Welcome to BBC Points West with Alex Lovell and Sabet Choudhury.

:00:00.:00:08.

Our main story tonight: Did hospital staff do enough to save his life?

:00:09.:00:13.

The grieving parents of a four year old say he was let down by shambolic

:00:14.:00:22.

care. We truly believe, had we gone to a different centre, he would be

:00:23.:00:25.

alive today. The Bristol Children's Hospital

:00:26.:00:27.

finds itself under the spotlight ` we report from the opening day of

:00:28.:00:29.

the inquest. Also in tonight's programme: Could

:00:30.:00:40.

dredging the rivers have saved Somerset businesses from the floods?

:00:41.:00:48.

Underprivileged and underdeveloped ` why the poorest in Cheltenham are

:00:49.:00:51.

falling behind. And it could be disappearing from a

:00:52.:00:55.

menu near you ` why Gloucestershire farmers fear for the future of

:00:56.:00:56.

goat's cheese. Good evening. The parents of a child

:00:57.:01:07.

who died after undergoing heart surgery in Bristol have told an

:01:08.:01:10.

inquest his care was shambolic and nurses did not have enough time to

:01:11.:01:13.

give him the treatment he desperately needed. Sean Turner died

:01:14.:01:17.

at Bristol Children's Hospital in March 2012. This is the second of a

:01:18.:01:24.

series of inquests looking into the deaths of children who had heart

:01:25.:01:27.

surgery at the unit. Our health correspondent Matthew Hill reports.

:01:28.:01:37.

He was very active, very full on. To look at him, you wouldn't know he

:01:38.:01:41.

had a heart condition. He considered himself to be Spiderman and was

:01:42.:01:43.

jumping and climbing everywhere He loved foot wall and swimming. He

:01:44.:01:51.

loved the skate park. `` football. It was to be a very emotional day

:01:52.:01:54.

for Yolande and Steve. There were tears as they recalled how their

:01:55.:01:58.

four year old, Sean, was treated after a heart operation in Bristol.

:01:59.:02:02.

They say pressure on beds in intensive care meant Sean had to be

:02:03.:02:05.

discharged onto this cardiac ward after only 18 hours of one`to`one

:02:06.:02:16.

nursing. He was obviously quite critical, to us, and had a lot of

:02:17.:02:23.

needs. There were no nurses around. He deteriorated and had a cardiac

:02:24.:02:26.

arrest. The inquest heard that after three days on Ward 32, Sean

:02:27.:02:29.

underwent further surgery to remove a build`up of fluid around his heart

:02:30.:02:33.

and was returned back to the ward ` despite their pleas for him to go

:02:34.:02:42.

intensive care. We begged for four days to go back to intensive care

:02:43.:02:49.

but nobody listened. We could see the monitors on his bedside and we

:02:50.:02:52.

could see them alarming at the desk that there was nobody there. We had

:02:53.:02:57.

to leave him and go running off to find a nurse. Sean was then admitted

:02:58.:03:00.

back to intensive care but four weeks later he died of a massive

:03:01.:03:04.

bleed in his brain. A hospital review into his death highlights

:03:05.:03:06.

sub`optimal nursing staff on the ward, a failure to recognise his

:03:07.:03:09.

deteriorating condition, and poor communication with his parents.

:03:10.:03:17.

Today, statements were read out from nursing staff and doctors. They say

:03:18.:03:21.

they were regularly checking up on Sean's condition on Ward 32 and

:03:22.:03:29.

responding where appropriate. A statement by one of the consultant

:03:30.:03:33.

cardiologists in charge of Sean s care was read out. He said he was

:03:34.:03:38.

deeply sorry that they were not able to get on top of what was a

:03:39.:03:41.

well`known complication of this type of surgery. The inquest is due to

:03:42.:03:45.

end next Wednesday. Well, Matthew Hill joins us now

:03:46.:03:51.

Matthew, this is a very sad individual case but it's not the

:03:52.:03:55.

only one involving Ward 32, is it? No, you may remember the case just

:03:56.:04:01.

before Christmas of Luke Jenkins, a seven`year`old from Wales, who had

:04:02.:04:05.

an operation and died in similar circumstances on the same ward, with

:04:06.:04:10.

his parents having the same sort of complaints. There was a hospital

:04:11.:04:13.

report that was quite damning of staffing levels. Nevertheless, the

:04:14.:04:18.

coroner ruled that there was no gross negligence, although we should

:04:19.:04:27.

welcome the changes that were put in place after these cases, including a

:04:28.:04:32.

high dependency unit. The Care Quality Commission said that should

:04:33.:04:36.

happen. There are other inquest coming up ` three that I know of,

:04:37.:04:41.

whose families are not happy. They are considering legal action. Some

:04:42.:04:45.

are to do with cardiological procedures. Thank you.

:04:46.:04:47.

Investigations are continuing following the discovery of the

:04:48.:04:50.

bodies of two men at Purton Canal in Gloucestershire. A police helicopter

:04:51.:04:54.

was called to the scene yesterday morning. One body had to be pulled

:04:55.:04:58.

from the water, and the other was found on the towpath. Their deaths

:04:59.:05:03.

aren't being treated as suspicious. The Environment Agency has warned

:05:04.:05:06.

tonight that more forecast rain could bring further flooding to the

:05:07.:05:12.

Somerset Levels. Water levels on the moorland are falling slightly. But

:05:13.:05:15.

roads remain closed, houses are still waterlogged and one village is

:05:16.:05:19.

still cut off. Tonight, Inside Out asks why the situation has become so

:05:20.:05:23.

bad and talks to those whose livelihoods have been seriously

:05:24.:05:29.

affected. Here's Clinton Rogers James Winslade's family have farmed

:05:30.:05:35.

on the Levels for 150 years. Only three times in living memory has

:05:36.:05:39.

their farm flooded ` all since since 2000. Taking Inside Out presenter

:05:40.:05:46.

Alistair McKee to a high vantage point, he explained what he thought

:05:47.:05:58.

was the reason. This is where the two rivers merge. It's like a

:05:59.:06:02.

motorway. When you've got two lanes going down to one lane, you get a

:06:03.:06:06.

pile`up, and this is where you've got all the traffic flowing out over

:06:07.:06:09.

either side because it cannot get away. That, he says, is quite simply

:06:10.:06:13.

because 20 years ago they stopped dredging the rivers ` clearing them

:06:14.:06:17.

of a build up of silt which comes in daily with the tide of the Severn

:06:18.:06:20.

Estuary. If you leave it, what happens is the rivers clog up and

:06:21.:06:24.

hold less water. The result, say many on the Levels, is this. The

:06:25.:06:29.

Environment Agency is the organisation responsible for our

:06:30.:06:35.

rivers. When I cornered Lord Smith, the then chairman of the Agency on

:06:36.:06:39.

a visit to Somerset a year ago he did commit to dredging ` eventually.

:06:40.:06:50.

What we need to do is find out here where the best places to dredge are

:06:51.:06:53.

going to be, then we'll get on and do it. That will be as as soon as

:06:54.:07:03.

possible. When? Er... I would certainly be very disappointed if we

:07:04.:07:05.

weren't seeing some improvement happening in the course of the next

:07:06.:07:08.

six months. But all that has happened since is a pilot project on

:07:09.:07:12.

small sections of the rivers The agency has agreed further dredging

:07:13.:07:16.

would ease flooding. But there's no money for it. They reckon that

:07:17.:07:25.

stretch just ten kilometres `` dredge just dangle metres of these

:07:26.:07:31.

rivers would cost tens of thousands of pounds. They have not raise

:07:32.:07:37.

enough money yet. No money, no dredging. We could be back here next

:07:38.:07:43.

year. The arguments will be explored in more detail on inside out micro

:07:44.:07:50.

`` on Inside Out tonight at 7:3 pm. A mother from Bristol has been

:07:51.:07:54.

talking about how her baby was taken away from her ` after incorrect

:07:55.:07:57.

concerns that he was being abused. Little Harrison was just six weeks

:07:58.:08:00.

old when his parents took him to hospital, where doctors noticed that

:08:01.:08:04.

he had multiple fractured bones He was removed from his parents. But it

:08:05.:08:08.

was only 18 months later that they realised the injuries were a result

:08:09.:08:11.

of a medical condition ` and not abuse. Laura Jones has been looking

:08:12.:08:16.

into this and is here now with more. Laura.

:08:17.:08:23.

This dates back to February 200 , when Amy Howell took her son

:08:24.:08:27.

Harrison to hospital. He hadn't been well for a while but nobody knew

:08:28.:08:32.

why. Doctors noticed he had lots of fractures to various bones, which

:08:33.:08:36.

led to suspicions of abuse and ultimately to his being taken away

:08:37.:08:41.

from his parents. A paediatrician came rushing into the room with

:08:42.:08:45.

three other staff members and the atmosphere had completely changed

:08:46.:08:49.

from there. She was vicious, really vicious. "You've done something

:08:50.:08:56.

someone has abused this boy. You must have caused the fractures" . I

:08:57.:09:03.

broke down in tears. The council in charge of this case is South

:09:04.:09:06.

Gloucestershire. In a statement today they said... They also said

:09:07.:09:15.

they had a duty to ensure children were safeguarded. They said they

:09:16.:09:19.

regret the distress the investigation caused to the family.

:09:20.:09:23.

Harrison and his older sister, who had been sent to live with her

:09:24.:09:27.

grandmother, were returned to them 18 months later after it was that

:09:28.:09:32.

Harrison was suffering from a genetic condition and severe that

:09:33.:09:35.

indeed efficiency, which explained his injuries. `` severe vitamin D

:09:36.:09:47.

deficiency. Across the UK, 10,2 8 applications were made to take

:09:48.:09:51.

children away from their parents. That was 11% higher than in 201 .

:09:52.:09:58.

These figures come from Cafcass the organisation that looks after the

:09:59.:10:00.

interests of children in the family courts. They say that following

:10:01.:10:04.

recent high`profile cases, local authorities are under pressure to

:10:05.:10:09.

act. I think we have a responsibility to make our family

:10:10.:10:12.

courts better, to make them more transparent, to build public

:10:13.:10:20.

confidence in them and to advocate leaving them altogether doesn't

:10:21.:10:23.

solve the problem for the vast majority of children and parents who

:10:24.:10:26.

need our courts to be as good as they possibly can be. Harrison, who

:10:27.:10:32.

is now six, still has the same condition and does still have pain

:10:33.:10:35.

in his bones but is receiving treatment. And you can see more on

:10:36.:10:40.

his story ` and similar ones ` on I Want My Baby Back ` A Panorama

:10:41.:10:43.

Special. That's at nine o'clock tonight on BBC One.

:10:44.:10:49.

It's a blustering Monday evening and we're glad you can join us. Ian will

:10:50.:10:53.

be here with the weather round`up shortly.

:10:54.:11:02.

A perfect storm continent means that here in Gloucestershire there is

:11:03.:11:07.

even work for these guys. `` perfect storm on the continent.

:11:08.:11:12.

Cheltenham may be known for its affluent image but experts say

:11:13.:11:15.

problems in the town's deprived areas can be worse than elsewhere.

:11:16.:11:22.

Some young children who grow up in the face of poverty can be up to two

:11:23.:11:25.

years behind in their development. But those who work with parents in

:11:26.:11:29.

the town say more of them are being offered help which is making a

:11:30.:11:32.

difference. Here's our Gloucestershire reporter, Steve

:11:33.:11:36.

Knibbs. In parts of Cheltenham, a third of

:11:37.:11:40.

children live in poverty. That doesn't mean they'll be badly

:11:41.:11:43.

brought up but, in a few cases, it does affect their development. Some

:11:44.:11:48.

children as old as three in the town can't talk properly and others lack

:11:49.:11:52.

confidence. At this children's centre, staff are working hard to

:11:53.:11:55.

instil the fundamentals of parenting to those that need it. Society is so

:11:56.:12:04.

dependent on technology, I think people have moved away from good

:12:05.:12:07.

conversations with their children, telling stories, using every

:12:08.:12:12.

opportunity to develop language It's so important coming into

:12:13.:12:15.

nurseries and schools because we're feeding these children into

:12:16.:12:20.

schools. They need a chance to be equal to everyone else. It's all

:12:21.:12:23.

about opportunity and the challenge here is getting parents involved.

:12:24.:12:30.

This woman and her partner live on benefits. Initially she didn't feel

:12:31.:12:33.

the need to get a help but, in hindsight, coming here before she

:12:34.:12:36.

even gave birth made a huge difference. It developed my skills

:12:37.:12:48.

as a mum. When I was pregnant, I did a course called Parents With

:12:49.:12:55.

Prospects, which developed awareness of the development needs of

:12:56.:12:59.

children. It taught me a lot. The littlest things that you might think

:13:00.:13:05.

our common`sense. Barnardo's says a family with two adults and two

:13:06.:13:09.

children under 13 needs just over ?300 a week after paying the rent to

:13:10.:13:13.

be above the poverty line. So in deprived areas of Cheltenham,

:13:14.:13:17.

financial help is vital to help children whose families struggle.

:13:18.:13:22.

?80,000 a year going to one grammar school alone and they are spending

:13:23.:13:28.

that very well, on things that make a difference, like social workers

:13:29.:13:32.

extra maths and, support the parents. Organisations that work

:13:33.:13:38.

with parents in Cheltenham say more of them are asking for help. It s

:13:39.:13:42.

better for the children and makes the job of mum and dad what it

:13:43.:13:45.

should be ` rewarding. And you can hear more about the

:13:46.:13:48.

issues surrounding Cheltenham's poverty gap throughout the week with

:13:49.:13:51.

our colleagues on BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

:13:52.:13:55.

Now for a bright idea that could help save lives. It's a new type of

:13:56.:13:59.

light for cyclists which uses a laser to help drivers spot them on

:14:00.:14:05.

the roads. Ali Vowles is in Bath and has been finding out how it all

:14:06.:14:13.

works. Ali, what do you think? Well, as a cyclist, Sabet, I would

:14:14.:14:19.

have to say I put any light on because having been knocked off

:14:20.:14:23.

myself, I dress like a Christmas tree ` a neon Christmas tree. This

:14:24.:14:29.

is how the laser is going to look. There is a bicycle you can see on

:14:30.:14:33.

the pavement. It's to show drivers that a bike is coming. All the

:14:34.:14:38.

people I've spoken to today think it is a brilliant idea but some think

:14:39.:14:42.

it's pointless. I thought you could make up your own opinion. Look at

:14:43.:14:47.

this. It's not always easy sharing the

:14:48.:14:51.

road. Cyclists and drivers can have very different views on who should

:14:52.:14:56.

be where and when. Hundreds of cyclists are killed or seriously

:14:57.:15:00.

injured each year but young Bath entrepreneur Emily Brooke thinks

:15:01.:15:04.

she's come up with a solution. It tackles the biggest cause of

:15:05.:15:07.

vitality, the blind spot, or vehicles turning across an unseen

:15:08.:15:13.

bike. 79% Wykes hit our travelling straight ahead and somebody turns

:15:14.:15:16.

into them. So this is a front facing light that you have to have by law.

:15:17.:15:21.

It's brighter and it's not flashing and it also has a laser. It projects

:15:22.:15:26.

the symbol of a bike onto the road in front of you. And it's this that

:15:27.:15:30.

warns the driver a cyclist is approaching. Emily also thinks it'll

:15:31.:15:36.

be a help to drivers waiting at a junction and also for pedestrians

:15:37.:15:40.

waiting to cross the road. But can a laser be saved to the human eye

:15:41.:15:44.

It's got a diffractive optical element, which disperses the light

:15:45.:15:49.

and makes it completely safe for eyes. ?50,000 was raised to get the

:15:50.:15:57.

idea of the ground. A factory in China is already in production. In

:15:58.:16:02.

the last few days, she's been in Las Vegas pitching the idea at the

:16:03.:16:07.

finals of a massive tech conference. Her pitch got her through to the

:16:08.:16:13.

final four. Not bad for a West Country girl. Initial reactions seem

:16:14.:16:20.

positive. I think it's a great idea and really does address the serious

:16:21.:16:24.

problem for cyclists, so anything that can improve cycle safety is a

:16:25.:16:29.

great thing. It's a simple idea possibly saving lives by being seen.

:16:30.:16:33.

It will be put to the test when the first batch goes on sale at the end

:16:34.:16:38.

of the month. Sometimes the best ideas are the

:16:39.:16:42.

simple ones but it's not cheap. Emily, it's going to retail at about

:16:43.:16:49.

?125 ` will be bored by it? Of the cyclist is open to, yes, they will.

:16:50.:16:54.

The technology inside is very expensive, especially the laser

:16:55.:16:58.

We're making a very small batch for the first run so as volumes grow,

:16:59.:17:03.

hopefully the price will come down. It's a complicated bit of kit. We

:17:04.:17:07.

decided to put one Bath cyclist of the test. In this particular

:17:08.:17:11.

picture, it will be flashing so if that affects you, be warned. Nigel

:17:12.:17:18.

had a trip around the Guildhall to see what he thought of it. It's

:17:19.:17:22.

quite wet so it makes the road conditions different again. Nigel,

:17:23.:17:28.

what did you make of it? I think it's very interesting. What this

:17:29.:17:32.

could give you as a cyclist is a bit of forward reach. If you've found

:17:33.:17:36.

yourself in a position where you're down the left`hand side of a large

:17:37.:17:38.

vehicle and can't be seen, you're reaching out ahead of you. It's

:17:39.:17:43.

something a driver might see. Having said that, as a cyclist, you want to

:17:44.:17:52.

avoid that and be out in the lane. Out of ten? I'd say seven and what I

:17:53.:17:56.

really like is the research behind it. Seven out of ten is not bad for

:17:57.:18:04.

your first project. I got a first at university. This was a university

:18:05.:18:08.

project a couple of years ago and it's been a busy couple of years.

:18:09.:18:12.

I've learned a lot. I've never done this before, never had a company.

:18:13.:18:17.

All the things I've been learning in the last couple of years means you

:18:18.:18:21.

put yourself in a position to learn and you find people who know and ask

:18:22.:18:25.

a lot of questions. A lot of people have the idea but never get this

:18:26.:18:29.

far. And you're selling through a major retailer in the next few

:18:30.:18:34.

weeks? Yes, through Evans. And also on my own website. The light does

:18:35.:18:39.

shine bright and it might help save lives.

:18:40.:18:44.

In the meantime, Alison, you stay being a Christmas tree on wheels.

:18:45.:18:47.

Their European Cup hopes are over for this season, but Gloucester s

:18:48.:18:50.

director of rugby says their improved performance this weekend

:18:51.:18:52.

has set a benchmark. They were beaten 20 points to seven by group

:18:53.:18:56.

leaders Munster, and must now concentrate on securing a spot in

:18:57.:19:00.

Europe's second tier competition. Alistair Durden reports.

:19:01.:19:08.

They packed to the ground capacity to, hoping to see the side restore

:19:09.:19:12.

some pride after strong criticism of recent home performances. Their

:19:13.:19:20.

quarterfinal hopes rested on beating the two time European champions

:19:21.:19:25.

Munster. The early reception was encouraging enough, even if the

:19:26.:19:29.

finishing was wayward. That allowed Munster to open up a ten point lead

:19:30.:19:37.

with the game's first try. Charlie Sharples, who was overlooked by

:19:38.:19:41.

England last week, gave Kings home a half`time lift. But Gloucester

:19:42.:19:49.

failed to convert any of their second`half territory into points,

:19:50.:19:55.

as Munster's defence held firm. When the tables were turned, Munster gave

:19:56.:19:58.

a lesson in finishing to seal the victory. The character, the spirit,

:19:59.:20:04.

the effort ` that's the benchmark for the rest of the season at the

:20:05.:20:09.

very least. We've showed we can do it in glimpses but it's making that

:20:10.:20:14.

consistent. This was a seventh defeat at Kingsholm this season in

:20:15.:20:17.

all competitions but the supporters, it's time there were

:20:18.:20:22.

grounds for optimism. The scoreline didn't reflect the actual play. We

:20:23.:20:27.

were beaten by a side that didn t play particularly well. I thought we

:20:28.:20:32.

fronted up. I'm pleased with our performance. A few mistakes that

:20:33.:20:38.

that's been our season. They showed a real commitment, really tore into

:20:39.:20:42.

Munster and showed determination. If Gloucester can put in my performance

:20:43.:20:46.

for the rest of the season, sides are going to have a very difficult

:20:47.:20:49.

challenge cup. England's cricketing prospects may

:20:58.:21:00.

not be too bright at the moment but one Somerset teenager is hoping to

:21:01.:21:04.

change things. Aadil Rashid hopes to become the country's next 90 mile an

hour fast bowler. He may have hung up his boots but

:21:22.:21:24.

Stephan Jones has now turned his attention to the next generation and

:21:25.:21:30.

in Aadil Rashid, he's found the perfect pupil. He has the most

:21:31.:21:35.

biomechanical efficient action I've seen in any youngster and is really

:21:36.:21:39.

explosive at the crease. He's got a long delivery stride, a great delay

:21:40.:21:44.

on the bright side of his body. He uses stored energy in his right

:21:45.:21:48.

side, in his pelvis and tips, and he can bowl genuinely quickly. Aadil

:21:49.:21:54.

has just turned 16 and has moved to Wellington school to take advantage

:21:55.:21:59.

of his mental's expertise. Body wise I'm still maturing and I'm learning

at 90 mph a realistic goal? With the structure I've got, I think it's a

:22:12.:22:16.

very credible goal to achieve. With his natural ability, I believe he

can do it. England are crying out for fast bowlers. What's it like

being at the other end? I'll tell you what, put your money where your

you? ! Absolutely not! Finally, some

Shrubsole starred as the England women's team won their Ashes test.

She took three wickets as the Aussies were bowled out for 123 to

delicacy, which has a supply problem from the continent, and add in a

:23:05.:23:09.

fast`growing market in China? The cheeky face gives it away! You've

got a perfect recipe for a boom in demand in goat's cheese. West

:23:14.:23:17.

Country farmers are poised to take full advantage.

It's a chef's favourite. Crumbly, yet Cook a ball. Feisty yet friable.

:23:39.:23:44.

moment, we really can't! This is part of the problem. Not this goat,

:23:45.:23:49.

nor those in France and Holland but right now there is not enough

:23:50.:23:54.

goat's milk to meet demand. The producers have struggled to keep

:23:55.:23:57.

reducing the amount they weren't reducing because of disease

:23:58.:24:01.

outbreaks. French farmers reduced the amount of milk they produce

:24:02.:24:05.

because of the price so that, coupled with increasing demand for

:24:06.:24:10.

goat's milk and goat's milk cheese in the UK, has led to this perfect

:24:11.:24:15.

storm. Added to that extra demand from China and it creates a huge

:24:16.:24:18.

opportunity for farmers and producers over here. A shortage of

:24:19.:24:23.

goat's milk also means a shortage of goat's cheese. In the 1980s it was a

:24:24.:24:29.

very small niche product, only in health food shops. But now it's

:24:30.:24:34.

expanded and goat's cheese and milk and butter is everywhere, in every

:24:35.:24:37.

supermarket. There is a limit to how much we can make here. We could

:24:38.:24:42.

probably sell two or three times as much. We really can't get enough of

:24:43.:24:46.

it and nor can the French. Producers here are hoping they really can get

:24:47.:24:54.

a bigger slice of the cheese market. Imagine the shock and horror of not

having goat's cheese tonight! Headline news, I think you'll

agree! I can't stand cheese at all so I'm

during the course of the week. The jury is out as to what will happen

as we get past the weekend into the following week. Forecast models are

:25:22.:25:24.

chopping and changing between something colder and something

:25:25.:25:30.

milder but drier. For tomorrow at least, good continuity in our

expectations ` it looks like a decent day. Try and bright weather

:25:34.:25:37.

but more patchy rain into the evening. The amounts are not looking

troublesome compared to what we ve had of late. Some of you have seen

:25:41.:25:46.

that today in the form of Sharia law breaks of rain and as that freezes

:25:47.:25:50.

over on a chilly night, we have the Met Office warning out across all of

:25:51.:25:54.

our district for the threat of ice on untreated surfaces. This trough

:25:55.:26:00.

moves and this area of showery rain gathers eastwards. This ridge of

high pressure clears the skies, particularly the further west you

:26:07.:26:10.

are. It remains a decent story until this front moves in tomorrow

:26:11.:26:17.

morning. For the rest of this evening, some of you have seen heavy

downpours and they continue across parts of Wiltshire, parts of

Somerset, and that are typically as a night years on. In the east to the

bit higher out towards the East but not by much. It chilly night for all

of us and temperatures get down to freezing and perhaps below that in

:26:47.:26:50.

parts of Somerset. Some patchy fog around first thing tomorrow morning.

:26:51.:26:54.

A good deal of sunshine tomorrow morning and it will turn quite hazy.

:26:55.:27:01.

A lot of cloud around. The outbreaks of rain will be a feature as the

:27:02.:27:08.

evening wears on. That's a real mixed bag! It has been

:27:09.:27:14.

all winter. And now we know a little bit more about Ian and his disregard

:27:15.:27:19.

for cheese! That's all from us. We are back

:27:20.:27:23.

later on. From all of us at Points West, good night.
