programme tonight: Easy pickings. The so-called | :00:07. | :00:11. | |

But can he unite the Terriers? just think he is a lead manager | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
through and through and white be welcome. He is a good choice, Leeds | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
United were wrong to sack him. And friend to the stars. The | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Scarborough man who's made it his life's work to collect the | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
autographs of the rich and famous. For all you youngsters, I have met | :00:48. | :00:54. | |

At a mild week to come across Yorkshire, will forecast coming | :00:58. | :01:06. | |
shortage. Good evening and welcome to Look | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
North. Tonight, the crime epidemic that's | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
sweeping Yorkshire. It's called lock-snapping and it's used by | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
criminals to break into homes. The technique was first developed in | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Bradford, but has quickly spread and now a quarter of all house | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
break-ins in West Yorkshire involve the technique. That's put West | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Yorkshire at the top of the league for the highest numbers of | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
burglaries in the entire country. In a moment, we'll be speaking to a | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
crime prevention expert who can help you protect your home, but | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
first Ian White has this. At a man breaks into a house in | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Leeds, using tools and a bit of know-how, he can snap the euro | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
cylinder lock on the front door to get in. Fortunately, this was not | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
for real, but a demonstration for the BBC's Inside Out programme. The | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
team discovered it took less than a minute. Very surprised how easy it | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
was. That seller no broke Copper so easy and so all I had to do was | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
take the mechanism that -- that cylinder broke off. There are | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
thousands a properties across Yorkshire that are fitted with | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
euro-cylinder locks. Burglars can easily snap them and get into | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
properties. It is a technique developed in Bradford but as | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
quickly spread across West Yorkshire, pushing up the county's | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
crime figures. Rebecca from Wodehouse knows what it is like to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
be burgled. She had no idea just how vulnerable the locks on her | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
door were and found out the hard way. A policeman came around this | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
morning and had a look at the lock. He's explained it was a more old- | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
fashioned type of Loch and he recommended we had the new style of | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
lock put in. A we are on a very typical street here, aren't we? | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
we are and 80% of the doors are you PVC, which at the vulnerable euro | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
cylinder lock, which is very easily accessed by a burglar, which can | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
gain access to the locking system. We have actually upgraded the | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
luckier. The burglar will know that, because they will identify the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
high-security cell under to what is a basic cylinder. The police and | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
crime -- crime-prevention colleagues are now aiming to raise | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
standards on locks. They should make life tougher for the burglars. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Chris Adams is a crime prevention expert from the CASAC organisation, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
which works with West Yorkshire Police in Leeds. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Why is this a West Yorkshire problem? It originated in Bradford, | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
as mentioned on the report, and one of the problems with the locks is | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
they can be snapped. I have brought in some examples of the vulnerable | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
kind of locks. What kind of price of we talking about that you buy | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
these for? These can range from anything above the 75p and they are | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
fitted on... So people could have spent a lot of money on their doors, | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
but they find themselves with a very cheap lock, which is the cause | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
of this problem? That is right. What we do at CASAC is a free | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
security assessment and people living in West Yorkshire can | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Corless -- call us and we can go out and supply a completely free, | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
no obligation assessment to check if they have this kind of locks. | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
if you were to buy a decent lock, what would it cost? We fit ones | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
that are �75 for the first lock and there are 50 panned for any extra | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
locks. Bath �50. We have worked with a local manufacturer to | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
develop one to withstand the kind of attacks we are seeing. This is a | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
snap lock, this is what can happen to the cheap cylinder locks. And it | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
is very easy to do. I won't show you but it is very easy. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
industry standards have got to help in some shape or form. We always | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
asked about the kind of locks we have on our home. Will they now ask | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
for different kinds? The we hope so. We are working with West Yorkshire | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Police de develop new standards to eradicate these vulnerable kind of | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
locks -- to develop. Hopefully when that his plays, we will see | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
burglary dropping. So your advice will be for everybody to have a | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
quick look at their locks and contact them expert? People are | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
welcome to give us a call or visit the website and, at CASAC, for a | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
load of information and we will do a free assessment. Thank you for | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
joining us. On Inside Out later, you can see | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
just how easy it is to break into a home which is secured using the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
euro cylinder locks. That's Inside Out tonight on BBC One at 7:30pm. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Friends and teachers of the murdered school girl Casey Kearney | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
have remembered her at a special assembly this morning. The 13-year- | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
old was stabbed at a park in Doncaster last week. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
This morning saw her classmates return to McAuley Catholic High | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
School, after the half-term break. Her head teacher said she will be | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
missed by everyone. Tom Ingall reports. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
They returned from a holiday is like no other. And undoubtedly | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
difficult day for everyone at McAuley Catholic High School as | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
they went back to lessons without their friend, 13-year-old Casey | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Kearney. There has been essential - - special assembly, with prayers | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
being said for the popular girl and her family and friends. In a | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
statement, the head teacher fact everybody who has offered sympathy | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
for all of the students, staff and a whole community. Casey was on her | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
way to meet a friend at the Doncaster Park last Tuesday when | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
she was fatally stabbed. A 26-year- old woman has already been charged | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
with her murder. The police investigation continues, as do | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
their efforts to reassure the community. I think the community is | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
still in shock. It was completely unprovoked, random and tragic. The | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
death of any child is tragic, but the circumstances were particularly | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
poignant. We are working closely to try and make it as bearable as | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
possible for the children. Some of the cards and Tributes left in the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
park have now been removed, to be displayed at Casey's funeral, | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
although there is no date yet set. Hare class mates are also being | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
offered support and counselling. -- her classmates. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Later on Look North: a we are making a splash. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
I am here at the test event at the Olympic aquatic Centre, West | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
Yorkshire's 2012 Olympic hopefuls are taking part in this week's | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
World Cup. Two weeks ago, Simon Grayson was | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
manager of Leeds United. Then he was sacked by Ken Bates. A few days | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
ago, Lee Clark was manager of Huddersfield Town. He was dismissed | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
on Valentine's night by chairman Dean Hoyle. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
So today comes the news that Simon Grayson is to be Huddersfield's new | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
boss. A whirlwind time especially with Neil Warnock now at Leeds. I | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
can't remember a time quite like this. Ian Bucknall is at the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Galpharm for us. Indeed, it is another week and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
another managerial change in Yorkshire football. We heard | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
yesterday that the bookmakers were no longer taking bets on Simon | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Grayson taking over at the Galpharm. That was a big clue and it has been | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
confirmed today that he is the new manager at Huddersfield Town. That | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
is hot on the heels of him losing his job at Leeds United, and on | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Saturday, they confirmed that Neil Warnock is their new manager. He | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
arrived at Elland Road and was mobbed by photographers and fans. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
We understand he got stuck straight into his job at Leeds United. They | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
work two 2-0 down against Doncaster Rovers and we understand he went | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
into the changing room at half-time and spoke to the players and a | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
much-improved performance saw them go on to win the game. There was a | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
time when we thought it might be a straight swap between Huddersfield | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
and Leeds United for their managers and Lee Clark might get the job at | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Leeds United. That half of the equation didn't work out but we did | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
find out today that Simon Grayson has got the job at Huddersfield | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Town. Out of a job one minute and back in | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
one the next. That seems to be the case with Simon Grayson, who was | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
sacked by Leeds United three weeks ago but is now lined up to take | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
over at Huddersfield Town. The Terriers are desperate for | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
promotion from League One. Defeat at home to rival Sheffield United | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
last week left them trailing in the promotion race and manager Lee | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
Clark was sacked. Simon Grayson will be expected to get them back | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
on track. But when we spoke to Huddersfield fans yesterday, they | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
had mixed feelings about taking on a manager so strongly associated | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
with their West Yorkshire rivals Leeds United. I think he is a Leeds | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
United manager through and through, and he would be welcome. I don't | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
really want him. -- he won't be welcome. He didn't improve the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
defence at Leeds United. He is a good choice, I think Leeds United | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
were wrong to sack him. They have been selling all of their star | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
players and he did a very good job. He didn't get the full support from | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
the chairman, but Dean Hoyle will give him the support. Simon Grayson | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
has twice led teams into the Championship from League One. His | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
first club blackball and then Leeds United. All of those that | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Huddersfield Town will hope he can make it a hat-trick at their club - | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
- Blackpool. Is that the end of it all can we | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
expect more? -- or can we. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
You wouldn't bet they're being bad bet against there being other | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
managerial changes in Yorkshire. It seems to me that what happens at | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
this stage of the season is that chairman see it has one last throw | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
of the dice. Neither Huddersfield Town or Leeds United were failing | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
massively in what they were doing, they were just a little bit behind | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
their targets. Huddersfield are not in an automatic promotion spot, | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Leeds United not in a play-off spot in the Championship. The chairman | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
see this as one last push, one final go -- Chair men. They hope | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
that changing the manager will push Betty a man and Baghdad slight bit | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
of difference that could make the huge difference at the end of the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
season. More news from around Yorkshire and | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
police have been called in to investigate fraud claims that the | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Sheffield-based company A4e. The firm runs part of the Government's | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
work programme which aims to get long-term unemployed people into | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
jobs. It says the issue involves a small number of ex employees and | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
was reported to the police by the company itself. Back row company | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
was recently criticised by MPs for paying its directors handsomely -- | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
A4e. All in all, it doesn't look good -- good value for money and | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
when we learned last week that there may be evidence of fraud, I | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
think that the Baby P ought to seriously consider suspending his | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
Education bosses in York have begun talks to close one of the city's | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
secondary schools. Burnholme Community College has recently | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
celebrated its best ever GCSE results, but falling pupil numbers | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
means the school is now being forced to consider a phased closure. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
A public consultation will take place in the coming weeks. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
Sheffield's bin men could be going on strike. They say they've not had | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
a pay rise for three years. But the company that employs them, Veolia | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Environmental Services, has been given inflation related pay | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
increases by the Council. Veolia says the wages it pays bin men are | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
agreed on a national level. Negotiations to try to avoid a | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
strike will be going on all week. Obviously, the work force are | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
incensed. The return on the ballot to shows that. Whilst your employer | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
has been refusing to talk about pay, at the same time, they have been | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
seen their profits increase, and that is not acceptable on a public | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
sector service, whether it is delivered in house or outsourced. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
A campaign's been launched to ask the Government to give back the VAT | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Yorkshire's air ambulances have to pay on fuel, something that would | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
save them thousands of pounds every year. European Union rules don't | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
allow the tax to be waived, even though the air ambulances are run | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
as charities and make no charges. Our political editor Len Tingle | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
reports. Two launches of life-saving | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
emergency vehicles in Yorkshire, both entirely funded by charitable | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
donations or public fund-raising without a penny from the government | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
might. Just one of them has to pay VAT on the huge amounts of fuel | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
used every time they set out to save lives. Under European Union | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
rules, Yorkshire's two air ambulances have to pay 5% VAT on | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
the �10,000 worth of fuel they use every month, but another EU role | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
says that tractable emergency vehicles working at sea, in other | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
words like birds, can be tax exempt. This is the sort of muddle that the | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
EU gets itself into. We are not asking them to change their rules, | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
but we are asking to give the VAT back to the air ambulance. This man | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
has laid down a motion in Parliament. He wants the Government | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
might have a reimburse VAT. An e- petition has been launched, calling | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
for a House of Commons debate. have been saving all the | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Government's four successive years millions of pounds. And I believe | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
they should be able to give them back by way of a grant of the VAT | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
for. The e-petitioned is really taking off. 1,000 people a day have | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
been signing on. 100,000 are required to trigger a debate by MPs. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Before seven o'clock: Star struck. We meet the | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
Scarborough man who's made it his mission to collect celebrities' | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:32. | ||
Let's move on to the sport, now, and leaving aside the managerial | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
merry-go-round, there was plenty of other football action this weekend. | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
Harry has been taking a look. Poor Smith arrived at the Reds in | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
the red, so it should have come as no surprise as one of their players | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
saw red. They had been punished for going into administration and | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
Barnsley rubbed salt in the wind. They scored to make it 1-0, then | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
again, in injury time. Minus 13 points for Pompey. | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Normally when you talk of a soft penalty, and that was, it is a | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
criticism of the referee. Normally. Sheffield United made up for the | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
mess with goal number 20 of the season by this man. Goal 21 was the | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
opposite. Get him. From short range. They are now five points clear of | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:50. | ||
the other teams. Come here, give us The strikers could not find the | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
back of the net until the distance was reduced to 12 yards. Dean | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
Morgan scored the only goal of the game. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Rotherham hostel in with a chance of a play-off spot but they need to | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
be polishing of opposition like Burton Albion. Instead, they drew | :17:12. | :17:21. | |
thanks to a scrappy goal. After worrying about relegation for | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
most of the season, Bradford City are marching towards mid-table | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
obscurity with a prayer of grateful thanks thanks to Kyle Reid. He | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
scored two goals. Harry tells me that it was probably | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
one of the greatest ever performances by the Rhinos to | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
become the World Champions on Friday. By defeating Manly from | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Australia, they also gave a great boost to the game as a whole in | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
this country because now we know, the Aussies can be beaten. Journey | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
has now is one of the star players, Dan Maguire. Have you come down to | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
earth? -- joining us now.. We had a nice celebration. And when you put | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
in a performance like that, you should enjoy it. It was a great | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
effort by all of us on Friday. We were thrilled to come off we were | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
there a trophy. Was that one of the highlights for you, beating the | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
Aussies? It was a massive game, Tekori the world champions, it is a | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
big feeling. We played the top team in Australia. To get a victory over | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
them was a great performance by all the lads. We have seen a couple of | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
tries there. I have to turn round and say that when I look at the | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
atmosphere there, it must have helped you. The 21,000 fanatical | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
supporters. It was unbelievable. Previous World Cup challengers have | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
been at Elland Road, would have been fantastic, but to have it at | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
our Field, with fans roaring a son, they were like the extra man for us. | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
It was a great atmosphere and we are thrilled with the results. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
wonder, when you look back on things, I say it was one of the | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
best performances, and my being over-the-top? Or was it what you | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
needed to beat them? Our forwards were outstanding. Jamie Peacock was | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
at standing for. Everybody fronted up and it was one of those games | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
where you needed 17 men on top form, and we all played really well. The | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
other team travel 12,000 miles, but East will have to perform, which | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
read it. Your coach must be well pleased because he has had a topsy- | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
turvy time. A lot of people were questioning whether or not he | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
should be the coach at one point, but what a nine months he has had. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
In the middle of last season, we were struggling. We were struggling | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
in the league, and a lot of people were writing us off. But we took | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
the Super League Trophy, and then we got the chance to play in the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
World Club Championship. And we performed well on Friday. Well done. | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
And you can get more on that victory for Leeds Rhinos and the | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
rest of the Super League action on tonight's Super League Show with | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
Tanya at 11:35pm on BBC One. There are few things more | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
challenging... No, terrifying than going to the top of a diving board | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
and looking down. That was enough for me. But when you watch what | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
some of our Yorkshire divers do when they get up there, it is | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
astonishing. A lot of our divers are taking part in the first ever | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
competition to be staged at the Olympic Aquatic Centre and Shamir | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :21:00. | ||
Masri is there now on day two of This week's competition at the | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
Olympic Aquatic Centre is the test events for the Olympics venue. And | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
a last chance for countries to secure places at this summer's | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
games. Britain's top drivers are in competition for this World Cup | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
event, including names like Tom Daley. More than half of Britain's | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
competitors here have travelled down from Yorkshire. Including many | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
cladding, who continues her recovery after hitting her head on | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
a concrete platform during a died last year. It has been a tough year. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
It has been a struggle to come back, but it is fantastic for me. Stacey | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
and I have got bosoms but for Great Britain. That was the main job. | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
Really good. Diving in front of a home crowd, I have never done that | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
well. Earlier on, Sheffield's Nick Robinson Baker and Chris Mears took | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
to the boards for the three metres super light competition and | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
qualified for tonight's final, finishing 10th out of a possible 12 | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
places. We want to go in there, enjoy it, soak it in and put a good | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
performance in, and then we will be happy. Anything can happen. This is | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
our audition for the Olympics. The hard part has been done, we have | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
got through to the final. Now we need to smash it. This pair will | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
compete in the three-metre synchronised final from 7pm this | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
evening and had to give Team GB fans the practice at cheering the | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
successes of our athletes. Incredible. | :22:43. | :22:43. | |
The competition continuing throughout the evening and we'll | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
have the latest on our divers in our late programme at 10:25pm. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Most of us will admit to asking someone for an autograph at some | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
point. The first ever autograph I got was Bonnie Langford at the | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
Alhambra in Bradford. David Essex soon followed. I really fancied him. | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
Mind was... Let me give you a clue. Eric Morecambe. Did you do that to | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
him? No. Well, for one man in Scarborough, it has been something | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
of a life's work. Paul Bradley now has an astonishing collection of | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
over 6,000 signatures and pictures, some of which have been published | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
in a new book. We all have photo albums but none | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
like these. Paul Bradley is in nearly every shot. And so are some | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
of the most famous people on the planet. Sadly, we lost Amy | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
Winehouse. Four or youngsters out there, I have met me at Flight, | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
Alexandria Burke, Diana because. I am working through my pop star | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
collection, Paul Anka, Frank Sinatra, one of the big names. | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
Bradley has managed to get pictures and autographs with people that | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
most people would never dream of meeting. Here we have an autograph | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
with Russell Crowe. I have a photo with him as well. I met him on his | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
film set in Piccadilly Circus. has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
autism and his condition has driven his collection. There are more than | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
6,000 pictures. And he remembers every single one. The bodyguard | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
said, I am sorry, you cannot approach Steven Spielberg like that. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
But then I gave them a full explanation, I apologised for my | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
haste in us, and he just patted me on the shoulder and said, don't | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
worry. As anybody who has worked with him, he puts you at ease, and | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
he chatted with me, he let me have a photograph, and an autograph, and | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
it was one of the most memorable things I have done in my entire | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
autograph Korea forced to part of this remarkable collection has now | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
been collected itself into a but. If it succeeds, may be poor will | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
get a taste of fame and fortune. -- maybe Paul Bradley will get a taste | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
of fame and fortune. Some of those are amazing. Paul | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
McCartney, Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise... Not one mention of any | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Look North presenters. It is the way it should be. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
I never thought I would say this, but you have got a bigger tan than | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:45. | ||
Let me show you some pictures. Both fabulous shots. Keep the pictures | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
coming in. You can e-mail or tweaked them to me. It is going to | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
be a mild week. Temperatures might get up to about 15. In the short | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
term, we are looking at variable cloud. Feeling milder. A broad run | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:16. | ||
out of West to south-westerly winds but. This winds coming up from the | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
tropics. Coming up, patch outbreaks of rain over the top of the | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
Pennines. Bits and pieces further East, but basically, I think any | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
rain further East will Thistle and will confer a -- and will become | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
confined to the Pennines. It will be frost-free with temperatures as | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
:26:49. | :26:54. | ||
low as five. The sun rises and sets. A bit damp and drizzle over the top | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
of the Pennines. The odd spot of rain elsewhere otherwise it is dry | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
and rather cloudy. It should brighten up with sunny intervals | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
coming through, especially for areas to the East of York. | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Temperatures up to 11. That is a big improvement on today. We have | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
only had six in places. I think everywhere, a milder feel to the | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
weather. That extended outlook, some rain to come on Wednesday, | :27:23. | :27:32. | |
should be dry and bright. 14 or 15 on Thursday. | :27:32. | :27:39. |
