:00:00. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to inside out North West. Tonight, how this region
:00:14. > :00:18.is leading the way in dementia awareness. We have been married
:00:19. > :00:27.nearly 50 years and I have gone back to having another child, really We
:00:28. > :00:34.reveal Les Dawson's secret romantic side to comedian Johnny Vegas. There
:00:35. > :00:40.was so much more to the surface with Wes. And by funeral videos are
:00:41. > :00:46.becoming popular. This is a keepsake and offers a very special B and B do
:00:47. > :00:58.not see a funeral as something that should be forgotten.
:00:59. > :01:03.With the number of people receiving a dementia diagnosis expected to
:01:04. > :01:07.exceed a million in the UK within the next six years there is a drive
:01:08. > :01:10.to improve the quality of life for those with the condition and the
:01:11. > :01:13.people who care for them. Sam Walker's been finding out more about
:01:14. > :01:16.efforts to raise dementia awareness in the Northwest and Salford's bid
:01:17. > :01:27.to become one of the first dementia friendly cities in Britain. Onwards
:01:28. > :01:30.and upwards. No matter what happens. Les and Jenny Turner have been
:01:31. > :01:35.married for 40 years. Jenny was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eight
:01:36. > :01:39.years ago when she was 58. Les is her main carer. He is 70. Les, tell
:01:40. > :01:43.me what you have to do for Jenny. Everything. And when I say
:01:44. > :01:49.everything I mean everything. From bathing to toilet, everything. Any
:01:50. > :01:52.movement about the house you have got to be with her because she can't
:01:53. > :01:56.see things, obstacles, even coming downstairs you have got to put her
:01:57. > :02:08.hands on the bannister and say 'right come downstairs' and it's a
:02:09. > :02:11.slow process. It is as well. Jenny and Les have three grown`up children
:02:12. > :02:17.and five grandchildren, the youngest born just two weeks ago.
:02:18. > :02:22.Your family is really supportive. You are parents and you have got
:02:23. > :02:29.three children. How has it impacted on family life? It was devastating,
:02:30. > :02:32.wasn't it, because when you got the diagnosis Jenny said ,"Right, we
:02:33. > :02:36.have got to tell the family." So we phoned them up and we arranged to
:02:37. > :02:40.meet up at my daughter's house and we gave them the diagnosis, didn't
:02:41. > :02:44.we? And they cried. When you first got the diagnosis, were you
:02:45. > :02:52.frightened? No. No, you summed this up didn't you? You were glad that
:02:53. > :03:00.there was something you could put a name to, wasn't it? It was a relief
:03:01. > :03:05.that you... Yeah. ...and I think in a way it was a relief to all the
:03:06. > :03:13.family to know there was a reason why Jenny was like she is, or like
:03:14. > :03:22.she was. How has it changed your life? Dramatically. But we knew we
:03:23. > :03:26.knew didn't we? Les and Jenny were planning to move
:03:27. > :03:29.out to Cyprus on retirement but had to abandon their dream after the
:03:30. > :03:33.diagnosis. As Jenny condition's deteriorated Les has become her
:03:34. > :03:37.full`time carer. Tell me about a thing that so many
:03:38. > :03:41.of us take for granted, going out shopping for example, what's it like
:03:42. > :03:46.going to the shops? Err, very difficult. But when it comes to
:03:47. > :03:53.shopping for Jenny and if I need to take Jenny anywhere we always go to
:03:54. > :03:57.Handforth Dean, Marks and Spencers. It's easy parking and not only that
:03:58. > :04:00.if you forget your wheelchair they have always got wheelchairs there
:04:01. > :04:04.and I can take Jenny around Marks and Spencers all day in a
:04:05. > :04:08.wheelchair, but if I take her out on her feet, walkin, after two minutes
:04:09. > :04:18.there's too much going on and she wants to get out right away. What
:04:19. > :04:26.about other people's reaction to you and Jen? It varies. I mean we have
:04:27. > :04:29.had one or two episodes. Well as Jen can't handle escalators, you know,
:04:30. > :04:33.she can't get the timing right, to stand on it and be carried upstairs.
:04:34. > :04:38.So you use the lift, and there's quite a few people and there was a
:04:39. > :04:42.young lad there with his wife and child in a pram and he goes, "You
:04:43. > :04:46.could always use the escalator" I said, 'I am sorry, my wife has got
:04:47. > :04:51.Alzheimers and she can't see basically'. "Oh, I didn't know, and
:04:52. > :04:59.I said "No you don't know because it's not imprinted on the forehead
:05:00. > :05:09."I have Alzheimers or Dementia. So you think that awareness is a
:05:10. > :05:16.problem? It is a problem. When you're out and about what would make
:05:17. > :05:19.your life easier? Oh, it's a very difficult answer, err question to
:05:20. > :05:23.answer that. Living with dementia and knowing dementia like we do you
:05:24. > :05:35.have got to live with it to understand it and strangers, if they
:05:36. > :05:39.have... They don't know do they No if they have never been in contact
:05:40. > :05:45.with anybody with dementia they will never understand it. Ssimple things
:05:46. > :05:49.like taxis. If we order a taxi and it comes and it happens to be a
:05:50. > :05:53.mini`bus that's no good for Jenny because there are steps which are
:05:54. > :05:58.too high and she cannot get in, so you have got to insist on a normal
:05:59. > :06:02.car where you can get Jenny in. It is the little things that most of
:06:03. > :06:06.us take for granted like going to the shops or using public transport
:06:07. > :06:09.that can pose such a challenge for people with dementia. So how can
:06:10. > :06:13.their lives be made easier? I've been to find out about efforts being
:06:14. > :06:23.made here in Salford to make it the first dementia friendly city in the
:06:24. > :06:27.UK. We hope that this may change the way that you react to a situation
:06:28. > :06:32.and promote this for other people so we can do our best to make sure we
:06:33. > :06:39.get rid of the negative connotations that we first heard when we heard
:06:40. > :06:44.the word dementia. These taxi drivers are among the first in the
:06:45. > :06:48.city to take part in a dementia awareness session. It is all part of
:06:49. > :06:49.an initiative to improve the quality of life for people in Salford with
:06:50. > :06:52.the condition. The Salford Dementia Action Alliance
:06:53. > :06:56.is basically aiming for Salford to become a dementia friendly city and
:06:57. > :06:59.what that means is that the city enable peoples with dementia to feel
:07:00. > :07:02.understood and respected and supported to lead happy and
:07:03. > :07:05.fulfilled. `` happy and fulfilled lathes. So why is it so important?
:07:06. > :07:08.It's important because a recent Alzheimer's Society survey found
:07:09. > :07:13.that one in ten people with dementia go out just once a month, and one in
:07:14. > :07:16.three go out just once a week and the reason being that they lacking
:07:17. > :07:22.the confidence and feel that society doesn't know how to support them and
:07:23. > :07:25.doesn't understand dementia. Loneliness and isolation can be a
:07:26. > :07:28.big problem for people with dementia and their carers as well, which is
:07:29. > :07:30.why projects like these are so important.
:07:31. > :07:34.The Open Doors Cafe meets every fortnight and is a chance for people
:07:35. > :07:39.with dementia and their partners or carers to get out and meet others.
:07:40. > :07:43.Tell me what does this cafe mean to you coming here? Oh I love it.
:07:44. > :07:47.Absolutely love it. This one and the other one we go to, I know everybody
:07:48. > :07:51.knows exactly what's going on and what it's about. I don't have to
:07:52. > :07:55.explain anything to everybody if Brendan keeps getting up and doing
:07:56. > :07:59.things, nobody has to explain to anybody because we all know we are
:08:00. > :08:02.in the same boat the people here all fabulous, it's just great that you
:08:03. > :08:09.don't have to explain to people why I am here, it's lovely. When was the
:08:10. > :08:20.last time, Joan, that you relaxed? In your life? I don't know. I don't
:08:21. > :08:24.know. I'm sorry I don't know. I just can't, 24`7 I have got to be
:08:25. > :08:27.watching him because I am frightened he'll just go out the door on the
:08:28. > :08:36.road and he doesn't understand anything like that. He would open
:08:37. > :08:40.the door to anybody, so I have to be with him, he puts the kettle on the
:08:41. > :08:44.stove and it's an electric kettle, he'd leave the gas on, so you can't
:08:45. > :08:49.relax, even at night when it's bedtime you can't, I've got to make
:08:50. > :08:56.sure he's all right in bed. I just can't relax. So if we could make a
:08:57. > :09:00.dementia friendly society in Salford how would your life change, if
:09:01. > :09:04.people understood your life? Lovely. Lovely, because then everybody would
:09:05. > :09:07.understand how I feel about it. How I have married nearly 50 years and I
:09:08. > :09:16.am back to having another child really, that's it.
:09:17. > :09:24.So, Jenny, you, I understand, used to be a model? Erm... For Marks and
:09:25. > :09:33.Spencer? Yep. And you had to go down to London? Yeah. So you love fashion
:09:34. > :09:40.and clothes? Yeah, yes lovely. Tell me about Jenny and you first met her
:09:41. > :09:44.Les? You were stunning. I will never forget the night I met her, you had
:09:45. > :09:59.hot`pants on didn't you? Hot`pants. Very hot. LAUGHTER. I don't have
:10:00. > :10:06.this problem myself. Tell me about your husband, Jenny. He's amazing,
:10:07. > :10:08.he is, yes, yep. What does he do for you? Lots and lots and lot and I
:10:09. > :10:30.just love him, yeah. Coming up, why it is not just the
:10:31. > :10:35.funerals of the rich and famous that are now being filmed. When you see
:10:36. > :10:40.it it is like being there. You get a lump in your throat, that is for
:10:41. > :10:43.sure. Manchester has produced some of the nations favourite comedians
:10:44. > :10:48.in the years, including Victoria Wood, Steve Coogan and Carolina
:10:49. > :10:52.Heron. One of the funniest of them all has got to be Les Dawson. He is
:10:53. > :10:57.perhaps best remembered for the mother`in`law jokes and the sissy
:10:58. > :11:01.and either routines. As Chris Hocking has been finding out there
:11:02. > :11:07.was more to Les Dawson and comedy genius. I had a nightmare that I was
:11:08. > :11:13.a sports car. My wife's mother had her foot on my throttle... Les
:11:14. > :11:18.Dawson's statue in Lytham St Anne's is a special place for his daughter
:11:19. > :11:22.Charlotte. Do you come here to the statute very often Charlotte? Yes I
:11:23. > :11:26.do actually, I know it sounds a bit weird but when I'm upset but when
:11:27. > :11:30.I'm upset or angry I just get in my car, sit there and just try and talk
:11:31. > :11:34.to him and try and make everything better. Unless it's a summer's day,
:11:35. > :11:38.I'll just get on my bike and bike down here and just give him a big
:11:39. > :11:42.hug, a kiss and squeeze his cheeks. Charlotte was only eight months old
:11:43. > :11:46.when Les Dawson died from a heart attack in Manchester on June the
:11:47. > :11:49.10th 1993. He was just 62. She had to grow up without her dad, sharing
:11:50. > :11:54.his memory with his adoring fans but never actually knowing him in
:11:55. > :11:58.person. I remember being sat around the living room with my mum and my
:11:59. > :12:08.family and just watching him on TV and thinking "Oh my God, my dad s on
:12:09. > :12:13.TV." Did it make sense to you? No, not really. It did not make sense.
:12:14. > :12:16.As I got older I realised what a genius he was. We got into the
:12:17. > :12:20.bedroom and we started to undress. And my mother always said to me
:12:21. > :12:27.whatever you do, when you're with a man, never take everything off. You
:12:28. > :12:33.know, never be, bare. Leave something on as an air of mystery.
:12:34. > :12:36.So did you? I left my hat on. Over the years Charlotte has had to piece
:12:37. > :12:52.together her father's story for herself from his TV shows and a
:12:53. > :13:01.cherished home video. Oh, hi, this is for you, Charlotte. By the way, I
:13:02. > :13:15.am your dad. He said "I'm your dad" to the camera. It's weird. Divya,
:13:16. > :13:20.Charlotte. In the room. You read five lb. Six oz. . I've wrote this
:13:21. > :13:22.card is just for you. The home`video Les Dawson made for her is
:13:23. > :13:27.Charlotte's most prized possession. But now aged 21 she wants to find
:13:28. > :13:32.out more about the man he was, the story behind his rise to fame and a
:13:33. > :13:35.talent he kept secret. To help Charlotte find out more about her
:13:36. > :13:39.father's past I've brought her to a working men's club in Liverpool to
:13:40. > :13:42.meet comedian Les Dennis. So Charlotte this is the Garston
:13:43. > :13:46.Woodcutters Club and it's the kind of club, I started here in the 0s,
:13:47. > :13:50.but it's the kind of club your dad would have worked in the 60s and
:13:51. > :13:56.70s, a real typical working men s club." I can't imagine what it would
:13:57. > :14:00.have been like for you, I would be absolutely terrified if I had to do
:14:01. > :14:03.that now. Well you know you were scared because audiences told you.
:14:04. > :14:07.With a singer they'd applaud politely but with a comic if you
:14:08. > :14:13.don't get laughs then you die, you die a death, as we call it. So it
:14:14. > :14:16.was a hard training ground but a very good training ground for comics
:14:17. > :14:26.to move on and to become the likes of your dad to become, the national
:14:27. > :14:30.treasure that he became. I came from a very profoundly. Though the age of
:14:31. > :14:38.15 I thought maybe signed for fertility. What made him different
:14:39. > :14:42.do you think? Well you see what had, he had the common touch. You know he
:14:43. > :14:45.could entertain people in a room like this but he could also
:14:46. > :14:51.entertain royalty. He could entertain. The Queen laughed at Les
:14:52. > :14:57.Dawson. That's why the Israel inspiration? ? For me he was
:14:58. > :15:01.somebody who'd cut through from the working men's clubs and moved on.
:15:02. > :15:03.Somebody like Les made you think it's possible, it's absolutely
:15:04. > :15:06.possible. These days shows like the Voice, X`Factor and Britain's Got
:15:07. > :15:09.Talent are a passport to overnight success but those kind of shows
:15:10. > :15:13.haven't always been around. However, there was Opportunity Knocks and
:15:14. > :15:20.that's the TV talent show that gave Les Dawson the big break he'd being
:15:21. > :15:23.searching for. The show turned him into a star overnight, although some
:15:24. > :15:29.critics said his humour was too northern for a national audience.
:15:30. > :15:36.But Les proved the doubters wrong. Now in the north of England we have
:15:37. > :15:41.what are called Gurners. Now the only way to illustrate how to pull a
:15:42. > :15:45.face is to paraphrase the old joke. A couple who have got married in a
:15:46. > :15:58.lonely part of Cumbria and said "I love you our Arthur","I really do
:15:59. > :16:15.love you." And he said, "I love you too." But there was more to Les
:16:16. > :16:18.Dawson than comedy genius. Charlotte's made an amazing
:16:19. > :16:29.discovery about her father that he kept secret. It is incredible being
:16:30. > :16:33.surrounded by this, the bike the blank cheque`book and some of these
:16:34. > :16:42.books. But this, this is something very, very special. Yes, this is
:16:43. > :16:46.extremely special. This is a novel, a romantic novel that I found when I
:16:47. > :16:50.was moving house, moving from the house that I lived with my dad in
:16:51. > :16:53.Lytham.And he wrote it in a woman's name, Maria Brett Cooper, because he
:16:54. > :16:57.was so scared about coming out as a serious writer, writing a romantic
:16:58. > :17:05.novel, so he wrote it in someone else's name. So he hid behind a
:17:06. > :17:10.pseudonym? So he actually typed this himself I assume? Yeah, he has. It's
:17:11. > :17:31.called An Echo of Shadows. Can you read us a little section from it? It
:17:32. > :17:44.was never published. I was going to finish writing it and hopefully
:17:45. > :18:01.publish it. It's the last work of Les Dawson. His widow Tracy says he
:18:02. > :18:04.was always writing. . He always had a notebook in his pocket, always
:18:05. > :18:08.writing, all the time. If we were like we are here now he would be
:18:09. > :18:11.writing another Cissy and Ada sketch, he was amazing really. And
:18:12. > :18:15.that was his aspiration ultimately wasn't it? Very much so. To be
:18:16. > :18:18.recognised as a writer. And he used to say that, if anything happens I
:18:19. > :18:23.want to be remembered for my writing, because he was so proud of
:18:24. > :18:26.it. He used to go and sit in the library when his books came out in
:18:27. > :18:30.Lytham St Anne's Library and just look at the books, and sit there
:18:31. > :18:33.looking and going and saying how proud he was that he achieved that,
:18:34. > :18:37.a Collyhurst lad had done well. I've taken Charlotte to meet her dad s
:18:38. > :18:41.biggest fan, comedian Johnny Vegas. He played the part of Les in a play
:18:42. > :18:46.he wrote about when Dawson took over from Terry Wogan on the quiz show
:18:47. > :18:50.Blankety Blank. Johnny you did a massive tribute to my dad when you
:18:51. > :18:59.wrote that Radio 4 play, I thought it was amazing. Oh cheers, it was a
:19:00. > :19:03.massive honour. It was special to me.To play your dad in the radio
:19:04. > :19:07.play, which was a complete, apart from Les' lines and things we knew
:19:08. > :19:10.Les had said it was a fictional piece but the joke being that Les
:19:11. > :19:19.got the presenter's job on Blankety Blank by accident.
:19:20. > :19:25.It is a pleasure to be here. In front of a handsome, well`dressed
:19:26. > :19:42.audience. I am always polite as well as tone deaf without trouble.
:19:43. > :19:54.Him getting that job was such a surprise to everybody when you think
:19:55. > :20:01.about the type of show that it was. Terry Wogan was the golden boy and
:20:02. > :20:08.it felt like such a hit to give it to somebody like Les. Please don't
:20:09. > :20:12.fiddle with your controls on the set. Just because Terry Wogan isn't
:20:13. > :20:21.here, doesn't mean your television is broke. I shall do my best to keep
:20:22. > :20:28.this show on a high level like you created. What can I say except. .
:20:29. > :20:35.This is pretty can `` incredible. This is a manuscript that Charlotte
:20:36. > :20:44.and her mum have found very recently. Just before he died, he
:20:45. > :20:54.was going to publish this. That is there to treasure but what is really
:20:55. > :21:01.sad is there was so much more below the surface with a less. How do you
:21:02. > :21:06.feel about the fact that somebody like your dad who is a national
:21:07. > :21:11.treasure, what it is like belonging to other people? Almost like
:21:12. > :21:18.belonging to the public? When people talk to me, they talk as if they
:21:19. > :21:27.know him more than me and I am always going to get that. I have sat
:21:28. > :21:32.there for hours watching him on TV. I have read every book, I have had
:21:33. > :21:36.to get to know him through all this but I am so lucky in a way because
:21:37. > :21:44.he left me such an incredible legacy. But at the end of the day
:21:45. > :21:48.all I want is my dad back. Wave to the camera. You won't remember this,
:21:49. > :22:05.will you? These days most of us have one of
:22:06. > :22:11.these and we are very used to recording video and taking pictures
:22:12. > :22:15.of our everyday lives. We are taking footage of weddings, parties and any
:22:16. > :22:22.pop concert we go to but what about our final journey? It was the
:22:23. > :22:26.American statesman Benjamin Franklin who said, in this world, nothing can
:22:27. > :22:30.be said to be certain except death and taxes. Death will come to us all
:22:31. > :22:35.eventually but what is surprising is the increasing demand for funerals
:22:36. > :22:38.to be captured for posterity. It's much like having a wedding or a
:22:39. > :22:42.christening whereby that's a keepsake of a very special day and
:22:43. > :22:50.they don't see a funeral as being something that should be forgotten.
:22:51. > :22:55.Dennis Harding has been making wedding videos since 1979 but he was
:22:56. > :23:04.surprised to get an enquiry about filming a funeral. Well about 1
:23:05. > :23:08.months ago we had a call from a photographer who said he'd had an
:23:09. > :23:14.enquiry to take photos for a funeral and would we like to do the video?
:23:15. > :23:23.And I thought Video of a funeral? I thought in for a penny in for a
:23:24. > :23:31.pound, we'll try it. My initial thought was would we get emotionally
:23:32. > :23:35.involved? Would we be sad with the mourners, how would we handle it but
:23:36. > :23:38.when we got there it just didn't happen like that because we didn't
:23:39. > :23:43.know anybody and we didn't get emotionally involved. Yvonne Sims
:23:44. > :23:46.lost her 92`year`old father earlier this year. Her daughters live in
:23:47. > :23:52.America but still wanted to be part of the service so she got Dennis to
:23:53. > :23:54.film it. I don't think it would be for everyone but for me and the
:23:55. > :23:58.girls because they've got televisions and you know the size of
:23:59. > :24:01.American tellies are like and they'll sit and watch it as though
:24:02. > :24:14.they were in the congregation, so they haven't mist it. `` missed it.
:24:15. > :24:17.And the thing is, we can keep it like all the Royal films of all the
:24:18. > :24:23.kings and prime ministers and goodness knows what they've got
:24:24. > :24:26.recordings of. In a way we've got a recording of Dad not to play
:24:27. > :24:29.continually and that sort of thing but the younger grandchildren can
:24:30. > :24:31.probably play it in years to come and say that was my Granddad's
:24:32. > :24:51.funeral. It was very nice and he had got that
:24:52. > :24:54.bit of history. I'm pleased I've had it done now as on the day, close
:24:55. > :25:03.relatives and with the organisation and everything you miss such a lot
:25:04. > :25:07.and it's very emotional. I couldn't look at the curtains going round the
:25:08. > :25:10.coffin but with having the video I can sit back as though I'm sitting
:25:11. > :25:17.at the back of the congregation and I'm looking down at the pastor. I'm
:25:18. > :25:19.hearing the music and I'm actually seeing the curtains going round
:25:20. > :25:28.quite unemotional. Colin Bowes and Ronald Edwards or
:25:29. > :25:34.Eddie had been best mates for more than 60 years when Eddie suddenly
:25:35. > :25:38.died at his home in Australia. He was probably the closest of the old
:25:39. > :25:42.friends that I had and once we heard he'd passed away so quickly my first
:25:43. > :25:55.thoughts were I wonder should I book a flight? Should I go? And then it
:25:56. > :26:02.was a question of I wonder when the funeral's going to be? And then of
:26:03. > :26:05.course I was able to talk to his wife and she was quite dismissive of
:26:06. > :26:09.any thoughts of going out there either me going out or his sisters
:26:10. > :26:18.going out and we're going to do this DVD and we'll send it across.
:26:19. > :26:22.Tenderly and reverently, we commit the body of Mr Ronald Edwards to the
:26:23. > :26:30.elements and gently give his sole... When you see it, it's a bit
:26:31. > :26:34.like being there. You get the lump in the throat, that's for sure. All
:26:35. > :26:41.of a sudden you were there and it was all happening and you were part
:26:42. > :26:45.of it. I treasure it now, I'm not saying it's something you'd want to
:26:46. > :26:48.play every week or so but occasionally and I suppose I should
:26:49. > :26:53.on the anniversary, I'd have another look. Every time I watch it, I see
:26:54. > :27:04.something else or hear something else that I hadn't picked up on It
:27:05. > :27:10.was the final curtain call for their world's most famous pop star.
:27:11. > :27:13.Televised funerals were once the preserve of royalty and politicians
:27:14. > :27:16.but with the cameras capturing funerals of celebrities like Michael
:27:17. > :27:20.Jackson and George Best it was only a matter of time before they caught
:27:21. > :27:23.on among the general public. The opportunity to have the occasion
:27:24. > :27:31.filmed is now becoming a common request to funeral directors. It is
:27:32. > :27:34.increasing and I think over the years it will become even more so
:27:35. > :27:38.and when you think about digital technology on the same day that the
:27:39. > :27:42.funeral takes place we can send a copy of that video to anywhere in
:27:43. > :27:45.the world. A family can actually be part almost of the service and feel
:27:46. > :27:49.comforted and I think people find quite a solace in feeling that they
:27:50. > :27:55.have been a part of it although physically they've not been able to
:27:56. > :27:58.attend. And for Dennis whose job it is to capture the funeral, it's
:27:59. > :28:03.certainly made him think more about his own send off. Having witnessed a
:28:04. > :28:07.few funerals and listened to the sound of music that they have on for
:28:08. > :28:11.my own funeral when it happens, I'd like something a bit more upbeat, a
:28:12. > :28:16.bit more jolly so that everyone could go out with a smile on their
:28:17. > :28:20.face. That's my idea of a funeral. I shall make it quite clear what I
:28:21. > :28:25.need and what I want so everyone would have a jolly laugh and a smile
:28:26. > :28:31.on their face from when they go out and they'd think that's him gone out
:28:32. > :28:36.of the way. That is all from us for this week but you can catch us again
:28:37. > :28:43.on the BBC I player and we are back next Monday at the same time.
:28:44. > :28:49.Goodbye. Next week, why an English man's home is his castle. I am the
:28:50. > :29:14.last one. I am staying here. Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your
:29:15. > :29:14.90 second update. More flooding misery. Thousand of homes in
:29:15. > :29:15.Berkshire and Surrey are now vulnerable as Thames river levels
:29:16. > :29:17.reach record highs. 14 severe flood warnings are in place - meaning
:29:18. > :29:20.lives are at risk. Full update at ten. Two men have been convicted of
:29:21. > :29:24.helping triple killer Joanna Dennehy. Gary Stretch was found
:29:25. > :29:25.guilty of one count of attempted murder. Leslie Leyton was convicted
