortunately it wasn't Carol Malia though... :(

I felt quite sorry for him but thought he did a sterling job.

He sure did. I felt sorry for him too, its not as if he could have got up and walked off.

The evening after, Ian White again apologised for the mayhem and clutching a pile of e-mails, thanked viewers for their personal support.

i wish i had seen it. hope it ends up on youtube soon....
