Darren Betts (is a weatherman)
Lee Coupland
Viewers of the regional news programme, "Look North", will already
know our Darren.. he's the young, fresh-faced schoolboy type who
presents the weather forecast of an evening, decked out in a
Greenwood's finest tweed three-piece..
Well, I don't think Darren gets the recognition he deserves; with his
wobbly fizzog and perfectly-parted hair, he's the kinda guy mothers
would kill for to have dating their daughters..
.. so here's what I propose ..
The Darren Betts Appreciation Society.
Mail me if you're interested in joining ..

That is, the REAL 'Look North' and not the "Look To Near Scotland And
Wave" imposter based in Newcastle.
But I digress...

He's lovely, despite him looking about 12. And he is one very good reason
to watch 'Look North' now King Harry and Dame Judith are no more (alright,
I know someone is about to post - "Sophie Raworth - phoarrrr". I still
think she's a bit woodern).
However, the true god of Yorkshire telly weather is, of course, Sir Bob
Rust. Wouldn't it be sweet if Darren and Debbie Lindley were an item. Awwww.

I like Mike McCarthy myself. Damien Johnson is OK but his sport reports
aren't as good as King Harry's used to be back in the good old days.
: Bob Rust is quite good at the weather.

My reaction to this was akin to Frank N Furter's when Columbia says "he's
OK" about Rocky...

: wooden IMHO. She was better on the Pulse Travel. And isn't she

Dunno if she's married. I was just thinking of a nice "and finally..."
story. My mother's boyfriend fancies Debbie Lindley almost as much as he
fancies Dervla Kirwan.

So you stomped about in fish-nets then asked Susan Sarandon her opinion?

As a matter of fact, yes.

I've met Damien as well and yes, he's an nice fella .. only thing
about Damien is that he seems to get all the crappy jobs that none of
the others want anything to do with..
You don't see Sophie or Mike (no teeth) McCarthy reporting from Grimsby..
Why is it most of the news reports are from Grimsby ?
Still, its better than Calendar.
Now *there's* a cack programme.. the intolerable Mike Morris, and
poor old Christa trying to hold it together and thinking how much
better off she was working the line at Cadbury's...
Lee.

Sophie Raworth - phwoaarrrrr!

Calendar may be crap, but Christa Ackroyd, now there's a star...

I've never liked Christa Ackroyd. Gaynor Barnes is FAR better and isn't
on 'Calendar' enough.
Whatever happened to Sue Thingybob <arrgh, name escapes me!> ???

I used to like Christine Talbot till she took up on that Tonight thing..
now that *is* cack.. talk about predictable :
There's the vet, John Baxter, snore snore; some old queen called Carl
tarting about in peoples' houses wearing a chiffon scarf, Dales
Diary, that Yorkshire Poet bloke, need I go on ..
Things haven't been the same since Nationwide used to be on, and we
got to laugh at Frank Bough's hair and gaudy sweaters :)

burdened in the cerebral area. I think it would be better if she and
Sir Bob were having a really nasty, sweaty affair with lots of hair and
spit and Johnson's baby oil and, and....oooh, I'm going to have to have
a lie down now.

Darren Betts comes across as a pleasant enough chap, it's the smug git Peter Levy that
really annoys me at lunchtime with his little 'jokes' as an intro to the weather with Mr
Betts.
As for Gaynor Barnes she seems to be seen more often on 'Tonight' than Calender these
days.

Is Mike Morris still looking in the wrong camera?
Some meaningful loves in life ->

Mike Morris has that strange vacant look whatever camera he chooses to speak too.
