Many people like to try their luck, scratchcard when they go shopping.

But for some, this type of gambling can become an addiction, and it

But for some, this type of gambling something shop owners can do little

they were sorry and were trying to provide new dates for people, but

:11:10.:11:29.

the problem is that many people, particularly frail older people

:11:29.:11:31.

might be well enough to leave hospital, but they are not well

:11:31.:11:34.

enough to be sent home without any support. If there are no places in

:11:34.:11:36.

community hospitals and note packages from the council, the

:11:36.:11:38.

hospital has to keep the patients. The pilot cull of badgers in

:11:38.:11:41.

Somerset — part of the government's plan to eradicate TB in cattle — has

:11:41.:11:45.

officially come to an end. The government granted a licence for the

:11:45.:11:49.

shooting in a large area of West Somerset to last six weeks. But even

:11:49.:11:52.

though that period has now closed the protestors say they will stay.

:11:52.:11:55.

Our Somerset correspondent Clinton Rogers reports. The prettiest of

:11:55.:11:57.

settings, for the ugliest of rows, from today, the guns have fallen

:11:57.:12:02.

silent in this rural corner of Somerset. The village of club and is

:12:02.:12:13.

in the middle of this. Even in this predominantly farming community,

:12:13.:12:17.

opinions can divide friends. One person was very much in favour of

:12:18.:12:22.

the cull and the other was very much against it. The two were together

:12:22.:12:29.

and they just said, our friendship is the main point, we keep our

:12:29.:12:36.

opinions to ourselves. The cull in West Somerset began six weeks ago.

:12:37.:12:41.

Protesters have tried to follow every move, as Marx then set out to

:12:41.:12:47.

kill 70% of the badger population, around 2000 animals. No one is

:12:47.:12:51.

saying whether that number has been reached or not. The temporary home

:12:51.:13:00.

of the protesters is still there. Even though the official cull period

:13:00.:13:04.

has ended, they have no intention of moving out. The only thing that has

:13:04.:13:09.

stop them getting the numbers they wanted was because there were so

:13:09.:13:14.

many people getting in the way. Much respect to those people, but if they

:13:14.:13:20.

disappear, I think they will have a field day. The National Farmers'

:13:20.:13:24.

Union in Somerset says the fact that no one was hurt in confrontations

:13:24.:13:29.

shows the cull was carried out safely. On the ground, I think it

:13:29.:13:34.

has gone as well as anyone could have hoped. There have been arrests,

:13:34.:13:40.

three in Somerset and 18 in Gloucestershire. The cull is over

:13:40.:13:44.

here in Somerset, it started later in Gloucestershire and still has a

:13:44.:13:50.

week to run. Only then will the department start analysing

:13:50.:13:53.

statistics and working out whether it is over here in Somerset, it

:13:53.:13:55.

started later in Gloucestershire and still has a week to run. Only then

:13:55.:13:58.

will the department start analysing statistics and working out whether

:13:58.:14:00.

and if the pilot was a success and whether it can be rolled out across

:14:00.:14:03.

other parts of the country. I am told a pronouncement on that is

:14:03.:14:11.

still many weeks away. Much of the region's rich and varied past has

:14:11.:14:14.

been preserved on film thanks to the South West Film and Television

:14:14.:14:17.

Archive. It's celebrating its 20th year and the collection includes

:14:17.:14:20.

more than forty thousands items from the old Westward Television and its

:14:20.:14:23.

successor TSW. But despite preserving the past, the archive is

:14:23.:14:26.

also looking to the future. It is about to be forced out of its

:14:26.:14:30.

current home which is due to be redeveloped. John Danks has been

:14:30.:14:33.

finding out what it will mean for the collection. The Melville

:14:33.:14:44.

building in Plymouth has been home to one of the largest regional film

:14:44.:14:49.

archives in the UK for 15 years. Next spring, work is due to start to

:14:49.:14:54.

convert this blog into a boutique hotel. This means that all of these

:14:54.:15:02.

films will need to move —— block. We are talking to the landlords and the

:15:02.:15:08.

council. The council is a key partner for us with plans for the

:15:08.:15:14.

history centre. Hopefully, we will be able to engineer some sort of

:15:14.:15:22.

solution. There are more than 43,000 items here, each one telling a

:15:22.:15:29.

story. This new script from 1963 talks of Penzance being battered by

:15:29.:15:35.

gales. There were interviews with one or two famous faces. I did not

:15:35.:15:42.

really collapse. That was the naughty newspapers. I had a bit of

:15:42.:15:51.

the flu. I am fine. Some of the boast in treating images are those

:15:51.:15:56.

captured by amateur film—makers. This one shows a Thatcher at work in

:15:56.:16:03.

the 1930s. Caught on camera by a major bid —— got a shopkeeper from

:16:03.:16:08.

Turow. This oddity seems to show a feature film made on a beach in

:16:08.:16:13.

Cornwall, the scene was shot by a holiday—maker from London who also

:16:13.:16:24.

filmed these fish in the 1930s. —— fishermen. The Southwest film and

:16:24.:16:28.

television archive could eventually live here. The council is bidding

:16:28.:16:33.

for funding to help build a new history centre on the site of the

:16:33.:16:38.

city's Museum. Even if it does get funded, the new building will not be

:16:38.:16:43.

ready for another four years. The archives are one of our key

:16:43.:16:49.

partners. We planned to build a state of the art centre and they are

:16:49.:16:54.

one of our key partners. They are safe. We will be working with them

:16:54.:17:00.

to find temporary accommodation. Reassuring news perhaps for the

:17:00.:17:05.

staff and volunteers who work here. While the archive celebrates its

:17:05.:17:10.

20th year, this little chap is on hand should any bunny hops be

:17:10.:17:19.

needed. Lovely to see him again. I grew up watching him! Time for the

:17:19.:17:26.

sport now and Dave's here with news of a great weekend for the city of

:17:26.:17:31.

Exeter. Exeter City completed the first part of a double success for

:17:31.:17:34.

the city's clubs. They overcame Devon rivals Plymouth Argyle by

:17:34.:17:37.

three goals to one at St James Park after a goalless first half. So

:17:37.:17:41.

elation for the home fans, but despair for the away supporters.

:17:41.:17:42.

This is how they saw the derby. A fantastic game. A very bad side.

:17:42.:17:59.

They will be disappointed. What about the goals? I loved them. I

:18:00.:18:08.

could not watch at 1—1. I Facebook. It was a fantastic game and we

:18:08.:18:12.

deserved the win. I did not think it was a good performance. At least two

:18:13.:18:18.

of the girls worked as a result of terrible defending. There was not

:18:18.:18:27.

much in the way of tackling. —— girl —— goals. We had a class act up

:18:27.:18:41.

front. It was a cool finish. We followed Plymouth Argyle and it was

:18:41.:18:45.

one of the worst sides we had seen for a long time. Very disappointed.

:18:45.:18:51.

I think we scored three very good goals. They were good goals. I'm

:18:51.:19:05.

very proud of the players. We played well. We lost the game, though. We

:19:05.:19:12.

are not winning football matches and we need to. We need to stay

:19:12.:19:19.

together. The performance was OK, but it was very poignant.

:19:19.:19:24.

Yeovil Town and Torquay United both had days to forget. Gary Johnson's

:19:24.:19:29.

Glovers are still without a Championship win since the opening

:19:29.:19:32.

day in August. Although they took an early lead at Middlesbrough through

:19:32.:19:35.

Liam Davis, that was soon wiped out and they eventually ended up on the

:19:35.:19:39.

wrong end of a four—one battering. Yeovil are in the bottom three and

:19:39.:19:43.

now have a two week break to re—group due to World Cup

:19:43.:19:45.

qualifiers. In League Two, Torquay United are now fourth from the

:19:45.:19:49.

bottom after York City inflicted a three—nil defeat on them at

:19:49.:19:51.

Plainmoor. United conceded all three goals in the second half, the third

:19:51.:19:55.

scored by ex—Gulls striker Ryan Jarvis. Exeter Chiefs have gone up

:19:55.:20:09.

to sixth in rugby's Aviva Premiership after a fine 29—12 win

:20:09.:20:12.

at Gloucester. It was another strong display from the Chiefs forwards,

:20:12.:20:15.

with number eight Dave Ewers again catching the eye. He outplayed his

:20:15.:20:18.

opposite number, England's Ben Morgan, and enhanced HIS chances of

:20:18.:20:21.

perhaps coming to the notice of England selectors. Ben White and

:20:21.:20:24.

skipper Dean Mumm scored Exeter's tries with Gareth Steenson

:20:24.:20:26.

contributing 19 points with his boot. Plymouth Raiders have won

:20:26.:20:38.

their first basketball league match of the season, beating former

:20:38.:20:41.

champions Newcastle Eagles in overtime. They were behind at the

:20:41.:20:44.

halfway point of their BBL Championship match at the Pavilions.

:20:44.:20:47.

But they managed to level matters at the end of regulation time. The

:20:47.:20:50.

contest went into overtime and Raiders pushed their noses in front

:20:50.:20:58.

to win 89—87. Finally, cricketing twins Craig and Jamie Overton from

:20:58.:21:01.

Northam near Bideford, have signed three year extensions to their

:21:01.:21:03.

contracts at Somerset. The 19—year—olds have both gone on to

:21:03.:21:06.

play for England Lions, while Jamie was in the England One—Day squad

:21:06.:21:16.

against Australia this summer. Well done to them! We are staying with

:21:16.:21:22.

sport. A British Olympian and celebrity ski jumper have been

:21:22.:21:25.

helping to celebrate the 50th birthday of Torquay's dry ski slope.

:21:25.:21:28.

It was Britain's first purpose built outdoor ski run when it opened in

:21:28.:21:31.

October 1963. Since then thousands of people have learned to ski there,

:21:31.:21:35.

with many going on to great things. Spotlight's Carole Madge donned her

:21:35.:21:48.

salopettes to bring us the story. Skiing on upturned toothbrushes for

:21:48.:21:58.

50 years. These racers are enjoying the legacy of the small band of

:21:58.:22:02.

passionate skiers whose pioneering vision began the dry ski scope ——

:22:02.:22:16.

dry ski slope movement. That tiny strip of plastic has grown up and

:22:16.:22:20.

who better to help celebrate than our own three times Olympian, Chemmy

:22:20.:22:25.

Alcott? To be honest, I am such a born competitor, when I see people

:22:26.:22:30.

knocking down gates, I want to be doing that! I am very jealous of

:22:30.:22:37.

these guys. Look who has also dropped in? You might not recognise

:22:37.:22:40.

him, but you will probably remember the name, Eddie 'The Eagle'

:22:40.:22:45.

Edwards. I loved every single minute of being on skis, or whether it was

:22:45.:22:51.

alpine racing, or in Gloucester or racing internationally, I would love

:22:51.:22:56.

to do it all again. Thanks to the pioneers here he will not have to go

:22:56.:23:02.

far to get the chance. No self—respecting reporter could

:23:02.:23:04.

possibly come here without giving it a go. OK, so this might take a

:23:04.:23:12.

while. Talk amongst yourselves. It is a great sport to do. It is

:23:12.:23:21.

amazing. I have been racing since I was 12. It is all down to this club

:23:21.:23:29.

supporting me and coaching me every Monday night. I do not think we will

:23:29.:23:36.

trouble the electronic scoreboard with this run. I did not fall over!

:23:36.:23:45.

I think I was beaten by a ten—year—old! Who knows? Some of

:23:45.:23:49.

these children might even be here to celebrate the centenary of the club.

:23:49.:23:58.

She did really well! She is a good skier. When does a red squirrel

:23:58.:24:03.

become a flying squirrel? A colony of the endangered animals have left
