Despite having five of their own children | :00:44. | :00:51. | |

to Channel 4, and the South East has had some of the programme's | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Watching the last episode on Boxing Day, I did get a bit | :02:53. | :03:06. | |
emotional because I am a big fan of the programme. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |

The remaining hours of 2016 generally pretty settled for us | :04:03. | :04:06. | |

in from the north starts spreading rain by the end of the afternoon. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Over higher ground it could be a little bit wintry as some cold air | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
But much colder into Monday and Tuesday and we are talking about | :04:40. | :04:45. | |

Ireland and that will push south as we head towards parts of northern | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
England. Showers moving in from the North Southwark could be icy | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
stretches across there. Adding further south, mostly dry with a | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
