Aguero after injury against Asil Nadir, the businessman who ran | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
the high profile Polly Peck empire in the 80s and early 90s, has been | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
found guilty of theft. A jury at the Old Bailey has reached verdicts | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
on three counts of stealing millions from his own companies, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
and has yet to make up its mind on a further nine counts. Asil Nadir | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
was accused of fraud after the company collapsed 20 years ago. He | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
fled the country but returned two years ago to face justice. Our | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
Legal Correspondent is at the Old Bailey for us now. After a seven- | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
month trial, as in the D-lock -- Asil Nadir stood motionless in the | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
dock. A man who had extraordinary business success during the 1980s, | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
has become a convicted criminal. Arriving at court this morning, at | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
the end of an investigation and prosecution that has taken over 20 | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
years. Asil Nadir has been found guilty of stealing millions from | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
the company he built. Polly Peck became Polly Peck International plc. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
In 1980 he paid nearly �300,000 for a stake in a small textiles company | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
called Polly Peck. 10 years later, it had 200 subsidiaries worldwide, | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:16. | ||
By 1990, Polly Peck was worth �2 billion. Things started to go wrong | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
for Asil Nadir that year. The Serious Fraud Office raided both | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
his and Polly Peck's offices in Mayfair. It was investigating | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
allegations of insider trading. After the first raid, the share | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
price collapsed. The company went into administration and in December | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
1990, Asil Nadir was arrested. He was eventually charged with 13 | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
counts of theft, amounting to �34 million, from Polly Peck | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
International. Today, the jury found him not guilty on one count, | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
of stealing �2.5 million. But so far, it has found him guilty of the | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
theft of �1.3 million used to support the Polly Peck's share | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
price. �1 million used to buy antiques. And 3.2 5 million which | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
went to multiple destinations and companies. The man who had | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
everything, and epitomise the growth and success of a decade, has | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
lost it all. Nine account still to go, what has | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
been his defence? -- nine accounts. He never denied that he took after | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
amount of cash from Polly Peck business accounts in London, but | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
his defence was a simple one, but before any money went from London, | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
he had put a similar amount of money into Polly Peck's bank | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
accounts in northern Cyprus. So they could never have been any | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
theft. He was saying, don't accuse me of taking �10 from the cash till | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
when I have just put �10 in. In relation to those three counts on | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
which she was found guilty, the jury simply didn't believe that. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Tomorrow they continue their deliberations into the remaining | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
nine counts. Thank you. The Duke of Edinburgh has left | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after spending five nights there. Prince | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Philip, who is 91, has been treated for the recurrence of a bladder | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
infection. Doctors have said he should rest. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
This report contains some flash photography. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Wondering, perhaps, why they had been quite such a fuss over a non- | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
life-threatening condition, and with a spot of advice of his own. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Behave yourselves, if you missed it. The Duke of Edinburgh thank some of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
the staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary who have looked after him | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
since his admission last week, before heading off with a wave for | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
the 50 mile drive to the Royal family's estate at Balmoral. It was | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
during a short visit to Cowes on the Isle of Wight that doctors | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
diagnosed a recurrence of the bladder infection that had | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
hospitalised him in June. The Duke had appeared in good health at a | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
garden party in Balmoral. He was told to rest while doctors at | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary treated the affection with antibiotics. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
This was not a critical health scare. The rest of the Royal Family | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
carried on with their holiday routine as normal, attending church | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
yesterday. But it is the third time in eight months that the Duke has | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
had to receive hospital treatment. The incident that was life | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
threatening was two days before Christmas last year, when he was | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
taken by helicopter to a hospital near Cambridge to be treated for a | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
blocked coronary artery. On that occasion, the Queen and the | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
couple's children were at his bedside within 24 hours. Today, the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Duke has emerged after a short stay in hospital, returning this time to | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
the one place where the Royal Family really can rest and | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
recuperate, their estate at Balmoral. It will be there, amid | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
the tranquillity of Royal Deeside, that the Duke will have a chance to | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
rest. The last time he was hospitalised, engine, it was in the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
middle of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. -- in June. This time | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
:07:13. | :07:14. | ||
there will be a better opportunity A boy who slipped off the end of -- | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
the search for a boy who set off the end of a jetty in Somerset has | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
been called off. His parents try to rescue him when he fell into the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
water yesterday but they could not reach him and they had to be pulled | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
from the see themselves. Even as the dozens of rescue | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
workers set off from here at 4 o'clock am this morning, they did | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
so with heavy hearts, knowing the chances of finding the 4-year-old | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
alive were already wrote. -- remote. Sure enough, the change was turned | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
into a search for his body -- the search was turned into. The day at | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
the seaside ended in tragedy, the little boys were put out to sea, | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
now missing presumed drowned. Today, his family could only watch | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
helplessly. Hovercrafts scoured the mud flaps. More than 50 personnel | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
have been involved in this increasingly desperate operation. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
Because God, the police, and everybody involved in this, | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
including the public, absolutely fantastic. My heart goes out to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
them, they have done a thoroughly recommended job and the couldn't | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
wish for any more. The search began yesterday evening after Dylan's | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
slip of the end of this jetty, he was immediately subject -- Dylan | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
slipped off this jetty and was immediately submerged. They were | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
frantically trying to swim but the current was really bad and they | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
were drifting either way. The life ring was thrown into both of them | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
and used to pull them out. The father was pulled onto the beach. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
The mother was pulled back on to the jetty. The waters in this area | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
are notoriously treacherous. There are warning signs. Dylan's family | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
were visiting from the Midlands and wouldn't have local knowledge. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
current that runs across this jetty is quite strong, up to four or five | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
knots. The water is turbulent, it is impossible to see through it -- | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
the water is turgid. One of those involved probably rescue workers | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
had been deeply affected. It is the worst possible thing. It is a | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
terrible tragedy and it is in everyone's minds. Emotion shared by | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
many who had been watching the search from the seafront. A search | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
that appears to have ended in failure. The final search team | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
returned about an hour and a half ago. Dylan's family are still here, | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
A police in Leeds investigating a hit and run which left two children | :10:07. | :10:12. | |

It is the stuff dreams are made of and the numbers came good for a | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
great-grandmother in Oldham. But Maureen Holt and her husband Fred | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
had no idea, and asked a shop worker to check their tickets. He | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
lied and said it was worthless. am hurt because I thought he was | :11:13. | :11:23. | |
our friend. He was so pleasant. To do that, it is unbelievable. | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
were very disappointed. Farrakh Nizzar worked here. Inside he | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
scanned the winning ticket and offered to put it in the bin. The | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
truth is that the ticket was worth �1 million. Farrakh Nizzar wanted | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
the jackpot all to himself. But Camelot became suspicious and | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
discovered the ticket was actually bought here, using Maureen hold's | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
loyalty card. But can't get it through my head, I can't believe it. | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
But you have won? That is right. I wake up in the morning and think I | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
am dreaming. It is a dream, isn't it? Today, Farrakh Nizzar, whose | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
nickname was lucky, was jailed for 2 1/2 years. Maureen and Fred have | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
finally got their cheques and say they will spend money on their | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Tributes to Tony Scott have been pouring in after the British | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Orritor was found dead last night. He had jumped off a bridge in Los | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Angeles -- the British director. Police are treating his death as | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
suicide. Gradually from North Shields, he shot to fame with a | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
string of blockbusters including Top Gun, Days Of Thunder and True | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Romance. Tony Scott was born in North | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Shields but made his name in Hollywood as one of the most | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:01. | ||
You two characters are going to Top Gun. Directing and producing some | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
of the household names, he had big blockbusting commercial hits. The | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
biggest was Top Gun, in 1986, starring Tom Cruise. A classic film, | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
which launched Tony Scott's career as a big money action movie | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
director. He there was talk of a Top Gun II, bringing actor and | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
director together again many years later. It was 1230 in the afternoon | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
when Tony Scott came here, to the port of Los Angeles. A long way | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
from his home in Beverly Hills. He drove on to the highest point of | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
the bridge, stopped his car and climbed over the fence. Witnesses | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
say he did not hesitate before throwing himself into the harbour | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
below. It took police divers more than two-and-a-half hours to find | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
his body. A note had been left in his car, another at his office. The | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
coroner said there was nothing to suggest this wasn't a suicide. This | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
was a teenage Tony Scott in his native north-east, starring in boy | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
on a bicycle, one of the first movies filmed by his older brother, | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
Ridley Scott, and even more well known Oscar-nominated director. | :14:18. | :14:25. | |

reproduced prime-time American TV dramas and movies, -- he produced. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Often in collaboration with his brother. Keira Knightley, who | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
worked with him on Domino, said he was one of the most extraordinarily | :14:58. | :15:07. | |
There were many tributes. He was at the top of his game, the master of | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
his craft and it is very sad that the Academy Awards and the BAFTA | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
awards don't really give awards to somebody who's a bit of a genius in | :15:18. | :15:23. | |

The time has just gone 6.15pm. Our top story tonight: | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Asil Nadir, the businessman who ran the high-profile Polly Peck empire | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
in the '80s and early '90s, has been found guilty of theft. | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Coming up: It's back. Dallas, the show that | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
gripped audiences around the world, returns to TV, but what brought JR | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:05. | ||
out of retirement? Uh, money - always good to change your mind. | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
Later on BBC London News, new rules to control street fundraisers, but | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
will regulation make so-called chugers less persistent. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
And a look back on the birth of the Paralympics and how the Games have | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
grown, all to come in 15 minutes. The wife of a high-ranking Chinese | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
politician has been given a suspended death sentence for the | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
murder of the British businessman Neil Heywood. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Gu Kailai admitted poisoning him in a hotel room in Chongqing last | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
November. Revelations of her role in the murder led to the downfall | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
of her husband, who was once seen as a leading figure in the | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Communist Party. Our China correspondent Damian Grammaticus | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:56. | ||
reports. The lawyers ran the gauntlet today. This has been | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
China's most sensational case in decades - the murder of a British | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
man by one of China's most powerful women. Gu Kailai's crime has | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
already cost her husband, one of the Communist Party's most senior | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
figures, his job and plunged the party into crisis. She's confessed | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
to poisoning Neil Heywood. Today the judges confirmed her guilt. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Usually that would mean execution, but she's powerful and well | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
connected. The death penalty was suspended. The judges said she'd | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
suffered a breakdown and wasn't in control of her actions. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
TRANSLATION: This verdict is just. It shows special respect for the | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
law, reality and life. British Embassy officials looked on as an | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
element of theatre tulle of this. The Communist Party controls the | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
courts, decides the outcomes. The embassy gave the result a guarded | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
welcome. Then, the lawyer representing Neil | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Heywood's family emerged. Excuse me. Is this a result that'll | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
please the Neil Heywood family? "I don't know," he said. Neil Heywood | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
was lives in China doing business trading on his connection to the | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
powerful politician Bo Xilai making deals for Gu Kailai. The two fell | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
out over a property venture. Neil Heywood demanded millions he'd been | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
promised. She lured him here, got him drunk and poured cyanide | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
hydrochloride into his mouth. What the trial didn't address were the | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
most sensitive questions of the death. It triggered China's biggest | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
political scandal in years because of the light it's thrown on | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
corruption and abuse of power at the top of the Communist Party. | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
Did her husband, Bo Xilai, have any link to the crime or the attempted | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
cover-up? He's vanished, detained by the Party, held in secret while | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
it decides what to do with him. He was hoping to join the ranks of | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
these men, the top of the polit bureau who run China when new | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
leaders are selected in the autumn, but they've cast him aside. Some | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
here are outraged that Gu Kailai has escaped the death penalty. What | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
the Communist Party wants is a tidy, quick end to this crisis to ensure | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
nothing disrupts the coming leadership change. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Striking workers at a mine in South Africa where 34 employees were shot | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
dead last week have been given a further day to return to their jobs. | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Their employer, the British company LonMin, had said it would dismiss | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
all those who failed to show up today, but has now extended the | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
deadline after talks with unions. The owners of dangerous dogs which | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
attack people will face tougher penalties from today. The new | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
guidelines will mean the maximum prison sentence will be raised from | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
12 to 18 months in England and Wales, and there could also be a | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
lifetime ban on keeping dogs. Our UK affairs correspondent Chris | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
Buckler reports. Dogs can be dangerous, and the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
responsibility is an owner's to ensure that people are kept safe. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
That's a message that judges are being told to reinforce from today | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
through tougher sentences for people who keep banned breeds or | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
let their pets injure or maim. John Paul Massey was just four years old | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
when he was mauled to death by his uncle's pit bull terrier. Your life | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
is one way. Within seconds you have lost everything. John Paul's mother | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
believes more needs to be done to change the attitude of those who | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
see these dogs as some sort of status symbol. A lot of people who | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
have pets like we did don't want to recognise the danger because you | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
don't think it's going to happen to you when it does. $people who have | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
dangerous dogs, so therefore I don't think the tougher jail | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
sentence is going to matter that much. According to the Government | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
in England, there are over 200,000 attacks by dogs every year. The new | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
sentencing guidance recommends up to 18 months in prison for anyone | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
who allows their dog to injure someone in public. That's about a | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
six-month increase on practising. The guidelines in England and Wales | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
says owners who have banned dogs should be given up to six months in | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
jail. With the vast increase in the numbers of offences coming before | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
the court and more serious ones, there was an appetite for more | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
serious sentence to be imposed. Dogs can be brutal. This police | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
officer was one of five injured earlier this year as they tried to | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
search a house in East London, and many owners say the way an animal | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
is trained and treated will decide how it behaves. It depends on the | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
dog, and mostly because of the - depends on the owner. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
He's amazing with the kids. There are people who would say, listen, | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
you shouldn't have a dog unsupervised with kids. I don't | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
have it unsupervised. I am there. Most pets will remain on their best | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
behaviour, but their owners face a greater threat of jail if they | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
don't. Cricket, and England have lost | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
their ranking as the world's number one Test side after losing by 51 | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
runs in the third Test to South Africa. Andrew Strauss' side missed | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
their target of 346 to win despite a valiant effort by Matt Prior, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
Jonathan Trott and Jonny Bairstow. Our sports correspondent James | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
Pearce is at Lords for us. In the end, was it close, James? | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
It was much closer than South Africa would have liked. It was a | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
thrilling finish to what has been a truly outstanding series with the | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
world's best two teams. No-one paid more than �20 to come in here today. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
They all had a bargain. For cricket fans, the Lord's bell provides one | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
of the sounds of summer, but just as the season is drawing to a close, | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
so, it seemed, was England's reigns a the world's best team. Two | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
wickets down before the start of play, the hosts were always up | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
against it. Edged - oh, he's got it on the second grab. Bell's early | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
departure made the job even more difficult. Defeat, then, looked | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
inevitable when some chaotic running cost England another wicket | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
before they'd even reached 50. Taylor and Trott had already taken | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
three. Taylor wanted a fourth. The result: a long walk back to the | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
pavilion. That wasn't in the batting coaching's manual, but this | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
was. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
That's gone a long way. England by this stage six Wecht wickets down | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
took the only option available - they hit out. Even then, it looked | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
to be a forlorn run chase when Stuart Broad was caught on a | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
boundary and England still needed another 138 to win. Graeme Swann, | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
though, had other ideas. The ball was being dispatched all over the | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
ground, but England couldn't quite reach their target. Prior's was the | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
ninth wicket to fall. Agony and ecstasy captured together in the | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
stands. Moments later the South African celebrations could begin in | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
earnest. They'd beaten England by 51 runs and won the series 2-0. A | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
disappointing end for England. Couple of hours this afternoon, it | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
really looked as though they could make history with the highest ever | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
run chase here at Lord's, but now having lost that number one Test | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
ranking they head to Sri Lanka next month hoping to hold on to | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
something else - that's the Twenty/20 World Cup. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Thank you very much. It was the hit of the '80s, the | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
must-watch TV series with unforgettable characters like JR | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
and his wife Sue Ellen. Now after 21 years, the all American soap | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Dallas is making a comeback. Many of the orginal cast - including | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Larry Hagman and Linda Gray - are returning for the new show. But can | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
it win over a new generation of fans? Lizo Mzimba has been finding | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
:25:07. | :25:07. | ||
It was probably the biggest show of the 1980s. Now Dallas, together | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
with its most famous star, is back. Larry Hagman's reasons - not unlike | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
those that motivated J using himself... Money - always good to | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
change your mind. Also, what made you think their | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
approach with this was right for you so you wanted to be involved? | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Well, the thing was to integrate the children and make them | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
acceptable and interesting, and that will be the main focus of it, | :25:35. | :25:44. | |
I'm sure, eventually. It's part of TV history. The "Who shot JR" story | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
line attracted an worldwide audience in excess of a hundred | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
million. So for its new main star, the expectation to deliver is | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
considerable. How much pressure do you feel? When I got the show, it | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
was a - it was - I was excited, but I was also very intimidated knowing | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
we're bringing back a show that was such a big deal and so well | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
perceived, so I knew there was probably also a lot of expectation | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
as to who was JR and Sue Ellen's son now? John Ross, I know I had | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
made mistakes. Some are sceptical about the wisdom of bringing back | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
such a well-loved show. The new version will inevitably be | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
forensically compared with its former self and I am afraid will | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
almost certainly be found wanting. That's the problem. It won't be as | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
good as it used to be. Of course, ultimately, it will be the viewers | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
who decide whether it really can attract a new audience of 21st | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
century fans. I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over | :26:50. | :26:59. | |
Time for the weather now. Not a bad day for most parts of the | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
UK, but there have been one or two exceptions. Sunshine breaking over | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
nicely across England and Wales, but clear spells mean it will turn | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
misty overnight. We have had showers developing recently | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
particularly across Scotland, where they're going to be thundery for a | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
time. They should ease overnight, so most places ending up dry for | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
the early hour of the morning. It's not autumn yet. Don't worry. | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Temperatures ending up in the mid teens most places. Muggy in the | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
south-east. Tomorrow, showers get going across Scotland and Northern | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
Ireland, western England and Wales as well. Further east, a better | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
chance of staying dry, but disappointingly cloudy for a good | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
part of the day. A good sharp shower across many parts of Wales, | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
but you could manage to stay dry. You could catch a downpour across | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland for the afternoon - enough to cause one | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
or two problems. As we come further south we lose the heaviest of the | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
showers. The odd sharp shower across north-west England. Come | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
further south-east, you're back into the dry conditions again - | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
almost dry. I can't rule out a spot or two of rain from the cloud in | :28:11. | :28:19. | |
East Anglia - annoying rather than anything else. Temperatures | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
struggling a bit under the cloud. One or two heavy showers in the | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
north-west. Wednesday, the further north and west you are, a shower, | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
the further north and east, more sunshine. Into Thursday, again, | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
it's southern and eastern glears get the best of the deal in terms | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
of sunshine, but notice rain beginning to gather in the west. | :28:41. | :28:47. |
