This is East Midlands Today, our top stories tonight: The new | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
Transport Minister signals no change on Bombardier. Theresa | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Villiers visits the Derby works but came empty handed. What is the | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
point of her coming? She made that statement, they are just playing | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
with people's emotions, people's livelihoods. Also tonight, a city | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
calls a halt to high rise student flats like this. I think it does | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
profound damage, it is poorly designed as a building which is far | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
too tall and is visible for miles around. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Plus... ARCHIVE FOOTAGE: The cargoes of our | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
bombers shattered military objectives in the City and start | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
hundreds of fires. The campaign to honour those who died on Bomber | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
Command duties. After 125,000 volunteers, 55.573 died. And the | :01:03. | :01:09. | |

Good evening, welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight, bitter | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
disappointment. Their reaction there of union leaders today after | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
a meeting with the Transport Minister Theresa Villiers at | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Bombardier in Derby. They have been hoping that she would announce some | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
new work for the factory. She did not. But she did is express | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
confidence and the company's future. -- but she did express. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Facing the cameras, the Transport Minister spoke to the media after | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
facing Bombardier and their supporters in Derby today. Without | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
new work, it could be the end of the factory. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Are you prepared to see this plant closed down? I will be fighting to | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
keep this plant healthy and flourishing and that is why I am | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
here, talking about the opportunities which I hope they | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
will have in the months and years to come. Union leaders were hoping | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
for announcements about new orders in the wake of the loss of the | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Thameslink contract and 1,400 jobs in Derby. None came. What is the | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
point of her coming? They are just play with people's emotions and | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
livelihoods. To go back in there now until -- and tell people she | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
has got things, it is wasted. everything she has spoken about, we | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
have heard before. She has done nothing to allay any fears for | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
losses for our members at all. two coming contract I especially -- | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
are especially important. They are a �200 million contract from | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Southern Rail and a �120 million contract from cross country. It is | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
claimed decisions have to be made on those contracts and quick. The | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
club is ticking as far as Bombardier is concerned. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Government must understand the urgency of dealing with these | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
contracts and getting them out to tender as quickly as possible. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Virtually all our engineers today are doing work that Bombardier has | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
:03:30. | :03:30. | ||
brought in to write the rest of the world. We cannot sustain that for | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
much longer. No hope of reopening the Thameslink contract, too costly | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
and too much delay, the minister said. Leaving behind an uncertain | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
factory future. Next, a jury has heard how a | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
householder who was attacked by an armed gang stabbed one of them to | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
death. Napoleon Sharman said they came to his flat armed with | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
baseball bats, and two people have gone on trial accused of aggravated | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
The court heard this was all fronted by a domestic dispute that | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
got completely out of hand. Napoleon Sharman had a turbulent | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
relationship with his ex-girlfriend, so much that they both complained | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
to the police and both wanted custody of their younger son. It | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
all came to a head, the court was told, last Christmas after Napoleon | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Sharman sent an abusive text message. Three weeks later, he got | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
a knock on the door at his flat. The court heard three men burst in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
and use baseball bat to give him a terrifying vicious beating so he | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
used a knife to fend them off. Shortly afterwards, a man called | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
Dean Lloyd was found bleeding to death outside. Today, two of | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
delight's friends were accused of aggravated burglary. These are | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
cousins of Mr Sharman's ex- girlfriends and both deny attacking | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
him. Napoleon Sharman gave evidence but we were told he was initially | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
arrested as well and questioned with regard to Dean Lloyd's death | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
but the court was told he was never charged because it happened inside | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
his property and that meant his Still to come on the programme, two | :05:26. | :05:32. | |

And a distinct lack of sunshine over the past week, what do we have | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :05:51. | ||
in store this week, any sunshine? City councillors in Leicester have | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
ordered a ban on new student housing developments in the city. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Thousands of student flats have been built there in the past few | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
Love it or hate it, this is one of the latest student housing blocks | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
going up in Leicester and this is what it will look like when it has | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
finished. 22 storeys high and home to hundreds of students. For a | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
while at least, it will be one of the loft developments in the City | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
as the council has temporarily stopped any planning applications | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
for student development. We have a lot of people living in these areas | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
who have lived there many years and we want to get a proper balance | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
between the needs of those residents and the needs of this did | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
and. Leicester is home to around 30,000 students and over the past | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
few years, demand for housing has soared. In 2009/10, 987 flats were | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
granted planning permission. Each one can house up to four students. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
The following year, that rose to just over 1,100 and November this | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
year up to that date, 739 flats have been granted. For Stuart | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Bailey, the step is one step too far. It does profound damage. It is | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
a poorly designed building that is far too tall and visible for miles. | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
The developers believe the architect has created a fantastic | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
design after that the consultation which will greatly enhance the area. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Meanwhile in the city centre, there is a need for student housing to | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
compete with the best. Students are expecting a higher quality of | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
accommodation. Therefore it is important we have the right balance | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
here in the City to offer to those students. We also must recognise | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
that universities are in competition with each other. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Ultimately, the city council hope that the moratorium will give it | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
more control over the future of Leicester's landscape. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
In other news, a man has been arrested on suspicion of the | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
attempted murder of a special constable. The woman had gone to | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
deal with an incident on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham in | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
the early hours of Sunday when she was hit by a car which was later | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
found abandoned. She has undergone surgery for leg fractures and is in | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
a stable condition. The 24-year-old man was arrested in Linby last | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
night. Rolls-Royce have received engine | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
orders of over �500 million, the Derby engine maker has celebrated | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
:08:36. | :08:39. | ||
after they bring its 1,000th Severn And the charity says there has been | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
an unprecedented response for a recall for small bone marrow donors. | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
:08:53. | :08:54. | ||
Almost 2000 people queued around the Welford Road stadium, more than | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
ever before. It came as an appeal to help Bethany Mickleburgh and Rik | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Basra. Thank you to everybody who did that. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
It is not often that parish politics hit the headlines but not | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
often the issue of flying the Union Jacks but a British village either. | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
Last week, we told to help residents of Gamston heard that | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
some were offended by a flag flying all the time in the centre of the | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
village. However, one councillor is threatening to resign if it is | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
taken down. Our correspondent is there. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
The meeting has just started and is promising to sort out this issue | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
once and for all. As you can see, the wood is flying tonight and that | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
is because it is the Prince of Wales's birthday an official flag | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
day-to-day. Let me remind you how this argument started. It was | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
raised for the Royal Wedding earlier this year and flew until | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
September. The council resolved to only fly it on special days. | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Towards the end of October, it was raised again to mark the death of a | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
retired council and the intention was to keep it in place until today. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
But defence has been taken on both sides. One of those who object to | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
it flying all the time is a villager called Roger Henry here | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
with us tonight. Residue each label for joining us. Your heart | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
opponents say they have received people supporting them from all | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
over the word -- some people who are your opponents. It unnerved me | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
to live in this area and have the Union Jack being flown all year | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
round. Why does it unnerve you? Because a lot of extreme groups | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
have hijacked the Union Jack and they have made it become something | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
which they kind of own themselves. It has made it offensive to people | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
of different cultures and ethnicities. Lots of people say | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
this has nothing to do with far- right politics, everything due to | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
do with patriotism, it is the British black. I totally appreciate | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
that -- it is the British flag. I totally appreciate that but over | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
the complete year, it is quite offensive. It is not a government | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
building, which has the right to fly the flag and I feel strongly | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
having the flag up all the time. will be back here tonight with our | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
late bulletin when I will be talking to Mr Henry's main | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
opponents and finding out about the result of the meeting. His main | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
opponent has threatened to resign immediately if the flag does not | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
fly all the time. A college has played host to | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
another will visitor today. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
this opening a creative art centre known as Create at Vision West | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
Notts in Mansfield. It opened to September students in September. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Three years ago, Prince Charles visited the college. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
And now for a company car with a difference, for one of, the Mayor | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
of Leicester and his deputy are trialling and electric car as part | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
of a pledge to make Leicester a low carbon City. They want to see how | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
electric vehicles could be used as alternatives before the council and | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
other local organisations. A team of Street Ambassadors is | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
being introduced in Nottingham to welcome visitors to the city. They | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
are able to give directions and recommend restaurants. The scheme | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
is funded by local retail and leisure businesses and aimed to get | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
more people shopping and eating out. Nice blue uniforms as well! As we | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
reflect on remembrance for our and services, a former air man is | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
campaigning for a memorial to thousands who died on bombing | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
missions in World War II. Ted Cachart from Derbyshire says it is | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
a disgrace that there is still not one for Bomber Command. 67 years | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
after the war's end. The sales of a memoir I hope to put that right. | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
Once a poor man, always a barman. 1:falsified his age to enter the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
RAF. He now regularly returns to Lincolnshire airfields from which | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
his Lancaster bomber set off for its final mission in 1944. His | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
plane collided with another Lancaster's, all tied's crew | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
survived, none of the other crew did. | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
Next weekend, he will again but at a bookshop in Ashbourne in | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Derbyshire to sign copies of his wartime memoir. The proceeds of the | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
book will go towards the national memorial to all those bomber crews | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
who died. In all, 55.573 lost their lives on | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Bomber Command. Out of 125,000 volunteers. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
The RAF's destruction of Dresden in Germany cast a long shadow over | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
Bomber Command. A stigma attached to us but when people say why did | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
you plummet to a close to the end of the war, but then you say, how | :14:16. | :14:26. | |
:14:26. | :14:33. | ||
do we know when the war would end? My own squadron alone, if you | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
reverse the figures, you get 851, that is the number of people killed | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
on my squadron alone. People do not realise the lives we have lost. | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
the moment, fallen friends are remembered where they can, until | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :15:02. | ||
the memorial is finally dedicated Still to come on the programme. The | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Power of Pudsey. How the money you donated to Children in Need last | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
year made a difference to youngsters like Amar. Next tonight: | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
great news from adventurer Sarah Outen. The 26 year old has | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
completed the tricky first leg of her record-breaking human-powered | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
loop of the globe. Two years ago Sarah was awarded an MBE after | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
becoming the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean. Today | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
she arrived in Tokyo after an epic expedition across land and sea. | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
:15:40. | :16:02. | ||
Sarah is trying to lead the globe. London to London. It has been full | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
of highs and lows, and I suppose, there were times when I wondered if | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
others going to make it this far. I it was going through the heat of | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
the Gobi desert and bits of equipment going wrong in Russia. It | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
:16:31. | :16:31. | ||
has been brilliant. Sarah, from Rutland, has enjoyed the high | :16:31. | :16:41. | |
:16:41. | :16:52. | ||
wildlife. We up watching the bet. They have definitely been moments | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
when I thought it was going to be when I thought it was going to be | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
Since leaving London Sarah has cycled 11 thousand miles, travelled | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
through 12 countries, and kayaked 300 nautical miles to reach Japan. | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
But the most challenging stretch is still to come. Next spring she'll | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
attempt to row the north Pacific Ocean - a feat never completed by a | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
woman. After that she still has to cycle from Canada to New York and | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:37. | ||
row the Atlantic Ocean to get back But right now, she gets a well | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
deserved rest. London to Japan - Dick! She is extraordinary, that | :17:44. | :17:54. | |

Notts County have been drawn away to non-league Sutton United in the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
second round of the FA Cup. That's after they thumped Accrington 4-1 | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
at the weekend. And Hinckley United will need to beat Tamworth in a | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
replay, if they're to make it to a second round tie at Gateshead. Ross | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
Fletcher reports. It was pretty easy for Notts County. Cole Holly | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
scored twice. Alan Judge got the second. Alan Sheehan also got on | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
:18:36. | :18:38. | ||
the scoresheet. Hinckley survive their goalkeeper being sent off. A | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
misjudgment from the keeper allowed an equaliser by Tamworth. Alfreton | :18:44. | :18:54. | |

In Rugby, Leicester Tigers kicked off their Heineken Cup campaign | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
with a solid win in Italy. First half tries from Tom Croft and | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Alesana Tuilangi set the platform for Tigers over Aironi and | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Leicester maintained their lead throughout. It was always hard work, | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
though, and Tigers only really made the scoreline reflect the game with | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
Niall Morris' try near the end. It's Ulster at home next - a very | :19:17. | :19:26. | |
tough test indeed. Much more tense for Nottingham Rugby who needed a | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
drop goal deep into injury time for their 23-20 cup win over Pontypridd. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
In ice hockey, the build up to the Panthers versus Steelers clash on | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Saturday night was totally justified by a storming game. Only | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
one goal scored all night - and this was it - the second period, on | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
the powerplay. Jordan Fox with a great setup. David Clarke with the | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
goal. But it was the defence and goaltending that really won it - | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
the highlight of Craig Kowalski's shutout seeing off a two man | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
Sheffield advantage during the first period. Boxing, and Ovill | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
McKenzie become commonwealth light- heavyweight champion over the | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
weekend. The 31-year-old fighter from Derby knocked out Jeff Evans | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
in fifteen seconds. Yes, winning the title took him about as long as | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
it has taken me to tell the story. It's almost that time again - the | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
BBC East Midlands Sports Awards are this Thursday night. Amongst the | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
possible winners, three amazing people who could be our unsung hero | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
of 2011. You'll get to find out what makes them so special this | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
:20:36. | :20:37. | ||
week and tonight we start in Newark. Move your boats slowly! Don't! | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Let's see them get on to the end. Julie works tirelessly with | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
disabled children and their families. She runs canoeing and | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
kayaking sessions. Well done guys! Don't fall behind. That's excellent. | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
Many of the people she helps are wheelchair-bound, but when they are | :21:00. | :21:10. | |
:21:10. | :21:19. | ||
I am in awe of some other people who come canoeing. Amount of | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
commitment she gives is awe- inspiring. She works full-time as a | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
paediatric physiotherapist. But at weekends, she is encouraging these | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
children. They have a lovely lifestyle, which will keep them fit | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
and healthy for as long as possible. Julie's were does not stop in the | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
water. She has even built a gym in her back garden. The idea is that | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
we keep them fit as possible, so when they get back out on the water, | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
they will be fit and ready for next season. Without Julie, I would not | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:10. | ||
have got into sport. It has helped me get to a high level. She has | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
helped me so much in my life, and I thank her so much. Julie's hard | :22:14. | :22:24. | |

work and dedication has inspired This Friday it's Children in Need | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
day and as usual we're hosting our very own Pudsey Party - this time | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
at Loughborough University And, as usual, we're hoping to raise as | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
much money as possible because it makes such a huge difference to all | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
sorts of charities here in the East Midlands. Karen Winchester has been | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
to one such project in Leicester where they're helping boost the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
confidence and social skills of children with special needs. Meet | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
:23:01. | :23:05. | ||
Amar and his support worker Surbjit. This is good great adventure | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
playground in Leicester. It is for special needs children. It is a | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
:23:19. | :23:19. | ||
place where they can come and play. I do want to ones with the children. | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
:23:29. | :23:33. | ||
To one this boy it was very timid. She never -- he never used to speak | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
to anyone. His favourite word was no. I tried to help him, with | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
socialising with the other children. He got a bit more confidence. First, | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
when he came, he would only go on the baby slide. Now he goes on | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:03. | ||
I think it is important for the children, not just those who have | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
additional needs. It does not matter if you do not have the same | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
ability. You can still play in the same way. A lot of the children | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
come to the playground and come from parents not working and low | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
:24:27. | :24:32. | ||
income parents. They cannot access Now, he is confident. They notice | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
at home that he is talking more, and he is happier, and he is not | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
always on the laptop, because frequently, before he was on the | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
laptops. He is not getting angry at all now. Do you like coming here? | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
Yes. What do you like doing? I like the swings. What else do you do? | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
play with play do it in -- playgoer in the nursery. People don't | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
realise what difference the sort of thing makes. People might think it | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
:25:16. | :25:18. | ||
does not make a difference. I have It is your money that helps. | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
Beautiful blue sky in the report. Beautiful blue sky in the report. | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
Sorry, it is not metre of plain! -- need to blame! It has been a cloudy, | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
dull day. This is what it is been like over the weekend. For now, it | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
has been cloudy and damp. Even with the cloudy skies, the autumn | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
colours still look gorgeous. Here are leaves which have fallen on to | :25:50. | :25:59. | |
a bridleway. Thank you for that We take a look at the satellite | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
picture, and the cloud is starting to increase, thickening up as we go | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
through. Already, we are starting to see some drizzly L-plate. That | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
will continue for much of the night. Temperature wise, it is going to be | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
dipping down to six Celsius. Rural spots, you can nick -- knock | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
another degree or so off. Tomorrow, we start on a cloudy note. That | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
should fizzle out. But tickly the further east you go, you may see | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
the odd glimpse of sunshine. Generally cloudy skies. A little | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
bit of a brighter feel to the day. Tempted down to nine or ten Celsius. | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
A gradual improvement as we go through the rest of the week. | :26:49. | :26:58. | |
Wednesday looks even drier, and again, a chance of seeing brighter | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
spells. A better chance on Thursday, but staying largely dry, and by the | :27:04. | :27:13. | |
time we get to Children In Need day, it will have passed. Now do you | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
remember "On the Buses", the sitcom from the 1970s? Well, tonight on | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Inside Out, actress Anna Karen, who played Olive, is back on the buses | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
to investigate cuts to rural bus services in the East Midlands. You | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
can find out what happened when she took a bus load of disgruntled | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
passengers to Westminster to confront the politicians. You can | :27:29. | :27:33. |
