Kylie Pentelow and Dominic Heale. Our top story tonight: Jail for a | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
paedophile who attacked a ten-year- old boy. Shaun Tudor had been | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
allowed out of a secure unit near the boy's home. Tonight, an MP | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
demands action. The practices that go on within it as something that | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
need to be as tight as a drum to make sure that these mistakes | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
cannot happen again. In other news: 111 - the number | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
that could ease the pressure on A&E. Also tonight, they are honouring | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
some very special athletes here in Leicester, they call them the Fab | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Four and the magnificent seven, you can find out why a bit later on in | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
the sport. Plus find out why these reindeer | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:04. | ||
are the must-have party guests this Good evening and welcome to | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Tuesday's programme. Our main story tonight, health bosses have | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
defended their decision to allow a known paedophile to go out alone | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
into the community even though he tried to rape a young boy. Shaun | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Tudor sexually assaulted the ten- year-old in woodland while being | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
treated at a mental healthcare unit in Rainworth in Nottinghamshire. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Today a judge jailed Tudor indefinitely. He said he was a | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
danger to the public and would probably spend the rest of his life | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
:01:45. | :01:49. | ||
The he was a known sex offender who it spent 24 years in secure | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
hospitals after assaulting young boys in the 1980s. When Sean to do | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
was allowed out unsupervised, he attacked another child -- when | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Shaun Tudor was allowed out. He had become a patient here at St | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Andrew's. The charity run centre had only opened at the end of last | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
year, providing services for men with learning disabilities and | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
autistic disorders in Secure Units. But Tudor, has Asperger's syndrome, | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
had been allowed out eight times and the last time he the third in | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
10-year-old boy to these woods. -- he persuaded a 10-year-old boy. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
circumstances surrounding this crime understandably caused his | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
victim and their family and the local community to share a sense of | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
outrage and deep concern. We share those concerns and we are working | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
on a daily basis with the management at St Andrew's to ensure | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
that there will be no repetition of such a terrible incident. Much of | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
Rainworth is in Mark Spencer's constituency. He asked how this | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
could have happened. Internal inquiries were carried out by a St | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Andrew's and they said they had found the decision was appropriate | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
at the time but it is now looking at what can be done differently. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
There was emotion in court as tears were shed among the boy's family. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
In a statement, they said they were devastated by what had happened and | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
had been forced to leave the area. They feel let down by a system that | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
would ever have let such a man walk and checked in their community. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
As we mentioned there, Mark Spencer is one of the local MPs covering | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Rainworth and has taken a close interest in this case, and he's | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
recently visited the St Andrew's healthcare unit. I asked him what | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
he'd been told about why Shaun Tudor was allowed out. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
I think there's an acknowledgement that that was clearly a mistake and | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
should not have happened and that is where we are but you cannot turn | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the clock back now, we must make sure it never happens again. What | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
were your impressions of the unit when he went there? I have to say, | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
it did seem quite professional -- when you went there. They had | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
genuine concerns about the mistakes that were made. Ice feel a little | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
bit more reassured, -- I feel. We need to do more work around the | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
community about the levels of risk and trust. Is it just a case of | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
better communication to put people's mind at ease? I think the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
unit have looked at what happened and they have assured me that those | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
mistakes have been tidied up and that it won't happen again. But it | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
is one thing to say it, we now have to be reassured that it will | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
definitely be the case. You think this could happen again than? | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
truth is I don't really know. We just need to keep the pressure on | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
them and make sure they can keep us a short that it will not happen | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
again. -- keep us reassured that it will not happen again. I do not | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
know how these things are operated on a day to day basis and may have | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
got high rates of data protection and confidentiality and things like | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
that. I am still fairly concerned but I think things have improved a | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
:05:33. | :05:36. | ||
little bit. His St Andrew's just in the wrong place? -- es que St -- es | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
St Andrew's in the wrong place? need to make sure these mistakes | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
cannot happen again. I am sure you will agree that this must have | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
caused huge concern to your constituents. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Indeed and my heart goes out to the victim and the family that have | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
gone through this. It is terrifying to farmers around base that things | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
like this can happen. -- to families around this. We must | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
ensure that things must improve and that it cannot happen again. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Still to come on the programme, 82 reasons to support Children In Need. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
It's the number of projects in the East Midlands which have benefited | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
from your generosity in raising funds last year. We'll tell you | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:29. | ||
more about this one, later in the The Independent Police Complaints | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Commission is to investigate a car crash in which a 26-year-old man | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
died. It happened at around 11pm last night in Calverton near | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
Nottingham. The man had been driving a stolen car and was being | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
followed by police. He suffered serious injuries and died later in | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
hospital. More than 100 knives have been | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
handed into police during the first two weeks of an amnesty. The knives | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
and several swords were surrendered at police stations in Derby and | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
will now be destroyed. Officers hope it has stopped them falling | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
into the wrong hands. Police in Leicester have issued a | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
warning after a man claiming to be from the council tried to con five | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
pensioners into giving him money. The Thurnby Lodge residents, some | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of whom were in their nineties, were all approached by a man who | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
told them their boilers needed fixing. He's described as being | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
white with short brown hair and with a number of teeth missing. The | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
council says its workers will always ring people first to arrange | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
a visit. Next tonight, we hear a lot about | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
pay cuts and pay freezes these days. But for one group of workers, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
there's news tonight of a pre- Christmas pay rise. Leicester's De | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Montfort University has announced it's to pay some of its staff a so- | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
called "living wage". From Leicester, here's our political | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :07:58. | ||
David Miliband congratulates demand for's Vice Chancellor, the former | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
Foreign Secretary was talking to staff about a living wage. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
ideas are that without recourse to a living wage, you are able to buy | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
a everything to support your family. This person is one of several staff | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
to benefit from the University's commitment to the living wage | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
campaign. To be told I am getting the basic pay rise straight away | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
his great just before Christmas. �7.20 per hour, this wage is higher | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
than the statutory minimum wage and takes into account other living | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
costs. Prices are increasing every day. With the cost of rent and | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
petrol, it is not good enough really. David Miliband says other | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
employers should follow the University's lead. The have got | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
Joshi's to make about the distribution of rewards. How much | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
goes to there is blessed -- they have got choices to make. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Government is not keen and one business organisation, | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Leicestershire's Chamber of Commerce, said it is up to | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
individual employers whether it wants to top up the national | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
minimum wage to A-level David Miliband would regard as a living | :09:16. | :09:26. | |

A catchy little number for you now, one that's supposed to be easy to | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
remember. It's 111, and 1.5 million people in the East Midlands can now | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
use it. It's the number of a free NHS helpline designed to provide | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the right care for patients from the moment they make the call. It's | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
not available to everyone yet, but by 2013 it will be. Our health | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
correspondent Rob Sissons reports. Call 111 when it is less urgent | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
than 999. From minor injuries unit to walk-in centres and GPs and A&E. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Never have there been so many ways to access health care services. But | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
not everybody is ending up at the right place the first time. 111 is | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
vital to help people get navigated through the system. We don't want | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
people unnecessarily being dispatched for ambulances. Nurses | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
are on call it through the 111 service to get them in the right | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
place. It is being rolled out right across the East Midlands. | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
Callers will be able to use the 111 service to navigate round the | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
system by next year in Derby and Derbyshire. Nottinghamshire will be | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
last aboard in 2013. John in Derbyshire knows his | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
numbers including 111. His family, one of the first to use it, after | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
he fainted. Much better than the old way of ringing up and somebody | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
ringing you back and it would be in an indeterminate time before a | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
doctor Rinsey. It is the idea to ease pressure off A&E. It can help | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
a St the more poorly people who we can help properly. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
These adverts recreate the strange stories that have happened, from | :11:11. | :11:16. | |

To the women in casualty worried about their image. What are you in | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
for? I could not go on the board with these! | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Certainly where you have severe chest pains and other severe | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
medical complaints, most people understand that you ring 999. | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
world of passwords, PIN numbers and personal data, it is another number | :11:47. | :11:55. | |

Bryony Baylen flies out to start the 700-mile trek in temperatures | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
of 40 degrees below freezing. Along with months of training, she's also | :12:10. | :12:13. | |

She skiing across ice and snow with five others and has a strict | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
schedule. If you're not constantly on your guard about things like | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
your clothing and make sure you stay hydrated, it is easy to make | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
mistakes. This is a very difficult expedition. Somebody who's record | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
Bryony's trying to break knows it is such a challenge. If you have | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
got blitzes planning, you have got wiped out conditions, you can get | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
easily lost so you have to be careful with navigation -- | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
blizzards blowing. You got to make sure you're going in the right | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
direction all the Times. She will be away for two months and the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
family had their Christmas mail on Sunday. A lot of technical items | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
were on her wish list. Possibly because I am the youngest on the | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
trip, I have got lots of electricals. I have got satellite | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
phones, the G Ps unit, a camcorder, a compact camera, a kindle because | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
I like reading. Nobody else is prepared for this more than her and | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
the team she is going with. We are confident she will get there and I | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
will be counting the days until she is back. She is one of only too -- | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
two women in the group. We have all got the common goal and I am told | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
that I will gain an extra four dads and it looks like they are looking | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
out for me! They hope to reach the South Pole on January 17th. If they | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
do, Bryony will be the youngest We will let you know how she gets | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
People with disabilities in Derby may have to pay for their blue | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
parking badges. The city council is considering charging �10 to issue a | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
permit. Earlier this year, the Government introduced reforms to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
the blue badge scheme. That included a new design to prevent | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
fraud. The council is deciding if they should charge money to cover | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
their costs. The number of people applying | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
online for secondary school places in Leicester has risen to 96%. Last | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
year just over half of applications were made on the internet. The | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
county council says not having to post as many letters this year has | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
saved them �2,500. Parents will also be able to find out online if | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:05. | ||
their application has been Best of luck with that. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Children In Need is just three days away and currently it's supporting | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
82 projects right here in the East Midlands. One of them is at the | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Lenton Centre in Nottingham where the money is used to find after- | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
school and holiday activities for children living in an inner city | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
area. The aim is keep the children safe, off the streets and also to | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
inspire them to achieve more in their lives. Karen Winchester went | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
along to a half-term playscheme and was shown around by two of the | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
:15:37. | :15:42. | ||
Welcome to the Lenton Centre in Nottingham. And this week we are at | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
this place again. I and nine years old and I come here every day when | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :16:05. | ||
it is on. Hello, I am 12 and this This is my school here and This Is | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
My playground where I can play a lot of basketball and other sports | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
A lot of young people in this area are in single parent families or | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
broken up families and we try to keep a nice balance of male and | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
female staff so they can see role- models and try to raise aspirations | :16:28. | :16:38. | |
:16:38. | :16:38. | ||
for young people, to look beyond the confines of the area. There's | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
loads of different things to do and it changes so it never gets boring. | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
If they were not here, they would be out on the street and nowadays | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
it is that little bit more dangerous. There is a local drug | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
gang and they are trying to recruit young people so we try to keep them | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
away from that. It gives young people somewhere in formal and | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
different from school where they can relax. We like to have a lot of | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
volunteers and a good relationship with all the adults. It is | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
important because people can learn stuff here and you can make lots of | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
stuff and people can do things they have never done before. I am making | :17:24. | :17:34. | |
:17:34. | :17:35. | ||
On a scale of 1 to 10, I think Children In Need coming here... It | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
:17:45. | :17:45. | ||
has to be 10! The power of Pudsey And now our reporter for the sport | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
is in Leicester. I am here for a special reason, not | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
a new Leicester City manager, that the saga will drive on a bit longer | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
by the looks of it. We are here because the city is honouring its | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
special Olympians. They take part in the Special Olympics. Leicester | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
has got a link, it posted it a couple of years ago and now it | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
athletes have come back with a host of medals from the Special Olympics | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
in Athens and the global games, they happened in Italy. Let's talk | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
to some of the key players. The host, it is being held at De | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
Montfort University, the deputy vice chancellor is David Wilson. | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
Why are you honouring these athletes here? The Special Olympics | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
have been a pivotal event in the light of the city in recent years | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
and it is a pleasure to be part of a process here at school might to | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
celebrate success. Success in terms of the huge tremendous profile that | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
the athletes have given the City and their tremendous achievements. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
These are people who have got themselves out and flourished and | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
it is great to be part of a celebration. Absolutely, let's talk | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
to one of those athletes, Christina Lewis is here. Show us your medals. | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
What are they for? Swimming. How do you feel when you are Liverpool? | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
Good. What does it do for you? -- when you are in the swimming pool? | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
You got two bronzes and a silver? Rebecca Adlington watch out! Yeah! | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
What a sharp is one of the coaches and coaches basketball. What do the | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
young people get out of this? get self-esteem, and coaching in a | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
sport. Who would believe that some of them can achieve the result they | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
are achieving? They gain the skill that they are achieving also. Like | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
every sport. Very well done to you for coaching these people through | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
it. You are welcome. Back here in just a second, we have got another | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
young when to speak about. A couple of other bits of sports news as | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
well. Derby County have signed Mansfield | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
defender Tom Naylor on loan until the end of the year. The 20-year- | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
old could move permanently if things work out, he had a trial | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
with the Rams back in September. And also here in Leicester, Tigers | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
head coach Richard Cockerill has said that he's not talked to Wales | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
defence coach Shaun Edwards about a role at the club. Edwards is keen | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
to work part-time at a Premiership side and newspaper reports suggest | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
Leicester are favourites. speculation is that Sean can do | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
this and Leicester have got the worst defence, we would bring | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
anybody in to defend it either on the medical side or the rugby side. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
We are looking at our stuff all the time, our defence has not been the | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
best. The year before it was the best in the competition. | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Back here at De Montford, a very swift word with another of the | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
:20:56. | :20:57. | ||
guests of honour. Patrick Cox, tell us a bit about what you do. I won | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
these two medals. How good was it to be part of that? It was my first | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
international tournament so form a... And it was my birthday when we | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
were away so it was two quality to win a medal. You are thinking about | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
being a Paralympian. We are about to introduce another of the an | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
amazing people in the running for the Unsung Hero of 2011. Down to | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
the final three, and Patrick, tonight's finalist was very | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
important to you. Tonight's finalist comes from right here in | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:43. | ||
Mike Smith is the kind of man that usually does not get any glory in | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
sport. Without his admin work, clubs like this just would not be | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
the same. He has worked hard and prose us and our sport to the full. | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
He gives all this time solely to develop his sport of table tennis, | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
to anybody who will enjoy it. has developed the junior table | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
tennis league in Leicestershire and spends hours upon hours organising | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
and managing it. It doesn't matter whether it is e-mails at night, | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
meeting's first thing in the morning, events at the weekend, he | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
has always been there and he is always dedicated. An absolute | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
inspiration in the junior league which started six years ago with | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
five teams and now it is 28 teams and that is all down to Mike. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Because of his dedicated work with schools and clubs, more youngsters | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
have had the opportunity to take up the sport and go on to compete. | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
great thing is just seeing the players play, whatever standard | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
they are. I cannot imagine how people could not get pleasure from | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
the sport and it is great to give people those opportunities on a | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
sport for all places. He is also heavily involved with disability | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
table-tennis, right up to international level. One of his big | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
success stories is Patrick Cox who this year won a gold at the Special | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
Olympics. The reason I started table tennis itself is him so I | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:24. | ||
would not have been where I am And from Kirsty's report to here in | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Leicester, Patrick Cox in the front row. Another of one of our | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
potential unsung heroes. The winner is announced on our sports awards | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
on Thursday. They have all been enjoying themselves here, haven't | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:55. | ||
Looks like a great gathering. Well done to everybody there. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
It seems no fashionable gathering is complete without them. They are | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the ultimate party animal and when they're not out and about, the | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
reindeer are relaxing at a farm in Leicestershire. And they've become | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
so popular for festive get- togethers, one internet search | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
engine says that they're getting more hits than Father Christmas. We | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
sent Carol Hinds to meet them. I are hot to trot, whether at a | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
party or a wedding or switching on Christmas lights. This reindeer | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
herd is making a name for itself as the perfect party animal. Whether | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
they are adult or children, they look at them and want to know all | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
about them, their age and personality, and they want to see | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
how they fly, that comes into it as More people tonight than ever | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
before, must have been the reindeer! They have met the | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
football team from Manchester City, and David Cameron. The celebrities | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
are more fazed by then. You would normally find these animals either | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
on grassy plains or the forests of northern Europe but since moving to | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
Leicestershire, they have adapted to the party life. After they have | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
eaten a little, they will lie down and rest at a party. That works | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
well because the public like that, you can see how contented there are | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
four stop unlike the celebrities, they do not take hours to get ready | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
They only need some red livery and they are ready for a quick | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
changeover. They are just Christmas. The herd has a packed diary over | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
the next few weeks, its last appearance will be on Christmas Eve | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
and after that, they will let a certain red-nosed reindeer lead the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
central part of the festive fun. They are so cute! And now for a | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
:26:00. | :26:03. | ||
look at the weather. Will there be Terrible! We have had lovely, sunny | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
skies across the East Midlands across most of the day after a bit | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
of a cloudy start but we will keep hold of the clear skies and under | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
which we will see the temperatures dropping, quite chilly but the | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
cloud comes in later on. We have had some great pictures of the | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
mushrooms and toadstools including these fungus in Mansfield. Send us | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
an e-mail with those if you would like to send yours in. With the | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
pressure chart, we can see a series of fronts working in from the | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
Atlantic and the high pressure is still blocking them. We should see | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
some dry and Sonny weather to come. The temperatures will drop quite | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
chilly for a time and then the cloud works its way in and it will | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
:27:08. | :27:08. | ||
trap in the cold air. A bit of Mr developing in the morning but that | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
should Clear And the cloud should break -- a bit of mist developing. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Sunny spells from the east as we go through the day and temperatures | :27:17. | :27:25. | |
not doing too badly, 11 degrees is your maximum. Thursday is a similar | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
picture with a cloudy start followed by a sunny breaks | :27:29. | :27:32. |
