Hello and welcome to BBC Points West. The headlines tonight: The | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
mental health services under fire. Were a couple killed by their | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
mentally ill son given the right care and support? | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Any spare seats? Extra carriages are promised for our overcrowded | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
trains. Also tonight, it was once a fire | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
museum - now a Somerset mansion has been deliberately set alight. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
There we have a lovely old stately home that has gone to rack and ruin. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And pukka plantain - the international flavours of the west | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
that have caught the eye of Jamie Good evening. First tonight, the | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
damning report into mental health services in Wiltshire. It's found a | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
persistent failure in the way Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Partnership cared for a mentally ill man who went on to batter his | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
elderly parents to death. Bob and Elsie Crook had taken in their son | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
after his mental health deteriorated. But although repeated | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
assessments found he was a significant risk to others, nothing | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
appropriate was done. Dickon Hooper is in south Gloucestershire where | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:30. | ||
this report has just been published. Good evening. The pub -- the report | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
has been published in the last 15 minutes, over 300 pages of | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
strongly-worded criticism. Let me give you a flavour of the type of | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
thing that it says. The assertive clinical management of Mr Cook | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
would have prevented the steady deterioration of his mental illness | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
and the subsequent death of his parents. So for the first time, a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
direct link between his poor treatment and his parents' deaths. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
Sadly for the family, this doesn't go far enough. His sister Janice | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
wants to see more independent reviews of what happened in the | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
run-up to her parents' deaths. were very sociable people. They | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
used to run a tea dance for their friends. Bob and Elsie Crook were | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
just trying to help their son Timothy, but paid for it with their | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
lives. He'd moved back in with them here after being treated for a | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
delusional disorder in Lincoln. They didn't know how ill he was. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
But he was on the radar of the two mental health trusts, and although | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
his sister repeatedly asked for help for years, Timothy was failed | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:53. | ||
by both, according to today's report - the latest in a long list. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
It was devastating. They were such a big part of our family. Every | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
town there was a birthday, a celebration, a Christmas, they were | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
there. We'll never get over what happened. The thing that's been | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
most damaging is what's happening now. They deserve the truth. We're | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
not getting the truth. It hasn't gone far enough. There are too many | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
discrepancies within the reports. Where do you go now? I don't know. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
I honestly don't know. The report says the trusts knew | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Timothy presented a "significant risk to the safety of other people" | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
but "failed to deliver the required standard of care and treatment" and | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
:03:50. | :03:52. | ||
"systematically ignored policy and This is one of the worst cases of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
negligence that I have seen reported. I have already advised | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
the family that there may be a claim for compensation, although | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
their priority at a rent is the report and recognise the -- | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
recommendations, and sing them implemented so that this cannot | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
happen again. The report makes 23 recommendations to the to mental | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
health trust. None of them will bring her parents back. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Janis left this building about an hour and a half ago in tears. She | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
said she hadn't had an apology from the Mental Health Trust until today. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
Both of them have since apologised and offered condolences and said | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
they it except the report in its entirety, saying they are now | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
working through the recommendations. But one of the most difficult | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
aspect of this is that Janice repeatedly asked for help for her | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
and for her parents who were themselves classed as normal or | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
adults, and she was in effect ignored. This is a point I put to | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
the Avon and will chair Mental Health Partnership who worked | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
effectively responsible for Timothy asked -- after he moved back in | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
with his parents. She was absolutely right to ask for help, | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
and we did not hear the cries of her and her family, and that led to | :05:20. | :05:29. | |
a deterioration in Mr X's mental health. The report doesn't indicate | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
that resignation or disciplinary action is an appropriate way to | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
deal with this. We are talking about what we can learn as an | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
organisation and stop such events happening again. It is not just | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
this case. The mental health services are also under fire | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
tonight for the way they dealt with another man. | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
That is right, Karl James in Swindon in 2007, killed by his | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
schizophrenic friend Matthew Harris. That was another big report they | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
have been wading through here. It again says that Matthew Harris was | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
let down by an Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, it talks | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
about the lack of management direction being a contributed | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
factor to Mr James's death. So, a bad day for mental health services | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:35. | ||
Police trying to find the body of the murdered farmer Kate Prout say | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
they're now searching a wider area. She disappeared back in 2007 but | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
her body has never been found. Last week her husband Adrian admitted | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
murder and took detectives back to the spot where he says he buried | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
her. Police have been searching the location, which is within woodland | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
on the farm where they lived, but so far they've found nothing. They | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
say it's a delicate and painstaking process and they're keeping Kate's | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
family constantly updated. A Bristol man who repeatedly | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
stabbed his unarmed victim in the chest has been found guilty of | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
murder. Stephen Vice was convicted after a three-week trial and now | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
faces a life sentence after he murdered Wayne Brown in Patchway in | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
January this year. The 25-year-old victim, who had a three-year-old | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
toddler, was attacked in Rodway Road and died of his injuries. Vice, | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
who was 21 at the time, will be A mother's been describing her | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
terror after a car caught fire with her baby still inside. 18-month-old | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Chad was left in the car on the driveway of the family home in | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Gloucestershire while his mother took his siblings inside. Moments | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
later she saw flames. Police are investigating reports that a man | :07:39. | :07:49. | |
:07:49. | :07:49. | ||
was seen running away. The flames were as tall as me, but luckily | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
they were on that side of the car so I could get him out. I was | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
terrified, I didn't know what to do. The train operator First Great | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Western is to introduce 48 more carriages to its services next year. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
The extra capacity is expected to be supplied for services heading | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
into London to cope with passenger overcrowding. It means high-speed | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
trains from Bristol and Swindon will be made one carriage longer. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
John Maguire is at Gloucester railway station for us now. John. | :08:22. | :08:31. | |
This is a problem we have known about for some time, isn't it? | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Dead right. Overcrowding has been a problem on trains for many years | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
now, and whenever this has been raised, the company say there is | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
not enough rolling stock. They also say the franchises are too | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
restrictive. But this morning, the Secretary of State for Transport | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
signed off on a deal which should make transport for a large amount | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
of passengers a lot more comfortable. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
For many commuters on First Great Western trains, regardless of their | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
ticket price, this is how their day starts and ends. I am paying the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
equivalent of a mortgage for this, and I have to say, the morning is | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
bad, but the evening is worse. is a fairly stressful and very | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
crowded. Trains are often delayed. You're used to having to stand, so | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
you don't think about where the mind it will not, you almost expect | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
Everyone accepts there just aren't enough train carriages at peak | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
times, so First Great Western has struck a deal with the Government | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
and will introduce more than 900 new seats. So, we are in a buffet | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
vehicle. We will be taking those out of store. These are first class | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
seats will go, and at the other end of the Rea, we have -- the vehicle, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
we have the buffet area, and we will remove all of this and putting | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
84 standard seats. 18 of our high- speed trains will each have an | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
additional carriage, and each carriage will have 84 seats. But | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
why leave it till the end of the franchise? This is the third | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
agreement we have made in 20 months in terms of bringing extra capacity | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
into the business, so we have not been resting on our laurels. | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
Rail passenger groups have been calling for this for years. A | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
overcrowding is worse than unpleasant. I often catch a train | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
from Swindon, and by the time it gets to Didcot, there is standing | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
room only. That is not a way to make people travel. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
The extra carriages arrive next year just as First Great Western | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
bids to renew its franchise. If it loses out to someone else, then | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
this will become their problem. We have talked about these issues | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
are a lot and the last couple of weeks, not only in terms of the | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
train operators themselves but also Network Rail. More and more people | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
want to catch trains. The challenge for the industry through right all | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:34. | ||
of this is to keep up with There's been a large fire at an | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
historic mansion house in Somerset. Firefighters were called to the | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
former psychiatric hospital at Sandhill Park in Bishops Lydeard in | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
the early hours of this morning, but they were unable to go inside | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
as it was too dangerous. Ironically, the derelict building was once a | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
fire museum, as our chief Somerset correspondent Clinton Rogers now | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
reports. Firemen battle to save a grade one | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
listed building in Somerset. They were called here at about 3.30 this | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
morning, and they are in no doubt this fire was started deliberately. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
This was once a grand manor house, but the building has been empty and | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
boarded up for more than a decade. But that hasn't stopped people | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
getting inside. Among other things, it is apparently a mecca for ghost | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
hunters. People who live nearby say the building is always being broken | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
into, often in the dead of night. By all accounts, it is supposed to | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
be one of the most wanted buildings and the country. I think it is | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
Facebook the kids get their details from. All the residents used to say | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
that one day we will wake up in the morning and see flames. When my | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
husband called me at 7am, it was a dramatic skyline, a glow of red. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
At its height, six fire crews fought the fire. To begin with they | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
were hampered by a shortage of water. In the end they had to pump | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
it from a pond a mile and a half away. But they couldn't prevent the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
flames destroying one wing and badly damaging the roof and third | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
floor of the main building. Over the last five years, we have had | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
numerous fires on this site deliberately set. We have had the | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
site are boarded up, and it has become unsecured again. We have | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
worked hard with the police and the local authorities to try to | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
maintain the site's security, but it has been impossible. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
At one time, Sandhill Park House at Bishops Lydeard was the centre of a | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
600-acre private estate. After that it became a psychiatric unit for | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
the health authority, and for a time, ironically, it was a fire | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
museum. Following today's fire, the future of this historic building is | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :13:59. | ||
Now, it may be mild today, but this time last year we were in the midst | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
of a cold snap - snow on the ground, icy roads and temperatures as low | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
as minus 15. Today figures have been released showing the number of | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
deaths linked to the cold weather - 25,700 in England and Wales, just | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
slightly down on the year before. Already community groups here are | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
trying to prevent a similar picture this winter. The Somerset Community | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Foundation is calling on people who can afford it to donate their | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
winter fuel allowance to those who need it most. It's an idea they | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
tested last year, and it's now being adopted across the country, | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:45. | ||
as Sarah-Jane Bungay reports. Food on the move, meals on route to | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
those who are housebound a cannot cook for themselves. This day | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
centre is one project to benefit from winter fuel cash, given back | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
by pensioners to those who needed more. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
He intends to be the family is that express gratitude that mummy or | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
granny is now getting a hot meal, and they know them and getting a | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
visit every day. The fund for those enjoying a subsidised meal, rising | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
fuel costs have started to bite. They have gone up a bit! I am not | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
in the house very much. It is such a struggle now. Everything has gone | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
up, and the pension has not. What about the winter fuel allowance, | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
does that help you? Oh, that helps. We are in the money that week! | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
�56,000 was raised last winter here in Somerset alone by people who | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
wanted to give back the equivalent of their winter fuel allowance. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
This year, the scheme has been expanded, and �30,000 has been | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
pledged ordinated in the first week across the West. We had lots of | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
letters back from people last year he wanted to help those who were | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
sleeping in their kitchen in the winter to keep warm. One lady had | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
ended up in hospital with hypothermia and could not keep her | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
home. -- heed her home. It is a very simple scheme. The number of | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
households in fuel poverty is now estimated at 4 million. Any money | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
donated back as part of this scheme will be used to help them keep warm, | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
eat well and remain mobile this winter. | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
Well, Ian's on the roof for us. Ian, is there any indication yet that | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
this winter could be as cold as the last one? | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
I have got to say that none of the longer range seasonal forecasts | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
have suggested it will be a particularly cold or mild winter, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
somewhere in the average is likely. But this long-range seasonal | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
forecasting is very much in its infancy. We will have to see. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
A aeon is back with the full forecast. First, though, teenagers | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
in Wiltshire have been given a hard-hitting message today about | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
the risks young drivers take and the devastating consequences. Every | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
nine days a young person is killed on roads in the South West. Today a | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
group of 15-year-olds heard from bereaved parents, emergency service | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
workers and a driver whose actions had killed his best friend. Ali | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
Hard hitting, shocking and realistic - this is part of the | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
film shown to teenagers this morning in Devizes. Although a | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
fictional drama of four teenagers out for the night, the accident and | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
detail of what happened next was utterly convincing to all who | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
watched it. The consequences of a young distracted driver going too | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
fast and a passenger not wearing a seat belt. Many left crying after | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
:17:56. | :17:57. | ||
what they had seen. It was shocking and heartbreaking. It was just | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
dreadful seeing their parents. It brought it to life. It was really | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
shocking. I have never seen anything like it. I was close to | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
tears. It was the true accounts of local people who have been involved | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
in a similar situation that gave it such impact, like the parents who | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:27. | ||
have had to pick up the pieces and live with the consequences. There | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
is nothing worse for a parent than to have to go to a walk -- a morgue | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
and see their child laid out in front of them, dead. We need to | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
talk in a very hard hitting way that these things really do happen. | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
They also true-life tales from those in the emergency services. | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
But was the message too hard- hitting? Youngsters nowadays are so | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
desensitised to reality, you need a hard-hitting message for them to | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
understand what can really happen. It is not just the high number of | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
deaths causing concern. The survey shows that nearly 25% of young | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
adolescents get into a car with a driver knowing that they have had | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
drink or drugs. Over 50% said that the young driver has also broken | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
the speed limit, and 15% of passengers don't put on their seat | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:37. | ||
belts when they are out driving with their mates. So, the aim of | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
today? To catch these future drivers before it's too late, and | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
:19:49. | :20:07. | ||
to give all young people the confidence to say no. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Taxi drivers in Bristol are being reminded of the guidelines for | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
dealing with confrontations with customers. It follows an incident | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
in Stokes Croft during which Muhammad Javed drove into a man and | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
carried him on the bonnet of his cab for more than 25 metres after a | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
row over a fare. The attack, which left the man with serious head | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
injuries, was captured on CCTV. Javed was jailed for six months at | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Bristol Crown Court after admitting dangerous driving and assault | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
causing actual bodily harm. With the price of copper and other | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
metals going through the roof over the past three years, there has | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
been a problem with people stealing metals to sell on as scrap. Today, | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
police around the West took part in a day-long series of spot checks of | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
lorries and scrap dealers. Here's Jules Hyam. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
This is one of the most sought- after things in the world of scrap | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
- copper. Back in early 2009 it went for around �1.50 a kilo. In | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
spring of this year, it was �6.50. That rise in price has seen a | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
corresponding rise in the number of metal thefts, and a continuing | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
police operation to to try and stop them across Somerset and in | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Gloucestershire, too. Officers spent today checking vehicles, | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
checking the source of their metal cargo and checking where the metal | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
is heading. As well as stops like that one here on the A303, police | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
have also been visiting scrap metal yards. Most of them in Somerset are | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
signed up to a voluntary code of practice that should make it easier | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
to track down goods should they turn out to be stolen. Under the | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
code, dealers take the names and adresses of people selling them | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
metal, but also photo ID and, if neccessary, fingerprints. The | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
police in turn warn the dealer yards when they are aware of a | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
:21:36. | :21:40. | ||
metal theft. Not all yards onside. Most are, it has to be said. If we | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
do have unusual crimes or suspect vehicles, we can feed that into the | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
scrapyards, and lots of time we have information coming back, in | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
the metal taken to the arts. the vehicles the police stopped | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
while we were watching had legal cargo. It is part of an ongoing | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
operation against metal theft. The Now, people from the St Paul's | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
area have been teaching one of the country's top chefs how to make | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
food - Bristol-style. The local cooks gave the celebrity Jamie | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Oliver a few lessons, and tonight they'll appear on his national | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
programme about what influences our food, including Rice and Things on | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
Cheltenham Road. Here's Michelle Pascal with a taste. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
This is the rice. And here are the things. The chef at this restaurant | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
on Cheltenham Road has been showing Jamie Oliver how to cook Jamaican | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
style. Jamaican fried chicken, a bit of steamed veg, over here we've | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
got some curried goat - nice, tender, very succulent, Jamaican | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :23:02. | ||
national dish ackee and saltfish. Their sheer devotion for food kept | :23:02. | :23:11. | |
them locked in a kitchen from 6am till 11pm. Actually we did about 15 | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
different dishes together from jerk chicken to oxtail, you name it, | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
:23:23. | :23:25. | ||
down to making salads and coleslaw the way we make it. Tonight Bristol | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
will be the highlight of a national cooking programme which shows how | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Britian's rich culture has been influenced by the diversity of | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
foods. Watch Jamie has done is incorporated all of that with the | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
British spices to show us how we get these lovely food on our table | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
and where they are coming from. But it's not just about the cooking. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
It's also about gathering and how some of Bristol's woods also | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
harbour culinary delights. basically showing him how close to | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Bristol you could be and still finding wild ingredients. I took | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
him up to the other side of Ashton Court and showed him around, and we | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
found some wild mushrooms. These mushrooms are lovely. They smell | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
like aniseed. These are Puccini, and these are common puffballs. | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
There are a vehicle for flavour. The inspiration for a new foods | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
came with the ships that travelled up the Avon when Bristol was a | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
thriving international port. Those ships have now gone, but the legacy | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
of Fine Foods from around the world It is normally about this time of | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
day that a little taster comes into the studio, but she obviously | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
didn't get that memo! Things are hotting up in the kitchen, but they | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
are cooling down outside. Let's We could do with some of that warm | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Jamaican food up here on the roof! Tonight will be the first | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
widespread frost of the season. It will come as a bit of a shock for | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
most people after the mild autumn we have had. But after a chilly | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
start tomorrow, it should be bright. Tomorrow we will see some air frost | :25:21. | :25:30. | |
and ground frost. When we talk about ground frost, we are talking | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
about it getting to zero Celsius or below down on the ground. But when | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
we talk about an air frost, we are talking about it being measured | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
about 4 ft above the ground. If the air temperature is zero, it will be | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
less than that on the ground. Overnight, we have a front building | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
in. The wind will fall slack, and the frost will develop widely. | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
Tomorrow it is a continuation of the decent day. The detail for the | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
rest of deceiving: It is already starting to turn chilly. You will | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
see the temperatures starting to tumble away progressively with each | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
passing hour. We will reach the coldest spell just after we get | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
through towards daybreak. The centre of Bristol will probably | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
stay at three Celsius, but you won't have to go far outside to | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :26:46. | ||
find temperatures at one Celsius or below. Parts of the Cotswolds will | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
be very cold. Hazy sunshine for the day, a beautiful afternoon, when | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
the breeze just starting to pick up. Temperatures will recover well | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
after the chilly start. Beyond that, after tonight's Frost, no further | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
risk of frost in the foreseeable future. We are back to a mild theme | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
for the rest of the working week and into the weekend. Significant | :27:17. | :27:27. | |
rain comes our way towards the end Ian, thank you, and given that mild | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
has been the theme of the weather, tonight will be a bit of a shock to | :27:31. | :27:37. |
