0:01:23 > 0:01:33Welcome to the programme with me Riz Lateef.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Trading standards officers in Southwark seized thousands of
0:01:43 > 0:01:48products after going undercover to expose his under the counter
0:01:48 > 0:01:53business. As Tara Welch reports, it is not the first time he has been
0:01:53 > 0:01:58prosecuted for selling these are legal treatments. When undercover
0:01:58 > 0:02:04researcher tried to buy band skin whitening products from this store
0:02:04 > 0:02:09in Peckham in 2015, this is what happened.
0:02:17 > 0:02:25They offered us the biggest pot they have. But look, former director,
0:02:25 > 0:02:33Benaris Hussein, gets it from under the counter, when we asked for a
0:02:33 > 0:02:36receipt, he ripped the name of the company from the receipt, earlier
0:02:36 > 0:02:39that year and the year before that he had been convicted for a similar
0:02:39 > 0:02:43offence but that would not stop him, when the council raided the shop,
0:02:43 > 0:02:49this is what they found.A semi-hidden storage area, no ceiling
0:02:49 > 0:02:55to it, you have to get in there on your hands and needs, and there was
0:02:55 > 0:02:58lots of steroid -based products. One of those was that which we bought
0:02:58 > 0:03:04before.-- A former shop owner who illegally sold dangerous skin
0:03:04 > 0:03:06lightening products - has been fined thousands of pounds, following an
0:03:06 > 0:03:08investigation by this programme. Banaras Hussain was given a
0:03:08 > 0:03:10suspended sentence today after pleading guilty to ten offences.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Trading Standards Officers in Southwark seized thousands of
0:03:11 > 0:03:13products after going undercover to expose his under-the-counter
0:03:13 > 0:03:15business. From the shop alone, 2500 potentially dangerous products were
0:03:15 > 0:03:17seized by Southwark's trading standards department. The blue cell
0:03:17 > 0:03:21band cosmetics face going to prison for up to two years, today, Benaris
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Hussein escaped that, but was handed a 15 week suspended sentence, and
0:03:24 > 0:03:31ordered to pay costs and fines of almost £26,000. -- Banaris Hussain.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And the footage from our investigation was used as part of
0:03:34 > 0:03:40the prosecution case. We filmed you selling these products in your shop
0:03:40 > 0:03:46two years ago, Mr Hussain, we wonder if you. Now, you have been convicted
0:03:46 > 0:03:52for times.I. Now, happy?What would you say to the people who may have
0:03:52 > 0:03:59been harmed?Who was harmed?Your products can cause liver damage,
0:03:59 > 0:04:07skin problems, organ failure.No comment. -- I will stop now, happy?
0:04:07 > 0:04:13This sends a message to people who want to sell harmful illegal
0:04:13 > 0:04:16products, trading said it will prosecute and bring them to justice.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21This is not just a problem here in Southwark, according to London
0:04:21 > 0:04:25trading standards, in 2016, 15 businesses across the capital were
0:04:25 > 0:04:32fined more than £168,000, for dealing in unsafe cosmetic products.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36And while they are still in demand, we are likely to see more
0:04:36 > 0:04:42convictions from those profiteering from selling them.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Plenty more ahead tonight, including:
0:04:47 > 0:04:49the bogus rubbish collectors who are conning people
0:04:49 > 0:04:51by dumping their waste illegally.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56A controversial £2 billion housing scheme
0:04:56 > 0:04:58planned for north London has been given the green light
0:04:58 > 0:05:01after campaigners failed in their attempts to block it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Some residents argued that a decision by Haringey Council
0:05:03 > 0:05:04to approve the plan was unlawful.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But today at the High Court their challenge was thrown out.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Despite the legal ruling a political row now threatens
0:05:09 > 0:05:17the development's future.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19As Susana Medonca reports.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26timing has been everything in this saga, Haringey council wanted to get
0:05:26 > 0:05:30it steal for a multi-million pound regeneration scheme signed off
0:05:30 > 0:05:35months ago, protest is used a High Court challenge to slow things down,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Labour infighting and the tick-tock of local elections fast approaching
0:05:38 > 0:05:51force council to pause the whole thing. Protest is still see this as
0:05:51 > 0:05:55a victory, even though it has not been declared unlawful.Politically,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59the climate has completely changed as a result of our efforts, but we
0:05:59 > 0:06:03need to have a high-level decision and we need to have a decision to
0:06:03 > 0:06:09stop, not just to halt, to kill it off, to go back and think again.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13This is a ruling the council had expected back in the autumn, though
0:06:13 > 0:06:16the judge has given it the go-ahead but the political situation has
0:06:16 > 0:06:20changed completely. The council leader announced her resignation
0:06:20 > 0:06:24last week amid claims of bullying and sexism in the Labour Party,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28councillors who supported her plans have been deselected in favour of
0:06:28 > 0:06:32people aligned to the left wing group, momentum, which supports
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Jeremy Corbyn. Last night, the Labour group here backed a motion to
0:06:36 > 0:06:40stall any decision on regeneration until after the local elections in
0:06:40 > 0:06:45May.I have no pleasure in proposing this amendment, because I still
0:06:45 > 0:06:49believe, I believe as firmly today and it may not be popular, but I
0:06:49 > 0:06:54believe it, that this is the best solution available to us because
0:06:54 > 0:06:57politics means engaging in the world as it is rather than the world as we
0:06:57 > 0:07:02may want it to be.The reality is that politically, time ran out for
0:07:02 > 0:07:06the council leader to sign of the housing plans, while she was waiting
0:07:06 > 0:07:12to get today's OK from the High Court. This estate in Tottenham is
0:07:12 > 0:07:17one of those areas remark for -- earmarked for regeneration, which is
0:07:17 > 0:07:21a partnership with a private developer. Protesters were concerned
0:07:21 > 0:07:25about the future of social housing and last night one Labour opponent
0:07:25 > 0:07:29of the HTV said that the party was now speaking with one voice.There
0:07:29 > 0:07:33is unity in the Labour group around the reality that the HTV will
0:07:33 > 0:07:38certainly not proceed under this administration and it will be left
0:07:38 > 0:07:45to the next administration. I think the HTV has ended.It is a case of
0:07:45 > 0:07:51waiting for time to pass, until meat back may's local election brings in
0:07:51 > 0:07:59a new set of council is expected to decide what happens next. -- until
0:07:59 > 0:08:02May's local elections.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Our political editor Tim Donovan is in Westminster.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Given the feelings this has evoked on all sides,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08what's your sense of whether this big regeneration plan go ahead?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12So toxic, so much more than a local housing row, the cost of this
0:08:12 > 0:08:16factional political dimension within Labour, which gives it, perhaps,
0:08:16 > 0:08:23much wider resonance and then just this north London borough worried
0:08:23 > 0:08:28about future, 20 years of rebuilding, knocking down what
0:08:28 > 0:08:33happens at the end of this, fears that are shared by people in estates
0:08:33 > 0:08:37across London, with big regeneration projects, but here we have Momentum,
0:08:37 > 0:08:43grassroots group which backs Jeremy Corbyn, demonised by some as hard
0:08:43 > 0:08:46left and aggressive and intimidating but they themselves say they are
0:08:46 > 0:08:50only trying to revive local democratic practice and local
0:08:50 > 0:08:55politics, protecting local interests and this into people. That is what
0:08:55 > 0:09:01the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said today:I am hoping now that
0:09:01 > 0:09:04there is a real listening to the local community and I think that is
0:09:04 > 0:09:07what the Labour Party is doing, because the feeling I was getting
0:09:07 > 0:09:10from when I was up there is that people were not confident that this
0:09:10 > 0:09:15scheme would deliver them the secure homes they need, that is why there
0:09:15 > 0:09:21needs to be a real reconsideration. What is likely to happen now?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Binary choice, say the current administration, do nothing and
0:09:26 > 0:09:32Brookside over gradual decline or dilapidation. -- you do nothing and
0:09:32 > 0:09:39decided. Or you can buy the bullet and go in with a developer who can
0:09:39 > 0:09:41do the job but there is concerned about private sector involvement. --
0:09:41 > 0:09:47preside. The people who have opposed it, it is likely to will form a
0:09:47 > 0:09:53majority in the next Labour administration after May, half to
0:09:53 > 0:09:57answer what they would do instead, if they will reject altogether the
0:09:57 > 0:10:00plans, if they say, we will not go ahead with this, what alternative
0:10:00 > 0:10:05are they going to be providing for the local people up there instead?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Thank you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Turning now, to how paying to dispose of your rubbish
0:10:12 > 0:10:13could land you with a fine.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Londoners are being warned that bogus officials and unscrupulous
0:10:15 > 0:10:17companies are charging residents to remove waste,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19only to dump it illegally.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23The warning comes as councils across the capital crackdown on flytipping.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Greg McKenzie reports from Harrow.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Seen here, the bogus rubbish collector
0:10:37 > 0:10:38who goes by the name of "Charlie."
0:10:38 > 0:10:41He's accused of conning cash out of residents and it appears
0:10:41 > 0:10:42he's not the only one.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45A truck turned up and the lady next door paid £50.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I just had a feeling it didn't look right,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49so I questioned them for their licence and the man
0:10:49 > 0:10:52was sitting on the wall with the elderly gentleman,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56and he said, "I'm an old man, I haven't got it with me."
0:10:56 > 0:11:01It was a hot day.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Anyway they seemed to bundle it off quickly
0:11:03 > 0:11:05once I sort of challenged them.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07On the road with the Harrow fly-tip squad this morning,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09they tell me they're dealing with more than 100 call-outs
0:11:09 > 0:11:13per week and the problems across the borough are plain to see.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14We are seeing it increasing.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17There's a lot of what we call beds in sheds happening around
0:11:17 > 0:11:20the borough, where people are not allowed to use the main wheelie bins
0:11:20 > 0:11:23or anything like that so they just dump in black bags willy-nilly
0:11:23 > 0:11:24anywhere, and that's without the mattresses,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28the fridges, the white goods.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33You can imagine.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37And this is just some of the stuff the fly-tip squad
0:11:37 > 0:11:40are collecting on a daily basis.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45In here, some building materials, some tiles in there.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Then back here you have got a toilet.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52This is a toilet lid.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The rest of the toilet is back here, and this stuff is literally dumped
0:11:55 > 0:11:58on the street in Harrow on a daily basis.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The council say they have a clear and strict policy on fly-tipping
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and will prosecute those who are caught, even if they are
0:12:03 > 0:12:06duped by the conman.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09My warning to residents is ultimately this is the resident's
0:12:09 > 0:12:12responsibility to make sure their waste is
0:12:12 > 0:12:15disposed of properly.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20The best thing to do is check people have a waste transfer certificate
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and they get a waste transfer note to make sure the person that's
0:12:22 > 0:12:25picking up the rubbish is legally able to do that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28And Harrow isn't alone in trying to tackle a surge in fly-tipping.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Only last year Wandsworth Borough saw a
0:12:30 > 0:12:32153% increase, with Ealing seeing a 103% spike
0:12:32 > 0:12:35in fly-tipping incidents.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I'm passionate to make sure we make Harrow clean again, so a small
0:12:38 > 0:12:41number of lazy, irresponsible people, they are disgusting people,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I want to do everything I can to stamp it out, to stop it, to make
0:12:45 > 0:12:46sure it doesn't happen again.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And as for the alleged scammer in Harrow, the council
0:12:49 > 0:12:51say he could still be operating his criminal
0:12:51 > 0:12:53enterprise in the borough, so be warned.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Greg McKenzie, BBC London news.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03A section of railway track where a commuter train derailed
0:13:03 > 0:13:06might not have had a safety check for more than 20 years.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Three hundred people were trapped on the train
0:13:08 > 0:13:11when it came of the tracks near Wimbledon last autumn.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13An investigation has shown that neither Network Rail nor London
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Underground had taken responsibility for its safety.
0:13:17 > 0:13:26Emma Northis at Wimbledon station with the story.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31People may find this hard to believe.Well, we have to go back to
0:13:31 > 0:13:34about the 7th of November last year to find out exactly what happened
0:13:34 > 0:13:39and why this story is so astonishing, the 4:54pm from
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Basingstoke on the way into Waterloo when it got to Wimbledon, slowing
0:13:42 > 0:13:47down to 19 mph, passengers on board experienced enormous bump and a
0:13:47 > 0:13:51grinding along the gravel and people said they saw sparks flying on
0:13:51 > 0:13:55either side of the carriage. The entire rear carriage of the train
0:13:55 > 0:14:00had come off the tracks and was on the stones. About 300 people were
0:14:00 > 0:14:04trapped on the carriage until the Fire Service could rescue them and
0:14:04 > 0:14:09take them to safety, four were slightly hurt. Why had this come
0:14:09 > 0:14:14about? The train was travelling on a little bit of linking track that
0:14:14 > 0:14:18connected two lines, the first line was operated by Network Rail, the
0:14:18 > 0:14:22other one was operated by London Underground. Who was operating this
0:14:22 > 0:14:27little linking bit of track the train was on? It appears, absolutely
0:14:27 > 0:14:32nobody! This report found it could be as far back as 1994 when someone
0:14:32 > 0:14:37had checked to see that this line was safe. Of course, over time, the
0:14:37 > 0:14:41track had worn down, it had become 40, and last November, the entire
0:14:41 > 0:14:46carriage comes off the railway line. And we asked a transport expert how
0:14:46 > 0:14:51many of these little connecting lines are dotted around the London
0:14:51 > 0:14:58transport infrastructure. -- it had become faulty.There has not been a
0:14:58 > 0:15:02crash that led to fidelity is in more than ten years, railways are
0:15:02 > 0:15:06incredibly saved, in comparison to road and also in relation to Europe
0:15:06 > 0:15:11and America, where there are more accidents per thousand passengers
0:15:11 > 0:15:15kilometres or whatever. I don't think passenger should be worried
0:15:15 > 0:15:25about their journey tonight.Three things have been recommended, first,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28staff and managers should know where the boundaries are, between
0:15:28 > 0:15:32operators, secondly, they should be written down, thirdly, when people
0:15:32 > 0:15:35are working on tracks, they should know where they are and they should
0:15:35 > 0:15:40be marked, Network Rail and Tfl has spoken to me today and said that
0:15:40 > 0:15:44they are now working together to try to identify these spots and make
0:15:44 > 0:15:46sure something like this does not happen again.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53"We have a big hill to climb" - the words of the Liberal
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Democrat leader Vince Cable as his party prepares for May's
0:15:55 > 0:15:58local elections in London.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00He says they won't be easy, but that he expects his
0:16:00 > 0:16:01party to gain ground.
0:16:01 > 0:16:11Here's our political correspondent Karl Mercer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13This morning he was looking at plans
0:16:13 > 0:16:14for the future.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Not his own or those of his party,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19but those for a London cancer hub in Sutton.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22In April work will start here on a new drug development
0:16:22 > 0:16:25centre at the Institute for Cancer Research.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28A month later, Vince Cable's party will be fighting local elections
0:16:28 > 0:16:30across the capital.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34It will be tough.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38You are in a room at the moment with two thirds of your MPs in London
0:16:38 > 0:16:43because there are only three of you, and only one council leader. You
0:16:43 > 0:16:50have a big hill to climb.Yes, these will not be easy local elections but
0:16:50 > 0:16:54we are confident in Richmond and Kingston we will make advances and
0:16:54 > 0:17:00possibly take the councils, but certainly make advances.Something
0:17:00 > 0:17:05we haven't talked about post-Brexit...The chief executive
0:17:05 > 0:17:10raised the issue of Brexit, a concern he says for some in the
0:17:10 > 0:17:14scientific community, and one that the Lib Dem leader may play as an
0:17:14 > 0:17:19issue in London more than anywhere else in the country.I think London,
0:17:19 > 0:17:25because London was so anti-Brexit, that mood is still there. Of course
0:17:25 > 0:17:29they are local elections but in recent years local elections have
0:17:29 > 0:17:42become more and more a test of the national governments so that
0:17:43 > 0:17:46will be a factor and in addition European nationals will have a vote
0:17:46 > 0:17:48in local elections and I wouldn't be surprised if they expressed their
0:17:48 > 0:17:50views strongly.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52The Lib Dems will target their traditionally strong areas
0:17:52 > 0:17:54in the south west of the capital.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Their main priority though will be holding on to the one council
0:17:57 > 0:17:58they currently run -
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Sutton.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Hopefully I will have people around me supporting me, but I will say
0:18:01 > 0:18:04that London leaders, whatever their political colours, work closely. We
0:18:04 > 0:18:11are doing a lot of joint work to develop London is an exciting global
0:18:11 > 0:18:14city but after the elections I intend to be here and hopefully I
0:18:14 > 0:18:16will be part of a wider group.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19That of course will be a decision she wont get to make.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24That will be down to the voters in May.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Next, continuing our series this week marking
0:18:25 > 0:18:27the centenary of the first women getting the vote.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Tonight we meet 100-year-old Diana Athill,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32who was editor some of the greatest authors of the 20th century
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and went on to become a successful writer herself.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But she was never paid the same as her male co workers,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and says she regrets just putting up with it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Sarah Harris has been to meet her.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Still making a living by writing at her Highgate
0:18:45 > 0:18:48flat aged 100 years old, Diana Athill says this work ethic
0:18:48 > 0:18:54was instilled in her by her family.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I think they were rather modern in their attitudes to women
0:18:57 > 0:18:59and never in my childhood did it strike me that one was
0:18:59 > 0:19:07limited by being a woman.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10After leaving Oxford University, Diana joined the BBC before setting
0:19:10 > 0:19:14up a publishing company with Andre Deutsch.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Despite being equal partners, their profits weren't split evenly.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21If a woman enjoys her job, she is
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I mean everybody knew that I was one of the leading editors in London.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Presumably everyone knew I was earning a good
0:19:30 > 0:19:32deal less than Andre.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37You only had to see our cars to see that!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40The one regret Diana has is not fighting harder for women's rights.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Even today she believes the push should be stronger.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I've always felt, I suppose, that getting the vote was important
0:19:46 > 0:19:50but I've always felt we haven't used it particularly well.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54There's more we should have done with that.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56She's worked with some of the greatest writers
0:19:56 > 0:19:58of the 20th century, but it's being an author herself
0:19:58 > 0:20:03that has brought Diana the most joy.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04The minute I retired when I was in my late
0:20:04 > 0:20:1070s and into my 80s, I began to have time
0:20:10 > 0:20:13to write, and then I wrote.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And then, that was absolutely wonderful.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I loved that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And so I got happier and happier.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Sarah Harris, BBC London News.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Next, it's definitely one of the more unusual things to go
0:20:27 > 0:20:31on display in London.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33And I should warn you, in case you're eating,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35we are talking about the giant fatberg that was found beneath
0:20:35 > 0:20:37the streets in Whitechapel.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40A small part of it is being exhibited at the Museum of London.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Why, you may ask.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Wendy Hurrell went to find out more
0:20:44 > 0:20:54about the toxic lump.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00September last year, one of the biggest fatbergs in the world was
0:21:00 > 0:21:05found in the Victorian sewers below Whitechapel, 250 metres long. To
0:21:05 > 0:21:10give you a visual reference of the size of that monster, its length was
0:21:10 > 0:21:15the entire span of Tower Bridge plus an extra six metres. The Museum of
0:21:15 > 0:21:22London wanted a piece of it, so here it is the last remaining part of the
0:21:22 > 0:21:28Whitechapel fatberg, safely encased in two thick glass boxes. The oils
0:21:28 > 0:21:32have been air dried so it's almost like a rock now but in its greasy
0:21:32 > 0:21:37grip things like sweet wrappers are sticking out. It has also hatched
0:21:37 > 0:21:42its own flies and nobody knows what will happen to it next. Nobody has
0:21:42 > 0:21:49ever tried to preserve a fatberg before.It is very experimental,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53low-temperature storage, freezing, storage and from all the hide, we
0:21:53 > 0:21:58slowly ruled all of those out.It stops letting off toxic gases now.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04The smell, in case you were wondering...Fresh fatberg smells
0:22:04 > 0:22:10like rotting meat or rotting dirty nappies, but dry fatberg has a bit
0:22:10 > 0:22:22more of a smelly toilet sort of smell. The Whitechapel fatberg,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26London took that word and made it global.So the media came from all
0:22:26 > 0:22:30over the world to see the novelty exhibit but also because their
0:22:30 > 0:22:35cities have a similar problem.These fatbergs have been found all over
0:22:35 > 0:22:40London and the world and it's a good way of putting it on display on
0:22:40 > 0:22:43starting a difficult conversation about what we are doing to our city,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47and do we need to look at our own actions and how we might need to do
0:22:47 > 0:22:52things differently.It will be on display at least until July, a stark
0:22:52 > 0:22:58reminder of our issues with waste in the metropolis.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00She gets the glamorous jobs!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02There's always a buzz around a new Marvel superhero movie.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08But tonight's premiere of Black Panther has even more
0:23:08 > 0:23:10resonance with many Londoners.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Asad Ahmad reports from the red carpet in Hammersmith.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21I'm joined by two stars from the film. Thank you for coming in.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27Daniel, first of all in a few weeks you are up for an Oscar for Best
0:23:27 > 0:23:36actor, you are one of the stars of Black Panther, not a bad year
0:23:36 > 0:23:41really, is it?Yeah, it's all right! I am just thankful. It's been a
0:23:41 > 0:23:45surreal year but it's amazing to be in something like this which I
0:23:45 > 0:23:50believe in. I have been a fan of Martin since the beginning so it is
0:23:50 > 0:23:54a surreal time for me.How does it make you feel that great black
0:23:54 > 0:24:01actors are having to to America in order to make their mark and become
0:24:01 > 0:24:06known before they come back over here?Great white actors are doing
0:24:06 > 0:24:13that too. It depends on your ambition and your aspiration. I feel
0:24:13 > 0:24:17like there's a lot of great black stage actors in Britain and
0:24:17 > 0:24:21sometimes if your aspiration is for a certain kind of mainstream or
0:24:21 > 0:24:26project, you have to go to America and the reasons are different.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Martin Freeman, when you got the script for this, a lot of talk about
0:24:31 > 0:24:37the black hat and black heroes, did that bother you, that this film was
0:24:37 > 0:24:41about so many firsts or did you look at it on the quality of the script?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Always you want to be in a good film because the social political side of
0:24:46 > 0:24:52it and the ramifications of it being a significant movie is important but
0:24:52 > 0:24:56if it's not a good film, who cares. It was good to have those
0:24:56 > 0:25:05conversations with the director, and he felt the same thing.Do you still
0:25:05 > 0:25:14hang out with your old friends in London?I am about, at Tesco Metro,
0:25:14 > 0:25:21you see me! Sometimes I'm in Beverly Hills, sometimes I'm in Southgate.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Martin, Hollywood or here?Camden Morrisons, often. Other supermarkets
0:25:27 > 0:25:36are also available!Sainsbury's!I'm going to let you get back to the
0:25:36 > 0:25:42media scrum. The film is on general release from tomorrow.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Beverly Hills to Southgate, I love it. What about the weather?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Matt Taylor is the man to tell us.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57We had a lovely bright start today with the frost on the ground but as
0:25:57 > 0:26:01this shot from marble arch shows, it finished fairly cloudy and there is
0:26:01 > 0:26:06wet weather to come through tonight. Courtesy of a zone of cloud pushing
0:26:06 > 0:26:10eastwards across the country, clearer skies to come. We will see
0:26:10 > 0:26:15some of that tomorrow afternoon but certainly tonight the cloud is
0:26:15 > 0:26:19thickening up. The breeze is strengthening as well. We may even
0:26:19 > 0:26:24seek gale force gusts through the night. While it is dry at the
0:26:24 > 0:26:29moment, for the first part of the night we will see heavy rain. With
0:26:29 > 0:26:33some clearing skies out towards the west, parts of Buckinghamshire the
0:26:33 > 0:26:38temperatures may drop low enough for a touch of frost. A bit of early
0:26:38 > 0:26:42brightness around through the morning but quickly cloud thickening
0:26:42 > 0:26:45up and from the late rush hour onwards through the morning we will
0:26:45 > 0:26:50see thickening cloud bringing outbreaks of rain, hail and sleet at
0:26:50 > 0:26:55times. That clears to the south and east, but Western areas of the
0:26:55 > 0:26:59capital towards the Home Counties is where we will see the best of the
0:26:59 > 0:27:05sunshine tomorrow, but it will feel colder. With those clear skies
0:27:05 > 0:27:09around, temperatures will plummet, the blue on the map right across the
0:27:09 > 0:27:16board, a frost to start the weekend with parts of Essex and Kent down to
0:27:16 > 0:27:20minus four. A chilly start to Saturday, a lovely start but we will
0:27:20 > 0:27:24see cloud increase from the west through the day. It should stay dry
0:27:24 > 0:27:30until the end of the afternoon. South and east will see sunshine
0:27:30 > 0:27:35here and there, but Saturday night in Sunday expect wet
0:27:35 > 0:27:35here and there, but Saturday night in Sunday expect wet and windy
0:27:35 > 0:27:43weather. No wonder the premiere was inside! Thank you. That is it for
0:27:43 > 0:27:47now, we will be back at 10:30pm so for now, thanks
