This is East Midlands Today with Quentin Rayner and me, Kylie | :00:05. | :00:13. | |
Pentelow. Tonight, beating cancer together. A mother and daughter | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
overcome breast and skin cancer. She cried. I cried. Literally | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
passing the tissues from one to the other. Also, a four-year-old boy is | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
recovering after being stabbed. There was blood all over his head. | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
:00:41. | :00:41. | ||
He had stab wounds to his back. It's ridiculous. The water trade - | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
pumping millions of litres to drought-hit areas. Has the council | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
lost the plot? These protesters fear banning a pensioner with a | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
:01:01. | :01:06. | ||
disability from his allotment could Good evening. Welcome to Tuesday's | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
programme. First tonight, a mother and her teenage daughter have both | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
battled cancer together and are now celebrating being given the all- | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
clear. Bridget Whelan had extensive treatment to beat breast cancer | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
while her 17-year-old daughter, Laura, had surgery to remove skin | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
cancer. They say the fight has made them closer. Sarah Teale reports | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
from Derby. It's been a tough year for Bridget and her 17-year-old | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
daughter, Laura. First, 50-year-old Bridget from Derby, received | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
devastating news after finding a lump in her breast. I sort of knew | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
straightaway when you walked in the room what was going to be said. | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
That was it. I was told that's me and they would operate straightaway. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Therapy followed, but then came the news that Laura had skin cancer. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
She had to have surgery to remove the mole and the cells from her | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
thigh. It was the biggest shock. You don't expect it to happen to | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
you. She cried. I cried. Literally passing the tissues from one to the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
other. Gobsmacked. Couldn't believe it. It was hard for both of us at | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
the same time. You are meant to be there for one person, not both of | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
you, split down the middle. What do you do? You need to be there and | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
your family as well. It's even harder for them. It was horrible. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
What is worse, you having to battle cancer or watching your daughter go | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
through it? My daughter. Without a doubt. I think when it's your child | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
it's a totally different story. You do worry more. Laura and her mum | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
now both have reason to celebrate. When we both went for our results | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
on the same day and they said all- clear and I've been for one more | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
checkup and that was all good. The same with mum. She got her results | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
and everything is OK. Now both of them are looking to the future. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
and Laura are going to do the Race for Life this year and looking | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
forward to that, dressing up and having fun and dance through the | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
line at the end. They deserve a bit of fun. All the best to Bridget and | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Laura. In a moment we'll be reporting on plans to pump millions | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
of litres of water to drought-hit areas. And Anna will be along to | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
tell us if more of it will be falling from the heavens. More on | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
the way as we continue to dodge shower, but it is just typical | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
April weather. All the details shortly. A four-year-old boy has | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
been seriously injured in a stabbing. He was found in a street | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, and a man's been arrested. Here's | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball. The aftermath of a | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
shocking Easter Monday Bank Holiday that turned this street into a | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
crime scene and left a four-year- old victim with serious injuries. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
The police believe the boy was stabbed with some kind of weapon. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
He was lying down there. There were blood everywhere. This neighbour | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
called the ambulance. It really upset me. I'm shocked. Blood all | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
over his head. He had stab wounds to his back. It's ridiculous. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
lucky he's alive. Touch wood. If he had been dead all sorts could have | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
gone off. Although he was found outside here, detectives believe he | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
was attacked indoors and they've spent today trying to piece | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
together exactly what happened and why he was so seriously injured. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
The boy's been treated at the queens Medical Centre where his | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
parents are at his bedside. The police say he's talking and his | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
condition's stable. Detectives have spent the day questioning a 51- | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
year-old man, who was arrested at the scene. It's understood that he | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
lives at the house and knows the boys' -- boy's family and the | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
police say they're not treating this as a random attack. Next, an | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
emergency plan to tackle the water shortage hitting part of our region. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Severn Trent wants to sell millions of litres per day to neighbouring | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
Anglian Water. The water would be pumped into the River Trent and | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
sent 80 miles across the region. Mike O'Sullivan has this report. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Dazzling in the spring sun, the waters of the River Trent seem a | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
thing of beauty and may about to become even more highly prized. The | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
river could now be used to help gret water supplies right across | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
our region -- get water supplies right across our region, where a | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
hosepipe ban has been introduced. Severn Trent wants to sell 30 | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
million litres of water a day, enough to fill 375,000 badges, to | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
neighbouring Anglian Water. Sending the water along the River Trent. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
can absolutely reassure customers that our own customers have the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
priority. We make sure we have enough water for their needs first. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
We are at the position now where we'll be able to make a definite | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
season about -- decision whether we can part with the water or not. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
It's likely we can. The water would come from boreholes in the | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Birmingham area. It would go into the river tame and that would flow | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
into the River Trent. 80 miles across the region, ending up in | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. Anglian Water is facing a shortage. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Grantham is one of the areas affected by Anglian Water's | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
hosepipe ban. Mixed views here on whether the company should have to | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
buy the water. They need to find some way around it to put a system | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
in place to last, rather than getting water from someone else for | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
a little while and needing to do it again. We are a privatised company | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
so logically we are in a market so yes, they should be able to sell it. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
You shouldn't have to buy water really. It should be going where | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
it's needed. The costs of this sort of scheme are actually quite small. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
There are pumping costs but they'll not be transferred through to | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
customers. Severn Trent says the influx of water won't harm the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
river. And selling it off should keep customers' water bills down. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
If the Environment Agency agrees, the water could be sold down the | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
river from June. A man's been charged with murder after a 24- | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
year-old man was found injured in Derby city centre yesterday morning. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Ashley Finlay, who lived in Spondon, died in hospital after being | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
attacked in Sadler Gate. A 29-year- old will appear in court tomorrow. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
A 45-year-old man's been released on police bail while detectives | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
continue their inquiries. Police have started an investigation after | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
the body of a Loughborough University student was found under | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
a motorway flyover. The death of 19-year-old Thomas Healy is being | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
treated as unexplained. It's thought he was in a minibus on his | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
way to Birmingham for a night out late on Friday. The minibus stopped | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
on the hard shoulder and he got out between junctions five and six of | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
the M6. Next tonight, it started as the simple tale of Arthur and his | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
allotment, but now it's escalated into a full-scale protest about | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
discrimination. Arthur Martin was devastated when his local council | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
said they wouldn't let him rent an allotment, because, they said, his | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
bad hip was a safety hazard. That decision has sparked a big backlash | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
in the Nottinghamshire town of Eastwood and tonight they're | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
showing their anger at a meeting of the Town Council. Jo Healey is | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
:08:59. | :09:02. | ||
there. Yes, they are not happy here and as they say, the plot thickens. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Now, Arthur can't face returning here. He's too disheartened, but | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
people here say it's something much bigger now. Take a look at the | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
placard. They are saying that they fear Arthur's case could lead to | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
discrimination genction pensioners and people with -- against | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
pensioners and people with physical disabilities. Arthur has worked | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
here for seven years. Since the town council told him his bad hip | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
was too much of a health hazard, he's lost heart and doesn't feel | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
comfortable here any more. The people are preparing for this | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
evening's protest. They fear the council could discriminate against | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
others. I believe on these allotments there is quite a lot of | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
senior citizens and we don't want them treated the same as Arthur's | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
been treated. This is why we've got to let the council know we are not | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
going to let this happen. I think it's terrible. I think it's really | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
terrible. I think they should let them have what they want and give | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
them the respect that they deserve. Let them decide for themselves what | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
they can't do it any more. It's not right that disabled people should | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
be discriminated against and older people either. And Arthur agrees. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
He's backing the campaign that started because of what happened to | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
him. There are people on these allotments in a lot worse condition. | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Where is it going to end? Will they ban the chap here who's had a heart | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
attack? There's a chap up there, one leg. I thought he was going to | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
go. Here's how the council explained the letter to Arthur last | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
week. We are taking it away because we don't wish to see him wheel- | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
chair bound. He will be house bound if he's not careful the way he's | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
carrying on. We decided that it would be in Arthur's best interests | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
to give up the allotment. Arthur's now taken up the offer of using a | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
friend's private allotment. It's unlikely he'll be back here. Now, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
as we said, this is about more than Arthur's case. Everybody here's | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
going to be heading into the meeting in one moment, but first | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Danielle, what would you like to achieve tonight? I would like to go | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
in there and get our voices heard, because there's plenty of people on | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
that allotment with Arthur, with disabilities and we want something | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
doing about it, because we don't want it to happen to anyone else. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Thank you very much. Iris, how strongly do you feel? Very strong. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
I think it's despicable what the council's doing. It's about time | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
they gave them something, not taken away. Dave you have come from | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Matlock tonight. How strongly do you feel? I was shocked when I saw | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the report on television and I came so see if honourable behaviour in | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
public office exists, because they are there for people to enjoy and I | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
can't see why the council are interfering and poking their nose | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
in and coming up with all sorts of reasons to deal with Arthur in this | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
terrible way. There should be a place for quiet relaxation and | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
enjoyment, not bureaucracy and interfering. They don't seem to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
know what they're doing. Dave, everybody here, thank you very much | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
for joining us tonight. They are all heading into the meeting. I | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
don't know what's going to happen, but I do know their voices will be | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
heard. Back to you. Thank you. Strong feelings there in the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
village there. A protestor has been assaulted and tents and barricades | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
owned by the Occupy Nottingham group have been damaged. The | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
campaigners say that since they set up camp in Old Market Square, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
almost six months ago, it's often been vandalised. According to the | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
protestors, they were targeted three times on Saturday night. | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
the weekend it was particularly eventful, let's say. Lots of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
continual attacks on the camp. Ripping down the barricades and the | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
tents. We did have a member of our camp physically attacked. We are | :13:04. | :13:13. | |
very used to it. The police are very aware of it. Work has started | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
today to construct a new bridge over Nottingham railway station. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
When it's finished trams will be able to cross above the mainline | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
rail track. The new bridge will connect the current Line One | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
terminus with the extension out to Clifton. The project will take 21 | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
months to complete. Five towns in Leicestershire are hoping to become | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
part of a Government project backed by the retail expert, Mary Portas. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Places like Lutterworth, Coalville and Market Harborough all want to | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
share �1 million of Government investment. As part of Our Streets | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
series, Victoria Hicks has been to Market Harborough to find out why | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
this prosperous market town is looking for help. It's a | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
distinctive market town in south Leicestershire and it wants to stay | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
that way, so it's bid for a share of Government funding. Lots of | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
independent shops and we ought to get the message out that this is | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
the place to come to. Duncan knows a thing or two about fine wines. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
Now, he wants to share his passion for the town too. It's just going | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
to create the lovely buzz about town and spreading the gossip. It's | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
what I do with wine. I've got this lovely wine, we do a little tasting | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
here and I want you to appreciate it. I want you to close your eyes | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
and imagine where you could be and what we wanted to do is through the | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
social medium is get people to see the stuff on-line and their phones | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
and think this place is a bit of all right. What's different about | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
Market Harborough? Well, it looks different for a start. If you | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
dropped an alien into any high street they wouldn't know where | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
they are. The brands are all the same, but we're different and we | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
want to keep it that day. We come regularly. It's nice and it's a | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
friendly atmosphere. It's got so much going for it, but not so many | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
people know. This bid could change all that, with extra money and help | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
from the Mary Portas. Now the town has to see if it cuts through the | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
competition to put this place on the map. We like it. We do. I used | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
to Christmas shop there with my brother. Very nice. They must miss | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
you. You're watching East Midlands Today and sport's on its way with | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
four wins for all four of our football sides. Find out a Derby | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
student has managed to get two well-known actors to star in his | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
first movie. We're on the last lap. The Championship football season | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
will be over in three weeks' time - unless your team makes the play | :15:58. | :16:07. | |
:16:08. | :16:11. | ||
offs. The star billing goes to Leicester. Two wins out of two over | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Easter. Can this up and down season end yet in promotion to the Premier | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
:16:24. | :16:24. | ||
League? Paul Bradshaw reports. It looked like another episode of this | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
see-saw season. Leicester rarely win back-to-back, but they seized | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
their opportunity at the right time. Ben Marshal is the top one at the | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
moment and that free kick is another on his list of great | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
strikes. Leicester began the second half looking like a team sensing a | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
win. They got it thanks to this finish. They are all very important | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
games, but we're hanging in there, giving ourselves an awful lot to do, | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
but six points over the last three days doesn't do us any harm. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
have got to believe. It's been such an odd season. Obviously got some | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
big games left. I think Millwall is massive. Got to try to win that, | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
but if we hit form now I think if we get into the play-offs we'll be | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
the form team. You have the three other teams to lose. Cardiff and | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
Brighton, but if they all lose then we got a chance if we beat Millwall. | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
With four games left the Foxes find themselves three points off the | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
places. If Derby had won their home game with Ipswich on Saturday | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
they'd have been level on points with Leicester. So despite an | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
excellent 2-0 win at Leeds yesterday, Derby appear to have too | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
much to do to make a play-off berth. Leeds and Derby are old rivals, but | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
Derby were already in command when Michael Brown was sent out for a | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
high foot, which left Theo Robinson in some pain. The opening goal was | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
a lovely strike and they were on their way to a great seventh | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
successive win against Leeds. They might have had a penalty too. Derby | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
were convinced they deserved one. But when the referee and the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
assistant met to talk about it, they gave a free kick to Leeds. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Derby wrapped it up in the second half. Steve Davis found the net. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
Great win, but games are running out and their charge up the table | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
is probably too late. Derby five points off the play-offs, but | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
they've had their best season for five years. Now, Nottingham Forest | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
fans had a nervy weekend after being beaten at home by Bristol | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
City on Saturday night. But they swept aside Peterborough yesterday. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Their relegation fears could be over by the weekend. BBC Radio | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
Nottingham's Forest correspondent, Colin Fray, give us this analysis. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Saturday's home defeat by Bristol City was not a great start to | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Easter. The Reds played well, but the defeat just underlined the fact | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
that Forest have the worst home record in the championship. Their | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
recent revival has been built on away results and performances, but | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
there was a fair amount of pressure yesterday. It didn't show. It was a | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
fluent away performance. There were chances in the first half. Forest | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
dominated. The winning goal was set up here and finished by Blackstock | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
to make it three wins in a row. With this red card, it was a blow. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
I thought it was a very harsh decision and so did Steve Cotterill | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
who expects to win an appeal. Forest are in a better position | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
than they were before Easter and seven points clear with only four | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
games to go and although they can be caught, it's a result that | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
secure's their place in the championship for next season. Now, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
could we have another East Midlands' team in the Championship | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
next season. Notts County are flying. Three wins in a row have | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
:20:05. | :20:10. | ||
put them in the final play-off spot. The charge is on. Two wins over | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Easter, three in a row, four games left and luck is on their side. | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Even the players seem to think this was offside. With a casual flick | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
before the goal and then the surprise that the referee didn't | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
blow the whistle. It had them dancing out of their seats. The end | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
of the game had them on the edge, especially when a clearance gave | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Yeovil their equaliser, but there were to be more turns. A suspect | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
nudge and push went unpunished and Lloyd Sams scored a second. The | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
hattrick came in a 90th minute. A fascinating run-in to anticipate. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Nottinghamshire and England cricketer, Stuart Broad, has been | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
ruled out of playing in the Indian Premier League. He'll be out for at | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
least three weeks as he recovers from a calf injury. He's likely to | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
play for Notts early next month and hopes to be fully fit ready to play | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
for England in the summer. If you missed it over the weekend, there | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
were great scenes at the National Ice Centre as the Nottingham | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Panthers completed a double double. This goal, seven minutes from time, | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
broke the deadlock in the play-off final against Cardiff. And the Ice | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Centre went crazy. Panthers went on to win 2-0 and Government minister, | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Ken Clarke, was there not to hand out justice, but to present the | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
play-off trophy, which will sit alongside the Challenge Cup in the | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
Panthers' cabinet for the second year running. The British | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
Superbikes season started this weekend and Derby's John Kirkham | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
got his first-ever win. It was a dramatic day at Brands Hatch in | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Kent as Kirkham made a move on the final bend to take the win for his | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
new Honda team, but he was denied a chance to score a second win. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Racing had to be abandoned, because, as you can see, the weather | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
conditions were poor and got worse. Nottinghamshire swimming brothers | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
Sam and Ollie Hynd should both make the paralympics in London. 17-year- | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
old Ollie was named in the team today and his brother Sam, who won | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
gold in Beijing, is selected subject to confirmation by the | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
:22:13. | :22:16. | ||
International Paralympic Committee. Charlotte hen Shaw made the team | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
also. Thank you very much. Now, film directors at the top of their | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
game can demand the highest fees and attract the best actors, but | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
when you're just starting off, getting big names in your movie | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
isn't that easy. But, there's a new director in Derby who's managed to | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
strike gold. Danny Gold is in fact a film student, but he's convinced | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
two television actors to star in his first movie and it's all being | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
shot in the city. Geeta Pendse went along for the filming. This looks | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
like any professional film set, but this one is being directed by a 21- | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
year-old, as part of his final year project. He sent off the script to | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Jeff Stewart and Matt Healey, who played Matthew King in emDale, but | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
never expected them to say yes. Jeff, literally, he read the script | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
and called me the next day. I didn't know who it was, because it | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
was a private number. He said, "Hi, this is Jeff. I would love to be | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
part of the movie." I was playing it cool. After he hung up I was oh, | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
my goodness. You never get anywhere in this life without a bit of cheek. | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
All you have to do is ask. I was free this week so why not? | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
short film tells the story of the dilemma faced when two gangsters | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
fall out over a girl and the crew have shot it in several locations | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
across the city, including the silk mill and the cathedral quarter. All | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
on a budget of just �3,000. The crew are made up entirely of | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
students and being a small-scale budget also brings with it a number | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
of challenges. Danny only has a certain amount of film to shoot on, | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
which means every single take really counts. Both actors say | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
they've been blown away by the young director. We would say nice | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
things whatever what was happening. In this case we relish telling you | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
he's a visiony. He's worth keeping an eye out for. It's like he's | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
blossoming now. When they go home and the set is emptied and it is | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
cleared then it will hit me. situation will be premiered in June. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
If this is just his first film, who knows where the next could take | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
:24:44. | :24:46. | ||
him? Great shot. Get it. Yes. Brilliant. Hiem here all week. Now, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
-- I'm here all week. Now, April -- I'm here all week. Now, April | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
showers? More rain? Yes, spot on. That's what we're getting for much | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
of this week. We started yesterday, Easter Monday, on an unsettled note. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Significant rainfall. Over the next few days, we are looking at | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
sunshine and those lovely April showers. Dry overnight. David's | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
photograph was taken earlier today. Thank you for this. This sky is how | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
it's pretty much going to be for much of the week. It's low pressure | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
and it's dominating us. Fairly windy conditions for the day. The | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
isobars will become further apart through the night and tomorrow. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
They will be easing gradually. Overnight, this evening, we have a | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
few showers still around for a time. Gradually they will die out to give | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
us a dry night and then generally clear skies across much of the East | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
Midlands. It will allow temperatures to fall quickly. We | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
are expecting lows of around about freezing in rural spots, but one or | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
two in towns and cities. A chilly start to Wednesday and then quite | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
quickly you will start to see those showers developing through the | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
morning. Then they will become quite widespread tomorrow. You will | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
need your brolly, because more in the way of showers. Quite heavy. | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
You might notice hail and even hear some thunder. The highs of 11. The | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
wind just that little lighter tomorrow. The showers won't move on | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
as quickly as they have done today. Looking further ahead, another day | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
of sunshine and showers. Guess what, by Friday, yes, it's sunshine and | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
showers and generally light winds on Friday. One thing you will | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
notice temperatures are starting to come down. Wednesday and Thursday | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
ten degrees, just below the norm. Down on Friday, but by the weekend | :26:43. | :26:47. |
