Welcome to the programme. The headlines tonight: The sinister | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
role of social media being used to spread hate among street gangs. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Through these music videos and the tracks they are putting out, it is | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
fuelling yet even more. Feeling the strain, claims our | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
accident and emergency service will be under pressure due to a lack of | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
planning. If they do not get an appointment with the GP, they will | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
make use of A and B and that is inappropriate. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
The great Christmas get away, we will be live with the latest on the | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
roads. And a year to remember for the | :00:45. | :00:54. | |

local golfer crowned Young Sports Personality. | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
Welcome to the programme. Tonight: A call to ban internet music videos | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
which glamorise guns and violence. Urban street gangs in the West | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Midlands are accusing social media networks such as Facebook and | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
YouTube to spread a message of hate and conflict. One leading | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
campaigner who works to mediate between rival groups says the | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
authorities simply don't understand what the coded messages mean or how | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:35. | ||
dangerous they are. The music videos are plentiful, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
highly professional, the performers often talented but the lyrics are | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:49. | ||
about guns and turf wars on the streets of the West Midlands. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
of the Commons they make with regard to what comes can do and how | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
guns can be used against other people, they are not being | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
understood by the powers-that-be. Because they can put things like | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
this on YouTube, it makes it dangerous for committees. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Social media on the internet is prized by every organisation, even | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
gangs. The police have prosecuted some people when weapons have been | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
openly displayed but the chairman of the Police Authority does not | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
think censorship would work. there are criminal activities, the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
police will do with that but there is a whole issue of freedom of | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
expression, freedom of a heart and I feel those negative lyrics and | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
vibes are actually being committed by some very positive lyrics and | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
fads. The police say some 45 street gangs operate across the region | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
with 500 hardcore members. Gangs are about revenue, making money, | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
respect, power and prestige and revenge, violence and intimidation. | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
It has been 11 years since he got shot. White is so hard, I am just | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
trying to think why are they to come. Golden Child is a rapper. His | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
art reflects his friends and families lives. He is a performer | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
and wants nothing to do with gangs. They have been so many gang related | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
incidence and people need to realise that through these music | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
videos and these tracks that they are putting out, it is fuelling it | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
even more. Young people from across the region were invited to enter | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
the police headquarters to discuss how gangs affect their lives. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
can't be an normal civilian citizen in this country if you are a gang | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
member because you cannot walk through certain areas because | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
you'll get seen. I am not comfortable walking around my | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
neighbourhood at night mainly because of people that are just | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
standing around trying to cause trouble. Especially the area where | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
I live, you cannot get away from them. In the new year, a special | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
police task force is being set up to tackle gang crime and culture. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Peter Wilson joins us now. Can anything be done to ban these sorts | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
of films on the internet? Things have been taking of particular | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
sites, especially satellite channels in the past but that has | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
merely been when there has been explicit sexual content, not these | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
kinds of gang of messages. It is also interesting that the police | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
don't feel it is their job to police the internet as far as these | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
messages are concerned. I know the police have invested a lot of time | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
and energy into social media themselves, to put their own | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
messages across, and I think they are aware that they would face a | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
backlash from the computer literate public if they did take action like | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
this. You have met these gangs, why his music so important to them? | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
is incredibly powerful and attractive and glamorous two young | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
guys, especially on the streets of Birmingham and years ago, I sat | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
down with one particular group who were playing the attract colt no | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
more but at the same time, I was aware that the same song with | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
different lyrics, talking about taking up guns and attacking their | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
rivals, was also playing in the background. A lot of mixed messages | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
out there. Still to come on the programme: Why | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
it will be lonely this Christmas for record-breaker Mark, thousands | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
:05:43. | :05:43. | ||
of miles from friends and family. A teenager has been found dead in a | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
grain silo on a Shropshire farm. The body of the 18 year-old was | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
discovered on Wednesday night at Brockton near Much Wenlock. Police | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
say there's nothing suspicious about the death but the Health and | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Safety Executive will carry out an investigation. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Police have launched a murder inquiry after a woman was found | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
stabbed to death at an address in the Erdington area of Birmingham. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
It's thought the 52 year old was attacked during a domestic incident. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
A 65 year-old man was detained in connection with the woman's death | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
and remains in police custody. Not enough planning has gone into | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
providing GP cover over the Christmas week, according to the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
chairman of one GP consortium as the NHS enters its most pressured | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
period of the year. Peter Patel fears that the lack of cover could | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
:06:36. | :06:38. | ||
put more strain on accident and emergency departments. | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
It's the calm before the storm in accident and emergency. This 13 | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
month-old from Solihull has a temperature and a virus but she | :06:44. | :06:54. | |
:06:54. | :06:55. | ||
need not necessarily be here. there is a time when surgery is | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
closed, that is when we approach the hospital so it happened today, | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
we came at a time when our surgery was not open. That is what this GP | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
practices trying to avoid. It is opening a full day tomorrow on | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Christmas Eve and will open a full day next Wednesday but many GPs are | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
not. Dr Peter Patel believes not enough planning has been done and | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
notices on alternatives to A&E was sent out too late, 4:00pm on | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
December 21st. It should not be left to hospitals to take the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
burden of debt. We have seen this in the past, that out-of-hours | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
services and hospitals have been overwhelmed during this period. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Heartlands Hospital's A&E is the busiest in the West Midlands. It is | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
gearing up to treating 360 patients a day over the holiday. The | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
hospital is doing everything it can to treat more people coming in. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
There is a dedicated GP and the people can be referred to from | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
reception and it is an elderly person, there is a consultant on | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
standby to make sure they get help as quickly as possible This year is | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
potentially worse than ever because the holidays include two weekends. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
We prioritise patients on the basis of their clinical need but if a | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
patient could have access to a service elsewhere, that helps us on | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
focusing the patients who need to be cared for by us in the | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
department. The best medicine though could be mild weather that | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
keeps people well. Tonight the Birmingham and Solihull | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
NHS cluster said that it is well prepared and confident in its | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
winter planning. They said that opening GP surgeries over holiday | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
periods doesn't work and that out- of-hours GP services and NHS walk- | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
in centres have the means to increase their capacity if | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
necessary. Thousands of Midlanders have been heading home for their | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
Christmas breaks this evening by road, rail and air. For many it has | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
been the last working day before the festive break. Motoring | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
organisations say overall, things have run fairly smoothly. In a | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
moment we'll be getting the latest information on the situation and | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
the roads but first, how people have been coping with the last | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
minute dash. Busy but not unbearable, this was a | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
shopping centre this afternoon. There was still no shortage of | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
tills ringing as people went on the hunt for last-minute bargains and | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
presents. I think many people have already done the shopping. It has | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
been a gradual process this year rather than a just one mad rush at | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
the end. It is nice, a festive spirit, I like it. This really is | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
make or break for some traders and every day in the run-up to | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Christmas counts. At least though they haven't had to put up but the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
snow and ice that kept some shoppers at home this time last | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
year. Wind and rain made driving conditions difficult in some parts | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
of the Midlands but motoring organisations reported few problems. | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Many motorways were busy but quieter than anticipated. 40,000 | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
passengers are expected to fly from Birmingham airport this weekend. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Many spending Christmas in the sun like these holidaymakers bound for | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
the Canary Islands. We haven't got a family at home so it's just easy | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
for us to get away from it of and chill out abroad. Just get a bit of | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
sunshine and is uncertain. I cannot stand a cold here any more! | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
million passengers are expected to use the railways across the country | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
over the past period. Some disruption is expected from Boxing | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Day because of engineering works but travellers at the station | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
reported few problems today. Fairly busy but not horrendous. I left a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
message on the train and I had to go to crew to get it so it has been | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
busy. No problems, lovely. Despite some to make predictions, Christmas | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
appears to have got off to a smooth start for most travellers. | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
What has it been like on the roads today? Let's cross now to the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
headquarters in Quinton in Birmingham and speak to the manager | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:11. | ||
there. As we saw there, there have been heavy rain. Have the Rose been | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
busy to read? Surprisingly not, we were anticipating it would be quite | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
busy with it being the proper working day before Christmas. It | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
has not been too bad. We thought it would be far worse plus the weather | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
has not been great but it doesn't appear to have caused many problems. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Do you think this is the calm before the storm, people are | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
delaying their journey to Christmas Eve perhaps? Not necessarily, we | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
noticed a spike late last week so a Thursday and Friday and early this | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
week, which is when the the kids stopped school. Today was | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
relatively quiet, we are expecting there will be a spike tomorrow at | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
9:00am on the motorways and it will be busy inner-city centres at | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
midday. Today was predicted to be ex incredibly busy, any idea why it | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
was not? It could have something to do with the fact that school | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
holidays started a week ago, it looks as if people have been smart | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
and stagger their journeys slightly rather than making a mad dash for | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
the motorways in one go. People have been fairly well informed. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Our chances of having a white Christmas have gone but for | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Coventry explorer Mark Wood, snow is a certainty. He is now halfway | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
across the South Pole. He set off at the end of last month and he has | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
now covered 340 nautical miles. It is the first stage of his ambitious | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
bid to become the first person to cross both poles back to back | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
unsupported. For Mark, this Christmas will be spent entirely | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
alone, thousands of miles away from family and friends in the bleak but | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:56. | ||
beautiful landscape of one of the most hostile places on the planet. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
Here I am, finally in Antarctica. We are at base camp at the moment | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
and the temperature is around minus ten. At the start of his epic | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
journey and in good spirits. Since Mark Wood posted this video, he has | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
skied over 300 miles and endured the kind of isolation beyond most | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
people's imaginations. At home in Coventry, his partner Liz is | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
preparing for Christmas without him. I have lots of friends coming for | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
dinner and we will have a big roast turkey. Unfortunately for Mark, he | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
will have a routine so he will do what he does every day. It is a | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
good start, a good day. He will make his breakfast, get his water | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
boiled, pack up his tent and walk 15 miles and then treat himself to | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
an extra cup of tea in the evening. In fact, as the weekly phone call | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
reveals, he has already treated himself to an early Christmas | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
present. It is a fresh pair of socks and underwear. I think he | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
must be here now. He is more than halfway there but the journey has | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
not been without its difficulties. He has had to do running repairs to | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
his binding to make sure he can carry on because it is so important | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
that he can ski and not just walk. If you're one of those who have | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
been following his daily blog, you will know his feet are not in the | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
best shape. My feet are all cut up again but I am dealing with that | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
and I am screaming at night, putting iodine all over the winds | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
but that is just part and parcel, I am afraid, of this expedition will | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
stop Mark is doing all this to raise awareness of the state of our | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
planet. His page encourages people not to donate money but instead, to | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
go green. He knows there are so much support for him and speaking | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
to him today, he was in good spirits, you could hear from his | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
voice that he is in good spirits. Getting past but halfway mark is | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
really important or stop hopefully, the sledge will be lighter and it | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:13. | ||
will be easier. Bearing in mind more is going to have to tackle the | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
North Pole within weeks of conquering the south, socks I | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
suppose are not a bad idea this Christmas. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
If you want to check on his progress across Antarctica, go to | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
our Facebook age where there is a link to his blog which he is | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
updating daily. While we're talking about a white Christmas at the | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
South Pole, we are hardly likely to have Antarctic temperatures here? | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
What a difference a year makes! Find out what we had back in 2010 | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
compared to what we are going to get in 2011 a little later on. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
By the time new year's day rolls round, the Premier League will have | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
reached its halfway point. Which of our teams at the teacher's pet and | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
who are the dunces in the corner for a half-term report? | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
17 games in and our Premier League sides have alternated moments to | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
treasure and reasons to despair. Sitting pretty at the moment are | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Stoke City - 8th after 17 games and through to the knockout stages of | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
the Europa League. My chairman things it is one of the great years | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
in the history of the football club. He is in his mid-Seventies and the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
club is over hundred years old. There were eight at the moment | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
doing well at the League. We have a great tide coming up in February. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
If they can stay in the top 10, everyone will be very happy about | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
:16:51. | :16:55. | ||
what the club have achieved. places and three points behind them | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
are West Bromwich Albion. Inconsistencies may be, but look at | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
the points. Their New Year's resolution has to be to strive for | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
consistency. And then there's Aston Villa. What can you say. It's | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
rarely been boring off the pitch but the fans's big complaint is | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
that the football has been dull on it. I have to try and prove that I | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
am the right man for this job. I am still determined to do that. I'm | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
trying to win over the fans are still have their doubts. There's no | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
doubt though that Villa must do better in 2012. And that leaves the | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
enigma that is Wolves. Just a place and a point above the relegation | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
zone they've specialised in dramatic comebacks but too often | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
only to salvage a point. So how does the boss feel about the season | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
so far? I will let you will decide! There are only two winds now in 14 | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
games and that is the kind of thing but the fans are latching onto the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
moment. I still think there is a hard core of supporters that want | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
to see a change of manager. Am not sure they would get it. There's no | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
doubt improvement will be needed if they're to avoid another relegation | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
battle in 2012. And you can keep track of how your | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
club performs over the busy Christmas period by tuning in to | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
your BBC Local radio station. Golfer Lauren Taylor from | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Warwickshire says it is an honour to win the BBC's Young Sports | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
Personality of the Year award. She was crowned at the awards ceremony | :18:28. | :18:36. | |
in Salford last night but she's now back home in Rugby. What a moment | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
for Lauren last night. She is just 17 and she was thrust into the | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
national spotlight collecting the trophy from the Manchester City | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
manager Roberto Mancini and athlete Jessica Ennis. It was in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
recognition for becoming the youngest ever winner of the amateur | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
British Open but she still managed to compose herself to thank | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:07. | ||
everyone. 24 hours on, can you believe it? | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
it is still a bit of a shock but it was such an honour to receive that | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
award. How did you finish? I first thought was not to trip, to be | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
asked. I was so shocked, I didn't think I was going to win. I was a | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
habit. The night itself, there were three golfers in the top 10. Did | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
you meet them? Yes, I met all of them and I had a few photos with | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
them. Her fame is expanding already? I have a few more | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
followers on Twitter. What have you friends and family said? They are | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
beyond proud. My gran and gram pack came up earlier and my mum and dad | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
and sister are so proud of me. is the plan now? I'm going to | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
university next August in America and then after that, I am going to | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
look to turn professional. Plenty of great days ahead? A lovely time | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
of year for it to happen? Yes, it's a great Christmas present. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Christmas celebrations have started early and they will have an extra | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
trophy on the mantelpiece. Cast your mind back to this time | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
last year and it was quite a different weather picture to the | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
one we are experiencing at the moment. This was the scene at the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Worcester Warriors rugby club ground exactly 12 months ago. Sub- | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
zero temperatures and a blanket of snow and getting about wasn't easy | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
either with cars struggling along on the ice-bound roads. This year | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
it's more a case of wet-weather rather than a white build up to | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
:20:55. | :20:58. | ||
I can verify what you have just said that the facts and let the | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
pictures speak for themselves. On the we had no falling snow last | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
year, there was plenty of it lying around. The temperatures generally | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
:21:23. | :21:27. | ||
hovered around freezing weather might values way below zero. I | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
can't say it's going to be as cold as that tonight but it is going to | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :21:41. | ||
be a lot colder than it has been. You can see that banned right to | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
the east and the skies are going to clear right across the region but | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
it is the combination of that together with the north-westerly | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
wind that will send temperatures down to one Celsius in rural parts. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Some ground frost in sheltered spots and that may linger into the | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
morning tomorrow. Abacus and see it to start Christmas Eve but we have | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
some sunshine as well, particularly the further east you go. The odd | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
spot of rain to western parts to the north to end the day. Overall, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
a colder day than today with temperatures rising to seven or | :22:16. | :22:25. | |
eight Celsius. Through tomorrow night and into Christmas Day, the | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
went springs up and introduces a milder air. Tomorrow night, you can | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
see the impact already. Temperatures hardly altered from | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
tomorrow's daytime value at around six or seven Celsius. The Christmas | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
weekend is looking frosty to start, turning my and later with | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
strengthening winds. For Christmas Day, we have highs of 11 Celsius. | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
To that period, it will be largely cloudy but try and to break any | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
:23:08. | :23:11. | ||
records, we age -- need to reach Over the last couple of weeks, | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
thousands of BBC local radio listeners across the region have | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
been to the recording of a carol service. One of the biggest events | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
saw hundreds of people turn out in the Square in Shrewsbury 10 days | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
ago. Organised by Radio Shropshire and compered by breakfast show | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
presenter Eric Smith, it's always one of the highlights of the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
festive season in the town. If you couldn't make it go, don't worry. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
You can hear that service on air on BBC Radio Shropshire tomorrow | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
evening at 5:00pm. BBC Coventry and Warwickshire's service will also | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
air their service at 5pm tomorrow. BBC West Midlands will be | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
broadcasting their recording at 6:00pm. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
It's almost the end of our last main programme until January 3rd | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
but we will have bulletins throughout the Christmas period. It | :24:00. | :24:04. |
