Prisoners won't return to Bedford prison | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
until more staff are recruited - that's the assurance given | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Part of the issue here is the enormous stress that prison officers | :00:13. | :00:25. | |
are under the kids they don't have the right numbers to look after the | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
number of prisoners. The unseasonal thieves targeting | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
butchers in the run to Christmas - one business loses ?15,000 | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
worth of meat. Stand by for the man dash, | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
the retailers hoping for a last And after yesterday's delay, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the Queen and Prince Philip arrive at Sandringham | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
to start their Christmas break. Prison wings closed after a riot | :00:43. | :00:56. | |
at Bedford prison won't re-open That's according to the local MP | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
who visited the prison today. Richard Fuller says he was reassured | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
that prisoners won't be moved back A riot last month left much | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
of the prison unusable - with under-staffing and overcrowding | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
blamed as the cause. Our Home Affairs correspondent | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Sally Chidzoy reports. The riot at Bedford | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
jail last month will go down as a key date | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
in the crisis afflicting jails | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
across the country. Hundreds of inmates took control | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
of two wings and used images of their rampage | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
to social media sites. Privately, many governors | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
and prison officers have said that incident finally | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
made the governments sit up and listen, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
as they'd been warning | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
that staffing levels were so low, prisoners | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
and There are now 200 fewer | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
prisoners at Bedford. They were shipped out | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
after the troubles. Today, MP Richard Fuller met | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
the governor and the head of the national offender | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
management service. The focus was on safety | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
of prisoners and offices. You lack a lowly prison might be OK | :01:58. | :02:23. | |
from prisoners to be returned, I think it would be a mistake to bring | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
prisoners back until the issue of prison officer numbers increase. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
The prison is trying to attract more staff but many officers are leaving | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
because of the unsafe working conditions. | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
Bedford jail is being designated a so-called red site, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
that means more benefits can be offered to drive recruitment. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
our new staff and officers on new terms and conditions to receive a | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
It is only temporary but it could help bring | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
new staff and prisoners on a par with Milton Keynes, who have been | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
offering increased pay for a long period, which has brought staff away | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
The local MP said he plans to closely monitor prison movement at | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
This will involve regular meetings with the governor. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
We have a right to know that the prisoners working safely for the | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
prisoners, the prison officers and the population as a whole. The | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
element is keeping the option open of more prisoners returning to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Bedford but said the damaged wings will not open any time soon unless | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
there is an absolute emergency. Now, the long and significant | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
decline in prison officers is at the heart of what is going on in the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
prison establishment. There are more mock ups of prisoners, more tension, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
more frustration. It's a vicious cycle. -- lock ups. A pension | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
package was also unpaid. This means prison guards could go on protests. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
This is a blow to the governments. They had hoped a deal could have | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
meant more stability in our prisons. As said in the report, it's not just | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
about page comments about safety. Then Bedford, a number of prison | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
officers are haemorrhaging out of the jail because of receiving it to | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
be a difficult and dangerous place to work. They are quitting the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
service altogether are going elsewhere. It means there are more | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
leaving than their are being recruited. That is a big problem for | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
the governments and it's up to the governments to get it right. Right | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
now, it's getting it wrong. Back to you, James, any Judeo. Thank you, | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Sally. -- in the studio. Police are warning business | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
owners who sell meat and poultry that they may be | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
vulnerable to theft. This comes after over | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
?30,000 worth was stolen Most recently, thieves targeted | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
a butchers in Fulbourn. Much of the haul | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
was Christmas orders. Staff in this Fulbourn had been | :04:53. | :04:53. | |
working round the clock to prep On Tuesday night, ?15,000 worth | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
of that meat was stolen. My first thought was actually, | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
have one of the guys been Because the lock sticks | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
and we've had 20 minutes And so, it was like, no, no, | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
none of us have done this. So, I thought, oh, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
I better check the fridge. I opened the fridge | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and the contents were Security is now being tightened up | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
and every effort is being made to ensure people's orders are met, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
if a little later than planned. A nice big rib of beef I was going | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
to serve on Christmas Eve, I trust that they will get | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
some more in but, yeah, it means added shopping at this time | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
of year, which is not good, really. When I came in this morning to pick | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
up a whole gammon for Christmas, because we are going to family | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
and I was bring it with me I was just very sad and sorry | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
for them to discover they had been It is the third meat theft | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
in South Cambridgeshire this month. The following week, ?12,000 of meat, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
including turkey, was taken Rogue traders tend to approach | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
people in pub and supermarket car But trading standards is warning | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
people not to be tempted by offers of cheap meat, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
which won't have been The risks are really high | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
for contamination with pathogens Some of those microorganisms can't | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
be killed by cooking. If you don't cook things | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
sufficiently, you end up with some For the very old and very | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
young, they can be fatal. For anyone in between, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
it would ruin Christmas and it's Police are urging butchers and farm | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
shops to be vigilant, and customers may have | :06:44. | :06:54. | |
to be patient. Police are still investigating | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
the cause of a large fire at a cleaning products firm | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
in Northamptonshire yesterday. Eight fire engines and two aerial | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
platforms were called to the blaze at Multy UK | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
on the Earlstree Industrial At its height, 70 firefighters | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
tackled the flames which created plumes of black smoke that | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
were visible for miles. Firearms officers are carrying | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
out additional patrols in Northamptonshire | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
following events in Berlin. The operation began this morning | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
with armed police officers Police say there is no | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
specific threat but patrols Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
and Hertfordshire Police, who share armed response units, will be | :07:34. | :07:51. | |
carrying out "routine patrols". The leader of Cambridgeshire County | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
Council says he wants to be Steve Count is seeking the backing | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
of the conservation party The new mayor will have | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
enhanced powers over housing and transport | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
across all of Cambridgeshire I'll be talking to Councillor Count | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
in a moment but first Louise Hubball has been looking at those hoping | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
to be the all power elected mayor. Most of the councils | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough The party has yet to | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
choose their candidates. We've already heard from Heidi | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Allen, the South Cambridgeshire MP, Today, the leader of | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Cambridgeshire County Council, Recently, James Palmer, the leader | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
of Cambridgeshire District Council, who has a farming and business | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
background, has also I have a great deal of knowledge | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
of leadership, running a council successfully, | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
making sure that services are kept Also, I understand business, | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
I understand what it's East Cambs alone has had 12% | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
business growth in the last year. There's things I can bring | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
to the table that I don't think any And we found today Labour has short | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
listed its contenders. Fiona Onasanya, a Cambridgeshire | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
county councillor, and Kevin Price, The party will hold its | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
hustings next month. Despite opposing the new position | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
of mayor, the Lib Dems have also Ukip has no official hopeful | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
yet, the party said it won't be announcing | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
one until February. The only definite candidate | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
in Cambridgeshire businessmen Peter Daw, who will be standing | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
as an independent. So, at the moment, there's a lot | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
of manoeuvring for position, but the actual election | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
with the final candidates Well, a short time ago the leader | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
of Cambridgeshire County Council Steve Count came into the studio | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
and I asked him why he thought The reason I want to stand as | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
because I believe I have the right skill set to be there and do a good | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
job being there. I've been driving this for three years, I've jailed | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
boards and I now chair the shadow authority and I will be the chairman | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
of till May. -- chair. I looked at the skill set needed to make this | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
the right thing and I believe I hold those. But what would actually do? | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Irony involved in the decision-making and the | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
decision-making in this involves and touches on people's lives. -- I | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
would be involved. We would be looking at the money invested in a | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
housing, delivering the right places. ?600 million of | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
infrastructure with the need to prioritise and with the right | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
projects off as quickly as possible. I have been heavily involved with | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
governments, the city deals. Part of this is liaising with governments | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
and actually asking for more expansion on the panel is we need | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
and then something I want to move forward with. What is the biggest | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
priority in Cambridgeshire right now? And Peterborough? Housing and | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
infrastructure are the two biggest issues we have. Are you worried | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
about the turnout? At the moment, it doesn't seem to be excitingly public | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
very much. Potentially, you could be elected on a low turnout. One of my | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
jobs moving forward is to start engaging with the public. The | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
combined anthology actually have to go out and explain to the public | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
even more than it has today about why it's important to them. -- | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
authority. And why they should think about the mail. This booklet on | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
people's lives. -- mayor. What why do we need a mayor? Is this a good | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
use of taxpayer money? I believe it is. We have spoken the Government | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
and to get actually wind decision-making. With the mayor in | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
place the combined authority, we will be able to make decisions much | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
bigger than we ever have done before. That's one of the hold-ups | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
with why they are getting on with things, I think. This will certainly | :12:09. | :12:09. | |
help that. The Newmarket-based jockey | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
Freddy Tylicki has been moved out of hospital | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
to a specialist spinal unit. The 30-year-old fell | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
from his horse seven weeks ago. He's paralysed from the waist down | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
after a four-horse pile-up He is now at a specialist | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
clinic in Middlesex. The Hertfordshire police dog | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
who was stabbed while on duty earlier this year has caught | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
a suspect on his first PD Finn was on his first working | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
shift when he found the suspect hiding in a stable block | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
following a road traffic collision. Right, I'll be back at 10:25pm. Time | :12:39. | :12:51. | |
to hand you over to Stuart and Susie, Alex has the weather. Goodbye | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
for now. We're at the races in Chelmsford | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
as Great Leighs celebrates And the amazing voice of 14-year-old | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Breeze Redwine with her version As I'm sure you're aware | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
there are just two more shopping days until Christmas and tonight | :13:10. | :13:32. | |
is the last late night Of course, some people deliberately | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
leave their shopping until the very last moment, | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
hoping to pick up Our business correspondent | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Richard Bond is with shoppers Did you know that these days we do a | :13:44. | :14:02. | |
quarter of our Christmas shopping online, but actually it is now too | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
late to place orders that way with most retailers, so what can you do? | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
All you can do is shop in person which is what people here have the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
option to do tonight. Mike has been in Milton Keynes. Christmas Day now | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
just around the corner. Only two shopping days to go. As the UK's | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
largest single story shopping centre, this year pattern. Started | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
with Black Friday, the majority of online shopping takes place then, it | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
follows into December. We see significant increases and we expect | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
about 80% of shoppers to shop in the last two weeks of this month. Today, | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
long lines outside some shops. What they are calling here the man-. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Last-minute shopping by men. I have a list here. Take everything off and | :15:06. | :15:13. | |
then I can go home. Last-minute trip. 200 shops, one million square | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
feet. This year some retailers really busy. Sometimes you cannot | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
move in the store and this week it has been that way. Sales slowing | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
down for others. It has been unusual this year. Over the last eight | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
years, there has been steady growth. This year it has gone backwards. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
There are a lot of people about, however full four has been down. | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
More than 2 million shoppers are expected in the run-up to Christmas, | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
around 600,000 in the last week, 100,000 on Christmas eve alone. Have | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
you done most of the shopping online? Online. We are just getting | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
a view last bits now. Note online. -- loads online. I like looking | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
around, I love the atmosphere and the decorations. A perfect present | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
for retailers, a late surge in sales. In this centre, that would | :16:26. | :16:40. | |
make it a magical Christmas. Here, they monitor shopping numbers using | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
their cameras and last week, a year ago, there were 195,000 people here. | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
The same week this year, 208,000. Colin is general manager. More | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
shoppers, are they spending more? Definitely. All of the managers have | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
been very happy with Christmas this year. Our people deliberately | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
leaving their shop late in order to catch bargains? I think it is very | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
much a man thing. We all tend to leave it a little bit late. Many of | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
the ladies have been shopping early. Christmas this year probably started | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
in the middle of November and carried through. Christmas Eve for | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
the on a Saturday. What difference will that make? Last time this | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
happened was 2011 and then we had 45,000 visitors on that Saturday | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
alone. A lot of experts are predicting it will be panic | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
Saturday. Thank you. The message from shopping centres like this is | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
if you have not done your shopping for Christmas this year, get a move | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
on but there is still time. As you have probably seen, | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
the Queen and Prince Philip have arrived at Sandringham in Norfolk | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
for their Christmas break. They should have travelled | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
yesterday, but they both They travelled by helicopter | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
and landed this afternoon. I spoke to the BBC's royal | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
correspondent Peter Hunt and put it him that there'd been quite | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
a change of plan. Very much so. The plan yesterday was | :18:08. | :18:21. | |
that the train would take the strain but as the Palace later revealed, | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
they have heavy colds so they could not go on the train, then this | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
afternoon, a helicopter whisked them away from London to Norfolk and now | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
they can start their delayed Christmas break at Sandringham. Has | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
the Palace given any update on their health? No. Once they are talking | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
about the Private health of these elderly monarchs, they believe they | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
are entitled to protect some of the information about them. It was | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
earlier this week that the Queen announced she would be stepping down | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
from some of her charity roles. How significant was that? What was | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
significant was that it reminded us that she is a 90-year-old head of | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
state who does not intend to resign, abdicate and so something has to | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
happen to insure her workload is eased and so that is why she has | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
given up these patronage is and you see she has not done any long-haul | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
travel outside of Europe in five years, and when she does invest a | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
chirpy 111 more of those are done by Prince William and Prince Charles. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
What she will see is that she will continue to delegate some of her | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
duty is which she -- while she continues to reign. What more do we | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
know of her plans for Christmas at Sandringham? Christmas Day we will | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
be able to establish the nature of the recovery of the Queen and Prince | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Philip. The Queen is normally driven to church and Prince Philip, he | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
always tended to favour walking the short distance to the church. Thank | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
you. I'm sure lots of you | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
remember the Great Leighs It opened in a blaze of publicity | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
and closed soon after. It re-opened a couple of years ago | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
as the Chelmsford City Racecourse and now it's celebrating | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
it's second birthday. And business at the new all-weather | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
circuit is booming. It's had more than 250,000 | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
racegoers, lots of fixtures and prize money has also | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
been going up. Tom Williams has spent | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
the day at the races. What a difference two years can | :20:37. | :20:48. | |
make. Chelmsford city racecourse today in all its glory. Still | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
looking shiny and new and a festive feel for its final fixture of the | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
year on its second anniversary. We have raced 120 times since we | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
opened. We also trade seven days a week. Christmas parties have gone | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
fantastic and the investment, we have put a lot of money into this. | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
It is an independent West Coast. They have transformed the venue | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
which now makes money on no -- non-race days. In two years, over a | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
quarter of a million people have gone racing. We have ?100,000 in | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
prize money today. It is superb. We have a champion jockey here, all the | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
trainers, the big training centre is good, the best racing surface in the | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
world. It is quite buzzing today, really busy. Everyone seems in well | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
festive spirit. We are here for a good laugh. What a lovely day. Great | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
please closed in January in 2009. It went into administration less than a | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
year after launching. It was a sorry sight. I'm not but now cherished | :22:08. | :22:19. | |
again. It is improving all the time. One or two problems with the service | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
because it had been dormant for a long time. But they have done a | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
great lot of work on it and it is much better now. First race and a | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
winner for this year 's champion jockey and by some distance. Best | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
start in a new job so great to get a winner. The racecourse has only been | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
open for two years. What is it like? A good track. The prize money is | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
critically important. We attract competitive racing and good horses. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
They plan to build a new grandstand, grass track and on-site training | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
facilities to make Chelmsford not only one of the finest racecourses | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
in the country but in Europe also. Now the weather. If you are hoping | :23:10. | :23:28. | |
for a white Christmas, you will be disappointed. It will be | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
exceptionally mild and quite windy. Some cold weather today but | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
beautiful weather as well. A frosty start for many of us this morning. | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Quite chilly out there at the moment with clear skies across much of the | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
reason -- region. High-pressure does mean we will be in for another | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
chilly night tonight. Right overnight with long, clear spells. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Temperatures for many getting down to freezing. We are expecting a | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
force to form and these are the sorts of temperatures we will record | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
in towns and cities. A chilly start tomorrow. The big feature of | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
tomorrow's whether his storm Barbra, heading to the north of Scotland. | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
What it will mean for us is it will get increasingly windy but it is | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
expected to stay dry through the day with that Wayne arriving later on. | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
Mist and fog. These winds whipping up from the south-west, so by the | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
afternoon, these are our average wind speeds. As this rain band comes | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
through, and those winds pick up even more, it will be through the | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
evening very windy. We could record gusts of around 40 mph. That rain | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
clears and we are into a dry forecast for Christmas Eve and for | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Christmas Day, they get this push very mild air. We may set some | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
records for Christmas Day, but before then, Christmas eve is a | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
little chilly. Temperatures around eight Celsius and then into the | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
mid-teens for Christmas Day. He wins he is a little bit for Christmas Eve | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
but then pick up again for Christmas day. Next week some fine days and | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
cold nights. Tonight and tomorrow, | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
we're ending the programme Tomorrow, it's the choir | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
of Norwich Cathedral singing Ding Dong Merrily On High, | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
