We love Look North and Harry Gration, don’t change the format – Yorkshire Post Letters
WE love Look North, Harry Gration and all the team (The Yorkshire Post, July 17 and 18). Love the banter, the mixture of news serious and entertaining.
Age should not be a factor, it’s competence that counts and Harry’s got it in spades. They’re all part of the family.
From: Mrs Susan Abbott, Melbourne Road, Wakefield.

Hide AdI JUST had to respond to all the adverse comments about Look North (The Yorkshire Post, July 15). When you’ve been stuck at home for months listening to the sad and serious news every day, it’s nice to hear the light-hearted banter between serious news items. Please keep on smiling and carry on!
From: Helen McManus, Scarborough.
BBC Look North performs a reliable service, but to intimate that it would be better served by replacing Harry Gration with younger presenters is unhelpful. Mr Gration is a much respected stalwart of the programme.
