:01:09. > :01:13.17 people have been arrested during several outbreaks of public
:01:13. > :01:19.disorder across the region. The police have been confronted by
:01:19. > :01:24.large groups of youths. Windows were smashed in but we did escape
:01:24. > :01:33.the serious riots seen elsewhere in the country. The worst trouble was
:01:33. > :01:40.in Milton Keynes, Northampton, Cambridge, and Basildon. Police
:01:40. > :01:45.have more visible patrols in place. There are groups of people hanging
:01:45. > :01:50.around in Bletchley this evening in expectation, but no sign of
:01:50. > :01:55.violence or disorder. There is an increase of police patrols on foot
:01:55. > :02:03.and in cars as they seek to reassure an understandably jumpy
:02:03. > :02:06.public. Leslie was the culmination of a rampaged which happened,
:02:06. > :02:10.beginning in the centre of Milton Keynes.
:02:10. > :02:16.This was the moment that the trouble spread to Bletchley. This
:02:16. > :02:24.trouble had the shutters down but did not have time to move their
:02:24. > :02:31.display. This is the damage they can do. The customers inside were
:02:31. > :02:40.children, panicking, calling their families. I was trying to can them
:02:40. > :02:44.down. I left a few of my staff inside. It was very panicky for the
:02:44. > :02:49.customers. This exclusive CCTV shows a riot
:02:49. > :02:55.police five minutes behind the gang. But businesses were left vulnerable
:02:55. > :02:59.in their path. About 30 to 50 youths made their
:02:59. > :03:04.way through a number of estate towards Bletchley, committing
:03:04. > :03:09.offences as they went, criminal damage, petrol bombs and missiles
:03:09. > :03:12.were thrown, and there was a robbery in a business premises in
:03:12. > :03:18.Bletchley. A member of the public was injured
:03:18. > :03:22.in that robbery. Another was injured in a fire here. Police do
:03:22. > :03:30.not know if this was part of the wider trouble. Across
:03:30. > :03:35.Northamptonshire, there were 257 linked incidents.
:03:35. > :03:40.At the end of the day, people working at this car was, just
:03:40. > :03:46.trying to make a living, to pay their bills.
:03:46. > :03:52.14 people were arrested in total, eight during the disturbances in
:03:52. > :04:02.Northampton. In a new move, police are charging
:04:02. > :04:03.
:04:03. > :04:08.those orchestrating the unrest on social networks.
:04:08. > :04:12.There are warnings about how Twitter is being used. That is
:04:12. > :04:17.where rumours are circulating. Thames Valley Police have been
:04:17. > :04:24.criticised about not keeping their Twitter paid up to date. No mention
:04:24. > :04:28.for example about petrol bombs. They say they have arrested be
:04:28. > :04:38.ringleaders but so far, rumours have outstripped the reality. A

:05:10. > :05:17.sites and very quickly, a crowd of hundreds had gathered.
:05:17. > :05:26.It is very scary, that social networking, which is what I believe
:05:26. > :05:30.cost last night's gathering, it is like people acting like lemmings.
:05:30. > :05:35.Many of those involved in the large-scale rioting seen in our
:05:35. > :05:40.cities are young. What do young people here think?
:05:40. > :05:47.People that have money have money, and people that do not, they have
:05:47. > :05:56.to suffer. Maybe they are so -- they are frustrated. There is no
:05:56. > :06:01.work. I think they should send them all to Afghanistan. I seriously
:06:01. > :06:06.think they should do that. I think they're getting away with murder.
:06:06. > :06:11.think it's is pointless. It is just criminal and costing the taxpayer
:06:11. > :06:15.money. Most of those doing it are not even taxpayers and you can tell
:06:15. > :06:23.they do not have a job because they would not be out at that time of
:06:23. > :06:29.night. People being criminalised, and eventually, it all kicks off.
:06:29. > :06:34.That is what happens. They are just rubbing now.
:06:34. > :06:40.We are close to London here. Businesses like this courier
:06:40. > :06:45.company have been affected. Most of our drivers are contract
:06:45. > :06:53.drivers who on their own vehicles. Obviously they are worried about
:06:53. > :07:00.those. Police are hoping their presence in
:07:00. > :07:07.the town will act as a deterrent. We will speak now to the manager of
:07:07. > :07:12.a shop in -- the shopping centre in Essex. You have been putting out
:07:12. > :07:17.information to people, what have you told them?
:07:17. > :07:22.Good evening. Because of certain concerns from various retail
:07:22. > :07:27.managers, we felt it prudent that we communicate at this time of
:07:27. > :07:31.concern and we decided to issue an aide memoire to people to follow in
:07:31. > :07:37.the event of a any activity they feel might be detrimental to their
:07:37. > :07:43.business. It is a commonsense approach, based on advice from the
:07:43. > :07:49.Home Office, such as, take high- value goods out of your windows,
:07:49. > :07:57.make sure there is as little cash as possible on the premises, ensure
:07:57. > :08:07.that your alarm systems and CCTV systems are working. I worried, I
:08:07. > :08:11.
:08:11. > :08:15.am nervous are people there? -- how a nervous. Retail managers have
:08:15. > :08:18.spoken to me so we felt it prudent to allay those concerns by saying
:08:18. > :08:22.that we are in communication with Essex police who are taking a view
:08:22. > :08:29.on what is happening in the wider area and we will keep them up to
:08:29. > :08:33.speed, the main thing is not to be complacent. I see at the bottom of
:08:33. > :08:37.your tips, it says, no heroics. Do you think some shopkeepers might
:08:37. > :08:42.feel they want to get more involved?
:08:42. > :08:52.Yes, indeed. The two main point I wanted to make that I left to the
:08:52. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:57.end of the list, do not scaremonger and cost more panic. And finally,
:08:57. > :09:07.no heroics. It is not worth losing a life.

:16:36. > :16:41.site covering an area of the North Sea the size of Norfolk. What's
:16:42. > :16:46.more, thousands of new jobs will be created.
:16:46. > :16:51.This week we have been looking at Greater Gabbard. When it is
:16:51. > :16:56.finished it will be the world's biggest offshore windfarm, with its
:16:56. > :17:00.140 Winter bounce it is quite a sight. Nothing stands still in
:17:00. > :17:05.renewable energy. Records are being broken all the time. In a few years
:17:05. > :17:09.a windfarm will be built that will make even greater - - Greater

:19:48. > :19:53.you? I'm all right. Sleepy? Yeah. And what can you remember off a
:19:53. > :19:57.week ago? Now think, really. emergency services almost certainly
:19:57. > :20:02.saved her life. The air ambulance was on the scene in eight minutes
:20:02. > :20:07.and they called in the flying doctor who picked a Lydiate in a
:20:07. > :20:13.controlled Comber. They said to me if you could just keep saying to
:20:13. > :20:21.her you are here, and if she can hear you to squeeze your hand. She
:20:21. > :20:26.just didn't squeeze my hand. Seven hours passed and eventually, maybe
:20:26. > :20:35.nine RS past, and I said to her if you could squeeze my hand, and she
:20:35. > :20:45.squeezed my hand. It was better than winning the lottery. I knew
:20:45. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:50.that she could hear me. Olivia had severe swelling. Back on today the
:20:50. > :20:54.card say get well soon, and she is getting well, but the family know
:20:54. > :21:00.they have been lucky. The air ambulance was there within eight
:21:00. > :21:05.minutes. All these people, if it wasn't for them, I don't think I
:21:05. > :21:09.would have my Olivia home today. A big thank-you to all those people.
:21:09. > :21:19.When are you hoping to get back on a horse? It is meant to be three
:21:19. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:27.months. It will be three months! Olivia has two horses of Tyrone and
:21:27. > :21:31.G had been asking to see them since she will Cup. This is her favourite.

:22:12. > :22:19.Sound of Music which continues to It has got a fabulous score. It has
:22:19. > :22:24.got a story that will appeal to everyone. It is a love story. It is
:22:24. > :22:29.a lovely poignant musical drama. guess many people coming through
:22:29. > :22:36.the doors as you tour the country will have firmly in their minds the
:22:36. > :22:43.way that Christopher Plummer play Captain von Trapp. The try to do it
:22:43. > :22:49.differently? One of the great secrets of acting his thefts. If

:23:01. > :23:08.that! Mike Captain von Trapp his mind. I have not seen the movies
:23:08. > :23:15.since it came out. It must have had such an impact because I remember
:23:15. > :23:22.it really well. I remember being quite frightened of the captain. I
:23:22. > :23:29.remembered the songs. What about the singing in this production? Be
:23:29. > :23:35.enjoyed the singing? Well, I do enjoy its. When we started the
:23:35. > :23:42.production, the director asked me if I played the guitar. I said yes.
:23:42. > :23:52.I had not played for 20 years! Edelweiss is quite as simple song.

:24:11. > :24:19.Getting my digits to work, so I Do you get the audience joining in?
:24:19. > :24:27.A I am told they do. Mercifully, we can hear it! Many people sitting in
:24:27. > :24:34.the audience will know you and remember you as Robin of Sherwood
:24:35. > :24:41.back in the 1980s. The 1840 I think it was. Do you look back on that
:24:41. > :24:49.series fondly? There are actors who refused to discuss the thing that
:24:49. > :24:54.brought them to attention, which I have always found slightly odd. No
:24:55. > :25:02.one really can ever say to any great degree of certainty why
:25:02. > :25:08.something becomes very successful. In Robin of Sherwood we had great
:25:08. > :25:14.stories. The music was sublime and it was caste really well. You are
:25:14. > :25:21.in Norwich for two weeks. I know it is a packed schedule with matinee
:25:21. > :25:25.performances. When you get any chance to explore the county?
:25:25. > :25:30.love coming here. I have done a couple of plays in this glorious
:25:30. > :25:35.theatre. I found a mini-series around you once. Hopefully there
