The parties begin

Been a busy week getting ready for Christmas. Valery, Deborah's cousin came to visit and we had a tour of the Emmerdale studios in Leeds. An amazing community if actors, production staff and craftspeople. In the run up to Christmas they have managed to shoot 18 episodes in 12 days - an amazing achievement.

In Bradford we have completed a day of Workshops at the National Media Museum for 13-19 year olds. They are making 5 films in our journalism competition. More about those in due course.

ITV Yorkshire pulled out all the stops for a great party in Studio three with a funfair and snow machine outside.
