Good evening, welcome to BBC Points West. Our headline, Weston | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Hospital's bleakest month. A report says April saw a catalogue of | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
failures in most staff wouldn't want their loved ones treated there. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Jailed tonight for the supply teacher who used his position to | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
assault children. Think the verdicts today have ripped | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
away the mask of respect built that he has hidden behind all these years | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
and revealed him for what he he is, a predatory paedophile. The driver | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
for Honda who died on a test track trying out a new model. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
And riding on the crest of a wave. Why surfers could be heading for | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
Almondsbury. Good evening. First the shocking | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
result of a staff survey at Weston Hospital. More than half of them say | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
they wouldn't send a loved one there for treatment. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Only 47% of those surveyed are happy to sew a relative looked after at | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
their own hospital or would recommend it as a place to work. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
It also emerged today that it was a particularly poor month with long | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
waiting times and more than one patient a day suffering from a bed | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
sore. To add to the hospital's problems the results of a snap | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
inspection are expected to be published tomorrow and managers | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
aren't expecting good news. Here is our health correspondent. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
This is the smallest district hospital in the country. But it is | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
now facing one of the biggest challenges. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Today, a report into the treatment of its patients listed a catalogue | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
of failings. At the heart of its problems, the Accident & Emergency | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
unit, which can't recruit enough doctors. Today's report shows the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
unit failed to meet its four hour target to deal with patients for | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
seven months. All this came to a head in April, at the end of a very | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
cold winter. On one occasion a confused elderly | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
patient fell from their chair while they were in this department. They | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
were seen at the time by the doctor, but two days later, it was realised | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
they had fractured their hip. . They were eight patients who waited more | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
than 12 hours in A&E before being treated or discharged. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Two patients who acquired bed sores that were very serious while staying | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
here and there were also two children involved in serious | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
untoward incidents. And the latest staff survey shows | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
that less than half of those questioned, that is 47%, would | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
recommend the hospital to friends or family. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
That is way below the national average of 65%. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
For many in Weston this came as a shock. I think something can't be | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
right. You wouldn't have thought? Why would that be? I would have | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
really thought the figure should be a lot higher than that. Although to | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
be fair, we unfortunately did have to use the A&E department, I think | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
it was last September, and I must say we found it to be rather good. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
To the daughter and widow of James Bollen who we featured yesterday, | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
this comes as no surprise. The 92-year-old was admitted to Weston | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Hospital in April, suffering with a singness bug. Four weeks later he | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
died. His family say he wasn't fed or given adequate liquids and he | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
developed sores and infections during his stay They spend thousands | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
to get things right an which never learn. We treat our elderly | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
population appallingly badly. 44 nurses have been recruited from | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Spain, today, the new man in charge said he hoped this would greatly | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
improve patient care. I am confident the staff we have got are competent | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
and able to deal with the patients we have got. Less than half of your | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
staff, 47% would recommend this hospital to a friend or a family. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
That doesn't fill me with confidence. It talks about whether | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
or not you would be happy for friends, relatives to be treated | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
here but as a good place to work. The uncertainty round the future of | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
the hospital, and the winter pressures that we have felt and and | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
ourable to deliver sustainable services has probably impact on that | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
result. Another report into the hospital by the Care Quality | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Commission is due to be published tomorrow. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
That also may not do anything to improve the standing of this trust. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Well, joining us to discuss this further, is Matthew Hill. Are you | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
anticipating that tomorrow's report will be more positive? It is a | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
follow up report to an inspection done in OK where there were issues | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
with privacy and dignity. They went in in April, so I don't expect that | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
it will be a particularly rosy picture. One of the problems that | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
the hospital faces, is recruiting staff. Why do you think people don't | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
want to work there? This uncertainty that the report alludes to. It won't | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
be a foundation hospital which means it has to join with another partner | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
by April. That could be a private company for instance, so all this | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
uncertainty is not helping. What about uncertainty for viewers | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
who might have relatives or family members going into Weston Hospital, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
what would you say to them? It is important to say this is the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
hospital's own report so it is the hospital criticisingist. That is the | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
opposite to what we had with the Mid-Staffordshire hospital, where | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
they were covering up what was going on, so that is a good sign. Also, I | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
mean the Chief Executive, I put to him would he have a family member | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
and he said yes, without thinking about it. Work goes on as usual. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Business is carrying on prosecutesty much as usual and they are doing | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
what -- pretty much as usual. Being under scrutiny is often the best | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
place to be if they were subject to a serious report. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
A supply teacher from Bristol is facing prison tonight after being | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
found guilty of sexually abusing schoolings in Bristol and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Gloucestershire. John Alway from Bradley spoke was convicted of 16 | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
separate offences P One of his victims was only nine. John Alway | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
arriving at court, for the very last time, as a free man. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Accused of 23 sexual assault, against eight different girl, some | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
as young as nine. It has taken a week for the jury to reach a final | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
decision on all the charges. Over the last few day, they have come in | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
slowly, charge by charge. What do you have to say to your | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
victims? Yesterday he and his family left court knowing he would be going | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
to prison Enough is enough. We have had enough. After being found guilty | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
of abusing six girls. He is innocent. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
And so today, the jury had to decide about the most serious charges. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Which related to the eighth girl. She was forced to sharpen pencils in | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
an empty locked classroom, sitting on his lap, before he stripped her | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
naked, laid her on the floor, only stopping when someone at the door | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
interrupted him. She was left behind a desk while he told her to get | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
dressed. She was nine. Today the jury found him guilty of this. The | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
victims weren't in court today, as the verdicts were delivered. But | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
John Alway who stood in the dock shook his head in disbelief, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
mouthing the words "This can't be happening." His son who sat reached | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
for a box of tissues and pronounced the verdicts farcical. I think the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
verdicts have ripped away the mask of respect built that he has hidden | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
behind although years. And revealed him as a predatory paedophile who | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
has abused a number of very young defenceless girls. John Alway was a | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
supply teacher for nine years, in many schools across the West | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
Country. But these offences relate to four primary, Hillcrest in | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
Knowle, shields road in Filton, Blaise in henibly and St Michael's? | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Stoke Gifford between 1997 and 2004. Today one of the councils | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
responsible for schools where he worked was keen to reassurance | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
parents that are safety measures are in place They have to have a senior | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
teacher who is responsible for safeguarding somebody that other | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
staff could go to if they are worried. They focus in the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
children's curriculum, on feeling safe, keeping safe, and what to do | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
if children don't feel safe. As he spends his first night in | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
prison, the judge will spend the next few days listening to witness | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
statements, before sentencing him on Friday. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
You are watching your regional news programme, BBC Points West with | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
David and Alex. Stay with us as there is much more still to bring | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
you, including some of the most important medieval manuscripts in | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Europe. We find out,000s of pounds will preserve down side's valuable | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
collection. On the verge of showbiz. Two schoolgirls see the cast of | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Matilda perform their song on the London stage. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Yes, that is coming up but first an inquest has concluded that a test | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
driver working for Honda in Swindon is most likely to have crashed and | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
died because of excess speed. A jury heard that David Allan was trying | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
out a new model when it span out of control. There were four other Honda | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
employees in the car. Scott, what more details emerged at the inquest | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
today? ? David Allan was a very experienced test driver, with Honda. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
He has worked here on the site for 26 year, very well-known among | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
employees here and they have in fact put up a memorial on the entrance to | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
the main part of the Honda site. July 3rd last year he was at a test | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
facility called Mill Brook. He was driving a CRV prototype. The 4X4 | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
vehicle but it was fully tested, it was just about ready for the market. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
What he was doing was showing four engineers round the track, to show | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
them how it could be used to develop cars in future. He was very familiar | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
with the track. He was in a part known as the alpine section. Lots of | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
tight bends and steep ups and down, the speed limit round about 55mph, | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the computer onboard the CRV showing at times he was travelling at 68mph | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
and in one bend the car went on the two wheel, roll and David Allan died | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
at the track side of head injuries. The inquest deciding it was an | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
accident #58 death most likely caused by that excess speed. | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
wasn't alone in the car was he? There were passengers and they have | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
given evidence, what did they say? Well, they were speaking holding | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
back tears at times at the inquest, recalling the accident, that feeling | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
of slow motion as the Carolling. One thinking we are in trouble. They | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
escaped with relatively few injury, they did say that it was a lot | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
faster than they could drive but they trusted David Allan, they knew | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
he knew the track well and they say the speed wasn't excessive. Members | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
of the family asking if a pothole on the track was to blame, but in fact | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
that was discounted. Finally Honda saying today they have lost a valued | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
employee but there were no defects found in the car. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Tributes have paid to the woman whose body was found on a road in | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Wiltshire. Sarah-Jane Blackburn was 42 when she died in an accident on | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
the A3102 at Royal Wootton Bassett. Her husband said she would do | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
anything to make people happy, and will be missed forever. Police are | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
continuing to appeal for anyone who was in the area, late on Sunday, the | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
2nd June, to contact them. More than 2,000 girls from Bristol | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
are at risk of being taken abroad during the summer toll days to be | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
forced to undergo female mutilation. It came as the NHS launched its | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
campaign to raise awareness of the illegal practise. It is still common | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
in some African countries, aiding and abetting the crime can lead to | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
14 years in prison here, but there are concerns that no-one has yet | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
been prosecuted, in the UK. An attempt to build a new motorway | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
junction on the M 49 has suffered a serious setback. The Government's | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
turned down an application for �18 million of funding. The proposed | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
junction would open up land at Avonmouth to development. The west | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
of England partnership is considering other ways of funding | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
the scheme. Now, take a look at people surfing | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
waves. Not that strange until you realise they are not in the sea, or | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
even on the Severn Bore, they are on a lake. It is new technology that | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
has been developed in Spain and could be coming to the west soon. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Plans have been drawn up to build a wave lagoon at Almondsbury. If it | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
goes ahead it will be the first man-made surfing lake anywhere in | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
the world. The sport of surfing. Virtually | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
always in the sea, on waves from Hawaii and Tahiti, to the West | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Country coast. Not forgetting the brave souls who | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
surf the Severn Bore up river wave of course. But what about this? It | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
is a freshwater lake, with a breaking wave that looks, feels and | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
peels like a real wave in the sea. Developed at a test centre in Spain, | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
it was spotted by a Bristol company. Immediately when we saw it, we | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
decided that this would be a fantastic thing to bring into the | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
city, find a location close to the city to put it in, and to create an | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
adventure so that children and people of all changes, backgrounds, | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
could come along to the lake, get into the water, try surfing for the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
first time. Be in the outdoor, experience nature on the doorstep. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
It is not the first new wave we have ridden. Man-made ones were big news | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
in the 70s. The leisure pool has a wave machine, in there, which will | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
give off wave, which will break on the shall owe shall we are parts. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
The water is warm and there is is a machine that creates waves. The | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
technology here is completely different though. This field near | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Almondsbury is where the wave lagoon will be built. Surrounded by | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
landscaping, and adventure trays. Quite a challenge. | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Given it is a world first, there is nobody with any experience of doing | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
something qiebg as unique as this, even arriving is a journey You leave | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
your car behind you come on site, and then you have got this basically | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
a playground and the woodland and gardens will be there. It's a day | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
out destination but might appeal to a surfer who wants to come for an | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
hour and get his fix. The plans are due to go out for public | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
consultation in a month. If all goes well the wave lake could be open by | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
summer 2014. Even though others are planned across the world, the west's | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
is on track to be the first anywhere. Now that is breaking news! | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
We will have to send do you do the first report from there. A new | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
meaning to the words Almondsbury interchange. We move on now, we have | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
heard a a band member from mum, they are due to headline at the | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
Glastonbury Festival had has to have surgery to remove a blood clot from | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
his brain. Details of Little Ted's condition have been revealed. It | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
said he had been feeling unwell and was taken to hospital for emergency | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
treatment yesterday. The band have called off their next three concerts | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
but they say they have no plans to cancel cancel or post moan any -- | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
postpone any others. We wish him a speedy recovery. I am going to | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Glastonbury this years I found out today as well. . Excellent. Surfing | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
and Glastonbury. You are a dude! So cool. The home of one of Europe's | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
most important collections of medieval manuscripts has been given | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
more than three-quarters after million to help preserve the work, | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
the Monastic Library as Downside Abbey houses many rare books and | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
documents dating back as far as the tenth century. It has been awarded a | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Heritage Lottery grant of more than �850,000. This is to improve the | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
conditions in which they are stored and to create an online catalogue. | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Here is our reporter. You can almost taste history as you walk round | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
here. There is certainly that smell that only leather bound printed | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
words seem to have. There are five floors of literary | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
treasure, dance, the 1477 edition from Venice. Take a peep behind | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
glass and there is a rare collection of Papal Bulls, and then there is | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
this. A prove for yum, it details the livs of the 12 major prophets | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
and dates back to 990. Hand-written, on vellum. | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
And bound, well its cover is wood. And there is more. 425,000 more bun | :17:58. | :18:06. | |
I think you will enjoy. This is a book of hours, from the 14th 90s. It | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
is from the book market which is one of the largest in gleefuld Europe. | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
It is quite an ex quay it is book because of the use of gold leaf | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
which is well used but the blue, which was a stone that is ground | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
down and put into a paste and turned into this rich blue. | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
It is unique. And very beautiful. With so many very rare delicate and | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
indeed valuable items in the collection, the focus is very much | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
on previous vagus. Now the conditions up here aren't bad but in | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
the basement there have been problems with damp. So some of that | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
money will go to creating climate control system, so all the rare | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
books can be kept very cool and dry. As well as preserving the originals | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
many of the works are going to be digitised. It will allow the vision | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
and promise of this library to be fulfilled. At the moment, we are | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
overwhelmed by people who want us to do their research for them, by | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
looking things up. I is just virtually impossible, whereas I | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
think the ding -- digitalising it will work well. The work should take | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
some time to complete but with selective pieces available on line | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
the library will be available to scholars round the world. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
That was very relaxing, not far from there a nine foot high circular seat | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
has been installed at the bishop's peninsula Palace in Wells. A crane | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
was needed to lower the stone structure into the Garden of | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Reflection which is described as sparse, unfurnished space where | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
visitors can pray. It is set among a glade of silver birches and is one | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
of several large-scale artworks planned for the garden. Very | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
beautiful it is too. To football and Bristol City have signed Swindon | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
Town defender Aden Flint on a four year contract. City made several | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
unsuccessful bids for the player before agreeing a deal with their | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
rifles. Flint joined from Alfreton Town in January 2011. At 6'6 he is | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
the imposing centre back the club say they have been missing. It is a | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
difficult decision, because I was a Swindon Town player and I enjoy my | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
time there, but, I think when an opportunity like this comes along | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
you have to take it. It's a bigger club. It is the same level, League | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
One, but Bristol City is a different channel for me, that is what I want | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
to pursue. When you lock at the team, we have had a problem all | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
season keeping clean sheets. Is the strikers might be the glamorous part | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
of football but we needed somebody that when you look at the size of | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
him he is a defender. He is at the start of his career. So hopefully it | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
will be a good signing. A mural has just been completed in | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
Bristol. It deeffects Jesus break dancing. It took a week to complete, | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
and it contains a kilo of gold glitter. Cosmo Sarson who is from | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
London won a competition to paint the wall. It is opposite Banksy's | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Mild Mild West. The artist said he was inspired after an actual event | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
many Vatican where break dancers performed to an applauding Pope John | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Paul II in 2004. This has been a week of painting, it | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
has a kilo of glitter in it. I have did it the old traditional way in | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
the same way Michaelangelo would have painted frescoings, so I did a | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
charcoal draws, pin-pricked through paper, that gave me the shape of the | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
piece, from there it was colouring it in. I wonder what you think of | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
that. I will be interested to know. Two young composer from Cheltenham | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
went to London to see their song performed on a West End stage. | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
The students from a gram -- grammar school wrote it based on the story | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
of Matilda. Our Gloucestershire reporter went to the West End with | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
them, to see it happen. Welcome to co-haven't garden and | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
meet two very excited 12-year-olds. . Eco-vent. Isobel and Joanna have | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
become West End composers for the day. How you feeling? Really | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
excited. I am looking forward to see how they bring our scene to life. | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Their charge was to come up with a song based on Matilda the musical. | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
It is the story of little Matilda, intelligent beyond her year, bullied | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
by her parents she gets sent to school to suffer of the fate of the | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
terrifying head mistress. exception to the rule. | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
In my school? The RSC brought to it the stage but | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
wanted to see what those closer to Matilda's age could come up with. | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
wanted them to create a new character. I wanted to make sure | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
they wrote about something they knew so it could be anybody, any | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
character, it could be a dinner lady, it could be a young person. | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Isobel and Joanna got writing back in Cheltenham. | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
We made up a really spoilt girl called Beatrice and in the scene she | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
has been left with Matilda by the head and she sings her song. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
And the good news is their song was one of a select few to be given the | :24:10. | :24:19. | |
West End treatment by the Matilda cast. | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
# Ooh, you're rolling in the money. It was amazing seeing how they | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
brought it to life after we spent hours working on it. It was beyond | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
everything I imagined. They hardly changed it. | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
# There is no-one quite like me! # I think the song was great. I was | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
honoured I got chosen to do it. The kids seemed to laugh and it was | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
different from what we have in the show, which was great. A lovely | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
piece that could have fitted in with the rest. There aren't many | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
12-year-olds who get their songs performed on the West End stage but | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
I get a feeling these girls have a taste for it now, so remember where | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
you saw them first. We will, we will keep that safe inst | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
archive, that must have been intense to watch your piece on the West End | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
stage. The songs from the show, you can't beat it. Let us move on to the | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
weather. I seem to have missed the weather. I seem to have missed the | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
good weather. The good news is the wind will pick | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
up, so in between growing your dreadlocks for Glastonbury it will | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
get better. I we haven't lost the sunshine but it is heading in that | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
direction. A lot of cloud round tomorrow, a breezy day, turning | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
windy by tomorrow and there will be rain about. That will be a feature | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
into the second half of the day, let us run a composite of the radar. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
Here is the clearer brighter slot that has come across, there we go, | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
second, here comes the thicker cloud that will dominate, bringing | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
conditions much as we had last night. So hill fog, some drizzle, | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
but the breeze picking up at the same time, but as we head into | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
tomorrow, apart from light drizzle it will be the afternoon this wave | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
like feature will introduce every -- heavy rain. All of us will see a | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
phase of rain into the afternoon. For the rest of this evening, | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
brighter spells for some. The cloud has broken well, the cloud | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
thickening up as we run this each hour. Starting to bring some patchy | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
drizzle here or there and so things will dominate during the overnight | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
period. Hill fog, turning breezy as the night wears on, it will be mild. | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
Temperatures in urban areas 13 or 14. So tomorrow, for the rush hour, | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
still some drizzle about, still a pretty murky claggy start. As we run | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
through the morning this zone of shallow moist air breaks, and at | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
some stage through the mid-to-late afternoon the heavier rain starts to | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
spill back in. The heaviest more to the south and east. You will catch | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
some northwards before it becomes lighter and patchier, but the win at | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
this stage still starting to pick up. We could get gales into | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
Thursday. Temperatures tomorrow will struggle. -- gales. | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
As we look through the rest of the week, there will be some drier | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
phases but the threat of further rain or showers. Tonight claggy? | :27:29. | :27:35. |
