:00:05. > :00:10.The Government changes its advice and tells drivers there's no need

:00:10. > :00:14.to keep topping up their tanks. But there are lengthy queues at petrol

:00:14. > :00:22.stations again, as extra tanker drivers are laid on to try to stop

:00:22. > :00:26.them running out of of fuel. It is frustrating, I know, when petrol

:00:26. > :00:29.stations are closed and there are queues, but everything that can be

:00:29. > :00:32.done is being done, but it will take time.

:00:32. > :00:36.A woman sets herself alight after decanting petrol from a jerry can,

:00:36. > :00:38.in the same week the Government advised people to stock up on fuel

:00:38. > :00:41.at home. Still no strike has been called but

:00:41. > :00:43.Unite has said there will be no industrial action over Easter.

:00:43. > :00:46.Also tonight: The controversial ex-Labour MP

:00:47. > :00:56.George Galloway snatches a safe seat from his former party with a

:00:57. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:04.massive landslide. This, the most sensational result in British by-

:01:04. > :01:07.election history, bar none, represents the Bradford Spring.

:01:07. > :01:12.The extradition of Shrien Dewani, wanted in South Africa for the

:01:12. > :01:15.murder of his wife, is stopped because of his mental illness.

:01:15. > :01:21.The Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi prepares to stand

:01:21. > :01:31.in ground-breaking elections in Burma.

:01:31. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:40.And coming up on the BBC News Channel, we will have all the sport,

:01:40. > :01:50.including more on Aston Villa's captain, Stiliyan Petrov, who has

:01:50. > :01:59.

:01:59. > :02:02.Good evening. The Government has changed its

:02:02. > :02:07.advice and told motorists that there's no need to keep topping up

:02:07. > :02:10.their tanks. The Unite union has now said it won't go out on strike

:02:10. > :02:13.before Easter but there have been more lengthy queues at petrol

:02:13. > :02:17.stations. Extra tanker drivers have been laid on and their driving

:02:17. > :02:20.hours extended to try to meet the soaring demand. And a woman has

:02:20. > :02:23.been seriously burnt decanting petrol from a jerry can. Earlier

:02:23. > :02:31.this week the Government advised people to keep a store of petrol at

:02:31. > :02:35.home. Our deputy political editor, James Landale, reports.

:02:35. > :02:40.It is now clear there will be no tanker strike over Easter, but

:02:40. > :02:44.still the queues form, petrol stations ran dry, tempers fray as

:02:44. > :02:49.drivers' line-up to fill their tanks, just in case. In Torbay,

:02:49. > :02:53.there was so much confusion that staff had to direct traffic. It is

:02:54. > :02:58.manic, absolutely ridiculous. I am trying to control the traffic

:02:58. > :03:01.because otherwise, like yesterday, we will have traffic down to the

:03:01. > :03:05.roundabout. You can see the way that people are trying to cross the

:03:05. > :03:10.road, weaving in and out of each other. Some common sense would go a

:03:10. > :03:15.long way at the moment. But some said that is what they were using.

:03:15. > :03:20.A red light came on, so I need petrol. It is Easter holidays and I

:03:20. > :03:24.am offered the children, so I would rather not run out. It is

:03:24. > :03:29.ridiculous, people clearing places out. In recent days, ministers

:03:29. > :03:34.urged drivers to fill up when they can, and that is what they're doing.

:03:34. > :03:39.Retailers said demand for unleaded had risen 162% on Thursday and

:03:39. > :03:44.demand for diesel had risen 77%. No wonder there was yet another

:03:44. > :03:47.meeting of the Cabinet's Emergency Committee. The Prime Minister said

:03:47. > :03:52.the Government would continue making contingency plans and called

:03:52. > :03:56.on Unite to call off the threat of a strike entirely. I can tell

:03:56. > :04:00.people the fuel companies are working flat out to resupply petrol

:04:00. > :04:05.stations. It is frustrating, I know, when petrol stations are closed and

:04:05. > :04:09.there are queues. But everything that can be done is being done, but

:04:09. > :04:13.it will take time. To speed things up, the Government

:04:13. > :04:17.is temporarily relaxing the limits on drivers' hours, allowing them to

:04:17. > :04:22.spend 11 hours instead of nine on the road. And as for the dispute,

:04:23. > :04:27.signs of hope. Both sides will hold discussions with ACAS on Monday,

:04:27. > :04:30.and Unite said they were looking for a negotiated solution. We have

:04:30. > :04:34.announced we will not be announcing seven days' notice of industrial

:04:34. > :04:38.action, which means there will not be industrial action over the

:04:39. > :04:44.Easter period. Tonight, in this West Yorkshire hospital, a woman is

:04:44. > :04:47.recovering from 40% burns. Diane Hill was in her kitchen, pouring

:04:47. > :04:52.petrol from a container into a glass jug, Pandy so she could give

:04:52. > :05:01.some to her daughter. But the flame from her gas cooker and ignited the

:05:01. > :05:03.fumes. -- apparently shows -- so she could give some to her daughter.

:05:04. > :05:09.The Cabinet Office Minister, Francis Maude, told people to fill

:05:09. > :05:13.jerry cans. Labour MPs called on him to resign if a link emerged.

:05:13. > :05:16.Tizie Cabinet minister two days ago telling people to fill of jerry

:05:17. > :05:20.cans in the garage, causing panic and confusion, the Prime Minister

:05:20. > :05:23.saying to top up your fuel, it is spectacular. The petrol was being

:05:23. > :05:30.delivered, there was no strike date, talks are going on but the

:05:30. > :05:32.Government has panic people into this confusion, chaos and worse.

:05:32. > :05:36.This is obviously a desperate incident and a terrible thing that

:05:36. > :05:40.happened to this woman. My heart goes out to her and her family.

:05:40. > :05:45.now, the threat of an Easter striker has gone away, but the

:05:45. > :05:50.queues have not. Not yet. James is in Westminster. What is

:05:50. > :05:53.the advice from the Government for motorists? This situation began

:05:54. > :05:58.with confusion over language and that language has changed.

:05:58. > :06:03.Yesterday, the Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, was telling drivers to top

:06:03. > :06:06.up when you can, keep your tanks three-quarters full. Today, the

:06:06. > :06:11.Prime Minister chose not to repeat that. He said nothing about what

:06:11. > :06:15.drivers should or should not do. It is because the advice has now

:06:15. > :06:19.changed. If you look at the website of the energy department and the

:06:19. > :06:23.Transport Department tonight, they tell drivers "there is no urgency

:06:23. > :06:27.to top up your tank". The reason that they give is because Unite

:06:28. > :06:32.have now decided not to strike over Easter. The Labour leader has

:06:32. > :06:37.released details about party donors, and a separate development. Yes, he

:06:37. > :06:41.has issued a list of significant donors to his party since he became

:06:41. > :06:47.leader in 2010. This comes after David Cameron was forced to do a

:06:47. > :06:51.similar thing earlier in the week. The list reveals that Ed Miliband

:06:51. > :06:56.has met 42 donors who have given more than �7,500 to Labour.

:06:56. > :06:59.Interestingly, Len McCluskey, the general secretary of Unite, Ed

:06:59. > :07:04.Miliband has met him eight times over that period, more than any

:07:04. > :07:07.union boss. Why does that matter? Because they are Labour's largest

:07:07. > :07:11.donor and it is Unite who are threatening to take tanker drivers

:07:11. > :07:15.out on strike. The Conservatives say that this shows that Labour is

:07:15. > :07:19.in the pocket of Unite, and that is why Labour will not condemn the

:07:19. > :07:22.threat of the strike. Labour say they are being more transparent

:07:22. > :07:25.than the Conservatives. Labour has promised to learn

:07:25. > :07:29.lessons, after George Galloway swept to victory in the formerly

:07:29. > :07:32.safe Labour seat of Bradford West. The Respect Party MP, who won by

:07:32. > :07:35.the seat by an historic margin, attributed his success to voters'

:07:35. > :07:39.alienation from the three main parties. His party's won the

:07:39. > :07:47.biggest share of the vote at a by- election since 1945. Iain Watson

:07:47. > :07:51.reports from Bradford. George Galloway drove Labour from

:07:51. > :07:55.Bradford West, taking the seat with a 10,000 vote Majority. He compared

:07:56. > :08:00.his victory to the Arab Spring and cheekily suggested he was

:08:00. > :08:05.challenging the entire British political establishment. The three

:08:05. > :08:08.main parties offer one variety of other of the same thing. If a

:08:08. > :08:12.backside could have three cheeks, they would be three cheeks of the

:08:12. > :08:16.same backside. When someone comes along who can articulate the make

:08:16. > :08:22.an alternative case and demonstrate the possibility of a new politics,

:08:22. > :08:28.you see the result. His left-wing party is called Respect, but he was

:08:28. > :08:32.not shown too much of that by an aide wielding protester. Labour say

:08:32. > :08:37.that Bradford West is not a typical seat, with half the electorate come

:08:37. > :08:40.from ethnic minorities. This has been touring the streets of

:08:40. > :08:43.Bradford, setting out George Galloway's campaign agenda. Labour

:08:43. > :08:47.say that he won because he campaigned on the issue of bringing

:08:47. > :08:51.troops back from Afghanistan and on the Iraq war, but he also

:08:51. > :08:55.campaigned to get rid of tuition fees, and on the issue of jobs. So

:08:55. > :08:58.the reason for his victory is not that simple. Labour are seen as the

:08:59. > :09:04.establishment party here, running the council, and some voters say

:09:04. > :09:08.they are more concerned about local issues than global issues. Look at

:09:08. > :09:13.Bradford itself. But at the area. We used to have so many things, so

:09:13. > :09:17.many opportunities. Look at the streets. Normally I'm a Labour

:09:17. > :09:21.supporter but they have been too complacent over the years. George

:09:21. > :09:25.Galloway has long been a thorn in Labour's side. He was expelled from

:09:25. > :09:28.the party not long after the Iraq war and he got his revenge by

:09:28. > :09:35.taking the seat of Bethnal Green and Bow in east London from his

:09:36. > :09:42.former colleagues in 2005. Mr Blair, this is for Iraq. But the following

:09:42. > :09:46.year, his political career seemed to have hit a new low. When he was

:09:46. > :09:51.expelled from the Big Brother house. But some say his celebrity status

:09:51. > :09:55.has helped propel him to success in Bradford. And the Labour leader is

:09:55. > :09:59.promising to come here himself to find out why the voters abandoned

:09:59. > :10:03.his party. I will be going back to the constituency to talk to people

:10:03. > :10:09.there about why this result happened. Clearly there were local

:10:09. > :10:13.factors, but I also say that only four out of 10 people voted for the

:10:13. > :10:17.three mainstream political parties. Some say, although Labour are still

:10:17. > :10:21.ahead in national polls, Ed Miliband may have to draw a very

:10:21. > :10:24.wide-ranging lessons from this defeat. They have to find the right

:10:24. > :10:27.seemed that connects with the concerns of the electorate, not

:10:27. > :10:30.just to say we are opposed to austerity and the cuts and the

:10:30. > :10:36.things the Government are doing that are unpopular, but we really

:10:36. > :10:39.have a solution. And with crucial local elections just weeks away,

:10:39. > :10:43.all of the main political parties will be scrutinising closely the

:10:43. > :10:48.underlying reasons for George Galloway's victory.

:10:48. > :10:50.Two men have been found guilty and jailed for life for the murder of a

:10:50. > :10:52.police officer shot dead by dissident republicans in Northern

:10:52. > :10:56.Ireland. Former Sinn Fein councillor Brendan McConville and

:10:56. > :10:59.John Paul Wootton were found guilty for their part in the ambush of

:10:59. > :11:02.Constable Stephen Carroll. Tonight there were disturbances in the area

:11:02. > :11:10.where PC Carroll was killed, with vehicles hijacked and set on fire.

:11:10. > :11:15.Mark Simpson reports. Surrounded by her family, Kate

:11:15. > :11:18.Carroll was in court as her husband's killers were convicted.

:11:18. > :11:23.40-year-old Brendan McConville, a former Sinn Fein councillor, was

:11:23. > :11:28.part of the murder gang, as was John Paul Wootton, who was just 17

:11:28. > :11:32.at the time of the killing. Together, they shot dead PC Stephen

:11:32. > :11:36.Carroll. He was the first member of Northern Ireland's new police

:11:36. > :11:41.service to be murdered. Three years on, his killers have finally been

:11:41. > :11:46.caught and sent to jail. But his widow watched them in court not in

:11:46. > :11:50.anger, but sorrow. I pity them more than anything else. They have

:11:50. > :11:58.achieved absolutely nothing. They are fighting a losing battle, and

:11:58. > :12:02.why did they do it? No one wants it any more. The killers were caught

:12:02. > :12:08.after a series of police searchers in North Armagh. The murder was

:12:08. > :12:12.carried out by the Continuity IRA. Since killing Stephen Carroll on

:12:12. > :12:16.this housing estate, dissident Republicans have tried to murder

:12:16. > :12:21.more Republicans. By attacking members of Northern Ireland's new

:12:21. > :12:24.police service, they are trying to damage the peace process. The

:12:24. > :12:29.threat level remains high and police are continually on their

:12:29. > :12:32.guard. We need more community support. The young people of

:12:32. > :12:37.Northern Ireland deserve a future, and to make that happen, we need to

:12:37. > :12:40.support our police officers. tonight, supporters of the men

:12:40. > :12:44.jailed today burned vehicles and tried to block roads in County

:12:44. > :12:48.Armagh. But the number of dissident republicans in Northern Ireland is

:12:48. > :12:54.very small, and today's court case shows that police are becoming

:12:54. > :12:57.increasingly successful at catching them.

:12:57. > :13:00.The US President has approved the introduction of fresh sanctions on

:13:00. > :13:03.buyers of Iranian oil. Iran is facing international pressure to

:13:03. > :13:13.address concerns over its nuclear enrichment programme. Mark Mardell

:13:13. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:23.It is a potentially serious tightening of the screws. It means

:13:23. > :13:26.if a country or company tries to buy oil from the Iranian Central

:13:26. > :13:30.Bank, it could be cut off completely from the United States

:13:30. > :13:35.financial system. That is serious. Here is a problem, the President

:13:35. > :13:38.only decided to do this after looking at the world market and

:13:38. > :13:43.finding there was enough oil from other countries around, so prices

:13:43. > :13:46.would not shoot up. He has had to give exemptions to countries like

:13:46. > :13:51.Japan because they are trying to reduce their reliance on Iranian

:13:51. > :13:55.oil, because so many countries are reliant on it. India and China gets

:13:55. > :14:00.around by bartering wheat and soya beans. The sanctions are designed

:14:00. > :14:05.to send a message to Israel, don't take military action, give these

:14:06. > :14:13.hard sanctions a chance to bite and see what happens. So don't take

:14:13. > :14:16.military action now. Coming up on tonight's programme:

:14:16. > :14:25.We have a special report from the Falklands on the eve of the 13th

:14:25. > :14:28.anniversary of the Argentinian The Burmese pro-democracy leader,

:14:28. > :14:32.Aung San Suu Kyi, will stand in a parliamentary by-election this

:14:32. > :14:35.weekend - a key test of political reform. The Nobel laureate, who

:14:35. > :14:38.spent most of the past 22 years as a political prisoner, has said the

:14:38. > :14:42.vote cannot be considered entirely free and fair, but that it was

:14:42. > :14:52.still worth taking part in the political process. Fergal Keane

:14:52. > :14:54.

:14:54. > :15:00.reports from the Burmese capital, Across the city, people have sensed

:15:00. > :15:08.something out of the ordinary. There is an energy not have felt in

:15:08. > :15:12.decades. -- not bowled. Never mind that just over 40 out of 400

:15:12. > :15:17.parliamentary seats are in the offer, many believe this is the

:15:17. > :15:25.first step to ruling Burma. -- not felt. Soldiers once ordered to

:15:25. > :15:28.shoot at pro-democracy crowds seemed bemused. Not far away, the

:15:28. > :15:32.movement's leader was reminding the world's press of the long road to

:15:32. > :15:36.this moment. That moment when you see people

:15:36. > :15:41.vote, what will that mean to you? will have to wait to find out, I

:15:41. > :15:44.have never seen people vote in a free election in Burma. This was a

:15:44. > :15:47.first public appearance since she became ill from the rigours of

:15:47. > :15:53.campaigning last week. A question about her health was met with

:15:53. > :15:57.humour. I have not been well lately, I am feeling a little delicate, so

:15:57. > :16:01.any tough questions and I shall faint straight away. There is

:16:01. > :16:06.guarded optimism here that the elections could, if they are free

:16:06. > :16:10.and fair, represent a moment of profound change here. The hope is

:16:10. > :16:15.that after this, it will be impossible to return to the dark

:16:15. > :16:20.days of dictatorship. Two hours south of Rangoon, the

:16:20. > :16:26.record of that dictatorship was being defended on the hustings. Dr

:16:26. > :16:31.Soe Min, the stand-in for the military-backed party against Aung

:16:31. > :16:40.San Suu Kyi. His audiences are polite but far from enthusiastic.

:16:40. > :16:44.have faced so many, so this campaign is very easy.

:16:44. > :16:49.Why is the government risking reform? A large part of the answer

:16:49. > :16:52.is in places like Rangoon's railway quarter. Burma has missed out on

:16:52. > :16:57.the region's economic growth. The government hopes reform will end

:16:57. > :17:02.sanctions, spur investment and give it time to win political support.

:17:02. > :17:08.Their frustration over missed chances runs deep. With two

:17:08. > :17:14.children to support, this man earns just over �1 a day. Life is not

:17:14. > :17:23.going well for me and I have to struggle for my family. For Burma's

:17:23. > :17:28.politicians, the task ahead is immense. It invites caution. As the

:17:28. > :17:31.campaign enters its most exuberant hours.

:17:31. > :17:34.The extradition of Shrien Dewani - wanted in South Africa for

:17:34. > :17:38.arranging the murder of his wife, Anni during their honeymoon there -

:17:38. > :17:40.has been temporarily stopped. The High Court in London ruled that it

:17:40. > :17:43.would be "unjust and oppressive" to order Mr Dewani's extradition as

:17:43. > :17:46.long as he is suffering from mental illness. The businessman, who's

:17:46. > :17:56.from Bristol, denies any involvement in his wife's killing

:17:56. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:01.in Cape Town in 2010. Tom Symonds was in court.

:18:01. > :18:05.Once the smart businessman, Shrien Dewani seemed haunted when he last

:18:05. > :18:09.appeared in public. The court decided today he should not be

:18:09. > :18:14.extradited for now, because of his mental illness. The process has

:18:14. > :18:20.been halted, but not terminated. The family of his murdered wife are

:18:20. > :18:24.thankful for that. We just want him to get better now, so he can

:18:24. > :18:30.finally go to South Africa and tell us what happened. We just want to

:18:30. > :18:35.know the truth, because this is all about that our dearest little

:18:35. > :18:42.sister was murdered. It has become known as the honeymoon murder.

:18:42. > :18:48.Shrien Dewani and his wife, Anni Dewani, were staying at a top Cape

:18:48. > :18:51.Town hotel. CCTV footage shows Shrien Dewani going to meet a taxi

:18:51. > :18:55.driver alone, the prosecution says to arrange for a hitman to kill

:18:55. > :18:59.Anni Dewani, the defence, to arrange sightseeing. That night,

:18:59. > :19:04.their taxi was ambushed and Anni Dewani was driven off without her

:19:04. > :19:08.husband. She was later to beat the found shot dead. Back at the Hotel,

:19:08. > :19:13.Shrien Dewani seemed devastated at what had happened. But a few days

:19:13. > :19:18.later, he was captured meeting the taxi driver again, to give him

:19:18. > :19:22.money, the equivalent of �82. Was he pain for the killing, or simply

:19:22. > :19:27.the services of a tour guide? Shrien Dewani's family insists he

:19:27. > :19:31.wants to clear his name. Today's decision here at a High Court means

:19:31. > :19:36.the case now goes back to the magistrates' court. Effectively, it

:19:36. > :19:40.starts again. For Shrien Dewani to face charges in South Africa, it is

:19:40. > :19:45.now highly likely that he will have to recover from his mental

:19:45. > :19:49.illnesses. His family do believe that one day he will be well enough.

:19:49. > :19:54.Then he will go over to South Africa and face trial, where I hope

:19:54. > :19:58.and pray that he will get justice and the truth will come out. Shrien

:19:58. > :20:03.Dewani has always insisted he would never have wanted to kill, in his

:20:03. > :20:07.own words, the girl of his dreams. Her family believe the happy smiles

:20:07. > :20:10.of the wedding videos hide darker secrets within their relationship.

:20:10. > :20:13.The truth, for now, remains out of reach.

:20:13. > :20:18.Britain and Argentina are preparing to mark the 30th anniversary of the

:20:18. > :20:21.Falklands War, amid heightened tensions over the disputed islands.

:20:21. > :20:23.On Monday it will be 30 years since Argentinian forces invaded, but in

:20:23. > :20:26.the last few months diplomatic tensions have been stoked by

:20:26. > :20:34.British oil exploration, and a tightening economic blockade by

:20:34. > :20:40.Argentina. Allan Little has travelled to the Falklands capital,

:20:40. > :20:46.Port Stanley, to talk to islanders ahead of the anniversary.

:20:46. > :20:51.For a moment, the sleepy calm of Port Stanley is shattered. The

:20:51. > :20:56.noise bothers no one, it reassures. The islanders believe themselves

:20:56. > :21:01.well defended, secure in their windswept Britishness. Britain says

:21:01. > :21:05.the islands are prepared for any future Argentine threat. If you

:21:05. > :21:11.look at our defences, I think they are entirely adequate to stop them

:21:11. > :21:14.being captured in the first place. Everyone on the islands is

:21:14. > :21:19.confident that the islands are adequately defended against what

:21:19. > :21:25.ever, it is an uncertain world, you don't know what is going do happen.

:21:25. > :21:29.Memories of the ten-week Argentine occupation in 1982 are vivid. Neil

:21:30. > :21:34.Watson is a 7th generation islander and sheep farmer. He saw Argentine

:21:34. > :21:39.troops on his land every day. But he knew a liberation force was on

:21:39. > :21:47.its way, for one evening after dark there was a knock at his farmhouse

:21:47. > :21:54.door. This guy with a 9 millimetres pistol, a mink something at my

:21:54. > :22:01.breastbone. I thought, the uniform looks different -- aiming something.

:22:01. > :22:08.I said, who are you? He said, who are you? I said, you are British,

:22:08. > :22:13.you better come in. He was a member of the Special Boat Service.

:22:13. > :22:19.The island's fortunes have transformed since the war. Wildlife

:22:19. > :22:24.now attract tourists. The economy, mostly squid fishing, is booming.

:22:24. > :22:28.The islands are economically self- sufficient, apart from defence. The

:22:28. > :22:32.rockhopper penguin is one of the great iconic images of these

:22:32. > :22:36.islands, and rockhopper is the name of one of the companies looking for

:22:36. > :22:39.oil and gas in the sea bed. There is a lot of wealth which will

:22:39. > :22:46.transform the fortunes of these islands and changed the dispute

:22:46. > :22:49.between Britain and Argentina. 1 oil field is already known to

:22:49. > :22:54.contain 350 million barrels. That alone could make these islands very

:22:54. > :22:58.rich, very quickly. This super rig is exploring further reserves to

:22:58. > :23:03.the south. Argentina furiously accuses Britain of plundering

:23:04. > :23:09.Argentine resources and breaching international law. The Argentine

:23:09. > :23:12.trade blockade has hit the islanders in their diet. Growing

:23:12. > :23:16.fresh vegetables in the barren rock in a gale force wind takes an

:23:16. > :23:21.enterprising spirit, but there is still one flight a week to Chile to

:23:21. > :23:25.bring in fresh produce. But Argentina is threatening to sever

:23:25. > :23:29.even this. The islanders are phlegmatic. I think more and more

:23:29. > :23:33.of us in the Falklands are getting to the stage where we are saying,

:23:33. > :23:37.for God's sake, Argentina, if you are going to do it, get on and do

:23:37. > :23:40.it and we will live with the consequences. For the memory of the

:23:41. > :23:47.war that was fought for these islands, and the lives that were

:23:47. > :23:50.lost, have only strengthened the Britishness of those who live here.

:23:50. > :23:54.And on Sunday our world affairs editor, John Simpson, will be in

:23:54. > :23:57.Argentina to report on their view of the Falklands.

:23:57. > :24:00.The first picture of Fabrice Muamba, the Bolton midfielder, has been

:24:00. > :24:03.posted on Twitter after he collapsed after during the FA Cup

:24:03. > :24:08.quarter-finals. The Bolton midfielder is seen sitting up in

:24:08. > :24:13.bed and showing no outward sign of his ordeal almost two weeks ago. He

:24:13. > :24:16.also sent thanks for all his messages of support.

:24:16. > :24:20.You may have read the books, seen the movies, bought the toys - and

:24:20. > :24:23.now you can also take a walk around the Great Hall at Hogwart's. Warner

:24:23. > :24:25.Brothers are opening the Harry Potter studios in Hertfordshire to

:24:25. > :24:29.the public for the first time tomorrow, and they're expecting

:24:29. > :24:39.5,000 people a day to visit. Our entertainment correspondent, Lizo

:24:39. > :24:44.Mzimba, visited the studios. I've got a real treat for you today.

:24:44. > :24:48.You are a great wizard. Millions had read the books and watch the

:24:48. > :24:53.films. But that is the kind of loyalty Warner Brothers are hoping

:24:53. > :24:56.for for this new studio tour. Three years, the only people who got to

:24:56. > :25:03.experience the sets and props were those involved with the movie

:25:03. > :25:09.series, and they say they are pleased that is all changing.

:25:09. > :25:15.people will actually get a chance to kind of experience them for real,

:25:15. > :25:19.and see how much work goes into these. It is a great opportunity to

:25:19. > :25:23.celebrate the creative people who don't usually get a mention. Like

:25:23. > :25:27.the films, as well as the intricate sets, the tour aims to draw people

:25:27. > :25:33.in with the promise of action, along with perhaps the odd scare or

:25:33. > :25:43.two. How does this compare to other major attractions? For a family of

:25:43. > :25:43.

:25:43. > :25:50.two adults and two children, coming here costs... �83. The Buckingham

:25:50. > :25:55.Palace tour is cheaper. Madame Tussauds is more expensive. For the

:25:55. > :25:59.studio, the potential benefits are huge, but not without risk. I think

:25:59. > :26:03.the advantage is you are making the Harry Potter world physical, so you

:26:03. > :26:07.can experience it in a way you can't with the rest of the brand.

:26:07. > :26:12.The danger is if people feel it has pushed the franchise one step too

:26:12. > :26:15.far, and they're having to pay too much for it. It was fan passion
