Hello. Welcome Wednesday's Look North. A poignant warning from a

:00:05.:00:09.

young bride with breast cancer, who has just days to live. Please, if

:00:09.:00:12.

you do notice something, just get it checked. It will take half an

:00:12.:00:16.

hour at the doctor. Cut off from the outside world, how people

:00:16.:00:22.

without phone lines, for up to five weeks, fear lives could be at risk.

:00:22.:00:27.

It's an espresso, the car powered by coffee attempts a world speed

:00:27.:00:35.

record. Where is Henry, my great granddad? How Chatty Man, Alan Carr,

:00:35.:00:39.

uncovered his northern roots. In football, misery for Sunderland,

:00:39.:00:44.

but a win for Carlisle United. Our top basketball team goes for glory

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:59.

again, after its first season First tonight, a poignant warning

:00:59.:01:04.

from a young bride, who's been told she has just days to live, after

:01:04.:01:07.

being diagnosed with breast cancer - don't iing nort symptoms, if you

:01:07.:01:12.

think you might have the disease. Kelly Bainbridge-Flor is just 27

:01:12.:01:16.

and doctors initially believed she was too young to have breast cancer,

:01:16.:01:20.

but now it's spread to her brain. It's her dying wish that by telling

:01:20.:01:26.

her story, the lives of other women will be saved.

:01:27.:01:33.

It's a big day for Kelly from Sunderland. Just 27, she should

:01:34.:01:38.

have everything to live for. But she's been given just a week to

:01:38.:01:44.

live. Three years ago, while living in Portugal, she found a lump.

:01:44.:01:47.

Doctors initially thought she was too young to have breast cancer,

:01:47.:01:55.

but she did. Completely shocked. I accepted it pretty quickly, after

:01:55.:01:59.

speaking to my aunties and thinking at that point that I was going to

:01:59.:02:05.

be fine. It was 13cms in total. It felt not small, but medium. I

:02:05.:02:10.

thought oh, we'll just get this cut out, I'll be fine. Now it's spread

:02:10.:02:13.

to her brain and she has just days to live.

:02:13.:02:17.

Determined to make the most of her short life, when she heard she was

:02:17.:02:22.

going to die, she married her Portuguese boyfriend. Her father at

:02:22.:02:26.

her side. We were talking about getting married next May, when we

:02:26.:02:30.

got the diagnosis, I only had a week to live, we brought forward.

:02:30.:02:36.

Luckily that was two weeks ago, so survived an extra week. Although

:02:36.:02:40.

she's now unable to save her own life. She's determined to help save

:02:40.:02:46.

others and has this warning: If you feel something, and you know, even

:02:46.:02:53.

if it's tiny, whatever the size may be, this is my mistake, I refused

:02:53.:02:59.

to listen. When he said you haven't got cancer, I thought "Oh, great."

:02:59.:03:02.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK. It will

:03:02.:03:07.

affect one in eight women. And each year, 47,000 women are diagnosed

:03:07.:03:14.

with it. But Kelly's case is rare because 80% of those diagnosed are

:03:14.:03:19.

over 50. But more than ever before, women are surviving breast cancer,

:03:19.:03:23.

especially if they're diagnosed early. And they're the ones Kelly

:03:23.:03:27.

wants to reach. Please, if you do notice something, just get it

:03:27.:03:31.

checked. It will take half an hour at the doctor. Or if you're scared,

:03:31.:03:41.
:03:41.:03:44.

People living in one of the remotest parts of North Yorkshire

:03:44.:03:49.

say an unreliable phone service is putting their lives in danger. Some

:03:49.:03:53.

homes in Rosedale have had their phones cut off for up to five weeks.

:03:53.:03:57.

Others suffer constant noise on the line and intermittent interruptions.

:03:57.:04:04.

Peter Lugg joins us from there now, fortunately he has a satellite link.

:04:04.:04:07.

Rosedale is one of those Picture Post card areas of the country. I'm

:04:07.:04:11.

sure no-one around here would mind me saying tgz a bit of a

:04:11.:04:13.

communications black hole. We are right in the middle of the moors

:04:13.:04:17.

here. Now I can speak to you because of this lot up here on top

:04:17.:04:22.

of the truck. But if I take out my mobile phone, yeah no network

:04:22.:04:26.

coverage. If you think that's frustrating, what about having no

:04:26.:04:29.

land line? Spare a thought for some of these people I spoke to earlier

:04:29.:04:37.

in the day. Nestling in the moors north of Pickering, the Rosedale

:04:37.:04:42.

valley. At its head the scattering of properties that make up Rosedale

:04:42.:04:47.

east. School row, a terrace of 15 former miners cottages is where

:04:47.:04:52.

phone services are most problematic. Look North viewer Steve Martin's

:04:52.:04:55.

parents live here. The family would normally be in touch every couple

:04:55.:05:05.
:05:05.:05:06.

of days, but recently that's not been possible. Hello! Stephen sends

:05:06.:05:10.

his love. He says he's sorry to not get through for ten days.. That's

:05:10.:05:15.

right. This is the phone is it? That's the phone. The phone's been

:05:15.:05:19.

off for five weeks, more than just an inconvenience for vulnerable

:05:19.:05:24.

pensioners. If there was an emergency, we wouldn't be able to

:05:24.:05:34.

call the doctor. I'd have to get in the car and go and drive.

:05:34.:05:38.

presumably you're still paying your billles? Oh, yes, the bills have

:05:38.:05:42.

been deducted every month from our bank account. Mobiles? They work

:05:42.:05:46.

perfectly, so long as you're standing at the top of the bank

:05:46.:05:50.

there. E-mail, Broadband? Not a chance. No, the only communications

:05:50.:05:59.

that the Martins have is the village phone box, two miles away.

:05:59.:06:03.

And thankfully, that's still working. The unreliable phone

:06:03.:06:11.

service is most frustrating for those like guest house owner Colin

:06:11.:06:15.

Sample. It started off with all the crackling. You could hardly hear

:06:15.:06:18.

any conversation from people phoning in at all, nothing. Then

:06:18.:06:24.

we've got in touch with them through loads of friends. They

:06:24.:06:30.

contacted BT from daughters, sons, everywhere. They phoned into BT to

:06:30.:06:35.

tell them that our line was shattered, no go. The fault appears

:06:35.:06:40.

to lie either with the lines or with the local exchange. Either way,

:06:40.:06:46.

despite being told by BT that their case is a priority, while they pay

:06:46.:06:52.

their bills, subscribers' phone problems continue.

:06:52.:06:56.

So Peter, what have BT had to say about this? Have they got engineers

:06:56.:07:02.

working on it? Well, BT say they would like to apologise first to

:07:02.:07:04.

all those people particularly in Rosedale east who have been without

:07:04.:07:08.

services for so long. They have discovered what the problem is. It

:07:08.:07:14.

lies in an underground cable fault, which so far has involved four

:07:14.:07:17.

separate excavations. They hope and promise to have all services

:07:17.:07:24.

restored by the end of tomorrow. Thank you very much.

:07:24.:07:27.

Now there's been a big rise in unemployment in the north-east.

:07:27.:07:31.

It's up by 18,000 in the three months to July, more than 10% of

:07:31.:07:34.

people are currently without work, the highest rate in the UK. In

:07:34.:07:38.

Cumbria, the number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance rose

:07:38.:07:43.

by 233 last month. That's up to 8,729.

:07:43.:07:46.

A mother's hit out, after hospital staff failed to spot a piece of

:07:47.:07:51.

plastic, the size of a two pence piece, down her baby's throat.

:07:51.:07:56.

Vanessa Ramshaw rang 999 when nine -month-old Leo started choking at

:07:56.:08:00.

home. A doctor at South Tyneside District Hospital said he had

:08:01.:08:04.

tonsillitis and discharged him. Two hours later, she found the plastic

:08:04.:08:09.

and pull today out. They made me believe that he actually had

:08:09.:08:13.

tonsillitis. I really thought he did have that. They give us Nurofen

:08:13.:08:19.

and told us to dose him on that and paracetamol. That would have been

:08:19.:08:22.

giving my child stuff that he didn't even need. Had I put him to

:08:22.:08:28.

bed that night, I don't think I would have had him now. South

:08:28.:08:31.

Tyneside District Hospital said they were unaware of Miss Ramshaw's

:08:32.:08:35.

concerns and would be happy to discuss them with her. A spokesman

:08:35.:08:39.

said they weren't made aware that Leo may have swallowed anything and

:08:39.:08:47.

hoped he was making good progress. Two Tasers were fired at the

:08:47.:08:51.

fugitive gunman Raoul Moat. One missed an the other had no effect.

:08:51.:08:55.

That's what an inquest into Moat's death has been told this afternoon.

:08:55.:08:59.

It's day eight of the hearing at Newcastle Crown Court. Chris

:08:59.:09:03.

Stewart joins us from there now. Chris, we've waited a long time for

:09:03.:09:08.

this particular evidence. Yes, ever since that night in July last year,

:09:08.:09:12.

two Taser rounds were fired at Moat, and as you say, one officer has

:09:12.:09:18.

told us today that his missed. Another officer said his had no

:09:18.:09:22.

effect whatsoever. This Taser weapon not seen before in this

:09:22.:09:26.

country, a weapon both those officers said they were confident

:09:26.:09:29.

in using, despite having only a five-minute briefing on how it

:09:29.:09:34.

worked. When Raoul Moat was found after a

:09:34.:09:39.

huge man hunt, the plan was to take him alive. So on the river bank,

:09:39.:09:44.

where he was surrounded, negotiators tried to get him to

:09:44.:09:48.

give himself up. To help achieve that aim, the police had a new

:09:48.:09:54.

weapon, the X12 Taser shot gun, designed to deliver an electric

:09:54.:10:00.

shock via an X-rep projectile. The team who fired them that night had

:10:00.:10:05.

never used nor seen one before. Tango 21, the team leader told the

:10:05.:10:09.

Coroner today, "I did raise the issue that myself and the other

:10:09.:10:15.

four officers were not trained." The reply was, "You are shot gun

:10:15.:10:21.

trained and you are Taser trained." This is the scene the morning after,

:10:21.:10:27.

tango 21 and an officer with the Taser had been positioned by this

:10:27.:10:32.

car, about 15 metres from Moat. Hours earlier, in torrential rain,

:10:33.:10:37.

Moat was heard to say, "It's going to end in this field tonight." He

:10:37.:10:43.

then raised his gun to his head, tango 21 said one of the Tasers was

:10:43.:10:48.

then fired at Moat. "I became aware of a bang over to my left. Moat let

:10:48.:10:56.

out a yelp, as though he'd been struck by something. "A second

:10:56.:11:00.

Taser was fired but it missed. Moat shot himself then before officers

:11:00.:11:05.

rushed forward. And this is Moat's sawn-off shot

:11:05.:11:13.

gun lying in the rain-soaked grass. We already know that the X12 and X-

:11:13.:11:17.

rep were not licensed for use by the Home Office. The police say

:11:17.:11:20.

they did use it because it still represented their best chance of

:11:20.:11:26.

bringing moat in alive. -- Moat in alive.

:11:26.:11:29.

The Princess Royal's been touring the north-east today, with visits

:11:29.:11:32.

to Durham's county hall and Newcastle University. Hundreds

:11:32.:11:37.

lined the streets as Princess Anne started her tour in Stockton for

:11:37.:11:41.

the official opening for the George Hardwick Foundation carers centre.

:11:42.:11:44.

�500,000 has been spent on state- of-the-art facilities for carers

:11:44.:11:48.

and their families, with everything from a creche to a spa.

:11:49.:11:55.

You're watching Look North, still to come: The sports desk, plus, how

:11:55.:12:00.

comedian Alan Carr uncovered his northern roots for The Who who

:12:00.:12:04.

programme. And the forecast - the winds may be dying down but we

:12:04.:12:14.

could have a touch of frost in Last night, we featured the story

:12:14.:12:17.

of Gary Parkinson, the former Middlesbrough footballer who is

:12:17.:12:21.

battling to recover from a major stroke, that's left him paralysed.

:12:22.:12:25.

The condition known as locked in syndrome means he's awake, but

:12:25.:12:29.

can't move his body or speak. Tonight, we meet a woman who Gary's

:12:29.:12:33.

family say is their inspiration. Last year Kate Allatt defied

:12:33.:12:37.

medical opinion to make a full recovery from the condition. We

:12:37.:12:44.

mentioned her in yesterday's story. Kate was young, fit and healthy,

:12:44.:12:48.

when she collapsed at home. The next thing she remembers is being

:12:48.:12:53.

in a hospital bed three days later. I woke up with tubes and all sorts

:12:54.:13:00.

in my face, arms a nappy on. As I lay there, I thought I was checking

:13:00.:13:04.

my body and realised very quickly nothing moved. I tried to scream,

:13:04.:13:09.

nothing came out. Just trapped in my own body, helpless. Just eight

:13:09.:13:15.

months later, she amazed doctors by making a full recovery. She accepts

:13:15.:13:20.

every case of Locked In Syndrome is different, but she believes a

:13:20.:13:23.

mixture of early intensive therapy and a feeling of anger that her

:13:23.:13:28.

life was written off inspired her fight. I wanted to come back for my

:13:28.:13:32.

kids. They were only six, nine and 11 at the time. I didn't want to be

:13:32.:13:35.

in a nursing home shut away from them and seeing them once a week.

:13:35.:13:44.

It was that rage that fuelled my -- me, a rage that where "Damn you, I

:13:44.:13:49.

will be home. I'll prove you all bloody wrong." Kate has already

:13:50.:13:54.

visited Gary in hospital and says as a professional athlete he

:13:54.:13:59.

already has the strength and focus needed for the fight ahead.

:13:59.:14:03.

commitment from the medical team around him to really want to try

:14:03.:14:06.

everything to improve his situation. At the same time, though, I think

:14:06.:14:13.

he needs the emotional support and needs to carry him through to wroit

:14:13.:14:19.

a book, to write your memoirs, to coach from the sidelines, in the

:14:19.:14:27.

same way Matt Hanson does, or Christopher Reeves. A year after

:14:27.:14:33.

leaving hospital Kate has become an author and founded the charity

:14:33.:14:36.

Fighting Strokes to help families facing the same ordeal.

:14:36.:14:43.

Amazing story. Now the comedian, Alan Carr, has surprisingly strong

:14:43.:14:48.

links with the tonight. Tonight he discovers a whole new side to his

:14:48.:14:53.

family as the spotlight falls to him in the Who Do You Think You Are

:14:53.:15:00.

programme. I remember when I had to tell my

:15:00.:15:04.

dad that I wasn't going to become a footballer. Oh, my God. This is the

:15:04.:15:08.

Alan Carr we all know, splendidly over the top, a highly defined

:15:08.:15:13.

sense of the absurd, reduces interviewers to helpless giggles.

:15:13.:15:19.

He said "Why are you doing this to me?" I don't know. I can show you

:15:19.:15:24.

through expressive dance. Like so many people featured on the

:15:24.:15:27.

BBC's family tree show, he found there were parts of their history

:15:27.:15:32.

he knew very little or nothing about. The strange circumstances of

:15:32.:15:36.

the name change of great grandparents after an incident in

:15:36.:15:41.

the trenches. His family's involvement in a pit disaster and

:15:41.:15:45.

of course, football. Anyone who's seen his act knows about his dad's

:15:45.:15:49.

career in the game. Tonight Alan hears about another sportsman in

:15:49.:15:54.

the family, his granddad. Who better to ask than dad? Did you

:15:54.:16:00.

ever see granddad play? No, no. He went to West Brom, hoping for a

:16:00.:16:04.

better opportunity and he had a spell at West Brom where he had a

:16:04.:16:07.

knee injury and that finished him. Then it was back to the mines,

:16:07.:16:11.

which was the only thing to do in those days. He was there till he

:16:11.:16:18.

was 65. You're talking from 35 years in the pits. Who Do You Think

:16:18.:16:24.

You Are with Alan Carr tonight on BBC One at 9pm.

:16:24.:16:29.

Definitely watching that one. Now a car powered entirely by old coffee

:16:29.:16:34.

beans was involved in an attempt to break a land speed record today.

:16:34.:16:39.

The old Rover was modified by a team from Teesdale and sent out

:16:39.:16:49.

onto a track in York. Back at Elvington airfield, the

:16:49.:16:52.

coffee-powered car, the Carpaccino. It had a dry run in August. Today

:16:52.:16:58.

it's trying to break a land speed record. The record for vehicles

:16:58.:17:03.

powered by gassification, basically burnt waste. Dried pellets of

:17:03.:17:10.

coffee grounds power the car. The speed is impressive. 75. To satisfy

:17:10.:17:13.

the record books two runs up and down the track have to be logged

:17:13.:17:19.

and the average taken. A quick refill's needed. A quick burst of

:17:19.:17:23.

caffeine, this is the second pass Martin has to do to get the land

:17:23.:17:26.

speed record, only it's into the wind, so it's much more difficult.

:17:26.:17:31.

Sure enough, the wind slows him down, but it's still enough to

:17:31.:17:37.

clinch that record. 58-and-a- halfmph. I'm over the moon,

:17:37.:17:41.

obviously, it is fraught with problems, running a car on coffee,

:17:41.:17:46.

it's not the easiest thing in the world by any imagination. We've had

:17:46.:17:51.

some serious problems with this car. We bought a cheap, second-hand car.

:17:51.:17:56.

Cheap or not it wooped America's behind and it will now tour schools,

:17:56.:18:00.

teaching children there could be more to coffee than a drink in a

:18:00.:18:06.

cup. It's a headline writer's dream,

:18:06.:18:10.

that car. Can you imagine the things you could come out with.

:18:10.:18:16.

good to me, I hate coffee. I didn't know that. Tea-power would be all

:18:16.:18:21.

right. We start with football and we'll kick off with the news that

:18:21.:18:24.

Sunderland defender Phil Barnsley has been banned for four matches.

:18:24.:18:28.

The club decided not to challenge the Football Association charge of

:18:28.:18:31.

violent conduct for this incident in Saturday's game with Chelsea,

:18:31.:18:37.

when Barnsley appeared to stamp on the Spaniard Matter. Barnsley has

:18:37.:18:41.

been suspended this season after being sent off against Newcastle.

:18:41.:18:45.

Bad news for Sunderland, but good for Carlisle though. After four

:18:45.:18:48.

straight defeats they got back to winning ways in League One at tran

:18:48.:18:53.

peer last night. It took just three minutes for the Cumbrians to take

:18:53.:18:56.

the lead through Lee Miller. It's the first time they've scored in

:18:56.:19:01.

the first-of a game all season. Adam Collin pulled off a good save,

:19:01.:19:06.

but this is the second time they score. James Berrett stepping up to

:19:06.:19:10.

smack home the penalty. Rovers pulled a goal back in the second

:19:10.:19:15.

half. It looked like a foul here on the keeper. But Greg Abbott's side

:19:15.:19:20.

held on to take all three points. Now for the first time in six years,

:19:20.:19:24.

our most successful professional sports team is going into a new

:19:24.:19:28.

basketball season without a trophy to defend. The last 12 months have

:19:28.:19:32.

tested them to the limit on and off the court.

:19:32.:19:36.

Warming up against a USA select team for the first time in six

:19:36.:19:42.

years, the Eagles find themselves not defending a single trophy.

:19:42.:19:46.

They've been the most successful British basketball team. Last

:19:46.:19:50.

season they won nothing. We had won so much, there was an expectation

:19:50.:19:55.

to win. When you won it was almost relief rather than enjoyment. Then

:19:55.:19:58.

not winning was kind of, well, what's going on here. You didn't

:19:58.:20:02.

know what to feel. We'd not been through it for so long. It was a

:20:02.:20:10.

kind of emptiness. Emptiness too for Fab Flournoy. After almost

:20:10.:20:15.

dying from pneumonia he was forced to put into perspective. The fact

:20:15.:20:20.

he's on court at all is remarkable. I didn't consider retiring or

:20:21.:20:26.

finishing. It was whether or not my body was making that decision for

:20:26.:20:30.

me. I need the time to find out whether or not I can come back and

:20:30.:20:34.

into the final day of the season on 65 for two. Durham still hoping

they can win the championship. Warwickshire and Lancashire should

:21:47.:21:50.

both win their matches, which will leave Durham in third.

:21:50.:21:54.

Now the Countdown continues, to Sunday's Great North Run. Taking

:21:54.:21:59.

part for the first time this year is 17-year-old Mathew Loftus.

:21:59.:22:03.

Mathew's blind and raising money for a special youth club in

:22:19.:22:23.

feel fit enough to do it. I reckon I'll last it, just steady and it's

:22:24.:22:28.

for a good cause. I'm going to do it to get the money. Peter is

:22:37.:22:41.

Mathew trusts the people who he's selected as guides, to make sure he

:22:41.:22:46.

doesn't run into a lamppost or something else like that. And this

meeting their mates and hanging around. When you're blind or have a

:23:19.:23:23.

visual impairment, life is totally different. I've been a member here

:23:23.:23:27.

for over ten years. I thought it was time I started giving something

:23:27.:23:32.

back. I've done climbing, canoing, paintballing and if I hadn't have

:23:32.:23:40.

done them things I would never have done them by myself.

:23:40.:23:43.

Good luck Mathew. Before we leave the Great North Run, you might

:23:43.:23:49.

remember last night we told you about Tony Morrison from south

:23:49.:23:52.

Tyneside doing the run with a fridge strapped to his back.

say their chef Dave Taylor did that last year and is doing it again

:24:06.:24:10.

this year. But he's also pushing one of their day patients, Rebecca

:24:10.:24:15.

Parslow in her wheelchair. Anything you can do.... It's unbelievable!

:24:15.:24:21.

You'll be able to tell the two fridge men apart. I can't believe

it. Great North Run fever time, the build up, is it too early to ask

:24:26.:24:30.

about the weather? We have a bit of an idea. It's not looking bad for

Sunday at the moment. Some of the runners must have been worried this

week if they had to battle the winds. They are dying down. Sunday

winds. They are dying down. Sunday doesn't look bad at all. It's

:24:43.:24:47.

looking good at the moment. There is still time for it to change

:24:47.:24:50.

though. Talking of the winds, I've been keeping an eye on the gusts

:24:50.:24:57.

through this week. Loftus has been the windiest place. Monday the

:24:57.:25:01.

gusts were 70mph, yesterday 50-odd. Today dropping to 30-odd. They

:25:01.:25:05.

should drop out completely tomorrow. Likewise, the weather has gone from

:25:05.:25:13.

scenes like this at the normally calm water of Buttermere, there you

:25:13.:25:18.

a transition like this, beautiful with the rain bows to this, plenty

:25:18.:25:23.

of blue sky out and about around the region. The conkers blown off

:25:23.:25:27.

the trees there. If you like the blue sky and less of a breeze, then

:25:27.:25:30.

tomorrow is shaping up to be the best Dave your week. Tomorrow it's

:25:30.:25:34.

one to make the most of if you want to get out and about. Let's look at

:25:34.:25:37.

this evening then. The improvement is starting through the night. The

:25:37.:25:41.

cloud melting away to the south, taking any showers with it. Clear,

:25:41.:25:46.

dry skies overnight tonight and as the winds die down, more Autumn

:25:46.:25:51.

phenomena coming to the fore. You may get mist and fog patches with a

:25:51.:25:55.

light breeze overnight and maybe a touch of grass fost in rural places.

:25:55.:26:00.

In our major towns temperatures dipping to four or five Celsius. In

:26:00.:26:03.

rural areas a touch below that. There could be a touch of frost and

:26:03.:26:07.

if you have your tender plants out you may want to take them in

:26:07.:26:11.

tonight. A chilly start to the day tomorrow. But a broigt and crisp

:26:11.:26:14.

start. That sunshine coming through early in the day, lasting right the

:26:14.:26:18.

way through. A little bit of cloud creeping in around the north-east

:26:18.:26:22.

coast. But nothing to worry us tomorrow - dry, fine day and of

:26:22.:26:26.

course, barely a breath of air tomorrow. Very, very light breeze

:26:26.:26:29.

indeed. It all mean that's it's going to feel much warmer than it

:26:29.:26:34.

has done. Highs of 16 or 17 Celsius, without that strong wind. Feeling

:26:34.:26:36.

very pleasant if you're out and about tomorrow. Now through the

:26:36.:26:40.

rest of the week, Friday, you'll see it turns more unsettled.

:26:40.:26:43.

There's rain blowing in later in the day that. Stays for Saturday as

:26:43.:26:47.

well. Can you see the lines on the charts, crowding in again. Getting

:26:47.:26:50.

a little more breezy for Saturday. For Sunday, things start to calm

:26:50.:26:54.

down a bit. The low pull as way. Maybe the odd shower, particularly

:26:54.:26:58.

for north Northumberland but a fairly dry day for the Great North

:26:58.:27:02.

Run. Here's what I mean about a tail wind, it should be from the

:27:02.:27:06.

north or North West, it should help you on the way to South Shields,

foo you're running. -- if you're running.

A quick word about engineering word on the Pontop Pike transmitter.

We're told there could be disruption for viewers on the

fringes of that reception area. This is part of the plan for
