Good evening and welcome to BBC Our headlines tonight: The call for | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
help that was not heeded. A suicide victim makes a last 999 call but | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
the police did not respond. Stabbed through the head with a screwdriver | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
- the man killed for his mobile phone. The biggest concentration of | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
elderly people in the UK. How local authorities are coping with their | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
needs. And find out that happened when The Hoff gave an interview to | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
:00:47. | :00:49. | ||
Good evening. A suicide victim who took 30 pills and then called the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
police for help died after they failed to turn up. Christofer | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Walker made the emergency call on his mobile phone but the police | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
decided not to send an officer. Avon and Somerset Police have now | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
apologised to Christofer's family. Our health correspondent has been | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
following the story. We should warn you that his report does include | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
:01:17. | :01:18. | ||
that final distressing phone call. It was in the early hours of the | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
morning in February, 2009, when Christopher Walker make this call | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
to the police. I'm taking more pills. I want to dive. Christopher | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
New the local police and trusted them. He was living on his then and | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
had some physical and mental problems. -- his own. He was | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
desperate. He wanted someone to help him. He had no credit on his | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
mobile. The first police caught operator graded the call as | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
requiring an immediate response. It means a police unit should be on | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
the scene within 15 minutes. many pills have you taken? Loads. | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
How many is loads? 30. An ambulance is dispatched immediately. The | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
pills he is overdosing on our for his heart and have no antidote. The | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
ambulance car which was near by arise at the address very quickly. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
He has not been told which of the three flats he lives in. The driver | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
cannot get a response. A police unit should be hit in the next 10 | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
minutes. A baffling decision has been made by another person - the | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
police dispatcher. They deploy police units. They decide to | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
downgrade the call from an immediate response to resolution | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
without deployment. Put simply, the police are not going to attend. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
What happened next was a crucial delay while the ambulance driver | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
tried to get into the flats. When eventually the ambulancemen got | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
hold of a number, Christopher came straight down to let him in. The | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
ambulancemen had to persuade an extremely grotty man to go with him. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
An hour and a quarter after his call that he finally left in the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
ambulance for hospital. If the police had attended as they should | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
have turned, Christopher would have done what he told them to do. They | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
would have said, come on come a hospital. He would have gone | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
immediately to hospital. His own consultant cardiologist pointed out | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
his only hope would have been for his stomach to have been pumped up | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
straight away. A delay of more than an hour would make this relatively | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
ineffective. The coroner at the inquest said the failure of the | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
police to attend had not affected the final outcome. Following | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
complaints by his mother, Avon & Somerset Police force has admitted | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
it was at fault. We have apologised privately to his mother. We should | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
have gone when somebody needs our help. How busy were you that | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
evening? There are a number of incidents going on. By way of | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
example, in the last month, we have dealt with 215 calls relating to | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
suicidal persons. For Carroll, it has been agonising to relive the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
tragic events of that February night. She is clear about her | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
reasons. It was a difficult decision to let this harrowing tape | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
be played. We hope that it can Well, joining me is our health | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
correspondent. Is this a one-off? Since this sad case, we have learnt | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
of five other cases which have been investigated by the Independent | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Police Complaints Commission. They involved the same force - Avon and | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Somerset - and the way they responded to calls involving very | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
distressed people. All those people went on to take their own lies. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Those series of investigations have come up with a series of | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
investigations nationally. It is about a more efficient system in | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
terms of police call handling. The police say they have introduced | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
better procedures and better computer technology. They are | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
adamant they take these things very seriously - as seriously as another | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
emergency call. That charge is made against them by a mental health | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
charity who think they do not necessarily take these calls as | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
seriously. It is a question of resources, isn't it? If in this | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
case they did not follow their own protocol. And you can see more on | :06:01. | :06:11. | |

this story tonight on Inside out West at 7:30pm here on BBC One. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Mark Andrews was fired when he was then dragging a woman across the | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
floor of a police station. The courts found him innocent. Our home | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
affairs correspondent reports. are in my custody and you'll be | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
quiet and you will listen. Pamela arrived at the police station to be | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
greeted by Mark Andrews. He is seen on CCTV dragging her across the | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
floor towards the cells. The video shows her falling into the cell | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
where she lies for over a minute, before gradually struggling to get | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
out. She struggles to her feet with blurred over her face. The incident | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
left her with these injuries to her eye and face. I won't ever forget | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
it. I still get panic attacks about it. I get huge panic attacks. It | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
will stay in my mind unfortunately clever. I am trying hard to forget | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
it. I do not think anyone could forget anything like that. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
former soldier and police such it was jailed for six months for | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
assault. The conviction was later quashed on appeal. Sergeant Andrew | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
said she was abusive and difficult when she was brought to the police | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
station after being found asleep at the wheel of her car. Extremely | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
sorry to Mrs Somerville who received injuries while in my care. | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
It was never my intention. I was only trying to place her back in | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
herself. It was never any intent on my part to cause her any injury. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
December of last year it Sergeant Andrews was sacked from his job | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
after an internal police hearing. Officers from a neighbouring force | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
said he had fallen below standards expected from police officers. He | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
took his case to the Independent police appeals tribunal which ruled | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
he should be reinstated immediately at his former Rank. Today the force | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
declined to be interviewed. They are surprised and disappointed at | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
the result. Senior officers are taking legal advice and may appeal | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
against the findings of the tribunal. Sergeant Andrews, who was | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
suspended on full pay, lost his �36,000 a year salary when he was | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
sacked last year. The force has been told to pay him back. His | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
solicitor told me his client is delighted with the decision of the | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
tribunal. If his employers refuse to accept the verdict, though their | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
head with a judicial review of the whole case. He lost his life over a | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
mobile phone. The words of the prosecution in the trial of two men | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
accused murdering a father from Gloucester. 36-year-old Keith Soons | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
died in Wellington Lane in Cheltenham earlier this year. He | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
had been stabbed in the head. The prosecution say that he Mr Soons | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
was killed after he tried to remonstrate with two robbers who | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
:09:24. | :09:27. | ||
The 36-year-old was found lying unconscious here in Wellington Lane | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
in Cheltenham last February. After a night out with friends, he had | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
been stabbed in the head with a weapon similar to a screwdriver. | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
Injuries he never recovered from. Opening the case, the prosecution | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
told the jury that he lost his life over a mobile phone when he tried | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
to recover his belongings after being robbed at around 3am in the | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
morning of 5th February. The two men in, accused of his murder, 28 | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
you rob Michael Sexton and 27-year- old Richard Smith, both admit to | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
being at the scene of the attack in the early hours of that morning. -- | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
year-old. He denies the murder. Smith denies the murder and robbery. | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Each blamed the other for delivering the fatal injury that | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
led to the man's death. Both men are in fact culpable. The jury were | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
also told that Sexton in a police interview said the Richard Smith | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
had told him that he always wanted to know what it was like to kill | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
someone. Tonight, as Keith Soons' family and his girlfriend, Samantha | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Ramsay, left Bristol Crown Court hoping this trial expected to last | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
three weeks. It will hopefully answer their questions as to why | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
such a promising life was cut so tragically short. A brutal murder | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
:10:53. | :11:03. | ||
which has left a little baby girl to grow up without her father. You | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
are watching BBC Points West. Still to come on tonight's programme: I | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
am David Hassell off. Join us. do not want to miss that. An | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
inquest into the death of Kate Prout has been adjourned after the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
pathologist was unable to establish how she died. Her remains were | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
found in woodland last month after her husband, Adrian, who is serving | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
life for her murder, took police to the spot where he buried her on | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
their Gloucestershire farm. Further tests will be carried out on her | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
larynx and the body won't be released for 28 days to allow time | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
for any request for a second post- A group of campaigners from Bristol | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
are due to appear before magistrates accused of aggravated | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
trespass at a gas drilling rig in Lancashire last week. Three | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
protesters climbed up onto the rig. In all, five people have been | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
charged with a variety of offences and are due in court on December | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
20th. They are opposed to the practice of fracking, where natural | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
gas is extracted from thousands of Planning officers in South | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Gloucestershire have recommended the closure of Filton airfield. The | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
report, which will be debated by councillors next week, suggests | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
that two-thirds of the airfield should be used for housing, with a | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
third set aside for business use. Our reporter, Robin Markwell, has | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
:12:34. | :12:37. | ||
seen the report. The report says when there's air-filled closes in | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
December next year, it will not have a significant impact on the | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
aviation business already here. There is no prospect of | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
redeveloping the site as a commercial airport. It is a bitter | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
blow to campaigners. They have been battling to keep it registered as | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
an airfield. What to do with the real estate on the outskirts of | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
:13:09. | :13:09. | ||
Bristol? They are talking about 2500 homes and a heritage centre, | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
where Concorde might find a permanent home. What happens next? | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
Councillors will discuss this on Wednesday next week. Then it will | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
go to a planning inspector for a final decision next April. Still a | :13:24. | :13:33. | |
long way ahead for this crucial matter. It is an iconic side. Thank | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
you very much indeed. The owners of empty homes are being encouraged to | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
return their properties to a liveable condition to help tackle | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
the housing shortage. Across the UK, more than a million houses stand | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
empty. So, councils here in the west, are offering owners help and | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
:13:59. | :14:16. | ||
When is a house not a home? When it is cold, lifeless and empty. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
this is the living room. It is in a bit of a state. This cottage in | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Saltford near Bath was a home and the challenge for the owner is to | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
make it habitable once again. But there is lots to do. The I did it | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
is to help the earn a clear-out as much stuff as we can during this | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
week, so that he can actually spend his time at your renovating the | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
property and putting it back into use so that it can be occupied. At | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
the moment it is not in a fit state to be occupied. As part of the no | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
use empty campaign, local councils are encouraging owners to contact | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
them. They will be offered advice on refurbishment, on renting the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
property out, and in this case there is practical assistance with | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
workers from Clean Slate an organisation that helps people back | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
into employment. There are 400 m to property is not being used. We | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
could help people not to be homeless. -- empty. Across the UK, | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
there are one million domestic properties that are empty and could | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
be put back into use. But, even if every single one was converted, it | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
would fall well short of solving our housing shortage. But it is a | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
start - helping to transform an The good news is we are all living | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
longer. But that is presenting a big challenge to those who look | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
after the elderly - especially here in the West. Take, for example, | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
west Somerset. It has got the highest proportion of older people | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
in the country. The average age there is 52. In second place is | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
west Dorset. That means there is a growing need for the care services | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
provided by councils, at a time when their budgets are shrinking | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
fast. Here's our political editor, She is one in a million and a half. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
Patricia Simpson-Bysman is among an ever increasing number of adults | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
who need help. She used to teach PE but, following a stroke, even the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
most basic physical movement is a struggle. Carers come to her | :16:26. | :16:36. | |

Wiltshire home four times a day. can be very humiliating. Home care | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
is a lifeline. They are terrific people. They laugh, Joe, they know | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
when to be serious. They do everything from buying her shopping | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
and preparing her food to personal care such as washing. It is funded | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
by Wiltshire Council, which has struggled to balance growing demand | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
for adult care with shrinking budgets. These West Somerset | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
residents hope they won't need care anytime soon. This activity session | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
for the over 50s is part-funded by the council. It is needed. The area | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
has the highest proportion of elderly people anywhere in the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
country. The councillor responsible has been to lobby the government | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
:17:23. | :17:24. | ||
minister for care. A group of us from the West Country did meet the | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
minister in London. He is coming down to West Somerset to see the | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
needs we have in this very difficult geographical area. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
control spending, the council has tightened its criteria for who gets | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
help. It was not an easy decision to make. It was a fair way of | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
distributing finances. Back in Wiltshire, lunch is being served | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
for Patricia Simpson-Bysman. She thinks politicians should treat | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
older folk with respect. While we may be living longer, we have paid | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
financially. Many of us in emotions, to fund this country's welfare. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Looking after her - and many others - is a growing challenge for our | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
The magic of the FA Cup has certainly cast its spell on our | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
sides. The third round draw has paired three of them with | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
opposition from the premier league ensuring media attention aplenty | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
and a significant boost to club Swindon are home to Wigan but the | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
greatest interest is in Bristol Rovers match against Aston Villa | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
:18:43. | :18:46. | ||
and Cheltenham who have a trip to Two glamour ties, the very stuff | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
for F A Cup dreams. Two different scenarios. For Cheltenham Town, a | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
chance to play Spurs, in front of a crowd of upwards of 35,000. For | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
Bristol Rovers, it is a home tie against Aston Villa. The chance to | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
get a Premier League outfit and the chance to offer them some West | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
Country hospitality. Aston Villa were not be looking forward to | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
paying a visit. Yesterday, Rovers were the cup giants. The cameras | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
were there to see them slain but no chance as they won 6-1. Next time | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
:19:30. | :19:33. | ||
It is a nice feeling. There is no pressure on you. They were never | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
have to be at their best to beat us. We had to be at our best against | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Corby. We have earned the right. The players have done great. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Cheltenham's day of glory was harder earned with a 4-3 win at | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Luton. But, with the ink barely dry on the score sheet, the board met | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
this morning trying to make the most of their tie against Spurs. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
They have already made more than �65,000 from their cup run and | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Spurs' match will earn them more than �100,000 from gate receipts | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
:20:11. | :20:12. | ||
It is massive in the town. The whole profile of Cheltenham is huge. | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
It will be great for businesses and sponsorship. It will be a good | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
fillip for the town. Going to White Hart Lane and playing Spurs is | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
absolutely a dream. Rovers have struggled to sell their corporate | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
packages this season. This morning, the phone has been ringing off the | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
hook with all deals for the day gone. They now wait to hear if the | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
magic of the cup will extend to live television coverage, bringing | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:56. | ||
a new dawn, and a season-altering Now, if you watched TV at any point | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
in the 80s, you would have struggled to miss him. David | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
Hasselhoff - star of long-running classics like Baywatch and Knight | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Rider - is now gracing the stage here in Bristol. He is playing | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
Captain Hook in a new production of Peter Pan opening later this month | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
at the Hippodrome. Well, earlier, Ali managed to control her | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
excitement to introduce the Hoff to a group of students from Weston | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Super Mare. It is lovely to have you in the studio. Nice to see you. | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
I am surplus to requirement. We have some best interviewers. Fire | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
away! Bravo! Which you ever go back to Baywatch? Would I go back to | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Baywatch? They are making a bay watch movie now. I do not think | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
they want me in it. I might to a cameo. Someone else would pay him - | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
- play my character. All of us are so cold we probably would have to | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
run down the beach really in slow motion. What is your name? Reece. | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
If Knight Rider were to return, do you think it would enjoy the same | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
success? They make the big mistake trying to recreate shows by | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
recasting them and making them totally different. Those days were | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
a really special. Knight Rider was release special. One man can make a | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
difference was the theme. If you can make a difference first you | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
must make a difference in your own life. It was not about taking lives. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
The car was or was programmed to save lives. Would you ever | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
considered the launching of pop career it in the UK? That is a | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
funny question. I am doing that right now. I'm going on tour on the | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
23rd. It starts off with very romantic movement -- music with | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
West End musicals like Jekyll-and- Hyde from Broadway. I'm doing | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
beautiful ballads like and dress the cherry. Then ago into crazy | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
stuff. I found a new writer I am writing with. When I go back now, | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
everyone wants to jump in my car and they want to hear the theme | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
from Baywatch. People come dressed up as me. Not like 10, almost all | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
of them come dressed up as me. It is really surreal. How do starring | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
in the breast of pantomime compare with being a judge on Britain's Got | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
:23:42. | :23:43. | ||
Talent? -- Bristol. The first show I ever did was Peter Pan. I am now | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
in my 50s. 50 years later, I am doing Peter Pan again. On stage is | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
magic. If you ever get a chance to beat in the show or beat in the | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
theatre, you must do it. You cry should all come backstage for the | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
big new talk. -- you guys. That is the great offer. Are you going to | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
be really tough? No. I am fun. I want to take you home. Thank you | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
very much indeed for joining Bass. Good job. He is very tall, isn't | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
he? The teachers were absolutely thrilled. They were as thrilled as | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
the kids. Thanks again to the students, standing in and doing | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
something to doing for us. A winner has been announced for the 2011 | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
Turnip Prize, the annual send-up of the more prestigious Turner Prize | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
for art. The turnip has been awarded to this entry, entitled | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Jamming With Muddy Waters. The New Inn at Wedmore in Somerset which | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
runs the contest every year gives the award to the entry showing the | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
:25:07. | :25:12. | ||
I think it was a well deserved winner. Now for the weather. Our | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
:25:22. | :25:25. | ||
I never used to watch Knight Rider. I did used to watch Baywatch. As | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
for the weather, it is a similar story for Tamara. Where there have | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
been showers today, there will be some tomorrow. For some of us, | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
there will be some reasonable sunshine. Some of you will be | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
dodging showers. Tomorrow, very little change. This West to the | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
float is with us. Bringing showers from time to time. -- westerly. On | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
Thursday, it looks like it will be milder, wetter and cloudier. The | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
showers are packed into southern Somerset especially. The sea | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
temperatures about 13 Celsius. Positively barmy. The showers are | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
coming into this particular area. In Gloucestershire, you have had | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
very little in the wake of showers. -- way. The showers continue to | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
packing across parts of west Somerset, into some central | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
districts. We have had some hail as well. That is how they continue | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
overnight with interludes of drier weather. The best of the drier | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
weather is in the north. We get down pretty close to freezing in | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
parts of Gloucestershire. Not far off that as you come further south. | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
On the coastal fringes you will continue with the breeze of the | :26:51. | :26:59. | |
Bristol Channel. The showers earlier and further north it is a | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
drier picture. Here will be the best of the sunshine. Clout tending | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
to build later in the day and showers as well. -- cloud. Into the | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
evening most of the showers will go, with the exception of some into the | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
far west. Looking beyond that, Wednesday should be a dry and | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
bright day for us all. There will be sheltered from the shires. With | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
the wind front coming through, it will be wetter and milder tomorrow. | :27:33. | :27:38. |
