:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to the programme. On BBC Points West tonight:
:00:17. > :00:22.Fighting fuel poverty - a charity warns one in four of us will soon
:00:22. > :00:30.be struggling to heat our home. Fitting like a glove - a Swindon
:00:30. > :00:34.schoolgirl becomes the youngest in Europe to be given bionic fingers.
:00:34. > :00:38.I did not think that it would move as well as it does. I did not think
:00:38. > :00:48.I would get as much good use out of Also tonight, the average age of
:00:48. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:53.farmers is now 60. How do we tempt the next generation onto the land?
:00:53. > :00:56.And I'm afraid this patient will not make it. The doors of this
:00:56. > :01:00.hospital will be closing for the last time because the BBC drama
:01:00. > :01:07.Casualty has filmed its last scenes in Bristol. Get these medical notes
:01:07. > :01:14.to Cardiff as soon as possible! Cardiff? Fetch and carry, fetch and
:01:14. > :01:16.carry. Good evening. There's a chilling
:01:16. > :01:20.warning tonight about the effect rising fuel prices are having here
:01:20. > :01:26.in the West. Figures show that a quarter of us could soon be living
:01:26. > :01:29.in fuel poverty. That means we spend more than 10% of our
:01:29. > :01:33.household income on trying to keep warm. And as more energy companies
:01:33. > :01:36.put their prices up, one charity here is warning of the dire effects
:01:36. > :01:39.that expensive bills can have. Steve Knibbs reports.
:01:39. > :01:47.The north Cotswolds - the very image of affluence and prosperity.
:01:47. > :01:49.Hardly, you'd think, a place where people worry about keeping warm.
:01:49. > :01:53.With 61,000 people in Gloucestershire struggling to pay
:01:53. > :01:57.their heating bills, it is often in areas like this where living and
:01:57. > :02:01.transport costs are higher anyway, at fuel poverty can strike just as
:02:01. > :02:04.hard as in the towns and cities. George Hill is on a state pension
:02:04. > :02:10.and spends nearly 20% of it on heating alone. And this year's
:02:10. > :02:15.harsh winter gave him some tough choices. It did get to the stage at
:02:15. > :02:21.one point where we thought would we be able to turn the heating up,
:02:21. > :02:26.because the oil tank was getting low and it was expensive. �300 a
:02:26. > :02:30.time to half fill it. We wondered if we would get through it. That
:02:30. > :02:33.was very difficult. So George is taking drastic action. His old
:02:33. > :02:37.electric fire is up for sale and he's installed a log burner. He
:02:37. > :02:42.claims it'll save him a quarter on his bills. But for others with no
:02:42. > :02:47.alternative, expensive heating bills can have a dramatic effect.
:02:47. > :02:50.You find that when fuel prices go up, people get colder, and in
:02:50. > :02:53.vulnerable households, with elderly people or young children, that can
:02:53. > :02:57.be bad for their health and well- being because people do not like to
:02:57. > :02:59.invite people round to a cold home. Debt advisor Garry Mills is seeing
:02:59. > :03:02.more people through his doors worrying about the prices rises.
:03:02. > :03:08.The energy companies blame wholesale costs but Garry says the
:03:08. > :03:12.customer should take more control. We have got to say, excuse me, I
:03:12. > :03:16.can get is more cost effectively elsewhere. Are you prepared to
:03:16. > :03:19.price match or undercut to keep me as a customer? Everybody watching
:03:19. > :03:22.this programme is a customer and it is about time the customers rose up
:03:23. > :03:25.and said the customer is King. Charities are warning that there's
:03:25. > :03:29.no room for complacency. The Centre for Sustainable Energy believes a
:03:29. > :03:35.quarter of us in the west will be in fuel poverty by the end of the
:03:35. > :03:38.year. Well, earlier I spoke to the MP for
:03:38. > :03:45.Somerton and Frome, David Heath, who told me he has been raising his
:03:46. > :03:48.concerns about the cost of fuel for years. I actually brought in a
:03:48. > :03:52.private member's bill a few years ago to try to make sure that the
:03:52. > :03:56.then Government did something about it. I am afraid that they decided
:03:56. > :03:59.they did not want that bill at the time but I think it is a very big
:03:59. > :04:05.problem and we have to redress that. You are pushing the Government to
:04:05. > :04:09.help people protect their homes from fuel poverty. Is that the
:04:09. > :04:16.issue or is it with the energy companies now? I think there are
:04:16. > :04:21.three things. First of all, the price of fuel. And how you can make
:04:21. > :04:24.sure that the tariffs are fair to the people that can least afford it.
:04:24. > :04:30.Secondly, I think you have to do something about the basic housing
:04:30. > :04:33.stock as well, to make them more energy-efficient. I think a lot of
:04:33. > :04:37.houses used an awful amount of energy that people simply cannot
:04:37. > :04:41.afford, through the walls, through the roof, through lack of
:04:41. > :04:46.insulation. The third thing you have to do is to make it easier for
:04:46. > :04:50.people to switch to companies which produce a better deal. At the
:04:50. > :04:59.moment, the so-called Big Six energy suppliers very often are not
:04:59. > :05:02.the cheapest tariffs on the market. A schoolgirl from Swindon has
:05:02. > :05:04.become the youngest in Europe to be fitted with bionic fingers. Chloe
:05:04. > :05:07.Holmes suffered septicaemia as a toddler and her hand was badly
:05:07. > :05:17.damaged. Now her life has been transformed after her family paid
:05:17. > :05:18.
:05:18. > :05:22.for a new set of digits. Sabet Choudhury reports. I did not think
:05:22. > :05:28.it would move as well as it does. I did not think I would get as much
:05:28. > :05:35.good use out of it, but I did. A simple sentence which says it all.
:05:35. > :05:38.15 year old Chloe Holmes has been given a new start in life. There
:05:38. > :05:46.are some sensors inside. It moves because it senses the movement but
:05:46. > :05:49.I don't really know how it works. Chloe lost her fingers as a toddler
:05:49. > :05:52.when she suffered from septicemia after she contracted chicken pox.
:05:52. > :05:57.And before the bionic fingers she wore this prosthetic hand. It made
:05:57. > :06:00.her school life very difficult. Well, but not where it very much
:06:00. > :06:07.because it is made of rubber. When I was writing, the ink used to come
:06:07. > :06:11.off on it. And it did not move, so it was quite frustrating. Not a day
:06:11. > :06:17.did not go by without tears coming or something because I could not do
:06:17. > :06:20.much, if you know what I mean. People used to stare when I walked
:06:21. > :06:24.down the corridor and then start shouting things, not very nice.
:06:24. > :06:29.Chloe's family paid for the �38,000 hand. It's made by Touch Bionic in
:06:29. > :06:38.Scotland. This is the 15 year old trying it on for the first time in
:06:38. > :06:43.their labs a few weeks ago. It has lifted her quite a lot. It is
:06:43. > :06:45.amazing what she can do with it. People used to stare for the wrong
:06:46. > :06:52.reasons when we went out as a family and now they stared in
:06:52. > :06:55.amazement. The next challenge for Chloe will be going back to school.
:06:55. > :07:00.I think I will get some staring but I will not mind because I really
:07:00. > :07:10.like it. The summer holidays is chance now for Chloe to experiment.
:07:10. > :07:23.
:07:23. > :07:26.Doing those simple things she never thought would be possible.
:07:26. > :07:30.Now, we all know we're going to have to work longer before we cash
:07:30. > :07:33.in our pensions but everyone has to retire sometime. When to do so is
:07:33. > :07:36.an issue for our farmers, most of whom are over 60. Their union's
:07:36. > :07:40.trying to entice more youngsters into the business, as Dickon Hooper
:07:40. > :07:44.reports. The land has been in my family for 100 years.
:07:44. > :07:47.And now it's been passed down to Julian Ridge. He took me to see his
:07:47. > :07:54.deer, which was very peaceful in the summer haze. I asked him about
:07:54. > :07:59.his plans for the future now he's past retirement age. I really don't
:07:59. > :08:03.know. It is a subject that we skirt round fairly frequently but we
:08:03. > :08:11.never come too many conclusions. What about your children? We have
:08:11. > :08:16.three. One is an army officer, one is a vet and another is a teacher
:08:16. > :08:19.and none of them see themselves becoming farmers. It is not just
:08:19. > :08:23.the farm equipment that has seen some good service. The average age
:08:23. > :08:27.of the farmer in the South West is 60, according to the Farmers' Union.
:08:27. > :08:31.They are trying to get more young people and apprentices involved
:08:31. > :08:34.because with the rising population, there is growing food demand that
:08:34. > :08:37.has to be met. They're working on that here, Cirencester's Royal
:08:37. > :08:45.Agricultural College. Full to bursting they say, with
:08:45. > :08:49.undergraduates, all with good job prospects. We see tremendous
:08:49. > :08:54.opportunities worldwide for people going into agricultural subject and
:08:54. > :09:00.food as well. I think we are looking for about 60,000 young
:09:00. > :09:03.people to be skilled to go into agriculture. Massive demand for
:09:03. > :09:06.skilled young people and tremendous opportunities. It is the world's
:09:06. > :09:09.biggest industry. Back on Manor Farm, that industry never really
:09:09. > :09:19.stops. But some farmers would perhaps like to. So is it time
:09:19. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:26.finally for that next generation to take over?
:09:26. > :09:28.Thanks for starting your weekend with us. It's Amanda and Chris with
:09:28. > :09:35.your Points West tonight.Ian will be here with the weekend weather
:09:35. > :09:38.soon. And we are in Bristol where a group of artists are creating the
:09:38. > :09:48.biggest ever street art project. You will have to wait a couple more
:09:48. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:54.minutes to find out how it turned out. We will be patient!
:09:54. > :09:58.The cast of the BBC drama Casualty are filming their last episode in
:09:58. > :10:00.Bristol today. The show's been made here for a quarter of a century but
:10:01. > :10:03.now production is moving to Wales. It'll mean no more familiar
:10:04. > :10:07.landmarks in the background but also a hit to the local economy,
:10:07. > :10:09.�25 million a year according to the City Council and South West Screen.
:10:09. > :10:15.Will Glennon reports. From the opening scenes of the very
:10:15. > :10:17.first episode, Casualty and Bristol have been inseparable. And 25 years
:10:17. > :10:20.after Charlie first appeared on the Clifton suspension bridge, actor
:10:20. > :10:30.Derek Thompson will reluctantly be heading to Cardiff with the rest of
:10:30. > :10:31.
:10:31. > :10:36.the cast. It is the longest I have spent anywhere in my life. I now
:10:36. > :10:43.consider myself to be an adopted Bostonian. In fact, my youngest boy
:10:43. > :10:47.was born here and he is a Bristol that. I love Bristol. I still feel
:10:47. > :10:51.sad that the show is leaving Bristol. To think that we are
:10:51. > :10:56.leaving Bristol, it is bittersweet. At the same time we are excited
:10:56. > :10:59.about the adventure we are about to take. Since 1987 the inside of
:10:59. > :11:09.Holby General Hospital has been a purpose-built warehouse in the St
:11:09. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:13.Phillips area. But Bristol's always been seen in the outdoor action.
:11:13. > :11:18.The BBC decided to move production to Cardiff. It's where Doctor Who's
:11:18. > :11:22.made and is now a highly regarded drama centre. It is not certain
:11:22. > :11:25.Bristol, it is set in a different town which is supposed to be
:11:25. > :11:28.anywhere in the UK. Stylistically it will be very similar. But it's
:11:28. > :11:31.not just cast and crew. It's all the associated businesses that feed
:11:31. > :11:41.off a year-long production. A recent report said it's worth �25
:11:41. > :11:47.million to the economy. The hotels that visiting crew and cast stay in,
:11:47. > :11:52.taxis, eating in local restaurants, local crew spent money in local
:11:52. > :11:55.shops. There is a ripple effect. You have the core amount of money
:11:55. > :11:58.that grows and grows. So the director has shouted cut for the
:11:58. > :12:00.last time in Bristol. Some memorabilia from the set is being
:12:00. > :12:04.auctioned online to raise money for Bristol Children's Hospital, but
:12:04. > :12:14.filming will continue in Cardiff. They're only halfway through series
:12:14. > :12:20.
:12:20. > :12:28.26. The hospital may be moving but Casualty will continue. Now Astoria
:12:28. > :12:32.bravery against impossible odds. -- a story of bravery. The battle when
:12:32. > :12:35.nine SAS operative store, best guerrilla army in the Middle East,
:12:35. > :12:41.an army of 400 men, trained and armed by the Russians and the
:12:41. > :12:47.Chinese. The year was 1972 and the country was Oman. If the SAS had
:12:47. > :12:51.failed, then plans for a Communist foothold in the Middle East would
:12:51. > :12:57.have succeeded. Oman would have been seized and with it the gateway
:12:57. > :13:04.for 90% of the world's oil. The West could have been held to ransom.
:13:04. > :13:08.Amazingly, it Roger up was one of the amazing soldiers involved. He
:13:08. > :13:13.has written a book about it and he joins us now. This is the stuff of
:13:13. > :13:17.movies, nine against 400, protecting oil and fighting the
:13:17. > :13:22.Communists. What can you remember about how it felt? This belief that
:13:22. > :13:26.first. We never trained for that. Being SAS, you do not train for
:13:26. > :13:32.infantry battles. To be rudely awakened at 5 o'clock in the
:13:32. > :13:37.morning with 400 people coming at you, it kind of gives you age-old!
:13:37. > :13:41.What did you do and how did you manage? It was strange. There was
:13:41. > :13:46.not much panic. Everybody had their own job to do but we were thin on
:13:46. > :13:52.the ground. One guy was firing the �25 a, another was firing the
:13:52. > :13:56.mortar and I was firing a machine gun. We had an altar gun that
:13:56. > :14:00.packed up after a bit. You would have thought the numbers would have
:14:00. > :14:04.overwhelmed you. Yes, but we had our backs to the sea and we were
:14:04. > :14:08.completely surrounded with no way out so we had to stand and fight.
:14:08. > :14:15.Why don't we know about this even now? I know at the time it had to
:14:15. > :14:19.be kept secret? It was kept secret and the war ended. We actually won
:14:19. > :14:23.it. It took us five years and we went into that country and
:14:23. > :14:30.Communists were ruling 90% of it. We liberated that country with less
:14:30. > :14:35.than 200 soldiers in five years. is thanks to action like yours. But
:14:35. > :14:41.you must have felt scared during this. As professionals, you get
:14:41. > :14:45.into it and get working, and people often say that. But the job in hand
:14:45. > :14:50.is so important. It is likely when uses breaking. You get concentrated
:14:50. > :14:55.and you have not got time to think about it. Thank goodness people do
:14:55. > :15:02.not shoot at us! Why have you decided to tell the story now?
:15:02. > :15:07.believe there is an injustice done. The Fiji man fired a 25 pounds gun
:15:07. > :15:11.over open sights for an hour on his own. The man that try to help him
:15:11. > :15:16.was injured. Then his friend came to help him and he was only there
:15:16. > :15:19.for 10 minutes and he took five rounds. You are trying to honour
:15:19. > :15:28.them and you want special recognition for their work? Yes.
:15:28. > :15:31.That is very generous of you and good luck with the campaign.
:15:32. > :15:34.Holes appearing in our roads is a common problem but when one Points
:15:35. > :15:37.West viewer sent this picture, we decided to dig a little deeper.
:15:37. > :15:42.This is the hole that appeared in Oldville Avenue in Clevedon and
:15:42. > :15:48.this picture of Cyril Derby shows just how deep it was. He could
:15:48. > :15:51.almost get his entire arm down it. Cyril and his wife Carol tried to
:15:51. > :15:55.get North Somerset Council to do something about it and then got in
:15:55. > :16:02.touch with the BBC. Thankfully we can report that the hole has now
:16:02. > :16:05.been filled in. And there are some unusual road
:16:05. > :16:08.problems in Bristol too. Double yellow lines have been painted
:16:08. > :16:10.right across a T-junction near the Clifton Suspension Bridge. People
:16:10. > :16:13.living on Sion Hill are upset that tarmac's been poured over
:16:13. > :16:23.cobblestone gutters and they claim contractors have ruined their
:16:23. > :16:24.
:16:25. > :16:29.conservation area. Now, football rivals Swindon and
:16:29. > :16:39.Oxford meet for the first time in almost a decade this weekend. With
:16:39. > :16:42.all the sport it's David Passmore. Hi. They've been waiting since the
:16:42. > :16:45.8th December 2002. That was the last time the sides met. But the
:16:45. > :16:48.passing of time has done nothing to reduce one of the sharpest
:16:48. > :16:52.rivalries in the country. Kick-off has been moved to 1 o'clock on
:16:52. > :16:56.Sunday and fans are asked to arrive early. Upwards of 100 officers will
:16:56. > :16:59.be there supported by mounted police from the Thames Valley force.
:16:59. > :17:05.The 3,000 away tickets have sold out and no tickets are on sale on
:17:06. > :17:10.the day. 160 club stewards will be on duty. Special coaches and a
:17:10. > :17:18.train have been laid on and there's designated parking for away fans.
:17:18. > :17:22.But why have clubs 30 miles apart always been such fierce rivals?
:17:22. > :17:25.Through the years, the games have been passionate affairs. Large
:17:25. > :17:28.crowds with a police presence to match. The build-up to this game
:17:28. > :17:38.saw vandals break into the Oxford ground and daub the initials STFC
:17:38. > :17:38.
:17:38. > :17:42.on the pitch last weekend. When people stop you in the town every
:17:43. > :17:45.day talking about Oxford, Oxford... Swindon's new manager is used to
:17:45. > :17:55.the passion of Italian football and has no doubt about how important
:17:55. > :17:56.
:17:56. > :18:01.Sunday's game is to the fans. manager, I have to be cool. But I
:18:01. > :18:04.will do even more that I have done before today to do my job properly
:18:05. > :18:09.and prepare the best that we can for this game. I know what it means
:18:09. > :18:12.for the fans. This was the last league match between the sides.
:18:12. > :18:15.March 2001 and a 2-0 win for Swindon with a short break when
:18:15. > :18:20.players were taken off the pitch after objects were thrown at the
:18:20. > :18:23.Swindon keeper. Oxford's allocation of 3,000 tickets has sold out. Like
:18:23. > :18:33.many, these fans can't remember a time when this fixture wasn't the
:18:33. > :18:36.most important of all. The rivalry has been there since I was born so
:18:36. > :18:43.it will always be there and will never go. In Swindon the view is
:18:43. > :18:47.much the same. They chant that they hate Oxford, never Cheltenham or
:18:47. > :18:55.Reading. Those who've studied the issue say it's enevitable that
:18:55. > :18:59.rivalries are local. There is no point comparing yourself to people
:18:59. > :19:03.on like you or completely irrelevant, Manchester United or
:19:03. > :19:07.Barcelona. You can compare yourself to somebody that is like you,
:19:07. > :19:11.against whom you can match yourself. In a way, you gain of pride not by
:19:11. > :19:14.being the best team in the world but the best team on your patch.
:19:14. > :19:17.an attempt to prevent trouble, the game has been moved to an earlier
:19:17. > :19:22.time on Sunday and the clubs and the supporters associations have
:19:22. > :19:26.appealed for fans to stay calm and enjoy the rivalry on the pitch.
:19:26. > :19:28.The rest of this weekend's games are coming on the screen now. After
:19:29. > :19:32.the confidence boost of winning their first game of the season,
:19:32. > :19:35.Bristol City are back at Ashton Gate to take on Portsmouth tomorrow.
:19:35. > :19:38.Nicky Maynard's two goals earned the win over Leicester, and manager
:19:38. > :19:48.Keith Millen is hoping his in- demand star striker will continue
:19:48. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :19:53.that form and help the side record a first home win. I think it shows
:19:53. > :19:58.how important it is to us. It shows why a lot of people are after him.
:19:58. > :20:02.They are not happy that he is in good form, fit and scoring goals.
:20:02. > :20:05.Long may that continue. Across the city, Bristol Rovers are

:20:37. > :20:41.the process. Some news Justine in the last few
:20:41. > :20:50.minutes. Swindon Town has just signed a new striker, Liam Clarke
:20:50. > :20:54.from QPR. He has signed a two-year deal. Heart of the press.
:20:54. > :20:56.Never before has a local authority here given over a whole road to
:20:57. > :20:59.graffiti artists. But that's what's happened in Bristol. It's the UK's
:21:00. > :21:02.biggest street art festival. More than 75 people have spent the last
:21:02. > :21:05.week transforming the rundown Nelson Street into what the council
:21:05. > :21:12.hopes will become the city's newest tourist attraction. Jules Hyam is
:21:12. > :21:16.there for us now. Hello. I have just stepped away
:21:16. > :21:20.from the crowds to get my thoughts together. I have been trying to
:21:20. > :21:24.work out how to explain how unusual this is but I have come up with the
:21:24. > :21:28.way to explain it, hopefully. It is being paid for by the local
:21:28. > :21:32.authority. That building there is a police station. I think it is time
:21:32. > :21:42.to give you some idea of how unusual we have been hearing all
:21:42. > :21:45.
:21:45. > :21:55.week about how the artists have This is Nelson Street four weeks
:21:55. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:00.ago. And this was wednesday night. Cherry pickers, projectors and
:22:00. > :22:08.spray paints. Some choose a freehand technique, ayering their
:22:08. > :22:18.way to four-storey mural. Already the work was attracting the media.
:22:18. > :22:21.Passersby stopped passing by and just watched. Why would a local
:22:21. > :22:25.authority want to spend taxpayers' money creating this? It all goes
:22:25. > :22:30.back to two years ago when an exhibition was put on at the
:22:30. > :22:34.British Museum and 300,000 people came to see it. Decision-makers
:22:34. > :22:38.that the council came to see street art as an economic driver. If you
:22:39. > :22:42.want to bring in the pennies and the pounds, you bring in the
:22:42. > :22:48.international street artists. from Los Angeles. I am not sure
:22:48. > :22:55.what style you would call it, but I am mostly inspired by classical
:22:55. > :23:02.older art. I do my best to try and reinterpret it and modernise it in
:23:02. > :23:12.my own way. I name is Nick Walker. I have been painting for well over
:23:12. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:20.20 years now. This particular piece is a twist on a clockwork orange
:23:20. > :23:29.logo. Of and then there is Inkie, the Bristol born artist who talked
:23:29. > :23:33.the British -- Bristol council into letting him paint the walls.
:23:34. > :23:38.This one was the first to go up and there has been even more going on
:23:38. > :23:44.throughout the day. Inkie, it has taken a year to put this together.
:23:44. > :23:48.How are you feeling? Very excited by what is going on. We have some
:23:48. > :23:54.of the world's best artists creating the credibility the city
:23:54. > :23:58.deserves. How is it to work with your legends? I have living legend
:23:58. > :24:01.here today. Many of these people are known the world over in this
:24:01. > :24:04.field and they would not have come here if it were not for the fact
:24:04. > :24:09.that they have got the space to paint on. The city council has
:24:09. > :24:13.arranged a lot of it and has put a �2,000 into putting his place at
:24:13. > :24:18.the forefront of being a tourist destination. Will this really work
:24:18. > :24:21.and the same way as that graffiti exhibition? I see no way that it
:24:21. > :24:26.cannot because it has worked in Melbourne where it has been done
:24:26. > :24:30.before. Is this the right way to spend �80,000? People might blanch
:24:30. > :24:34.at that during a recession but we have not suddenly become a Third
:24:34. > :24:40.World country. We are still spending on arts and events. All
:24:40. > :24:45.the evidence from the festival two years ago, which had �60,000 spent
:24:46. > :24:51.on it, was that had an economic impact of �15 million. It actually
:24:51. > :24:56.kept some local businesses going during that period. �15 million
:24:56. > :25:06.from Matt Craig Beattie exhibition. We will see how much this can bring
:25:06. > :25:12.to the city. -- from that graffiti Now let's go to the weather. What
:25:12. > :25:19.are we in for this weekend? It will be split, shall we say,
:25:19. > :25:26.with the better of the two halves being Sunday. Yesterday was very
:25:26. > :25:30.wet indeed. This was an unusual sight. It is called a supernumerary
:25:30. > :25:35.rainbow and it is quite unusual. It is caused by interference of light
:25:35. > :25:39.rays, not normal optical effects and it tends to occur only where
:25:39. > :25:45.there are small, similar-sized raindrops. In some of you put that
:25:45. > :25:50.on Twitter. There are outbreaks of rain about tomorrow that Sunday
:25:50. > :25:54.should be dry with some decent sunshine. A complex story through
:25:54. > :25:57.Saturday in the wider scheme of things. Weather fronts crossing
:25:57. > :26:01.over three tonight and into tomorrow evening. As we get into
:26:01. > :26:06.Sunday, and improving picture and high pressure coming in from the
:26:06. > :26:11.West. Essentially we will find that for many districts, after a damp
:26:11. > :26:17.morning, it will get better as the day wears on. There has been a fair
:26:17. > :26:22.amount of hazy sunshine today. We have seen some shiny outbreaks of
:26:22. > :26:27.rain getting closer to West Somerset. I think they will make
:26:27. > :26:32.slow progress so it will be largely dry this evening. The cloud will
:26:32. > :26:37.steadily increase throughout the night and will bring in some rain.
:26:37. > :26:41.That will be until 9 o'clock this evening. Tonight will be milder
:26:41. > :26:45.than last night, with temperatures in double figures. Through the
:26:45. > :26:50.cause of tomorrow, that weather front is draped across the West
:26:50. > :26:57.Country. A fair amount of patchy or showery light rain and some
:26:57. > :27:01.moderate and heavy bursts as well. Then it will fade away, so the late
:27:01. > :27:05.afternoon will be brighter. A window of opportunity. Later on in
:27:05. > :27:09.the evening, a cold weather front will come in from the same
:27:09. > :27:16.direction. I think it will show its hand later in the evening.
:27:16. > :27:22.Temperatures will be quite you know that 19. Sunday looks better all
:27:22. > :27:29.round. -- temperatures will be quite humid at 19. Temperatures on
:27:29. > :27:35.Sunday up to 23. Take your pick but I pick Sunday. Bumper rainbow. I
