If you have heard a rumour that things will get colder and sweet,

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to BBC Points West with David Garmston and Imogen Sellers.

:00:07.:00:10.

Our main story tonight. A cry for help from the Somerset Levels. The

:00:11.:00:15.

Council declares a Major Incident with the hope of securing aid from

:00:16.:00:21.

the rest of the UK. The predictions are, more people

:00:22.:00:26.

will be flooded this weekend, 2 0 ` 300 people will be further affected

:00:27.:00:33.

this weekend. We need outside help. But what does the phrase Major

:00:34.:00:36.

Incident actually mean? What difference will it make to people

:00:37.:00:38.

here? Our other stories tonight: The care

:00:39.:00:51.

home worker who raped three residents, now it's revealed he d

:00:52.:00:55.

been arrested in the past. The Last Temptation Of Christ, why a

:00:56.:00:58.

film that many Christians find offensive is to be screened inside

:00:59.:01:04.

Wells Cathedral. The picture it portrays is distorted, incorrect and

:01:05.:01:09.

glass from us. That is not something a cathedral should be showing.

:01:10.:01:16.

And no stopping her now, a World Cup for Bath's Lizzy Yarnold. Next, it's

:01:17.:01:21.

the Winter Olympics. Good evening. The floods on the

:01:22.:01:28.

Somerset Levels have been officially declared a Major Incident by the

:01:29.:01:31.

local council, in the hope that the rest of the United Kingdom will now

:01:32.:01:35.

come to their aid. Parts of the county have been underwater for

:01:36.:01:38.

weeks and Somerset Council wants outside assistance to cope with the

:01:39.:01:41.

scale of the emergency. But there's confusion about what the cry for

:01:42.:01:44.

help actually means. Clinton Rogers in on the Levels tonight.

:01:45.:01:55.

You are right. There is a fusion. What does that mean? It depends on

:01:56.:02:00.

who you ask. It is sending a government to `` to government and

:02:01.:02:05.

anyone else that is listing that we have a problem that is not going

:02:06.:02:09.

away, and a problem that is getting worse. Maybe the military can help,

:02:10.:02:16.

possibly. What ever form the help takes, it is desperately needed

:02:17.:02:24.

The knock at the door that no`one wants. Good afternoon. This

:02:25.:02:31.

afternoon, the fire service were going door to door, warning around

:02:32.:02:37.

30 household owners that their homes were now at risk. Day and night the

:02:38.:02:41.

Environment Agency is pumping water off of the Moore's. As the rain

:02:42.:02:50.

continues to fall, so in places the water continues to rise. Declaring

:02:51.:02:57.

this a Major Incident should open the door for more help coming in. We

:02:58.:03:01.

are not getting on top of it and more water is on the way. We are

:03:02.:03:06.

saying to the government, we need outside help, whether that is the

:03:07.:03:10.

military coming into assist, we have had too many roads blocked for far

:03:11.:03:15.

too long. But those at risk cannot help `` wait for help from the

:03:16.:03:19.

outside. They are preparing for the worst. This man is making plans to

:03:20.:03:25.

evacuate his home. We are getting ready to evacuate. My son and his

:03:26.:03:30.

family are coming down to help us today to put things up on bricks and

:03:31.:03:35.

do what we can do indoors to alleviate the problem. Amid

:03:36.:03:37.

increasingly bitter rows about who is to blame for all of this, people

:03:38.:03:42.

affected by the floods staged a protest of this afternoon outside

:03:43.:03:47.

the offices of the Environment Agency, the organisation they say

:03:48.:03:50.

has turned the problem into a crisis. We have been hung out to

:03:51.:03:57.

dry. They are not interested. It is the responsibility of the

:03:58.:04:00.

Environment Agency to stop this happening again and to dredge the

:04:01.:04:04.

rivers. The agency says they are doing everything they can in the

:04:05.:04:07.

face of exceptional weather, but they say the floods will not be

:04:08.:04:12.

going down anytime soon. The system is so full that it is not going to

:04:13.:04:16.

go away in the next fortnight. It will be with us for at least a

:04:17.:04:24.

month. Really, it is the long haul. Not a message that goes down well

:04:25.:04:28.

here. With more heavy rain forecast for the weekend, anger is turning to

:04:29.:04:34.

fear. Joining me now is an MP. Let me ask

:04:35.:04:42.

you, people are asking what this means. What sort of help? Could we

:04:43.:04:47.

actually the army boots on the ground here? It is quite likely I

:04:48.:04:51.

have spoken to military people today. What could they do? We need

:04:52.:04:58.

more capacity. We need more flood defenses brought in. We have not got

:04:59.:05:04.

that sort of capacity and the military have. We need people coming

:05:05.:05:07.

down from the Environment Agency to build up defenses. More importantly,

:05:08.:05:15.

we need to start talking about the recovery phase. This will eventually

:05:16.:05:19.

stop. We have to get the water out of here. Let's look at specifics. I

:05:20.:05:27.

am hearing about the main road into Glastonbury. Maybe the army could

:05:28.:05:31.

come in and build a bridge. I think that is realistic `` I do not think

:05:32.:05:35.

that is realistic but I think the Army could do an awful lot. They

:05:36.:05:39.

have enormous heavy lifting equipment and they could do that. It

:05:40.:05:45.

is easy to put this together. I have written to be Prime Minister twice

:05:46.:05:49.

today. We have asked for help and to see if he could come down and see

:05:50.:05:53.

what the situation is like. There are people saying about with

:05:54.:05:57.

apologies to those who are affected, it is tens of people, not hundreds

:05:58.:06:04.

of people. That is rubbish. You have a 60,000 population in Thompson We

:06:05.:06:10.

are actually getting water rising still. This is not the case that

:06:11.:06:15.

there is nothing here. We have a main railway line, we have a main

:06:16.:06:20.

road into the West country on the other side. This is ridiculous. The

:06:21.:06:28.

dormant except that, and that is `` the government except that. We know

:06:29.:06:32.

that dredging is an issue. Thank you very much indeed. The rain continues

:06:33.:06:37.

to fall and more is forecast for Sunday. People here are fearing the

:06:38.:06:42.

worst but hoping for the best. Please give our best wishes to those

:06:43.:06:46.

affected their full up thank you. Well, heavy rain is forecast over

:06:47.:06:50.

the weekend. Ian, just how bad is it looking?

:06:51.:06:56.

Regrettably, this truck behind me is just a snapshot. It looks like a map

:06:57.:07:01.

of the Mediterranean. Not a pretty picture for those people in the

:07:02.:07:07.

Somerset Levels. You will have more on that later in the programme.

:07:08.:07:15.

A burst water main has been causing problems for drivers in the centre

:07:16.:07:20.

of Portishead. The damage led to flooding on a section around the

:07:21.:07:23.

high street. Some homes were left without water this afternoon.

:07:24.:07:26.

Bristol Water says it's working to fix the problem.

:07:27.:07:29.

Points West can reveal that a care worker who raped vulnerable women

:07:30.:07:31.

from Gloucestershire had been arrested several years before over

:07:32.:07:37.

an allegation of sexual assault Colin Stokes denied that allegation

:07:38.:07:40.

pleaded guilty in court yesterday to attacks on three women, but now

:07:41.:07:43.

questions are being asked about whether he'd abused before. Our

:07:44.:07:45.

Health Correspondent Matthew Hill has been talking to the mother of

:07:46.:07:52.

one victim. She did this one last week. I asked

:07:53.:07:58.

her this is a picture of `` I asked her who this is a picture of and she

:07:59.:08:02.

said it was Colin, and it is disturbing that he is still on her

:08:03.:08:06.

mind. This woman's daughter will never forget Colin Stokes. She was

:08:07.:08:10.

in her early 30s when she was raped by him, but had the mental age of a

:08:11.:08:13.

six`year`old. Though Stokes's conviction yesterday was for crimes

:08:14.:08:16.

which happened since 2012, questions are now being asked about whether

:08:17.:08:20.

there could be more victims. This woman's sister was at the care home

:08:21.:08:24.

seven years ago, when Stokes was arrested by police. He sexually

:08:25.:08:32.

assaulted another female resident, and my sister was witness as it

:08:33.:08:35.

happened on the stairs. Because of the nature of the disability, I do

:08:36.:08:39.

not think there was enough evidence. The manager at that time said that

:08:40.:08:44.

particular person who made that I `` allegation is always making things

:08:45.:08:49.

up will stop he came back to work, but alarm bells should have been

:08:50.:08:55.

set. `` making things up. Stokes denied any wrongdoing and was never

:08:56.:08:58.

charged. Obtaining credible evidence from vulnerable adults is

:08:59.:09:02.

notoriously difficult. This former head of public protection for Avon

:09:03.:09:05.

and Somerset Police says a lack of evidence means cases are often

:09:06.:09:09.

dropped. Is such an allegation is made, and the burden of proof is not

:09:10.:09:14.

reached for someone to be barred from working with vulnerable adults

:09:15.:09:18.

but the allegation still retains credibility, in other words, it is

:09:19.:09:23.

believable, I think at absolute minimum there should be a clear

:09:24.:09:26.

action plan to manage the potential risk. Years ago, we had a situation

:09:27.:09:34.

where these allegations would be collected and we could see a picture

:09:35.:09:40.

built up about possible perpetrators. That has gotten lost

:09:41.:09:44.

along the way. In this case it took a specialist

:09:45.:09:49.

team to collect the evidence. It was the interview at the police

:09:50.:09:54.

headquarters. There was a specialist woman who deals with symbols and

:09:55.:09:57.

signs, and that is when she really indicated what happened to her.

:09:58.:10:03.

But none of this would have come to light without a whistle`blower who

:10:04.:10:06.

today told the BBC what had happened. One resident told me that

:10:07.:10:11.

Colin comes into her room at night and abuses her. She was devastated

:10:12.:10:15.

and I was absolutely gob smacked `` got smacked.

:10:16.:10:21.

Today the owners of the home told the BBC they are cooperating fully

:10:22.:10:24.

with the investigations. And the police said they have no plans to

:10:25.:10:28.

reopen the investigation into Stokes unless more victims come forward.

:10:29.:10:34.

The University of the West of England is taking legal action after

:10:35.:10:38.

an adult movie was filmed on its Frenchay campus. It was made last

:10:39.:10:45.

summer but staff were made aware of the film recently after seeing it

:10:46.:10:49.

mentioned on social media. The actors who took part were not

:10:50.:10:52.

students and the University is keen to distance itself from the

:10:53.:10:54.

production. Coming up in tonight's programme:

:10:55.:10:58.

We've something to put a smile on your face. It's slapstick time, and

:10:59.:11:01.

some of the country's top comedians are coming to town.

:11:02.:11:12.

A film which has been offending some churchgoers for a quarter of a

:11:13.:11:15.

century is being screened at Wells Cathedral this weekend. Martin

:11:16.:11:24.

Scorsese's The Last Temptation Of Christ includes scenes of Jesus

:11:25.:11:27.

which some believe are blasphemous. So why show it in these sacred

:11:28.:11:30.

surroundings? Scott Ellis has been finding out.

:11:31.:11:34.

Jesus, portrayed as human rather than divine. On release in 1988 it

:11:35.:11:41.

grabbed headlines worldwide. Director Martin Scorese,

:11:42.:11:49.

unapologetic. It deals with the spiritual struggle that Jesus goes

:11:50.:11:53.

through, between the spirit and the flash, just the way we go through

:11:54.:12:00.

it. `` the flash. On Saturday night, it's screened here at Wells

:12:01.:12:03.

Cathedral. And, like Scorese, the Dean isn't about to apologise. It

:12:04.:12:10.

was the director's intent, not to mock Jesus I'm a `` Jesus, he wanted

:12:11.:12:18.

to work in the church when he was younger. The Dean says the Cathedral

:12:19.:12:23.

is a space for everyone and has been throughout the centuries. But some

:12:24.:12:26.

have complained. The cathedral is a place for Jesus is glorified. That

:12:27.:12:32.

is the job of the Dean, to ensure that Jesus gets spoken of as the

:12:33.:12:37.

person of the Bible, as the Hope, the Redeemer, the saviour, the

:12:38.:12:45.

truth. That is what the cathedral should be proclaiming. Here, it

:12:46.:12:48.

seems, they are doing quite the opposite. That is really quite

:12:49.:12:53.

serious. Concerns surround scenes in the film where Jesus has

:12:54.:12:56.

hallucinations in which he marries and has children. It's being shown

:12:57.:13:00.

as part of this year's Bath Film Festival. If people want to show it

:13:01.:13:06.

in the cinema they can, but from my point of view, it is taking a

:13:07.:13:09.

spiritual film and putting it in a spiritual setting. It's unlikely

:13:10.:13:13.

Saturday's screening will cause the protests of old. This churchgoer

:13:14.:13:17.

summing up the views on the city's streets. If non`Christians are going

:13:18.:13:21.

into the cathedral to watch a film, that is good. Good to get them in

:13:22.:13:27.

there. Bums on seats, that is what it is all about. I am sorry I cannot

:13:28.:13:31.

be there to share the experience with you. Martin Scorcese's even

:13:32.:13:35.

recorded this introduction for tomorrow night's viewing. If you're

:13:36.:13:38.

going, listen out for the film's soundtrack. It was recorded by Peter

:13:39.:13:41.

Gabriel and stars the cathedral s choristers.

:13:42.:13:56.

A scientist in Bristol has come up with a way of mass producing

:13:57.:13:59.

drinking water that could one day help in disaster zones or even

:14:00.:14:02.

floods. The technology sucks contaminated water in and can make

:14:03.:14:05.

hundreds of litres clean each hour. Andrew Plant has more.

:14:06.:14:10.

This pond is full of all sorts of bacteria. We take the water out of

:14:11.:14:14.

this pond through this pipe, and it goes into the shed, and that is

:14:15.:14:20.

where we do the treatment. In the grounds of the University of the

:14:21.:14:24.

West of England, the beginnings of a new technology that could one day

:14:25.:14:27.

change the way we make drinkable water from the waste water around

:14:28.:14:31.

us. That is really, really, really smelly. Chlorine is commonly used

:14:32.:14:38.

across the world to purify large quantities of water which must then

:14:39.:14:40.

be filtered, but the chemical attacks the filtration system.

:14:41.:14:47.

Disinfected water is very expensive, and it requires chlorine. For

:14:48.:14:53.

producing thousands of litres in a short space of time, it is not

:14:54.:15:00.

possible. The hope here is that this new disinfectant, made from just

:15:01.:15:03.

salt and water, will mean easier and more abundant supplies. These were

:15:04.:15:06.

the scenes in Gloucestershire in 2007, when water supplies became

:15:07.:15:09.

contaminated by floods and overflowing sewage. Professor

:15:10.:15:15.

Reynolds hopes this early technology could transform humanitarian

:15:16.:15:17.

disasters abroad and those that happen much closer to home. Not too

:15:18.:15:34.

bad. The weekend has just begun. We are

:15:35.:15:43.

going to move on to the sport. A sportswoman who trains in Bath has

:15:44.:15:47.

become a World Cup winner today Alistair Durden is here with

:15:48.:15:49.

tonight's sport. Ali, this is in the Skeleton event

:15:50.:15:53.

isn't it? Yes, this is Lizzy Yarnold who's become the third British woman

:15:54.:15:57.

to wind the World Cup series. You can see she was pretty delighted.

:15:58.:16:00.

The final race was this morning in Germany. Let's take a look at how

:16:01.:16:04.

she got on. The conditions in Konigsee were tricky to say the

:16:05.:16:08.

least. She had such a big lead in the table that she only needed to

:16:09.:16:13.

finish her run to take the title. As it was the snow came down so hard

:16:14.:16:17.

after the first heat that they abandoned the second heat and she

:16:18.:16:22.

was crowned World Cup champion. It is amazing to say I and a World Cup

:16:23.:16:28.

champion. It is such an achievement. To be consistent with the seven

:16:29.:16:35.

podium finishes on a it is a record and such an achievement, and then to

:16:36.:16:39.

have this crystal globe for life, it is the best thing about my whole

:16:40.:16:44.

career, and hopefully the Olympics oh well as well. Fantastic news for

:16:45.:16:50.

her. It must set her up well for the Winter Olympics?

:16:51.:16:53.

I think she is a clear favourite are the gold medal. She finished on the

:16:54.:17:02.

podium in seven of the eight World Cup races, winning four of them She

:17:03.:17:06.

heads to Sochi as favourite for the gold medal.

:17:07.:17:08.

But don't discount Pewsey's Shelley Rudman. She finished the World Cup

:17:09.:17:11.

season in third place after another strong performance in Germany this

:17:12.:17:14.

morning. And her previous Olympic experience makes her a real force.

:17:15.:17:17.

Either way, it's great we have two genuinely good chances at winning

:17:18.:17:19.

medals next month. Very exciting as far as the gelatin

:17:20.:17:23.

is concerned. Let's have a week at `` look at the weekend football

:17:24.:17:30.

Yeovil Town have the chance to add to their growing list of FA Cup

:17:31.:17:34.

upsets when they travel to Premier League Southampton. In their

:17:35.:17:36.

non`league days, the Glovers beat over 20 league clubs in the

:17:37.:17:39.

competition. They even made their mascot a giant in recognition of

:17:40.:17:42.

those achievements. So who better, ahead of their biggest cup tie in a

:17:43.:17:46.

decade, to guide us through a potted history of their achievements?

:17:47.:17:49.

As non`league minnows, Yeovil Town were famous for punching above their

:17:50.:17:52.

weight in the FA Cup. Their most famous wind was in 1949 when they

:17:53.:17:59.

beat top`flight Sunderland. Down the years, many others perished at their

:18:00.:18:02.

hands, the likes of Brentford, Northampton and Blackpool.

:18:03.:18:08.

He has certainly had his moments down the years. Southampton, there

:18:09.:18:16.

is a tie to rekindle that old cup magic. The budgets of the two teams

:18:17.:18:28.

are astronomically apart. I cannot think of a bigger word. We respect

:18:29.:18:35.

how good they are, but of course there have been bigger upsets than

:18:36.:18:39.

this in the FA Cup, and if we can cause an upset or bring them back to

:18:40.:18:45.

the park, that is like getting through to the next round against

:18:46.:18:47.

another Premier League club, financially. Yeovil are rightly

:18:48.:18:52.

proud of their giant`killing past, it put the club on the map. Now as

:18:53.:18:56.

a Championship team, they're facing famous names every week. But the cup

:18:57.:18:59.

still retains its magic for supporters. They are one of the best

:19:00.:19:05.

44 clubs in the country now, whereas back then, there were 100 above us,

:19:06.:19:11.

so we are not the little old team anymore. We still get excited about

:19:12.:19:15.

the FA Cup. It is the anniversary of us beating Sunderland. If we beat

:19:16.:19:22.

Southampton on Saturday, I think that will be a fantastic

:19:23.:19:26.

achievement, amongst the best big club has ever done.

:19:27.:19:32.

That's why the club sold out its allocation of 3,500 tickets in one

:19:33.:19:36.

morning. And why everyone's keen to catch the manager's eye, as Yeovil

:19:37.:19:40.

try to make it into the fifth round for only the second time in their

:19:41.:19:45.

history. I think I would play them up front,

:19:46.:19:51.

to be honest! Tomorrow marks the 20 year

:19:52.:19:54.

anniversary of one of Bristol City's great cup moments against Liverpool.

:19:55.:20:00.

Last night, the team of 1994 were reunited at a dinner, including

:20:01.:20:03.

goal`scorer Brian Tinnion, whose strike knocked the Premier League

:20:04.:20:06.

team out 1`0 in the replay at Anfield.

:20:07.:20:10.

The team played really well. Some fantastic performances. I was lucky

:20:11.:20:15.

enough to get the goal and take some plaudits for that, but it was a

:20:16.:20:19.

great team effort. And it was fantastic for all of the people who

:20:20.:20:24.

were there last night. On paper we could not match them that we put in

:20:25.:20:31.

such great determination for the fans.

:20:32.:20:36.

No FA Cup game for City tomorrow, they're away to Wolves in the

:20:37.:20:39.

league. Swindon and Bristol Rovers have home games, while Cheltenham

:20:40.:20:42.

head to Plymouth. All the goals in our Sunday evening bulletin.

:20:43.:20:45.

And in rugby, Gloucester are away to Scarlets in the LV Cup tonight. Bath

:20:46.:20:49.

at home to Cardiff Blues tomorrow. And Bristol play Plymouth Albion in

:20:50.:20:53.

the Championship on Sunday. Going to be busy over the weekend! I

:20:54.:20:57.

will be here with all of the gold on Sunday evening. `` goals.

:20:58.:21:07.

If you're thinking that January is a bleak month, we have something that

:21:08.:21:12.

might cheer you up. Yes, it's the time of year when comedy stars

:21:13.:21:15.

descend on Bristol for the annual Slapstick Festival. This year,

:21:16.:21:18.

regulars such as Barry Cryer and the members of The Goodies are joined by

:21:19.:21:22.

the likes of Harry Hill and Omid Djalili. Sally Challoner is at the

:21:23.:21:25.

Colston Hall where it's all about to kick off.

:21:26.:21:29.

I am right by the stage actually. There are just doing their

:21:30.:21:33.

last`minute rehearsals. That is the Bristol ensemble who is going to be

:21:34.:21:38.

playing later. Yes, we really are lucky in this part of the world with

:21:39.:21:42.

our festivals, and this one is world class. It's been going for ten years

:21:43.:21:46.

now, attracting the biggest names in comedy, and reviving interest in the

:21:47.:21:49.

silent greats, like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and my own personal

:21:50.:21:52.

favourite, Harold Lloyd. We'll talk to the organiser and tonight's

:21:53.:21:55.

special guest in a moment, but first some shameless use of a black and

:21:56.:21:58.

white film that's more than 100 years old.

:21:59.:22:01.

There's something about the old black and white silents that keep

:22:02.:22:04.

people laughing, no matter how corny the plot, or how primitive the

:22:05.:22:07.

effects. This is That Fatal Sneeze, a British film made back in 190 .

:22:08.:22:12.

That affection for silent movies launched the Slapstick Festival ten

:22:13.:22:17.

years ago. It's still going strong, attracting modern comedians from

:22:18.:22:23.

across the genre. This year, TV favourite Harry Hill, lately

:22:24.:22:26.

starring in this, his own film, is here, sharing his favourite comedy

:22:27.:22:29.

moments and influences on stage on Sunday. How many times, no strippers

:22:30.:22:45.

on a weeknight? But tonight, Charlie Chaplin's film

:22:46.:22:48.

City Lights will launch the festival, accompanied by Chaplin's

:22:49.:22:51.

own original score performed live by a 39 piece orchestra. They've been

:22:52.:22:54.

rehearsing this week to achieve that perfect comic timing for which

:22:55.:22:59.

Chaplin himself was rightly famous. And hosting the film tonight is the

:23:00.:23:02.

comedian and actor Omid Djalili himself a big Chaplin fan. I

:23:03.:23:11.

understand that in your very early career you had something of a

:23:12.:23:17.

Charlie Chaplin Lake moment. I owe my whole comedy career to

:23:18.:23:22.

slapstick. Someone spilled beer on me, and as I ran, I slipped on it,

:23:23.:23:28.

and the audience laughed. I cannot get the microphone out of the stand

:23:29.:23:33.

and it ain't me in the head and I cut myself and they laughed all stop

:23:34.:23:41.

`` it banged to me in the head and I cut myself and they laughed. I fell

:23:42.:23:44.

off the stage and I asked someone to help me back up. I was wearing black

:23:45.:23:49.

trousers and I ripped my trousers as I put one of my legs up. I waltzed

:23:50.:23:55.

onto the stage with a beer and I asked if I could start again and I

:23:56.:23:58.

got such a massive laugh that people said there was a new Charlie Chaplin

:23:59.:24:03.

act and that I was a genius. It was a mistake! You probably cannot have

:24:04.:24:10.

recreated that if you wanted to It takes real deal, and that is what we

:24:11.:24:16.

are here. These people are extremely skilled at what they do. Slapstick

:24:17.:24:20.

is the essence of humour, because it is absurd, and life is absurd.

:24:21.:24:27.

Fantastic. Don't fall off the stage tonight, unless the cameras are

:24:28.:24:33.

rolling. We can speak to the festival director. What have you got

:24:34.:24:37.

this year? After the call of this evening, which will be fantastic, we

:24:38.:24:42.

have another 12 events over the weekend. We have a speaker who will

:24:43.:24:49.

talk about Benny Hill. It is going to be fantastic. Ten years of

:24:50.:24:57.

slapstick. And it is sold out already tonight. Have a great

:24:58.:25:01.

festival. I am looking forward to the film tonight. Thank you very

:25:02.:25:03.

much. We can all certainly do with a laugh

:25:04.:25:09.

due to the weather. As it is, here is even with the forecast. At least

:25:10.:25:15.

Saturday is going to bring some dry prospects. As we get into the

:25:16.:25:17.

evening, there will be some showery rain which will be quite heavy. The

:25:18.:25:24.

rain will be spreading in from the west fairly rapidly. A colder regime

:25:25.:25:32.

will usher in to set up the coldest snap of the winter so far. A warning

we have got exceptional circumstances with the Somerset

the ten o'clock news to keep you updated. And Sunday politics is

worth a watch. Otherwise, the whole team will be with you on Monday

Have a nice weekend. Take care.
