:14:15. > :14:19.I know you've been here For me, currently this is probably
:14:20. > :14:24.the worst I have seen the NHS. When it is completely relentless,
:14:25. > :14:32.I think you do drain staff. There's a woman who just moved
:14:33. > :14:36.in to the plaster room to look She's been sitting here
:14:37. > :14:43.all night in a chair. It's absolutely full,

:15:09. > :15:19.along quite nicely. I don't think it's sustainable

:16:33. > :16:36.The government has said the number of child refugees from your group
:16:37. > :16:42.would be reduced and the head of one at London borough says he is

:19:10. > :19:11.revealed what they claim is the first "historically accurate"
:19:12. > :19:14.portrait of Jane Austen's Mr Darcy. And he's probably very different
:19:15. > :19:16.to what you'd expect. They've used fashions from the 17
:19:17. > :19:19.hundreds to put together a picture of what he probably looked like,
:19:20. > :19:22.and as Gareth Furby reports, He has been called
:19:23. > :19:24.the nation's favourite hunk. And this scene first broadcast
:19:25. > :19:27.in 1995 was responsible. But what if Mr Darcy
:19:28. > :19:29.from Jane Austen's novel may have been meant to look
:19:30. > :19:31.a bit like this... Well, academics from the University
:19:32. > :19:34.of London think he might have been and one of them
:19:35. > :19:36.is Professor John What we did was to use historical
:19:37. > :19:43.information as a way of composing a plausible image
:19:44. > :19:51.of Fitzwilliam Darcy and it sure The academics put together a sort
:19:52. > :19:57.of identikit of what a leading man might have looked like given
:19:58. > :19:59.the fashions and expectations of 1813 when the book was published
:20:00. > :20:07.- starting with the head. The hair, hair is
:20:08. > :20:11.terribly important. Perhaps that is a bit
:20:12. > :20:14.of white powder in his hair. We tend to associate large
:20:15. > :20:21.noses with mobility. I speak as a man and I find them
:20:22. > :20:34.rather luscious, yeah! Well, there is only one way
:20:35. > :20:40.to find out, of course. Take this new picture
:20:41. > :20:42.onto the streets of London. And for the new guy,
:20:43. > :20:45.it is not good news. The powdered hair is not
:20:46. > :20:54.such a good look, is it? Would you have liked
:20:55. > :20:56.to have seen him walking Colin Firth didn't do
:20:57. > :21:05.it for me, either! And it might be a first
:21:06. > :21:07.for academics at London University as well -
:21:08. > :21:10.a bit of research that almost The book and film 'Fifty Shades
:21:11. > :21:26.of Grey' was a massive success for the London born author,
:21:27. > :21:28.E L James. And tonight the follow up film -
:21:29. > :21:32.'Fifty Shades Darker' gets it's European Premiere in Leicester
:21:33. > :21:34.Square. Caroline Davies has been there -
:21:35. > :21:45.and a few minutes ago, I am used to doing television so you
:21:46. > :21:53.get to do that with TV, return to a character and develop it and it is
:21:54. > :21:59.rare you get so it is nice and give him more and it exciting. He is an
:22:00. > :22:04.inscrutable character, did you work with the author to develop him more
:22:05. > :22:12.in the second film? A lot of that was done make it a good one, the
:22:13. > :22:16.script opened him up a lot more and we see a softer side of him. That
:22:17. > :22:23.was always the intention and I would have liked to have seen more of that
:22:24. > :22:32.in the first one. He is more relatable and I like him or filming
:22:33. > :22:39.the first and second right after each other? It helps and keeps the
:22:40. > :22:44.momentum and I think if we did the second one and then came back to it
:22:45. > :22:52.it will be harder for me to pull off playing a 28-year-old! I'm starting
:22:53. > :22:58.to look older. It made sense for everybody. 114 million people
:22:59. > :23:06.watched the trailer within 24 hours. What you think that says about the
:23:07. > :23:10.trilogy? I mean, it proves there is still an appetite. You do not want
:23:11. > :23:16.to get too bogged down by comparing the numbers of the first movie which
:23:17. > :23:21.were incredible because it would not need to get anywhere near that to be
:23:22. > :23:24.a successful film. We are trying not to get bogged down without but it is
:23:25. > :23:30.exciting when so many people watch the trailer. Hopefully it turns into
:23:31. > :23:36.people going to see. A loss of crowds here today and they are here
:23:37. > :23:39.for Christian grave. Are you looking for alternative roles that take you
:23:40. > :23:47.away from that character? Yeah, it is easy, there were not many
:23:48. > :23:52.characters like him in film and TV. Everything since has been 1 million
:23:53. > :24:01.miles away from him. The thing I'm shooting now and in the summer are
:24:02. > :24:09.miles away from him. Will not get stereotyped? How many films are
:24:10. > :24:14.there about a billionaire S you do small screen as well. Any other
:24:15. > :24:20.projects in mind at the moment, more small screen? I am doing a movie now
:24:21. > :24:27.and in the summer but I'm trying to develop something with a friend of
:24:28. > :24:32.mine that is television, a one-off television thing. I love television
:24:33. > :24:36.and would love to do more. It is a balance, really. If you like the
:24:37. > :24:39.material and project and character you go for it whatever medium.
:24:40. > :24:52.It is damp, drizzle and I would prefer to be in here this evening,
:24:53. > :24:59.it is perishing. This is a shot of London, what a grey afternoon it has
:25:00. > :25:03.been, grey and cold, drizzle and some sleet. The general weather
:25:04. > :25:08.pattern is with us for the next three or four days. Little changes
:25:09. > :25:17.as we head further ahead. This is another weather watcher picture in
:25:18. > :25:21.Greater London. You can see the extent of this grey cloud around. It
:25:22. > :25:25.is not showing the rain and drizzle because it is fine but it is
:25:26. > :25:29.dampening the ground and it is mostly to the north and east of
:25:30. > :25:34.London but progressively the breeze will blow a fuse bits and pieces
:25:35. > :25:39.further eastwards. Do not be surprised if there is some snow,
:25:40. > :25:45.temperatures are close enough to freezing. A cold start tomorrow, and
:25:46. > :25:48.another cold day, cloudy and the wind will be stronger than today so
:25:49. > :25:56.if possible it will feel colder than today. All of that cloud, if you
:25:57. > :26:03.wintry flurries, mostly wintry but not exclusively on the hills so you
:26:04. > :26:06.could see a sent here and there. Two to four Celsius, stronger wind and
:26:07. > :26:12.feeling cold. Tomorrow night, the greatest risk of a a few centimetres
:26:13. > :26:18.of snow. Something more organised coming off the North Sea by the end
:26:19. > :26:21.of the night to the east of London. Through Saturday morning, it will
:26:22. > :26:25.progressively head westwards so a wintry feel to the start of the
:26:26. > :26:31.weekend or though it may turn back to rain later in the day close to
:26:32. > :26:34.the coast. Over the Chilterns and downs, a light covering. Further
:26:35. > :26:40.west, by the time the weather front gets to Cardiff they could beat the
:26:41. > :26:46.risk of showers but it will feel bitterly cold wherever you are. The
:26:47. > :26:51.cold weather remains with us. Temperatures slightly higher but the
:26:52. > :26:52.wind will be stronger. Time for the thermals!
:26:53. > :26:55.Just before we go tonight, a reminder of the day's main news
:26:56. > :26:58.Official figures show record numbers of patients waited for more
:26:59. > :27:00.than four hours in Accident and Emergency units
:27:01. > :27:06.Fewer than 90 per cent of patients were seen within the target time.
:27:07. > :27:08.The Government says it's capping the number of child
:27:09. > :27:12.Only 350 will be bought here - far fewer than the three thousand
:27:13. > :27:24.The decision has been called "shameful".
:27:25. > :27:26.Commuters on the London Overground are set to face months
:27:27. > :27:29.of further disruption - after engineering works will need
:27:30. > :27:39.Network Rail say the wrong types of poles were installed.
:27:40. > :27:44.Alpa will be back with our late news tonight at 10.30pm on BBC One.
:27:45. > :27:48.If you have, we can do it all again tomorrow.
:27:49. > :28:01.OK, everyone, have you got your bamboo sticks?
:28:02. > :28:03.If you just paint what you want to paint,
:28:04. > :28:09.I've turned around, my painting washes away.
:28:10. > :28:14...and take on The Big Painting Challenge.
:28:15. > :28:17.Remember, you're not painting a pond.
