Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
The firefighter shot dead on holiday as he fought back against | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
The region's Catholic community comes together to mourn the death | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
of their bishop. Prince Charles at Wattisham with | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Afghanistan medals for a helicopter regiment. | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
:00:35. | :00:35. | ||
And news just in - the early days of regional TV. Every so often, | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:49. | ||
First tonight, the fireman killed as he fought back against armed | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
robbers at his luxury hotel in South America. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Thomas Ossel from the village of Cople near Bedford was on holiday | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
with his brother on Margarita Island, off the coast of Venezuela. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
When men burst into the hotel, he put up a fight and was shot dead. | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:15. | ||
His younger brother was injured. Jo Black is in Copel now. | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
It was the dream holiday that went horribly wrong. When faced with | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
being robbed, some of us might like to think that we would stand up for | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
ourselves. That is exactly what Thomas Ossel did, but he paid with | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
his life. Thomas Ossel loved to travel. A | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Bedfordshire boy with a real spirit of adventure who liked to widen his | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
horizons. The 28-year-old fire fighter had been on a five-week | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
trip to South America with a friend and his younger brother. On the day | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
they were meant to leave Margarita Island, they were rocked by an | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
armed gang in their hotel room. They tried to resist and Jack was | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
stabbed in the back, but Thomas was shot and died minutes later. When | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
the various subjects arrived, we had preliminaries that three people | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
entered the hotel. About have moment, this cities and resisted | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
and in response, he was shot in his right armpit and that caused his | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
death. In the family's home, there was real sorrow at the news. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Thomas's father has travelled to the Venezuelan capital to join | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
James, his surviving son. A family friend said they are all devastated. | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
He was a bold, he was a real adventurer, he loved adventures and | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
travelling. He was always travelling. I think he travelled to | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
an amazing amount of countries. Very seasoned and experienced | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
travel, somebody who laughed and adventure. Today, Thomas's | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
colleagues said they could not believe this has happened. He was a | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
character and he will be sorely missed. He has left a void on this | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
watch. It will never be filled by anyone. According to the Foreign | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
Office, street crime -- street crime is rife in South America. It | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
seems Thomas Ossel has paid the ultimate price. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
We have spoken to the manager of the hotel where the attack took | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
place. The police told him that the gang are at large, but they are | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
currently the most wanted men on the island. Cars are being stopped | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
and searched, but police have told him that they expect to have this | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
matter sorted within a few days. Sarah Grainger is the BBC's | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
correspondent in Venezuela. She's in Caracas now. We can join her | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
life. Sarah, we heard that this kind of crime is common. His crime | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
a real problem in menswear it is. - in Venezuela. The government is | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
reluctant to release statistics on crime so the journalists count the | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
number of bodies that go into the morgues. On a weekend, it is not | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
unusual to see up to 40 people killed, most of them victims of | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
street crime. Most of the criminals approach people for mobile phones | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
or jury and they are armed with guns and knives. When it comes to | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
tourists going to places like Margarita Island, which look | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
idyllic, what would advise the for travellers as far as if this | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
happens to them? Margarita Island is a Caribbean island and lots of | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Venezuelans want to go there on holiday, but it does not reflect | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
the general social problems that are rife in Venezuela as a whole. | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
Street crime is rife so if you're approached, if criminals ask you | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
for your bowling -- belongings, you should become blind and give them | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
whatever they want. That way you will avoid a tragic situation. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Sarah, thank you very much. The new Chief Executive of Suffolk County | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Council is likely to be paid a salary of �157,000. That's �60,000 | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
less than Andrea Hill received for doing the same job. Ms Hill was | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
forced to resign earlier this month following a long running | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
controversy during which she refused to take a pay cut. Our | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is here. That's a big drop | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
in salary? It is. Suffolk County Council knew that after the | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
controversy over Andrea Hill, whoever is a new teeth and say -- | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
cheap executive, what salary they receive will be closely scrutinised. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
This is only a proposal at the moment because he wants to consult | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
with the opposition parties, which is different to last time. They | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
believe it is a fair salary. Times have changed from having high | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
salaries. We are seeing a across the country that there is a more | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
realistic approach to his salary levels. If you think that the | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
previous chief executive was paid �218,000, this represents a 25 % | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
reduction in salary which we feel sends out the right signal. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
local government secretary, Eric Pickles, wants to see chief | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
executives earning around the same as the prime minister and this is | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
not even close. And how does �157,000 compare to the salaries of | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
other chief executives in the region? It will be the lowest | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
salary paid to a county council chief executive in the east. The | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
other three big earners are in Essex, a basic salary of | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
�230,000,... It is worth pointing out that John that runs at | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
Brentwood council and has taken by % pay cut. David White has taken on | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
extra responsibilities so there is no pressure on them, but when they | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
move on, when their contracts are weak negotiator, expect those | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
figures to come down. Church leaders from around the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
world attended the funeral of the Bishop of East Anglia Michael Evans | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
in Norwich this afternoon. Bishop Michael died last week at the age | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
of 59 after a long battle with They came from across East Anglia | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
from across the UK and the world to say goodbye. More than 1,000 people, | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
young and old, packed into the cathedral of St John the Baptist. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
The Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nicholls lead the funeral | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
mass. Cardinal Cormack Murphy O'Conner was there. So too the | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Bishop of Norwich Graham James. On Bishop Michael's coffin - lay his | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
staff, his chalice and Bible. April, a very sensitive interview | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
took place on Look East bid team the presenter and Bishop Michael. | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
The Tom Elliot was delivered by Bishop Michael's right hand man. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Instructions for his funeral were not surprisingly very detailed, but | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
also very simple. He said he wanted the emphasis to be on the Christian | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
meaning of death rather than focusing on him. Michael Evans | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
became the Catholic Bishop of East Anglia in 2003. A parish priest | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
from Kent, he was appointed by Pope John Paul the second. Expecting to | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
serve for many years, Bishop Michael was diagnosed with cancer | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
in 2005. He was an incredibly gentle man, that is something that | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
came across for most of us. Whether he was dealing with problems all | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
just in his normal day-to-day life, he was an incredibly gentle man. | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
should be remembered as a wonderful friend to people, a great pastor, | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
and they think he should be remembered for the way in which he | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
approached his death. It is a strange thing to say, but the | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
measure of a man is in his dying and he lived fully until the last | :09:16. | :09:26. | |
:09:26. | :09:27. | ||
moment. They combined choir from Catholic schools led the singing of | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
:09:37. | :09:40. | ||
Bisham Michael's favourite hymn, I I shall miss him, we will miss him | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
very much. But now, thank God, his suffering is over and we pray that | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
:09:56. | :10:06. | ||
he is at peace. He is probably Bishop Michael's coffin was carried | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
from the west door of the cathedral before the clergy said a final | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
:10:19. | :10:19. | ||
farewell. Farewell to a priest described today as that funny | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
:10:29. | :10:29. | ||
little man we grew to laugh. Later in the programme: | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Current Look East reporter Nikki Jenkins reports from Luton, and one | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
of her predecessors was in Lavenham. This is the guildhall in Lavenham. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
It was built in the time of Henry VIII and it became the centre of | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
the cloth trade in this town. That's coming up after more news | :10:44. | :10:54. | |
:10:54. | :10:54. | ||
The disgraced Tory peer Lord Hanningfield has lost an appeal | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
against his conviction for fiddling parliamentary expenses. He who was | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
jailed on six counts of false accounting earlier this month. Our | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
political reporter Ben Bland was at today's hearing in London. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
The Lord was not in court today, but his lawyer launched the appeal | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
which focused on a direction that the judge gave to the jury at the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
very end of the trial. The judge had said to the jury, in deciding | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
whether it he was guilty or not, they had to ignore the fact that he | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
was out of pocket because over the years, he had spent more on his own | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
house than he had ever claimed back in expenses. His lawyer said that | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
that was a critical mist direction which meant a conviction was | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
inevitable. He said there was a difference between trying to lose - | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
- reduce your losses and making a game. The presiding judge said, as | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
ingenious as that suggestion was, it was wrong in law. He was | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
satisfied the jury did receive an actor right direction and for that | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
reason the appeal was rejected. What happens next? | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
Last week, the allowance was suspect -- suspended. It is still | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
open to him and his legal team to take it to the next level and | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
appeal further. They have not indicated whether they would do | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
that and in the meantime, it remains a county -- he remains a | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
county councillor in Essex albeit behind bars. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
A fire involving 40,000 tons of recycled wood chippings is still | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
burning two weeks after it caught light. The blaze started at Rio | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Recycling in Orsett in Essex on July 5th. Crews left the site last | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Friday to allow it to burn out naturally, but are still visiting | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
regularly to ensure it is safe. The Prince of Wales been speaking | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
of his huge admiration at the courage of Apache helicopter crews | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
in Afghanistan and Libya. The Prince was presenting campaign | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
medals to members of the Army Air Corps at Wattisham Airfield where | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
his younger son Prince Harry is training to be an Apache pilot. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
Back from Helmand, 130 men and women from 4 Regiment await their | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
:13:13. | :13:24. | ||
Colonel in Chief. For 35 of them, this their first operational tour. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
It obviously requires extraordinary skill, ingenuity and courage to fly | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
the Apache in order to support the troops on the ground. I have been | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
in the Prince of Wales's presents, but not what I was receiving a male. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
Today was fantastic. -- receiving a medal. You could forgive the Prince | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Charles for perhaps taking an added interest in Wattisham's crews. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
After all, his younger son, out of sight today, hopes to be flying an | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Apache in the skies over Helmand once he is battle trained next year. | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Prince Harry has already seen action in Afghanistan, as a forward | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
air controller, and has made no secret of his wish to return to the | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
front. Unlike other army units, which | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
deploy to Afghanistan every two years or so, Wattisham's two | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
regiments have between them been there continuously for the last | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
five years, which is why some men and women here are now on their 8th | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
tour of Afghanistan. Of course we should not forget that | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Wattisham's Apaches are seeing action on two fronts, both in | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Afghanistan and here in the Mediterranean, flying from HMS | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Ocean to strike key targets in Libya. That must put a terrific | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
strain on the two regiments. definitely does. It has to be done | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
with understanding of what needs to be achieved. Prince Charles made a | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
point of chatting to families of serving soldiers, acutely aware | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
that one day his son might take part in a homecoming parade here. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
The analogue TV signal in Essex and most of Suffolk was switched off | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
last night. It means if you have a Freeview TV | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
or box, you may need to re-tune. If you receive your television from | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
Sky, Freesat or a cable supplier, you won't be affected. If you want | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
more information or help, you can phone the Digital UK helpline on | :15:07. | :15:17. | |
08456 50 50 50 or go to the website at www.digitaluk.co.uk. Here's a | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
fact. Back in the 1960s, 10% of Norwich's workforce made shoes | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
specifically shoes for women and children. Many factories have since | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
fallen by the wayside of course, but one is celebrating its 75th | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
birthday. The Florida Shoe Factory in 1936. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
It was based on Florida Corner in Norwich. By the boom of the late | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
50's, the company moved its name and its base here to the north of | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the city. At its height, 400 people worked here.. Now there are about | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
90. Alan Lake is one of the longest serving. There was a stream of | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
people here when I first came into the trade. The girls were upstairs, | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
two or three lines of them. Their work was quite different to what it | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
is today. This factory makes 1,200 pairs of shoes a week and while it | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
uses cheap labour in Asia, 15% of their shoes are made from start to | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:16. | ||
The shoes they're making are called Van Dal, a wider fitting ladies | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
shoes originally referred to as the Norfolk Broads. The brand name came | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
from the current chairman's father 65 years ago. On a very good night | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
out, they were deciding what to call themselves. The night got | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
longer, the conversation flowed and they decided to call themselves the | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
vandals. Having done that, they it stylised it, hyphenated it and that | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
is where the word originally came from. It was nothing to do with | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
Holland at all. So that is the history, but what about the future? | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
The nature of the business means that you could be more or less | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
located anywhere in the country, all in Europe. There are big | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
benefits of being in Norwich. There is an expertise locally that we can | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
draw from. But for now they're looking backwards. To mark 75 years | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
in Norwich, they've launched the Van Dal vintage range using their | :17:17. | :17:27. | |

You're watching Look East from the BBC. Coming up: | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
It's just not badminton. Stars speak out on the rows that split | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
It's been 12 months since devastating floods hit Pakistan | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
displacing millions of people. Earlier this year, Look East | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
reporter Nikki Jenkins travelled to some of the worst effected areas to | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
see how money raised here was helping people there. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Now with Ramadan, a traditional time for giving, once again | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
approaching, she reports on how the Luton fundraisers are returning to | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
their task with renewed determination. | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
They had come to ensure the money had gone on where it was more | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
needed. What they saw was that it was needed more. From a fund- | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
raising perspective, we need to do more here. You have raised to X | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
amount of money, but X amount of money needs to be raised so you do | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
more work. Four months on and the first | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
Islamic Relief's shop in Luton is open for business. It is not just | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
Luton, people come from Hemel had a Henstead, Bedford, they drive all | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
that way to donate things. -- Hemel Hempstead. When we got back, the | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
response was inspiring. We saw that we needed more presence in the | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
community after the work we did out there. The group's first | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
fundraising dinner was the most ambitious Luton's Muslim community | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
had ever hosted, boasting cricket star Shahid Afridi. We provide | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
water for 2000 people every single day. This Friday a second will try | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
and replicate its success. money from this event will go to a | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
found Dench and. The charity has been longing for a long time and | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
they help support the school's cost for the year. -- the money will go | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
to a foundation. We will help people sponsor a school. We are | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
thinking of sponsoring at least 15 schools. The Luton community is | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
very giving and are supportive of good causes. If they can see work | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
being done, and that was a key thing from our trip, people | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
physically saw the work being done. It has been very positive. And with | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
a new Africa crisis emerging they plan to expand their fundraising | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
horizons in the years to come. When you think of badminton, you | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
might think of Gail Emms and Nathan Robertson winning a silver medal at | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
the Olympics in 2004. 4.5 million people watched them win in Athens | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
but since then the sport's struggled. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Poor results and arguments within the squad have led to its funding | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
being cut. Coaches now hope they can rebuild the sports image in the | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
build up towards the London Olympics. | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
Thrilling the nation, the nation winning a silver medal in Athens, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
but that was seven years ago and since then badminton has struggled | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
to hit the same heights. We have gone through a transitional period | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
in the last few years. Gail and myself were Commonwealth champions | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
and that is difficult to replicate because we have the same players at | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
the top of the sport for so long that we did not get the next group | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
of players able to come through. While Gail retired, Robertson keeps | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
going, training here at the local badminton centre in Milton Keynes. | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
The sport has recovered from a turbulent time. A long standing | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
dispute has led to the resignation of the team's coat. They have been | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
rows and sacking of coach is, for rings out, certain players being | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
thrown out of the squad, that is not what you need. We are not | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
telling people that you have to live with each other, we just want | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
them to practise on court, the competitive and then take that | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
balance into your tournaments. a drop in standards, badminton | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
could not argue about a cut in funding bike UK Sport, that there | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
is hope for the future. Much is expected of this man. This woman is | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
also one for the future. 2012 will come too soon go. Probably not this | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
one because my banking is not high enough to get into the bigger | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
tournaments. Definitely the next one, I am hoping that I will be in | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
Brazil. This couple of are the best hope of a medal at next month's | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Championships in London. Others will be in the spotlight for the | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
first time as Englishmen -- English badminton tries to recapture some | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
of its former glory. There is often a problem with sport | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
when a big name retires or leaves the sport. | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
Absolutely, things like rowing with Redgrave. That is another sport, | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
perhaps cycling. When they eventually go, replacing them his | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
own difficult and that is what is happening in badminton. | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
We wish them all the best, we hope they get more medals. We're going | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
from present day Look East now to regional TV in the old days. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
A programme tonight on BBC 4 is looking back at how things used to | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
be. Look East was the first BBC regional news programme to make it | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
to air. Some great reporters started life here, but not everyone | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :22:58. | ||
was complimentary. Smokeless zones in northern towns | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
and cities. The BBC's regional TV service was launched in an attempt | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
to compete with the Nikkei on the television blog in the late 1950s. | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
:23:21. | :23:24. | ||
That was ITV. First up is the Anglian news. We arrogantly thought | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
the BBC was a complete joke. We thrashed them to bits of. I think | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
the ITV stations it did very well. When I was at the BBC, the director | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
watched Look East and he was appalled by the standards and so he | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
sent the editor to instruct us in the basics of television. We were a | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
bit hurt, but we learnt a lot. were black and white, we were on | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
film. Two years ago, the colonel died and there was a big recruiting | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:14. | ||
problem. What is the situation now? I was doing it in what I imagine | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
where the cut-glass accents of the upper class. I was trying to beat | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
David Dimbleby. The extra Orient -- extraordinary thing about this area | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
is this: There are a score of houses like this. What do you think | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
of the fact that the trains are later? If you cannot work out who | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
this is, find out tonight on BBC Four at 9pm. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
Not much has changed! Absolutely nothing at all! | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
I love the voices, they are so posh. We tried very hard not to talk like | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
There has been a lot of cloud around today. This was our | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
satellite start at 5pm. A couple of places got sunshine, but the reason | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
for this cloud has been that we have been between two areas of | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
pressure, one to the south-west and one further north. I'm going to run | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
the bait of shot to show where the shower activity was. -- run at the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
radar chart. There are some showers that have merged together to form | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
more persistent rain in the south which is mainly affecting part | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
fidget and Essex. For this evening, those areas will continue to have a | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
couple of light showers. On the whole, the rain will clear away, | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
but it could linger, perhaps parts of Essex and the Suffolk coast | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
might get some showers, but largely dry. Towards the end of the night, | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
clear spells developing in the West. Temperatures could fall to 10 | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
degrees. The winds are mainly light and variable, but by the time we | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
get to morning, they will be light. For tomorrow, there will be some | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
sunshine around and the cloud will break to allow more sunshine, but | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
also we could see some sharp showers so a dry and bright start | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
for many of us through the morning. Then the showers will get going. | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
There will be a good scattering and they could turn heavy in places, | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
but you will see that between the showers, there will be some gaps | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
and some sunshine. Temperatures likely to climb to 20 degrees. The | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
winds will stay light and you will see what that, around the Norfolk | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
coast line, temperatures will mark get higher than 17 degrees. On the | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
coast, on the beach itself, it could be a bit cooler. Through the | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
afternoon, we keep a risk of showers and the potential to turn | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
heavy. Also you will see there is some sunshine expected, | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
particularly in the north of Norfolk by the end of the day into | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
the evening. For the rest of the week and into the weekend, I will | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
bring the pressure chart back to show you we have got a bridge -- a | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
ridge of high pressure so that promises more settled weather. The | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
only thing is we are between an area of low pressure over | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Scandinavia and these weather systems over the Atlantic so we | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
have still got the potential for some light showers. It is mostly | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
dry for Friday and Saturday, the chance of an isolated shower, but | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
it does look like for the 7th -- second half of the weekend there | :27:25. | :27:33. |
