from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
offers after the Christmas power cuts. We live at a village that is | :00:07. | :00:30. | |
still not back to normal. Also in tonight's programme, the baby boy | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
that needed brain surgery because of constant epileptic attacks back home | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
and bouncing. Going underground, how the tunnels of Ramsgate soon could | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
be reopened. Only about 10% of my stuff is about being based on being | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Asian. All right? The other 90% is based on my issues with white | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
people. They don't teach that in class. We | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
meet the maths teacher who sought school for stand`up. `` swapped | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
school for stand`up. Good evening. Children as young as | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
13 have been used as meals to carry class A drugs from London for sale | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
in the streets of Kent. Detectives say they are increasingly | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
concerned that criminal gangs based in the capital as spreading further | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
afield to try to avoid arrest. Our home affairs reporter joins us from | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Chatham now. How much of the county to police say this is affecting? | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
It is affecting the whole of Kent. It is happening because big criminal | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
gangs in the capital are wanting to extend their drugs networks. They | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
often use young people and teenagers to transport substances for them. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Tonight, Kent Police say they are keeping close tabs on criminal gangs | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
that they know to be living nearby. Police! There has been a police | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
crackdown in London to break up criminal gangs, so many are heading | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
to Kent. They are using children as young as 13 to transport substances | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
like crack retain `` cocaine, heroin and cannabis. Your Mac young people | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
are becoming involved because the age profile of gangs are getting | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
younger. There used to transport commodities to different locations. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
They don't look like drug users and don't look dependent on drugs, and | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
we identify these people quickly enter with them through the criminal | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
justice system, or put them through the social care they need. The | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
majority of grounds are travelling from London. Police say over the | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
last five years, drug use have been getting younger and younger. Over | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
the summer, a big operation in the Medway area led to the arrest of ten | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
young people. In recent months, Kent Police has carried out a series of | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
drugs raids alongside the Metropolitan Police. Back in August, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
they discovered this, Britain's biggest ever cannabis factory, in a | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
former officer Bob. Now the force is stepping up its efforts still stop | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
children selling drugs in socially deprived parts of the county. Young | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
people who don't take drugs themselves are used by criminals to | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
transport drugs, because that is the highest risk part of the drug deal. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
The dealer can off`load that risk to younger and cheaper members of | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
staff, and can do so. 4`mac London gang member believes small people | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
are becoming involved with the drug scene. They are given drugs, alcohol | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
and cigarettes. It is on the increase. Kent Police say they are | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
closely monitoring gangs know to then to crackdown on drug deals. The | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
local force has now teamed up with Metropolitan Police here performing | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
joint operations. They have made a number of arrests in recent months, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
particularly of young people. In light of this trend, there has been | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
a new role introduced at Kent Police, a gangs liaison officer. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
They give very much. Home owners and businesses across | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
the south`east have reacted angrily to the compensation they have been | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
offered following their power cuts at Christmas. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
UK Power Networks say those that without power on Christmas Day will | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
receive at least ?75. If they were without a connection for some two | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
hours, they will receive ?109. For each further 12 hour period, they | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
will get another ?54. That speak to our environment correspondent in | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Sevenoaks. They say this is nothing out of pocket? This is one of many | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
premises that were hit by the power cuts over Christmas. Pubs and | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
restaurants perhaps some of the worst affected when it comes to loss | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
of income, and suddenly, here, they believe the compensation payments | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
being offered by UK Power Networks are derisory. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
It became a cold and dark Christmas when storms brought down cable | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
lines. The south`east worst hit by the power failures. UK Power | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Networks admitted letting down its customers, and some are still not | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
satisfied by the offer of compensation. Like this man who runs | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
this pub. The problem with the last stop is in here, where we have seven | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
fridges and freezers. All of the stock in here had to be thrown away, | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
which is around ?1000 worth. Everything has been replaced in | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
here, and it was somewhere in the region of ?500 just enough freezer. | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
The pub was out `` was without power for 68 hours. But does your own | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
insurance cover you? We insurance which does cover me for loss of | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
business through a utilities failure. I have a ?450 excess on | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
that, so ?450 excess is the problem. I will still be ?450 out of pocket | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
after the claim. An offer of ?170 for conversation does not cover | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
that. Campaigners say people who have been badly inconvenienced | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
should consider legal action rather than except the compensation being | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
offered. My reaction is that it is not enough, and I think it is being | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
presented in a way that makes it look as if people are obliged to | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
accept it, and they have no choice. I don't think that is the case. In | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Kent, almost 17,000 people woke up on Christmas Day without power. In | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Surrey, the figure was more than 10,000, while in Sussex, more than | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
four and a half thousand people were affected. It was a total of 31,900 | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
people in the south`east. Although power to the plate and | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
nearby villages is now on, much of the area is still being served only | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
by generator. Ministers are now undertaking a review into the | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
response to the power cuts, which affected 750,000 people over the | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Christmas period. Three generators are still powering | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
this area, and have been since Boxing Day. UK Power Networks have | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
been around working today. There were hoping to get everyone back on | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
the mains by the end of today, but now that won't happen until over the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
weekend. UK Power Networks say people will be compensated above the | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
standard rate, and people are now filling out those compensation | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
forms. Thank you. Later in the programme, | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
we will find out how people in Yalding are coping after the floods. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
In a moment, why the 100`year`old diary of vacant schoolgirl is | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
fascinating readers on the Internet. `` they cant schoolgirl. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
His parents call him day miracle baby, and with good reason. Shortly | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
after Finlay Ritchie was born, doctors realised he was having up to | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
100 epileptic seizures a day. Despite being so small, it was | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
decided pioneering brain surgery was his best hope of survival. Nearly | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
nine months on, he is making a miracle recovery. We have met his | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
family. Finlay is a much loved and loving | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
little boy who now has a future. He needed brain surgery when he was | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
just 19 weeks old to Kuwait is constant seizures. He would have up | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
to 100, perhaps more seizures a day, 24 hours a day, day and night. | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
A good day, we would get down to about 30 seizures. It was like | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
losing their fighting things. It was horrible. What was happening? Finlay | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
had this condition, which caused the left side of his brain to develop | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
abnormally. It caused sudden bursts of electrical `` political activity | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
which were making him cry and check uncontrollably. Surgeons | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
disconnected one half of his brain from the other server seizures could | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
not spread. There was a strong risk he could be paralysed on his right | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
side. We know that surgery will have some impact. You can't disconnect | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
after brain without some impact, and that would be we expect weakness on | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
the right side of the body. We know that will happen. We know that will | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
happen anyway. Finlay has made an extraordinary recovery following | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
operation and the seizures have gone. Move back he is not supposed | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
to be kicking his right leg, that he can eat a lot his fingers now. Uses | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
hand. He's not supposed to be elder to do that. We were told he couldn't | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
do it, but it can. You described him as a miracle baby. He is. He is a | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
product of our miraculous NHS system, which he would not be here | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
without. The family are particularly grateful to the Eastbourne District | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
General Hospital and consultant John Mitchell. It was the speedy | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
diagnosis and care Finlay received here that helped lead to the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
successful operation in London. Finlay has lost some of his site. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
You may develop weakness in his right hand side, but there is no | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
reason he cannot lead a very normal life. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
In other news, the trial of a former soldier accused of murdering a | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
democratic Republic of Congo has been postponed after he was admitted | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
to hospital. Joshua French, who grew up in Margate, had already been | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
sentenced to death for killing a man. He is now on trial accused of | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
murdering his best friend and cell`mate. His new trial date is set | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
for January the 21st. This Sussex NHS Trust is treated in | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
of this fit with patients from the end of this month. The majority of | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Wales will no longer be prepared on`site at the Conquest Hospital in | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Hastings, but will be supplied by an outside caterer and reheated. The | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
East Sussex health care trust will provide a wider range of meals to | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
its patients. Earlier, we heard how people in the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
south`east are fighting for bigger compensation pay`outs following the | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
power cuts they suffered at the Christmas. Many others are facing | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
huge financial losses because of the flooding. The village of Yalding in | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Kent was badly hit. We have been finding out how people | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
there are now crippling. Yalding on a crisp, dry, winter day. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
The three rivers which meet here are beautiful in summer but potentially | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
lethal at times of flood. This Christmas was worse than anyone can | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
remember. I went to see two people who became friends as a result of | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
that day. Dave struggled out of his own flooded home to riches can do | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
and his neighbours. I was paddling as hard as I could, and the currents | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
were joking me into the vehicles themselves. You can't appreciate | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
it. David went past and we decided we needed to get out of here. To | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
stabilise it, we wedged the canoe in the gate. Getting the canoe was not | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
easy. Down the street, the insurance assessor had arrived to see June. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
June and her husband run the village post office. Christmas is now a | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
muddy tangle of furniture and ruined food. My best present was a tin of | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
biscuits from one of the customers at the post office. That was my best | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
present. Some days you are fine, others you to talk to anyone. It is | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
overwhelming. Across at the post office, Tim and his customers will | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
be sharing flood memories for a good while yet. Villagers are also | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
showing their appreciation of the kindness that is getting them | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
through it. People have gotten closer since this happened. It is a | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
very close village and everyone does know most people anyway, because it | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
is a good community spirit. Very much so. We're still going after the | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
aftermath. It is tough. There will be more tough times ahead, but that | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
community spirit will enable villagers to weather this storm and | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
those yet to come. There's a special programme tonight | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
counting the cost of more than a month of bad weather: Battered | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Britain: Storms, Tides and Floods is on at 7.30pm, here on BBC One. Our | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
top story: Children as young as 13 are being used as mules to carry | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
class A drugs from London for sale on the streets of Kent. | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
Detectives say they're increasingly concerned that criminal gangs based | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
in the capital are spreading further afield to try to find new markets | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
and avoid arrest. Also in tonight's programme: you genuinely have been | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
adequate. Well, what else would a former | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
schoolteacher say? We meet the maths master with a much larger classroom | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
these days. Great news for the weekend, Saturday | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
looks dry and bright, rain on Sunday, but mostly decent. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
The Port of Ramsgate was on the front line of German bombing raids | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
during the Blitz, but countless lives were saved because people | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
there were able to shelter in a network of tunnels, which created a | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
makeshift underground town. Those tunnels have been shut for the last | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
75 years, but there are now plans to open them to the public this summer. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Natalie Graham has been taking a look for tonight's special report. | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
Saturday, August 24, 1940 was a day that is etched on the memory of many | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
who lived in Ramsgate. 500 bombs were dropped in five minutes. Over | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
1000 homes were destroyed, but only 28 people died. The others had | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
escaped underground to a network of tunnels. The geology allowed a plan | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
to build 2.5 miles of tunnels around the town which would link up with | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
this former railway tunnel. The mayor of Ramsgate took up the | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
cause. He was known as the mad mayor. He pushed this project for | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
the tunnels really hard. That first attack became known as | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
the murder rate. After that, hundreds stayed in the tunnels and | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
made homes there. Marjorie Woodward was 17 and training to be a teacher. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
She wrote an assignment about the families who lived there. Some | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
people went down there for various reasons, they couldn't live in their | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
home, that they didn't like... That they were frightened. They would not | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
want to go out of the tunnels, . The makeshift town was made in disused | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
railway line. People took chairs and beds down. There wasn't much | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
privacy, so partitions were put up. One family created a full home. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Soon, the tunnels of Ramsgate became global news. Famous people came to | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
visit, just to see what it was about. Perhaps the most famous was | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Winston Churchill. He was told by the mayor to put his cigar out | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
before he entered as there was no soaking. He was put in his place. | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
The tunnels provided shelter for 26,000 people. If all goes to plan, | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
today's residents of the town will be able to visit them when they open | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
to the public in the summer. That was Natalie Graham reporting | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
from Ramsgate, and you can hear some remarkable anecdotes from people who | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
actually lived in the tunnels during World War Two on Inside Out at | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
7.30pm on Monday, here on BBC One. Imagine the scene: 100 years ago, a | :17:21. | :17:33. | |
16`year`old girl is excitedly setting off on a journey from | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Margate to start a new school in Paris. Fortunately for us, Olive | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
Higgins kept a diary. Within eight weeks, though, Olive | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
had died suddenly while in France, but a century later her entries have | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
fascinated a journalist who's turned them into the twenty`first century's | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
answer to a diary, a blog. Charlie Rose has been leafing through. | :17:53. | :18:07. | |
Snow, very thick between Margate and Dover. At first, he didn't pay much | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
attention to this diary given to him by a friend who collects | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
bric`a`brac. Inside, he found an old slip of paper. And Olive Higgs's | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
story became an obsession. Reading the report for the funeral | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
captivated me as I learnt that she was buried in Brockley Cemetery. It | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
is the exact symmetry that I looked upon when I was a little boy. There | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
was that geographical connection. It blew my mind. She lived in Margate | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
in the early 1900s. A premier holiday destination where hell | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
wealthy father on the unique and exclusive Hydro hotel. It had | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
various bars. `` it had various Baths. The Hydro housed people from | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
55 conferences one year. Thomas Higgins was a man ahead of his time | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
and in 1914, he sent her to school in Paris. Back in those days, France | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
seemed a far`away place and a lonely one for a 16`year`old who struggled | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
with the language. Aweful model with luggage. It breaks your heart | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
hearing what she went through. Then you realise the diary stops and from | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
my research, I found she fell ill and was ill for 12 days. There was a | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
huge panic from her father in England, he managed to get his | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
friend who was a doctor to the Royal family in England to go to Paris | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
with him to attend to her and this went on for many days. But they | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
could not save her. The diary only last six weeks, but Rob has spent | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
more than a decade painstaking research in her life. His book | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
remains unfinished, so for now he has set up an online blog to allow | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
Olive Higgs to speak for herself. A poignant story there. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Onto football, and there has been more transfer activity at Brighton | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
and Hove Albion today. The Seagulls have sold striker Ashley Barnes to | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
promotion rivals Burnley. Barnes will be best remembered for scoring | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
the goal which guaranteed the Albion promotion to the Championship. But | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Tottenham Hotspur striker Jonathan Obika has joined on loan, after | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
impressing Brighton's assistant manager, Nathan Jones. | :20:35. | :20:47. | |
Nathan told me about him. He knows him from his time at Yeovil and | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
Charlton. He's a good finisher, he is young, he wants to prove himself. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Elsewhere Charlton play their first game since their recent takeover. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
The Addicks face the Championship's bottom club Barnsley at the Valley. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
In League One, Gillingham travel to Colchester United, while on Sunday | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Crawley are at Coventry with Matt Tubbs likely to play his first game | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
since his return to the club. An impressive innings of 68 from the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Sussex player. Arran Brindle rescued England's Women on the opening day | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
of their Ashes Test Match against Australia in Perth. The England | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
team, which features four players from the South East, were dismissed | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
for 201, but the Sussex wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor's catch in the last | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
over of the day helped reduce Australia to nine for two in reply. | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
They look pretty happy. Kent's winter sports star, Lizzy | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Yarnold, will be confident of continuing her brilliant season this | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
weekend in Switzerland. The 25`year`old from West Kingsdown, who | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
currently leads the Skeleton World Cup standings, is hoping to improve | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
on her performance at last year's World Championships in St Moritz, | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
where she narrowly missed out on a medal. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
Most of us can remember a favourite teacher who knew how to make the | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
class laugh. But Romesh Ranganathan can top the lot. He's given up his | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
career as a teacher in Three Bridges to become a professional stand`up | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
comedian and he's winning critical acclaim for his performances on tour | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
and on TV. Juliette Parkin joins us now from Brighton and, Juliette, | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
Romesh is on stage there tonight? Yes, he told me he is very excited | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
to be back here. He started coming here as a customer, then started | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
coming here as a hobby and now he is carving out a career for himself in | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
comedy and he seems to be doing pretty well. The first subject is | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
education. One year ago, he ditched the classroom. I used to be a | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
teacher. I was a maths teacher, not a very good one. It doesn't matter. | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
You can get away with it for quite a while. | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
It was difficult. I did not dislike teaching. It was not that I was | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
doing something horrible that I could not stand. I enjoyed it. It | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
was great. Since making his debut, he has quickly made a name for | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
himself. Very excited to be here. I got the | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
phone call and they said, high, wonder if you'd be up for doing Life | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
At The Apollo. My wife, it is upsetting for her, as she said she'd | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
never seen me as excited about anything before. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Only 10% of my stuff is based on mediation. All right? `` Asian. The | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
other 90% is my issues with white people. The gags have not always | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
gone down well. I did a TV spot and I said that I come from a really | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
rough area of Crawley, it was called Crawley. Some people said it is | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
disgusting that you slate it like that. It is your hometown. Other | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
people said that they felt exactly the same way. I wasn't making a | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
statement, really, it was just a joke. All of a sudden, I became the | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
anti`ambassador for the town. Some aspects of his former career he is | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
happy to leave behind. Talking to sixth form girls. About what they | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
are wearing. Something I felt much less comfortable about. What I found | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
was that if I looked at them for long enough they covered themselves | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
up. No grits for the full`time funnyman. `` regrets. With all of | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
his TV appearances, he told me that he wants to get recognised in the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
streets. An air hostess recently recognised him on a plane not | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
because of his celebrity status, but because he taught her algebra five | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
years ago. He will be on here all weekend. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Now, take a listen to this. LION ROARS. | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
That is the sound of one very happy lion, because it's about to be | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
treated to a Christmas Tree! Yes, apparently lions and leopards at the | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
Wildlife Heritage Foundation at Smarden in Kent love them. It's | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
something to do with the chemicals in the pine, apparently. | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
Must drive them wild. He seems pretty focused. To the weather. | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the 60th year since the very first TV | :25:43. | :25:57. | |
broadcast. `` weather broadcast. Without a rubber magnet inside, I | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
can tell you that we have some good news. Saturday has high pressure, so | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
dry and light winds. A frost as they go into Sunday. Rain later on | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Sunday. Much of the day should be dry. Earlier, we have sunshine | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
during the morning. More cloud covered by the afternoon, one or two | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
a patchy showers. Temperatures not too bad, about in double figures. | :26:21. | :26:29. | |
The Windies will be lighter. If you fancy stargazing, not a grey night | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
for it, it would stage right. As they go through the night, the band | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
of rain will track East. Not too heavy. It will stay mild as a | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
result, temperatures only dropping 26 or seven sources. The rain clears | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
out of the way and as you can see we have high pressure. We have | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
sunshine, lighter winds and temperatures may be down to seven or | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
eight Celsius, but it should feel pleasant with the sunshine. As we go | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
through tomorrow night, it means temperatures will be cooler than | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
they have been, dropping to or three Celsius. Temperatures always holding | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
up along the coast. It will be a lovely, bright, if cold and frosty | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
start to the day on Sunday. It won't stay dry, by the end of the | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
afternoon we will have cloud cover and there will be rain on Monday. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
But temperatures will be nine or 10 Celsius. A wet start to the working | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
week, it should clear the way for a drier end. Wet and windy again next | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
week, MJ Saturday. `` enjoy Saturday. | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
Rob is back next week. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
