The plans that would take an Oxfordshire firm one step closer | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
The jewellers claiming to be the oldest family-run | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
A man from Oxford says he and his partner are desperate | :00:24. | :00:40. | |
to get back to their home in Osney after an explosion forced | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
One man died in the blast which caused a three-storey block | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Ian Francis, who's partially sighted, says he feels let down | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
by the housing group responsible for the flats and claims the repair | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
The cause of the explosion is still unknown. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
For Ian Francis, who's been blind since birth, | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
it's been a difficult few weeks since last month's explosion | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Ian, take me back to last month when the explosion happened. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
What were you doing and where were you when you heard the news? | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
I heard what I thought was a thunderclap over in Cowley | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
and then the next thing I knew I was getting a telephone call off | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
the Oxford Mail and they asked me if I knew anything about explosion | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Obviously I had to say no, so we rushed straight down | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
there and we weren't allowed anywhere near. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
The thought hit me, what if we had been in there at the time | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
or just walking past when the explosion struck? | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Earlier this month, police confirmed one man, | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
48-year-old Guido Schuette, died in the blast. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
You've been away from your home for three-and-a-half, four weeks now. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
You must be desperate to get back home? | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
The people where we are, the other residents there, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
But the room that we are in is a small room | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
I've not been able to take my assistance dog there. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
Trying to find our way round a new area with visual | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
You were supposed to be back at home today but you're not there. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Sammy and I returned there yesterday evening to get the flat ready to get | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
rid of all the smelly food from the freezer. | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Whilst cleaning, I went outside to throw rubbish away | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
and found outside my door there was water everywhere. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
The drainage wasn't working properly. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Also two radiators in the bedroom and in the bathroom, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
they are not working any more plus there's flickering lights | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
In a statement, A2 Dominion told us: | :02:42. | :03:04. | |
You're saying there are still problems | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
How long will it be then until you get back? | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
How long do you think you will be able to wait for? | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
I want to be back in within the next few days. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Sammy and I are desperate to go home. | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
We really want to go home, but with all these things coming up | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
with A2 Dominion and the way that we've been treated since explosion | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
by A2 Dominion, I'm losing all faith and respect for the housing | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
association and the people who run it. | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
Nearly ?10,000 has been raised for the family of a Buckinghamshire | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
man who's been killed in a car crash in New Zealand. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
24-year-old Anthony Copperwheat died last Sunday. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
He was in the country as a seasonal worker. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
His employers have set up a charity webpage to raise funds | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Two days of planned strikes across Oxford bus company routes | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
have been called off following further talks with unions. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Workers were unhappy about pay they received over | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Further industrial action was scheduled | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
This afternoon the Unite union and the bus company have released | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
a joint statement saying they are working towards | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
Police in South Oxfordshire are appealing for witnesses | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
after show chickens and cockerels were stolen from | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Ten cockerels and five chickens were stolen from outbuildings | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Their owner fears they've been taken for cock fighting. | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
A company developing driverless cars in Oxfordshire says it's already | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
bidding for a share of ?270 million promised by the Chancellor | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Philip Hammond said he was setting the money aside for a number | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
different technologies, including autonomous vehicles. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
It's as plans are being made for Culham Science Centre to become | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Our political reporter Bethan Phillips has | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
It sounds like something from Tomorrow's World. | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
Letting go of the wheel and letting a computer do the driving. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
But the future's not as far away as we might think according | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
to experts in Oxfordshire and it could help solve some | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
If we can centrally control where the autonomous cars are driving, | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
maybe we can have different cars take different routes | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
and reduce congestion, though if the cars can communicate | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
with each other then perhaps we can have them travelling more closely | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
together on the motorways, maybe even at higher speeds. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
So because the cars can all communicate with each other, | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
it's much safer and we can look much further ahead than we could do | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
So what is it actually like travelling in a driverless car? | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
So it's essentially answering three questions of where am I? | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Like a GPS can say I know where I am. | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
For what's around us, we have the laser sensors | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
What to do next is inside the computer. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
The government is sending clear signals it believes this | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
It's now hoped that some of the ?270 million announced | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
in this week's budget for new technology will find | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
So we're already applying for some of that grant funding. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
It's very important for a small company like us to get these sorts | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
of grants because it really helps us grow. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
It helps us to take more risks on projects. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
And when it comes to trying out driverless cars, | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Culham Science Centre is the perfect place. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
It's got a network of roads but is also a fairly | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
There are plans for it to become a major testing site, | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
putting Oxfordshire at the forefront of this technology. | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Well it's been great because we've seen the evolution. | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
We started off some time ago with cars just going around closed | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
car parks and just trying to get from A to B. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
And then we've extended onto the roads and we've used | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
an increasing amount of our road network with roundabouts, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
crossroads and we've seen the technology evolve. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
The Oxford-based company behind this car are hoping to triple | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
And with the knowledge and expertise that Oxfordshire has, | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
it's expected the county will remain in the driving seat when it | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
comes to getting this technology out on our roads. | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
A Oxfordshire charity is raising funds to build a gym that | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
will be adapted for people with brain injuries. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Headway Oxfordshire says 4,000 people suffer a brain injury | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
Now the team wants to build a neurological physiotherapy gym | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
with equipment designed for people with brain injuries | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
It would be based at the charity's rehabilitation centre in Kennington. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
Ordinarily if you are going to get into a machine and it had long | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
handles sticking out here and you had to get around that, | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
but you're wheelchair-bound, you wouldn't be able to. | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
So the company that make these machines are actually making them | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
a bespoke package for us where they're making them adaptable | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
so we can take different parts off so that people can get | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
inside and across the seat and replace the part whatever it is, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
so, as I say, they are very bespoke really and very | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
If you want a change from the traditional Easter Egg | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
hunt, there's a trail with a difference coming | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
With big ears, and standing at five feet tall, 80 specially-designed | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
hares are being hidden around towns and villages from Woodstock | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
The sculptures will be on display until September, | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
but we've been to a sneak preview in Burford. | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
It might sound like a hare-brained idea, but these five-foot hares | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
are hoping to raise a lot of money for charity. | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
Over the next few months you might stumble across | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
It's all part of the Cirencester Hare Trail. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Each one painted by a local artist or local celebrity and sponsored | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
The hares will leave Burford Garden Company | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
and they will be collected by the artists and sponsors and then | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
they will go into locations throughout Oxfordshire | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
and Gloucestershire, across the Cotswolds | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
and they will actually form a hare trail of 80 hares that you can | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
individually go out and see and visit and see how many you can | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
The hares will be going out into the Cotwolds on 25th March | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
and no doubt some keen walkers will try and race to be the first | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
That's if a tortoise doesn't beat them to it. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
The idea is that the hares are out for six months on the trail and then | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
in October they are auctioned for charity and the net proceeds | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
are going this year to National Star and to local museums. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
So they will be "hare" today but gone tomorrow. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
And organisers will be hoping no one gets too stressed trying to find | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
A vicar, who is turning 100 years old tomorrow, will be talking | :09:42. | :09:54. | |
about his experiences as a prisoner of war in China during | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
the Second World War at a special event this weekend. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Reverend Joe Cotterill and his wife Joyce were interned by the Japanese. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
He was in the same camp as Eric Liddle, one of the athletes | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
who inspired the film Chariots of Fire. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
Reverend Cotterill is the minister at St John the Baptist Church | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
I was ordained when most ministers have already retired | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
I was 75 when I was ordained as a minister of the church | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
at Marcham who, as it were, suggested that this was possible. | :10:27. | :10:39. | |
And I met Joe when I was 14 in China. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
I actually hit him with a snowball and we've been friends ever since, | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
but he married somebody else and I married somebody else | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
and we didn't meet again until we were both widowed | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
He was 85 and I was 75, so we've been married 15 years. | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
Alexis will have the weekend weather forecast a bit | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :11:15. | :11:26. | |
adult male asylum seekers, illegal immigrants | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Coming up later, the weekend forecast from Alexis, | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
Yes, these bowlers are taking part in what they hope will be the | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
longest match in history here in Dorset this weekend. The count down | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
clock is on, I will have all of the sport from here in Weymouth a bit | :11:58. | :11:58. | |
later. A week-long crackdown on people | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
using their mobile phones while driving in Hampshire saw | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
officers stop 186 people. The majority of those caught - | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
almost eight out of ten - were men, and seven out of ten | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
were over the age of 25. The figures show a small drop | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
in the numbers of people stopped 220 people were caught | :12:15. | :12:17. | |

for visitors to get hands-on with their local | :12:21. | :12:33. | |
history and heritage. The West Berkshire Museum | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
in Newbury has just completed A new permanent exhibition tells | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
the story of the area from prehistoric times | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
to the present day. Allen Sinclair's been | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
for a look round. The impressive buildings that | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
contain West Berkshire Museum were refurbished three years ago, | :12:45. | :12:45. | |
but although some local treasures went on show, | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
there was clearly potential to make Now a fresh injection | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
of Heritage lottery money, council cash and fundraising has | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
allowed the curators to weave the threads of local history | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
into a much more coherent - Many of the objects have never | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
been on show before. We can have a permanent exhibition | :13:08. | :13:21. | |
now and have temporary exhibitions to keep the locals coming back and | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
to tell their history through their objects. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
The museum now charts the story of West Berkshire | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
from prehistoric times, via the Civil War, | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
to the Greenham Common peace camps, from the cloth trade that put | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the town on the map to the industries that mean the area | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
A much more thorough approach to telling the story and more | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
opportunities to get involved personally. If people don't get | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
involved it doesn't have so much impact. If it's about kids coming in | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
and getting dressed up in historic clothes or an art project or a | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
school visit... Among the striking new exhibits | :14:00. | :14:00. | |
is a high-definition film, viewing the towns and villages | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
of West Berkshire from above, linked It is not cheap. This has been a | :14:03. | :14:15. | |
?2.2 million project. The council has spent ?850,000 on this and we | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
have had very generous donations from other sources, the Heritage | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Lottery Fund, the green and common trust, friends of West Berkshire | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Museum and many private donators. -- the Greenham Common trust. | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
The Museum's free for visitors, and various events are planned | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
in the coming weeks to celebrate its new lease of life. | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Allen Sinclair, BBC South Today, Newbury. | :14:40. | :14:40. | |
In these fast-paced days businesses come and go. | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
But a jeweller's shop in Salisbury is staking a claim | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
to being the oldest family-run business in Wiltshire. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
W Carter and Son has been trading from the same premises | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Joe Campbell paid the shop a visit to find out just how it's managed | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
This is a historic corner of Salisbury, place where businesses | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
like to flaunt their heritage, but one has them all beat. | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
Step through the door at W Carter and Son and you step back in time. | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
The julep is back row claims to be the oldest family run business in | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Wiltshire. -- the jewellers. It began 200 years ago with a small | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
announcement in the local newspaper. William Carper from London, clock | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
and watchmaker, Minster Street, most respectfully... The steam age, the | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
jet age, the computer age and umpteen generations later the | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
business ticks on. It is one of those businesses which is a lifetime | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
hobby as much as anything. Over the years we have had the odd tea are | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
brought in for special occasions to be cleaned up and things like that. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
-- tiara. You are not saying who buy? No, you have to be discreet. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
The new boy turned old boy Brian is now stepping back but upcoming | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
generations appreciate a bit of heritage. In this trade it is the | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
perfect place to wear a watch and chain and my pocket watch here, | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
dated 1755, so quite an old piece, older than the business! For | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
customers as well, the shop has been something of a fixture. They always | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
give you good advice and they sell good stuff. It is always quick sales | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
as well. Wedding ring. So that has recently stood the test of time! | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
Yes, 62 years. 63 years. Not quite as long as the business but a good | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
innings. Yes, it's good. As world-record attempts | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
go it's very sedate - a game of bowls by six players - | :16:57. | :17:00. | |

of stamina and let's Well, Sally, they are about six | :17:05. | :17:21. | |
hours into the challenge, 72 hours ahead when they started the late. | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
They are trying to raise money for charities including Cancer research | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
and help their heroes, but only six players, and with my skills I am not | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
likely to help them bring much. They will play in shifts, two at a time, | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
and I have not done too badly at that one but I don't think they will | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
call me up too soon. Lots of fun, lots of fundraising going on. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion hope to keep up the pressure | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
on Newcastle tonight at the top of the Championship. | :17:59. | :18:00. | |

Tony, Tuesday's win against Rotherham was a huge boost, | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
but you feel that the Seagulls will certainly have | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
to have their A-game on this evening against an unpredictable | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
There are ten games to go and plenty of those are here at the Amex. | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
The Seagulls have only lost twice in their last 29 at home | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
They also have to play several sides in the lower reaches | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
of the Championship and that could be the key at the end of April | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
to see whether they can make it into those final two places. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
They have coped with the injury to Shane Duffy, Uwe Huenemeier | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
is set to play at centre back once again. | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
Goals from that game at 10:30pm tonight. I went a bit long on my | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
first bowl but I will see if I can do any better. I might have invaded | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
the world record attempt to my left so let's hope that has some turn on | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
it. Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
has said he's extremely disappointed at his five-game ban and reiterated | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
he didn't intentionally stamp He starts a five-game ban tomorrow, | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
as the Cherries host West Ham Reading hope to build | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
on their impressive point against Newcastle by getting | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
a win at Preston. Oxford and Swindon hit | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
the road in League One, While Portsmouth, who are up | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
into the top three in League Two, hope to continue their fine away | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
form at Colchester. Follow all the action online | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
and commentary on BBC local radio. Surrey Storm, based in Guildford, | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
take on Hertfordshire Mavericks in the London Live event which draws | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
thousands of fans to the capital It is another moment for this sport | :19:52. | :20:06. | |
to get into the spotlight and I went to see them earlier. | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
They are the team that has taken the Netball Superleague by storm. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Two-time defending league champions and top of the table. | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
Surrey are ready for the Copper Box this weekend and their game | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
It will be my first quite big game at the Copper Box. | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Obviously, big Olympics fan, big basketball fan, | :20:22. | :20:22. | |
that was the basketball arena, so I'm excited to be playing | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
And I've just been getting the game on with my girls | :20:26. | :20:42. | |
The London Live event is one of the biggest in the calendar, | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
bringing 6000 fans together and live TV coverage. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Some girls are really nervous about playing in front | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
of a crowd of about 6000, which they've never done before, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
and the others have and their experience | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
about playing in those stadiums is very helpful. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
On paper Surrey are the favourites for this one. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
The Mavericks have lost two of their three matches so far | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
I think our key is that we come together a lot. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
We're a great team, we communicate well, | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
and it's not just on the court but off the court, too, | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
so having that chemistry in the team is really crucial, especially | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
The atmosphere, I think, is going to be amazing, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
and for us it's about not getting overwhelmed with the atmosphere | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
If they follow that advice, Surrey will be hard to beat. | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
I think I need some advice on my bowls. Not too bad because I only | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
started practising about half an hour ago. 72 hours of bowls, why are | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
you doing it? One is to highlight what you are doing, bowling. Yours | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
was within four feet, a dustbin lid. We say that if you get within that | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
you will get hooked. We are raising money through the Facebook page for | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
charity. Six big charities, the main one was the one we did last year, | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
meningitis, we raised ?1500 in the little game and we have progressed | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
now to six charities, help the heroes, Disability Bowls, Cancer | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
Reach Search -- Research. You are well on the way to get the money | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
already? We are not there yet. We are a long way away! You ask when | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
this will end? One o'clock on Monday, hopefully with a new world | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
record. Don't join in any more, we don't | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
want any more disasters! Many places saw lingering fog well | :22:50. | :23:04. | |
past lunchtime and through tonight it will make a return. Even for | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
inland areas. Mist and fog will develop during the night, a good | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
feel of cloud, maybe the odd spot of drizzle here and there, and | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
temperatures falling away to a mild eight or nine. A light southerly | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
breeze developing. After a misty and murky start tomorrow, we are hopeful | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
with the dry air coming off France we will see the cloud thin and break | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
in places to allow Sunny spells. More cloud further to the north but | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
in the sunshine it will feel very mild. The warm air from the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
continent will allow some places to reach 14, potentially 15 to 16 the | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
high. Tomorrow night, patchy rain will arrive during the early hours | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
of the morning ahead of a weather front double move in by dawn on | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Sunday and temperatures will fall to around eight or nine Celsius, the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
wind is fairly light. Through Sunday this band of rain will be with us, | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
two cold fronts moving from West to East. The first during the morning | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
clearing away, some heavy rain on that, the second one a dying weather | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
front, so not much rain but some patchy rain through the afternoon. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Brighter spells developing for western areas later but a lot of | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
cloud for much of the region and temperatures on Sunday a lot lower. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Looking at the weekend at as a whole, Saturday some sunny spells | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
and mainly dry, but a misty and murky start in places. Sunday a lot | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
cooler with a band of rain moving through. Rain at times, two bands of | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
rain, one with heavy rain, the second some light on patchy rain. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Here is the rest of the week's weather and into next week, a lot of | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
rain to start tomorrow, but he dry air from France will enable the | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
cloud to break up and temperatures to reach 14 to 16 degrees. Rain on | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
Sunday and on Monday and Tuesday it should be dry. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Do you remember the Summertime Specials of the 1980s? | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
It was a TV variety show featuring song and dance | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
The show moved around various seaside towns. | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
Some of the episodes were filmed in Bournemouth, | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
where there was something of an '80s revival in the town. | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Today one of those opening sequences was faithfully recreated, | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
with a little help from Sean Killick. | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
The 1980s are in full swing and the TV variety Summerside Special danced | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
its way to Bournemouth, big hairdos, crop tops and all. This | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
light-hearted dance routine opened the show. When a video of it was | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
posted online a couple of years ago it became hit all over again. Now it | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
has inspired a tribute video which will be used to help motivate | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
athletes in next month's Bournemouth Bay run, which this year as a 1980s | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
theme to mark its 35th anniversary. It is such fun, which is what we | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
want for the event, all abilities, one K, five K, ten Kate, a half | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
marathon. As soon as I heard I thought, this is perfect. From | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
production perspective it has been interesting to revisit the shots and | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
line them up. A lot of things have changed around Bournemouth so has | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
been relatively difficult but it has been a fun challenge. The 1980s | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
video featured a professional dance troupe. The new visit video has a | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
group of arts students from the University of Bournemouth. We wanted | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
a modern twist with some new choreography, a bit of difference. | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
The original is very 1980s. I think it is fun, really fun, but not | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
something we do on a daily basis. The eagle eye will notice they are | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
all female but the 80s video had a couple of men, including a rather | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
square looking man with a suit and tie. Where on earth could they find | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
a stand-in today? I don't think this table make the final edit. The run | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
is on the 2nd of April and I hope those potentially taking part are | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
substantially fitter than I am. Brilliant! What a star. | :27:28. | :27:36. | |

So, like, you get sponsored to swap clothes with somebody for a day. | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, I don't get that. So, maybe... | :27:58. | :27:59. | |
I don't get that. ..you wear your mother's clothes? | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
I don't get it. What does she wear? No, no, she wears someone else's. | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
OK, I don't get that, it's too complicated. Do another one. | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
So, like, you get sponsored to let people lick stuff | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
No, but, like, you get these flavoured... Cool, yeah. | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
Not going to happen. Peanut butter. Do another one. | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
