around. Good evening. Detectives are | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
tonight investigating whether there is a link between a spate of ram | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
raids in Kent in which 4x4 vehicles and diggers have been used to smash | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
and grab cash machines. In the third in recent times, a cash | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
machine near Sittingbourne was raided. | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
The wreckage left behind after two 4x4 vehicles were used to ram the | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Co-op and take the cash machine. The first thing I heard was the | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
loud crash. When I looked out to the four-wheel drive pulling | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
forward, positioning itself a bit better and then taking another | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
whack, shortly followed by several more. Then a man came out and jump | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
inside the shop and then they went up the road with the cash machine. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
This is the third such raid in a week in north Kent. Last Wednesday, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
robbers used a digger to take a cash machine from Waitrose in | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
Ashford. On Saturday, the least disturbed robbers trying to take an | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
ATM from a bank using a JCB digger been another town. And today's | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
attack in Newing sin. Two 4x4 vehicles were also used on a | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
cashpoint rate in September. Police are now looking at whether they are | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
all connected. They are extraordinary incidents, where | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
machines have been bricked from the walls of buildings, so yes, there | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
are similarities, but there are also differences. I am not saying | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
it is these same people who have committed all three defences but we | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
will keep an open mind and we will follow every single lead that we | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
have and do so ruthlessly. The cash machine taken from here was dumped | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
in a nearby field and the two 4x4 vehicles used have also been | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
recovered. With over 2000 ATM machines in their county, Kent | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Police say they are working with banks to boost security, as well as | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
farmers and the construction industry to make sure that vehicles | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
that could be used in raids are kept securely locked away. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
We can join our reporter live. We understand this latest raid was | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
well-planned? It does look that way, because trees had been felt at | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
either end of this road, blocking off access. Police believe it was | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
done to try to hamper their efforts to get here to stop the thieves. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Detectives are looking through CCTV pictures taken here to try to Dean | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
any more information about what happened and identify those | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
responsible. This evening, the shop remains boarded up and closed and | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
:04:17. | :04:17. | ||
in custody three men are arrested on suspicion of burglary. A Kent | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
woman has sold her house and moved into a mobile home to pay for more | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
than �30,000 worth of cosmetic surgery. Jayne Fenney from Hoo, who | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
was 21 stone, had shed half her weight but was left with excess | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
skin all over her body. She says the only option to regain her | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
confidence was to pay to go under the knife, and she insists she has | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
no regrets. She has swapped bricks and mortar | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
for this mobile home and the body she always wanted. Jayne Fenney | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
started dieting after her weight reached 21 stone. She got down to | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
17 before paying to have a gastric and fitted. Her weight dropped to | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
ten-and-a-half stone but she was left with excessive skin that left | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
her unhappy and lacking in confidence. Until she sold her home | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
to meet the bill for surgery. over the moon. I cannot get over | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
how different my confidence is. I have so much confidence now. My | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
life is completely different. Live for today. You do not know how long | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
you are going to be here and it is all right having bricks and mortar | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
and money, but you could work for all that and not live to see the | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
end result and struggle and scrimped and saved to pay a | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
mortgage. The initial gastric and cost �5,000. She spent �14,000 on a | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
body lift, then two further operations at a cost of �16,000. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Ten years ago we very rarely saw this and victory in the last five | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
years, I have been to the States to see how my colleagues tackle the | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
problem, and it has multiplied. In my own practice, it has gone to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
about five or six patients a year. But throughout the NHS and other | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
areas, it has blossomed. But the funding is the problem. Jayne | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
insists she has no regrets about selling her house, along this | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
street. She said it is something she had to do to regain her | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
confidence. She was turned down for surgery on the NHS even though she | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
said her excess skin was affecting her relationships. She insists this | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
was not just a vanity project. cannot deal with that. That is why | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
I thought about having the surgery. After a lot of thought and | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
discussions I went ahead and did it. As Jayne tries to make her new | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
mobile home homely, the NHS said, at a time of acute pressure on NHS | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
budgets, the removal of reaching skin is not reaching the available | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
In a moment, the MP and the candidate he unseated go into | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
battle again, this time in the libel courts. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
A man has described been left traumatised after he woke to find | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
his larger trying to slash his throat with a serrated knife. 62 | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
year-old Iain Gillies was rushed to hospital as the wounds were so deep | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
they exposed his neck vertebrae. His attacker, Aaron Coco Smith from | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Tunbridge Wells has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
:07:30. | :07:32. | ||
admitting attempted murder. He was pressing the knife into my | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
neck. He had both sides of the knife. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Describing the moment he found his blood jet trying to kill him after | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
he has already attacked his house mate. -- he's the larger. I thought, | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
he is going to kill me. Suddenly, he decided to leave. I do not know | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
why. I lay there, screaming, help, call the police! In a few minutes | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
the police arrived and they got me to hospital just in time. The | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
hospital told me another ten or 15 minutes and I would have died from | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
:08:22. | :08:28. | ||
loss of blood. Kent Police told us Following a five-day search, police | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
eventually found 35-year-old Aaron Coco Smith hiding in a tent on | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Tunbridge Wells Common. Maidstone Crown Court heard how he had a | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
string of previous convictions and was well known to police. He was | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
sentenced to 12 years in prison. sometimes think, I pity there is | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
not a death penalty any more but I want him to suffer, to rot in jail | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
and regret every day what he did. 62-year-old Iain Gillies remained | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
in hospital for three weeks. He still says he has no idea what | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
motivated the attack but it is a traumatic experience he will never | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
forget. There is usually no love lost between political opponents, | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
especially during the run-up to a general election. But comments made | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
in Eastbourne during last year's campaign has resulted in the town's | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
MP attempting to sue his successor at the High Court. The Liberal | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Democrat MP Stephen Lloyd is accused by the Conservative Nigel | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Waterson, who lost his seat last year, of conducting a defamatory | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
and misleading its near campaign against him. Mr Lloyd's legal team | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
say he was entitled to express his honest opinion. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
The former Conservative MP for Eastbourne sieving his Liberal | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Democrat successor for words he wrote about him during last year's | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
general election campaign. Stephen Lloyd and an assistant published | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
campaign leaflets styled like a local newspaper in which they | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
described the rival ASDA and expenses scandal MP. The leaflets | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
were delivered to 40,000 homes. Today the Royal Courts of Justice | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
were told that the leaflets were misleading and defamatory because | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
the former MP had been completely exonerated by a series of | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
investigations. But Mr Lloyd's team argued that it was, in their honest | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
opinion, scandalous that taxpayers have paid mortgage interest | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
payments on Mr Waters and's second home, even though this was normal | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
practice and permitted by parliamentary rules. The judge | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
decided to delay his judgment on whether the case should proceed. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
further comment today. The judge has heard all that we need to say | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
and has reserved judgment. Until that time, we will make no further | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
comment. Mr Waters and lost his seat at the | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
general election to Mr Lloyd with a 4% swing from Conservatives took | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
the Liberal Democrats. He says he does not wish to challenge the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
result that simply vindicate his reputation. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Our reporter is that the High Court. What happens next? Today the judge | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
heard from both parties, as he tries to work out whether to hear | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
this case himself, dismiss it or taking to a grit jury trial. Nigel | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
Waterson steam say his reputation was badly damaged by misleading and | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
defamatory statements and Stephen Dodd's team said they were unhappy | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
with the expenses that he was claiming while he was an MP and | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
that while there was nothing improper about him doing that they | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
feel they should be entitled to express their honestly held opinion. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Thank you. A man has been released on bail after a dog was dragged | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
behind a car for more than six miles. | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
The duck died. -- the... Diet. The 33 year-old handed himself in after | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the border collie cross was seen tied to a Porsche as it drove from | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Devil's Dyke to a lay-by on the A 27 just past the Southwick Tunnel. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Police described to the animal's injuries as horrific. Mental health | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
inspectors have found major concerns at a hospital in Hove | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
after they found suicidal patients were put in rooms where they could | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
hang themselves. The Care Quality Commission inspected Mill View | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Hospital earlier this month. The Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Trust has been given 28 days to respond. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
�3 million has been granted from the Heritage Lottery Fund to help | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
restore the old roller-coaster and rides at Dreamland in Margate. It | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
brings the total money granted for the restoration to �10.7 million. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Thanet District Council will first have to carry out a compulsory | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
purchase of the derelict site. A final decision is expected to be | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
made by the Secretary of State early next year. Turner | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Contemporary has exceeded expectations. It has received | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
double the visitors expected so we believe Dreamland can do the same | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
and together they can make a real difference to Margate. | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
The Immigration Minister and Ashford MP has been defending his | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
role in the controversy over the relaxing of border controls this | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
summer. Mr Green, who was giving evidence to a committee of MPs, | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
denied the Home Office's handling of the situation had been chaotic. | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
It follows the recent resignation of the former head of the UK border | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
force, Brodie Clark, who claimed he did not relax immigration beyond a | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
:13:28. | :13:29. | ||
pilot scheme authorised by the Home Secretary. I do not think it was | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
chaotic at all. What seemed to have happened was that very relevant | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
information was withheld from ministers and it appears to have | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
been happening for a period of time. Our political editor was watching | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
the committee and joins us now live from Westminster. Damian Green's | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
evidence backs that of the Home Secretary, doesn't it, BET placing | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
the blame on UK border staff? He said never had the former board | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
as chief, Brodie Clark, mention to him the fact that there was a | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
relaxation of checks on un-European immigrants -- and non-European | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
immigrants. It appeared in the mission had been withheld. Earlier | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
I caught up with MP Mark Reckless, who is a member of the Home Affairs | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Select Committee, to get his opinion. I think Damian Green gave | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
a very sure footed performers to the parliamentary committee. I | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
think it is clear that ministers did not know key facts they should | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
have been given but it is still not clear quite which officials were | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
responsible and what happened. If ministers want to move on, it | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
really is important that they brought all the key documents into | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
the public domain. It has been a couple of weeks that have been | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
difficult for Damian Green. I think he is much safer tonight. He and | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
the Home Secretary, because their evidence concurs and seems to | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
disagree with that of officials at the board agency. But it takes the | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
focus of the fact that the pilot scheme seemed to be working quite | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
effectively. Damian Green called again today for more intelligence | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
led border controls. Our top story tonight: Detectives | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
are tonight investigating whether there is a link between a spate of | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
ram raids on cash machines in Kent. In the latest, the third in a week, | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
robbers rammed a shop in Newington near Sittingbourne with a JCB | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
digger. Also in tonight's's programme: | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
The Man Who Never Was - how a Folkestone writer uncovered the | :15:33. | :15:43. | |

a cake maker in the top tear. How a Sussex woman turned redundancy into | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :16:05. | ||
an opportunity to start an award But many people are still facing | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
exhausting journeys for treatment because planned radiotherapy | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
centres simply have not been built in Sussex yet. 11 years ago, the | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
Labour government raised the issue, but BBC South East has discovered | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
that the new centre that is planned for Eastbourne is unlikely to be | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
built before 2014, and that will only happen if the money can be | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
found. John Young has been investigating. | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
The physical reality of radiotherapy is shocking, but the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
logistics can be daunting, too, because unlike other treatments, it | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
is needed five days a week, week after week. For Claire Mosley, that | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
meant a daily three hour round trip through country lanes. Sheikh axed | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
a paramedic friend for advice on the Richter. It is very tiring. I | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
was lucky because I had very good friends willing to take me to and | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
from Maidstone. I took myself a couple of times a week but if I had | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
not had those friends or had not had a car or had to rely on public | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
transport, I do not know how I would have done it. It would have | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
been an absolute nightmare. Government guidelines suggest a | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
journey of 45 minutes is reasonable, but a patient living in, say, | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Bexhill, travelling to Brighton, faces a journey of possibly an hour | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
and a half. It is no better if they have to go to Maidstone. Hence the | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
attraction of a centre in his book, less than 40 minutes away and a bad | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
day. In Kent, some patients in the Thanet have a trip of at least an | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
hour to Maidstone. The plans for a new centre in his ball are now on | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
paper. They have been discussed for the last four years. It would mean | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
halving the Geri times for 2000 patients but there is still a long | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
way to go. It is a long and complicated process to build this | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
and get the money. At the moment we are developing the business case. | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
We do not have the full document. We do not have planning permission | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
and we do not have the money. sounds like it might not happen at | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
all? We are all working very hard to try to ensure that it does. | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
Distance is not the only problem facing cancer patients. There is | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
the expense. Recent research suggests the cost of fuel alone | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
travelling from Bexhill to Maidstone is more than 1,200 pounds | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
and to brighten his is not much less. Things are now looking good | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
for Claire and her family. She is not the only one hoping that things | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
will be easier for the next generation, though. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
Our reporter is like in Hastings. 2007 was the first date we heard | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
there. Why has it been such a long time getting the go-ahead for this | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
new cancer centre? It is an NHS bureaucratic nightmare. You have | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
two different trusts working together. You have some quite | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
dangerous buildings. �1 million of concrete alone for a radiotherapy | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
centre makes planning very difficult and you have the issue of | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
the finance. Until recently these things were raised by private | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
finance initiatives. Those are no longer politically in his favour. | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
That makes the funding complicated. One piece of good news perhaps is | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
the Department of Health have pointed out there is some funding | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
available to help people with current transport costs, but I | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
think that is little consolation. I think 2014 is looking a little | :19:23. | :19:32. | |
optimistic. My Father Was The Man Who Never Was | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
- it is the cryptic title of a new biography by Folkestone author | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Nicholas Reed. He has uncovered the colourful life of his father who | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
told him late in life about his exploits in MI5. Strangest of all | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
was his involvement in the story of the Man Who Never Was. A dead body | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
carrying fake secret documents fooled the Germans into believing | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
the allies would invade Greece, a deception which shortened World War | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:12. | ||
It is one of the most peculiar stories of World War II. How a dead | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
body floated on to a Spanish beach and deceived the German high | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
command into believing the allies would invade Greece and not Sicily | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
in 1943. The Germans have massively reinforced Sicily so we thought, | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
let's try to persuade them we are going to invade Greece and Sardinia. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
The best way to do it was to land the body of a man, give him a | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
complete identity as a marine, carrying a private letter from | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Admiral at -- Admiral Lord batten about high Sicily was just a cover | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
plan and we were really going to invade Greece. We commend the salt | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
the story, which sounds more fiction than fact, the cane -- | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
became a 1960s film. The book reveals how Nicholas's father, | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
Ronnie, featured on the identity papers. They tried taking a picture | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
of the dead body but it was just today, it was impossible. The man | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
who thought this all up positive meeting and he realised that my | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
father could be the twin brother of the corpse and that is why on the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
identity card of the Man Who Never Was, it is my father's face who | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
appears. Ronnie Reed was recruited to MI5 while working as a BBC | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
engineers. They said, I want you to go on an assignment that will last | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
about three weeks. I said, where is this? They said, bat. In this | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
interview, recorded with his son shortly before he died, he inspired | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
the book, telling of his treatment with double agents. It was only I | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
think at the very end of his life when he felt all the records were | :22:03. | :22:12. | |
going to come out. He is talking about 50 years ago and trawler that | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
was saved now. The face of the Man Who Never Was, a true spy story. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
One of the South East's most successful galleries has managed to | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
buy two important works by British artist John Piper, thanks to the | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
generosity of its visitors. The Towner Gallery in Eastbourne | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
launched an appeal to buy the works which demonstrate the artist's love | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
of the Sussex landscape. Grants from various bodies, including the | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Art Fund, were added to donations from visitors to pay for the | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
�85,000 paintings. Gillingham will be hoping to make | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
it through to second round of the FA Cup this evening with victory | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :23:01. | ||
over League One form. -- League 1 Bournemouth. The Gills will be | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
without a lone strikers Frank Nouble and Jo Kuffour for the game | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
but are keen to progress in the competition. If you can have a run | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
in the FA Cup, it might free up a bit of money at the right time, the | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
January transfer window, and you could get a couple of fresh faces. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
For a successful business you need good turnover and no half-baked | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
ideas. For Jo Stevens her new business has become a cottage | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
industry. She was made redundant two years ago but it allowed her to | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
concentrate on her passion and now she has been named as the best new | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
wedding cake design of the year. From the construction industry to | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
creating award-winning cakes, it is a career path that Jo Stevens never | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
thought was possible, until she was made redundant. It was a difficult | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
time, returning back to work after having children, and I was looking | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
to go back to work and I was lucky enough that my husband spotted the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
cake decorating classes and he was the one that said, if you love | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
doing it, give it a go. Like millions of others, Jo was inspired | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
by Kent-based celebrity chef Paul Hollywood, whose great British | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
bake-off has encouraged a resurgent in cake baking. Never has pastry | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
been so scrutinised. It is quite tough puff pastry. Now Jo devoted | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
all her spare time to what has become a real cottage industry. | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
:24:46. | :24:46. | ||
Some of the cakes I have done eight hours off detail on a cake. I made | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
a watch and it was all made out of piping and icing. It is nice to be | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
involved with somebody's special day. When somebody gets married the | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
wedding cake is such a big part of the day. Jo's favourite cake is her | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
wonky wedding cake which has to be cut out exactly 36 degrees and has | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
-- takes a week to make. Her next goal is to open her own shop. | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
You can do that, can't she? What, eat cake? | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:33. | ||
Make cake! All this talk of cake! You can | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
probably describe tonight's the weather as being a bit like a | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
pudding, perhaps a baked Alaska. Once you have devoured the Prydie | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
layer on the outside, all you are left with is the icy bite on the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
inside. At the moment we have the rain, the mist, the Merc, the fog, | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
the tide. Later on, from about midnight, when the cold front has | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
moved on, that is where we will get his icy kick at the end, with | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
temperatures are coming down close to freezing and some of us having | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
to scrape the windscreen in the morning. Quite a difference in the | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
temperature to what we have at the moment. Speaking of the rain from | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
the weather front, it has kept up a bit in the moment and an area of | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
low pressure high up in the atmosphere has engaged with his | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
area and some of the showers are heavier than they were earlier but | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
they will be gone in the next two hours. Some places may be from | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
midnight will get clear skies. Mist and fog in places as well because | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
of the cooler temperatures. Temperatures are currently about 11 | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
or 12 so a huge drop in temperature by the end of the night and some of | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
us will see frost on the ground and on windscreens. Tomorrow morning | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
will be a much colder start than this morning but we will have the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
sunshine. It will last all day long apart from a few mist and fog | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
patches in the morning. Just a beautiful day with temperatures up | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
to 11 or 12 degrees. Tomorrow evening a game, we will see the | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
frost returned. Temperatures dipping down to two or three | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
degrees. After that, the wind and Clive will be increasing. Not quite | :27:20. | :27:25. |
