Good evening, I'm Charlie McArdle welcome to BBC Channel Islands. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Disabled islanders face a daily struggle for access. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
The provision of a ramp or outside lift which wheelchairs could use | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
will obviously solve the problem. I think it's a good opportunity to be | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
in the vanguard of a lot of local businesses over here to provide for | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
this sort of facility. tighter regulations for commercial | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
vessels in Guernsey. And from cradle to grave - | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
400 years of family history We have another cold night, | :00:35. | :00:50. | |
widespread frost and sunshine tomorrow, turning mist later. All | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
the details of me later in the programme. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
People with disabilities in Jersey say they are facing daily | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
difficulties because of limited access to commercial premises. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Although the Islands government is holding a public consultation | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
into the concerns disabled residents have, some say the island | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
has a long way to go to become disabled-friendly. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
John's local post office is soon to be based here at the reception | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
But the only way in is up these stairs. | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
The provision of a ramp or outside lift which wheelchairs could use | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
And it's a good opportunity for Jersey Evening Post | :01:32. | :01:43. | |
in the vanguard of a lot of local businesses over here to provide | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
But like many old buildings in Jersey, this one wasn't designed | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
And changing it isn't as simple as it seems. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
We've got the added complication of running it as a through road | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
as well, so we have traffic running right by those stairs so we've got | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
to be considerate of how people would get onto a ramp or elevator. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
So we'd have to look at building a refuge | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
for them first and foremost, so it would mean a whole | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
redesign of the front of building, which is why we're spending a bit | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
more time than just putting a ramp up. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Navigating around St Helier can be a bit of a minefield. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
This is a particularly difficult challenge, | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
door and step, so I have to push with hand that works. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Pam is partially paralysed after a stroke, and often | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
While she has sympathy for businesses, she feels the island | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
has a long way to go to become disabled-friendly. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
A lot of the buildings are listed, they problems obviously, | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
but there are ways around it, temporary ramps that can be lifted | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
up and taken in at the end of the day, and I think it's time | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Jersey really has to start thinking about disabled people. | :02:43. | :02:55. | |
This town told us that they do have ramps for people who need them. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
We asked for comment from the Town Centre Manager, | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
the Infrastructure Minister, and Jersey Post but they either | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
didn't get back to us or they said it didn't come | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
But with new disability laws set to come in next year, | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Disabled access could be higher on people's agenda. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Three Guernsey midwives who are facing charges of misconduct | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
following the death of a baby at Guernsey's Princess Elizabeth | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Hospital in 2014 will have to wait until next month to find out | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Lisa Granville, Antonia Manousaki and Tuija Roussel accept | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
some of the charges, and deny others. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
All three worked on Loveridge Ward at the time. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Their hearing will resume on the 6th of February. | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
Controversial proposals to introduce tighter regulations for commercial | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
vessels in Guernsey have been making waves among the island's | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Following the adoption of the UK Port Marine Safety Code, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the Harbour Master must review current legislation and also | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
A proposed Bailiwick of Guernsey code is at consultation stage. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Poor communication, complacency, and a failure to follow safety | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
procedures led to this passenger ferry hitting a reef last year. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
And now safety regulations are being tightened up. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
A consultation's underway that will affect all | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Some of the key proposals are that there needs to be: | :04:15. | :04:27. | |
More qualifications for crew members. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
And also a full time engineer present for every journey. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Guernsey's Harbour master is proposing the changes. | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
He says safety is ultimately his responsibility. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
We aren't suggesting people are not experienced or have a wealth of | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
knowledge and competence, but we need to have that in some sort of | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
structure that we can force and monitor as the agency and ultimately | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
the people who December and explaining the awful event of an | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
incident happening. -- who have to stand there and explain. | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
This man's worked in shipping for 50 years | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
But he says the new safety code would mean that he wouldn't be | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
allowed to work on any commercial vessels. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
The qualifications is currently written are very stringent, and as | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
it stands, I wouldn't be able to work on any of the vessels. That is | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
quite a high standard? I'm not sure it was the intention, but that is | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
how it was worded, and that's where you engage in consultation. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
Peshmerga that's why you engage. -- that is why you engage. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
The consultation finishes at the end of the month with the new code | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
For the first time ever, Jersey baptism, marriage and death | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
records going back to 1540 have been made available to search online. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
A collection of 72,000 images can now be viewed at ancestry.com due | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
to a two-year collaboration with jersey Heritage. | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Jon De La Haye has been delving into the islands history. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
We have lots of different people here. We have somebody whose father | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
was a painter, a gardener, we have an illegitimate child here. So we've | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
got lots of information here that people can use to trace their family | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
history. A 19th century baptism | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
register from St Helier - now accessible online | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
for anyone to see. Thousands of images featuring | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
hundreds of thousands of people between 1540 and 1940 are now | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
available - and these documents have already helped those | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
tracing their roots. We actually had a couple in on | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
Saturday, and they came in to the archive, they knew that the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
gentleman's grandfather had left Jersey in the 1920s, but they didn't | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
really know anything else about the family. Within an hour, we were back | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
to the 1760s by using the Parish records. Richter baptisms, the | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
marriage of the parents. They are wonderful for building up the family | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
tree. Bye many of Jersey's more famous. -- many of Jersey's more | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
famous. famous residents also | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
feature in these records, from Jessie Boot, World number one | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
golfer Harry Vardon, The Church of England documents | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
needed to be legally released by Jersey's Dean, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
who thought they should be by people, so should belong | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
to them to be accessed. The secrets of 400 years of Jersey's | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
history is now available to members of this website, | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
but also for free here Jersey Reds have reached the quarter | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
finals of the British Irish Cup. They faced Ulster A for a place in | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
the final eight of the rugby cup - but the Irish side didn't make it | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
an easy win for the hosts It was a strong start for the Reds | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
at St Peter as Uili Kolo'ofa'i scored the first points | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
in the match. But with a home quarter | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
final up for grabs - a first for the island - | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
guest side Ulster A wasn't They soon made it equal with this | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
try and then McPhillips conversion But despite a good effort | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
from the Reds and a strong support crowd of over 1400 at | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
St Peters, the home side And that gap continued | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
to grow in the second half. Ulster went 11 points | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
ahead with a 21-10 lead. But with lots of board | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
banging and encouragement from the supporters, | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
the hosts fought back. With just ten minutes to go, | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Jersey finally over took And went even further to win | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
the match 26-21 to make history. We knew how big a game | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
this was and the reward of a home quarter final, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
I think um more impressive was how we - the way we went | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
about our business today. We showed character and we got | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
a bonus point to win. To come from 21-10 down | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
was exceptional and the boys really Jersey Reds now hope this success | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
and a home quarter final will enable them to repeat last seasons success | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
and make it through to the semifinal Fixtures for the British Irish | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
cup quarter finals have Jersey will host Cornish Pirates | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
on the second weekend in March. It's been a very cold few | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
days in the Islands, with most of us waking up | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
to a blanket of frost. Not good if you need | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
to scrape the car windscreen, but fantastic conditions for taking | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
great pictures, which some have you have posted | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
to our Facebook page. Tristan Boscher captured this | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
magical shot of the sun coming And Laura Garnham took this | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
in the lanes of St Saviours. If you've got a great picture | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
there is way you can share it to many others and possibly be seen | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
across the BBC, it's David Braine can tell us | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
more and of course bring You are quite right. If you look for | :09:55. | :10:07. | |
BBC weather Watchers, you can register and send your photographs | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
in. Not just seen across the Channel islands, seen right across the | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
world. This is one of our weather Watchers, a lovely shot of Guernsey | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
in the morning sunshine this morning. But as we have been seeing, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
the frost is already starting to form. It is another bitterly cold | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
night to come. A frosty start tomorrow. Fine and sunny again, but | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
perhaps turning a bit misty overnight tomorrow night. And into | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
the early hours of Wednesday morning. For the most part, it is | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
still a dry story. The high pressure which has been with us since the | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
start of the year is very stubborn. It's sticking its hills and again, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
still across as buying the middle of the day tomorrow. There are several | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
mother fronts trying to move into western Europe. -- weather fronts. | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
They bump up the area of high pressure, squeezy isobars and give | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
us a strong wind on Thursday. Thursday could end up being quite a | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
raw feeling day, not only will it be windy but with the cold it will feel | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
quite bitter. Quite a high wind chill factor as well. The cloud | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
covering the south-eastern part of UK has been mist and low cloud, and | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
for all of us overnight tonight the skies will be largely clear. Which | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
will allow those temperatures to get pretty much where they were last | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
night, zero, possibly as low as minus one. Widespread overnight | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
frost to start tomorrow morning across the islands. Tomorrow is | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
another fine day was the frost has lifted. The wind light in, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
eventually coming in from the South or Southwest. That will help | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
temperatures up to nine or 10 degrees as a maximum. At times of | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
high water. And for our servers, the wave size is increasing. Quite a big | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
swell developing in the Atlantic, some waves will come ashore. 2-4 | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
feet. The coastal waters forecast, southerly force to 23-macro, | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
generally fair with good visibility. Wednesday could start of cold, and a | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
bit misty. And then a breezy and cold feeling day on Thursday. Have a | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
good evening. Charlie. Thanks, David, nice haircut. If you have a | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
great picture, we would like to see them. You can post them on the | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
weather watchers page, or our Facebook page. | :12:23. | :12:23. | |
You're up to date with the news from the Channel islands - | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
I'll be back at 8pm with an update and then again at 10.30pm. | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
A mother from Somerset calling for a fresh investigation | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
into the death of her son on the Isles of Scilly has | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
had a private meeting with a senior police officer. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
Tracey Clayton says she's convinced someone else was responsible | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
for the death of her son Josh on Tresco 16 months ago. | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
Last week, a coroner ordered Devon and Cornwall Police to investigate | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Mrs Clayton has been speaking exclusively | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Before I take my last breath, we will know what happened to my boy. | :13:00. | :13:13. | |
Without a doubt, we will find out and we will get justice for Josh. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
When police on the Isles of Scilly found the body of Josh Clayton, they | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
put it down to accidental death. The bar manager vanished after attending | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
a private party on Tresco. His body was discovered ten days later. Last | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
week, an inquest into his death was halted when evidence emerged. This | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
man, Leroy Thomas, told the hearing he witnessed Josh arguing with a | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
group of men. The coroner said the police needed to reinvestigate. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
Which has given some hope to Josh Clayton's family who remain | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
convinced someone else was responsible for his death. I have | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
had a meeting with Devon and Cornwall police, a senior police | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
officer, who has assured me he will review and hopefully look for any | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
gaps that happened throughout the investigation. It definitely was not | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
an accident. I have thought it from day one, I still believe it now. The | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
police force have issued a statement saying we were only made aware of | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
the new evidence at the inquest and are carrying out further enquiries. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
It is not clear how long they will take all what they will uncover | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
given the matter of time since Josh Clayton died. His mother who until | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
now has said she wanted a new force to investigate says she will give | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Devon and Cornwall a week to convince heard they are serious | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
about uncovering the truth. A 300-year-old Dartmoor Bridge has | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
been struck by motorists more Devon County Council says the cost | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
of repairing the ancient structure but they now have a plan | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
to cut the cost. Today, CCTV cameras at the bridge | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
have been turned on and motorists who hit the bridge will be | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
charged for repairs. You might expect to be watched by | :15:08. | :15:23. | |
cameras here. But what about here? From today, Big Brother is watching | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
this bridge. Built in the era of the horse and cart, it now has to cope | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
with much more. The area north of Ashburton is popular with canoeists | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
and walkers as well as being a busy route for locals. But despite | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
warning signs, some drivers are taking risks. Risks which are | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
damaging the bridge and taking time and money to repair. Over 20 years | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
it has been repeatedly damaged many times in a year and recently that | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
seems to have got worse, say we are introducing the CCTV as a final | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
resource. New home bridge is one of nearly 3005 Hundred Rd bridges in | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
Devon. The county council has a budget of ?100,000 to fix accident | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
damage on all of them. Last year they went over that budget in South | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
Devon alone. We cannot afford to keep spending out money like we are | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
doing at the present time. It will cost around ?9,000 to pretend that | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
we think we can recover that money over the course of one year. How do | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
local people feel about CCTV cameras being used here? Horrified. This is | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
creeping urbanisation, it does not belong on Dartmoor but the more I | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
thought about it and the amount of damage, putting up signs does not | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
deter people send the charging them well. Anyone caught on camera who | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
fills to stop will be contacted by the council which will reclaim costs | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
for repairs from the driver or their insurer. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
It's time for the sport now and Natalie's here | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
After last week's glamour of the FA Cup, Plymouth Argyle got back | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
to League business with a 2-1 win away at Cheltenham. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
The victory means they're still second in Division 2. | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
The Pilgrims took the lead in the 26th minute when Sonny Bradley | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
After Cheltenham had equalised, fans had to wait until stoppage time | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
It's the second time this season the centreback has | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
It was the meeting of the two in-form teams of the division | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
and Exeter came out on top, beating Colchester 3-0. | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Reuben Reid, David Wheeler and Liam McAlinden scored the goals | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
giving the Grecians' playoff hopes a big boost. | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
It's 999 for Exeter - they're now ninth in the league, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
have extended their unbeaten run to nine and ended Colchester's | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Yeovil could have had it all, but had to settle | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
Francois Zoko put them ahead - Blackpool drew level and then | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
Darren Ward put the Glovers back in the lead. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
It looked like they would hold on, but they were denied in the fifth | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
The Exeter Chiefs are out of Europe after losing | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
They reached the quarterfinals stage last year, but this term lost four | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
of their six pool games, making for an early exit. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Their French hosts scored seven tries while the Chiefs replied | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Rob Baxter said he was very disappointed with the manner | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
of their departure from a competition. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
He feels sure the Chiefs could win at some stage. | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
Now, it's time to meet the Wrinklies - that's not what I've called them - | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
They've got an average age of 80 and their oldest player is 94 - | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
incidentally her baby brother is 92 and he plays too. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
They meet in Ottery St Mary once a week for a spot of table tennis. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
It keeps them fit and in some cases has changed their lives. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Andy Birkett doesn't quite fit into their age bracket, but he's | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Speed, reactions, agility - things we are told diminish with age. | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
While that may be true, this group of senior sportsmen | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
and women are proof that sometimes guile, finesse and, of course, | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
If I do the housework, I'm allowed out in the afternoon. | :19:26. | :19:34. | |
What is it about coming here and playing table tennis | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
It is the highlight of most people's week, you know. | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
We just look forward to it, have a wonderful time. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
The standard has been going up all the time. | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
Try telling that to Frank that it's just about keeping fit. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
The man with the most fearsome serve in the whole of... | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
As well as the fun side to all of this, there | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Over the last few years, John has offered a number of strokes, | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
For some time now he doesn't know who I am and will ask at least | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
several times a day, I don't know you, who are you? | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
When he's away from here, he can't walk properly up the road, | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
People with dementia tend to get worse like this because they have | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
Physically here, he's different as well. | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
He has never fallen playing table tennis here. | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
And then there is Diana and her 92-year-old baby brother David. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
I'm told the last time these two played a singles match | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
What do you get out of coming here and playing table tennis? | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
I love the company, but I also love table tennis and, you know, | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
I think you have to think about it, and you have to move about a bit, | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
It's better than a rocking chair and a tartan rug. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
I couldn't leave here without testing whether youth | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
I've never been so relieved to lose at something | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
She beat him fair and square! Diana showed him. Some great volleys. | :21:28. | :21:44. | |
Really brilliant. Now, weather is a topic | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
we all like to discuss - too hot, too cold - | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
we're never happy! And the Met Office says last year | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
was the warmest year on record. But does it still snow | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
like it used to? Jemma Woodman has been taking | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
a look back at the great Is anywhere more beautiful | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
than Dartmoor in the snow? And a light dusting at least | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
is pretty much guaranteed But if you think you remember a time | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
when you only have to walk out your front door to be knee-deep | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
in drifts, then you're The older you are, the more | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
likely you are to say, But is that true or just faded | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
memories wrapped up in nostalgia? Time to dip into the | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
archives to find out. In 1963, the south-west bore | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
the brunt of a series There were large-scale | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
rescue operations. The chief one was the | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
relief of Whittendown. But in 2010, the same | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
thing happened again. This time it was milk tankers | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
getting stuck on the roads in what proved to be the coldest | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
winter in 30 years. Actually the footage shows that | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
2010 doesn't compare to 1963 for cold or snow, | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
but there's one winter that does For that we have to go way back | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
in the archives before many of you were born and regional | :23:13. | :23:21. | |
TV didn't exist. Mike at the southwest film | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
and television archive has dug I have had a good look in the | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
database and in the paper records. There is very little | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
of 1947, but I think I have Hope Cove looking more | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
like Antarctica than The lifeboat brings in food supplies | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
to marooned villagers. In 1947, January 22, | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
the snow started to fall and fell every day somewhere in the UK | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
for over 70 days. And if you want to know why it | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
doesn't snow like it use to, find out the answer | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
on Inside Out South West Now with the forecast of blizzards | :24:15. | :24:33. | |
on the way... No chance. I don't think we will see any snow but what | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
we saw on the beach at Dawlish this morning, you might be forgiven for | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
thinking there was snow but it is actually frost. Also a beautiful | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
South Devon coast with a view out across to Bow Island. It looks like | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
the fine, clear skies will lead to another sharp frost overnight | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
tonight. Dry and bright for most of this week. Frost and fog but also | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
becoming quite windy later on. You will notice not a great deal of rain | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
in that forecast. First thing tomorrow, it is the freezing fog | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
that could be a problem. Both later on tonight and first thing tomorrow, | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
particularly across parts of Dorset, Somerset and the east of Devon. | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
There is quite a nice line of cloud out to the west which has rain on it | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
but it does not get much closer. We have high pressure in charge. By the | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
middle of Wednesday it is starting to weaken and by Thursday it will | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
get a bit closer. A really cold feeling day on Thursday with | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Southeast winds and low temperatures. That was the satellite | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
picture from earlier today. Not only in land was it fine but also along | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
the coast. This is Watergate Bay where it was a beautiful day. A bit | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
of haze in the air, quite a bit of pollution around today but not so | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
bad tomorrow by something for our selfless and walkers along the | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
coastline, some lovely weather. See temperatures around nine or 10 | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
degrees. Let's follow the forecast through the night to calm because | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
with all this clear sky, the temperatures are falling and we will | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
see some mist and fog developing later in the night. Further west, I | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
would not say it is frost free but temperatures are slightly higher. I | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
don't think anywhere will escape a touch of frost at some point through | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
the night with the lowest temperatures, -5 possible. Much of | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
the day tomorrow is fine and dry. More cloud from time to time. A | :26:50. | :27:01. | |
slightly higher temperature between nine and 11 degrees. For the Isles | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
of Scilly, staying dry with sunny spells. Have a good evening. | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Just before we go, a look ahead to tomorrow's Spotlight. | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
We're investigating why people are commuting further and further. | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
We'd like to hear about your journey to work - | :27:17. | :27:19. | |

If you would like to join me on BBC radio Devon, I am on between one and | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
4pm. But from all of us here, good night. | :27:37. | :27:52. | |
To break someone physically... Agh! ..is not a problem. | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
Nectar of the gods, I'm telling you. Thank you, Colonel. | :27:57. | :28:09. | |
He's definitely battling some demons. | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
