A very good evening to you. Welcome to Look North. The headlines: The

:00:08.:00:13.

controversial children's opera - hundreds of pupils go back on stage

:00:13.:00:18.

after one word comes out of the script. Although it's been a

:00:18.:00:21.

disappointing episode in our collaboration, the important thing

:00:21.:00:25.

is that we have got a performance at the end of it.

:00:25.:00:29.

Four families are made homeless after a suspected arson attack in

:00:29.:00:34.

Hull. Devastated. Just can't put into

:00:34.:00:38.

words. Horrible. Especially when the fire got going and I could hear

:00:38.:00:43.

the roof falling in. The number of migrant workers

:00:43.:00:48.

increases in Boston. There are calls for more money for the area.

:00:48.:00:52.

Why it's a very special day for this East Yorkshire great-

:00:52.:00:57.

grandmother. She's number one in the East Riding.

:00:57.:01:01.

Number two in Yorkshire. I believe she's about 28 in Britain.

:01:01.:01:11.
:01:11.:01:19.

I will be back with your detailed Good evening. It sparked a row

:01:19.:01:23.

between its writer, a school and the local council and a opera

:01:23.:01:27.

company. The show with a lead character who is gay will go on.

:01:27.:01:37.
:01:37.:01:43.

The production of Beached takes place in Bridlington next weekend.

:01:44.:01:48.

Now after 48 hours and a very public disagreement played out in

:01:48.:01:53.

the national media, the writer has agreed to replacing the offending

:01:53.:01:57.

word. It's a row which has been going on

:01:57.:02:01.

behind-the-scenes for weeks. But now the issue surrounding the opera

:02:01.:02:05.

Beached have been resolved. We are thrilled to be able to say we are

:02:05.:02:09.

going ahead with the opera as the writer has agreed to change the

:02:09.:02:15.

words to more age-appropriate as we had asked. Emma Hobbs felt the

:02:15.:02:21.

language was offensive and inappropriate for young children,

:02:21.:02:25.

especially one word in particular. We asked "queer" to be changed to

:02:25.:02:29.

the word "gay. The writer, who is best-known for Billy Elliot, e-

:02:29.:02:33.

mailed Look North to say he had been appalled by the whole process

:02:33.:02:37.

and that he had always been willing to rewrite the script. So although

:02:37.:02:43.

the opera is now going ahead, there is still a lot of unrest. The

:02:43.:02:46.

school hasn't had any direct contact with the writer. Even

:02:46.:02:52.

though he's been on national television to speak about it.

:02:52.:02:57.

character says, "Of course, I'm queer, that is why I left here."

:02:57.:03:02.

Was that the only line that was a problem? There's been all sorts of

:03:02.:03:08.

things that we have worked with the school and with Opera North. That

:03:08.:03:13.

is the only line in question. To me - it is the only line that you know

:03:13.:03:17.

that the character is gay. school has never courted the

:03:17.:03:22.

national media about this or written online about it, or taken

:03:22.:03:26.

it out to a wider forum like that. We have always been happy to

:03:26.:03:29.

discuss this. Despite all the attention, parents are just happy

:03:29.:03:35.

the play is back on. I'm over the moon the play is back on. My son is

:03:35.:03:40.

very excited to be able to do it. I can't wait to buy the tickets. It

:03:40.:03:45.

is the right decision to go ahead. Looking forward to it. Now tickets

:03:45.:03:49.

are able to go on sale, organisers are hoping the seats will be full

:03:49.:03:57.

next week. Well, Richard Mantle is from Opera North. He told me about

:03:57.:04:03.

the changes that have been made to the script. To the opera, there

:04:03.:04:06.

have been a number of small changes to text that have been happening

:04:07.:04:14.

over a number of weeks now. Finally, the changes turned the tide if that

:04:15.:04:23.

is the right word. The character says, "I'm queer" to "I'm gay."

:04:24.:04:27.

did the original line get through in the first place? Anyone could

:04:27.:04:31.

have told you it was offensive? don't think it necessarily - it

:04:31.:04:36.

depends on your audience. You don't think it was necessarily offensive?

:04:36.:04:40.

Not necessarily, no. But it was - we have responded to the school. We

:04:40.:04:45.

have been trying to get it changed for some weeks because we are there

:04:45.:04:49.

as a sort of broker, we have commissioned a piece for a

:04:49.:04:52.

performance by the school and the school have to advise us what can

:04:52.:04:56.

be appropriate. We have to learn from them. We have taken their

:04:56.:05:01.

steer and achieved the change. writer has told us he would have

:05:01.:05:06.

changed the script at any point. Well... Why do we have this

:05:06.:05:09.

farcical on-off for three days? Maybe you shouldn't believe

:05:09.:05:12.

everything you hear from Lee Hall. Opera North highly regarded track

:05:12.:05:17.

record for commissioning new works for young people. Yeah. That is in

:05:17.:05:22.

your statement. Did you not spot how controversial this would be?

:05:22.:05:26.

think we have known that elements of the piece potentially could be

:05:26.:05:32.

quite controversial. Lee writes in a robust way. The school, who is

:05:32.:05:36.

part of this whole project, have been taken along with us on this

:05:36.:05:40.

and we have worked with them and where they have found a problem we

:05:40.:05:46.

have sort of brokered that with Lee. What we did was run into the

:05:46.:05:50.

buffers last week with Lee when he refused to make any change.

:05:50.:05:55.

Embarrassing few days for Opera North and the writer? No. We have a

:05:55.:05:59.

fantastic project. The kids in Bridlington have been continuing to

:05:59.:06:03.

rehearse, there is a lot of excitement and it will be great

:06:03.:06:07.

next week. Thank you. The story that has run and run this week. Do

:06:08.:06:12.

the changes make any difference? That one word, maybe you are a

:06:13.:06:17.

parent watching tonight in Bridlington. Let me know what you

:06:18.:06:27.
:06:28.:06:36.

think. E-mail us at In a moment: The first green energy

:06:36.:06:42.

park in the country is switched on in Lincolnshire.

:06:42.:06:45.

Four families on a Hull estate have been left homeless after arsonists

:06:45.:06:48.

attacked a house on their street. Five homes in total have been

:06:48.:06:52.

damaged and the people who live in them have been told that all of

:06:52.:06:54.

those houses may have to be completely knocked down. No-one was

:06:54.:06:57.

seriously hurt, but several of the families are uninsured and face

:06:57.:07:00.

being left with nothing. Kate Sweeting has been to meet some of

:07:00.:07:10.

those affected. I looked out and I saw the glow from the fire. I woke

:07:10.:07:20.
:07:20.:07:21.

up the wife. I think Liz's house is on fire. I have to go and get the

:07:21.:07:26.

kids out. The flames ripped through their homes in a matter of minutes,

:07:26.:07:31.

leaving the families with almost nothing. Just pure devastation, I

:07:31.:07:35.

don't know where do you start on rebuilding what you have lost? It

:07:35.:07:40.

is not just what you have got in the house, it's all your memories,

:07:40.:07:44.

your personal bits. It is where do you begin? Investigators are here

:07:44.:07:47.

trying to work out what caused the fire but the extent of the damage

:07:47.:07:51.

means that it will be many months before the families are able to

:07:51.:07:54.

return and I am told there is a possibility that this entire row of

:07:54.:07:58.

houses will have to be knocked down. There's only 40% of the people on

:07:59.:08:04.

this row that are insured. The other people have lost everything.

:08:04.:08:09.

They have to be devastated. They are waking up this morning, if any

:08:09.:08:13.

of them have had any sleep, with nothing in the world left.

:08:13.:08:17.

follows a similar attack at the weekend on the same estate. Luckily,

:08:17.:08:21.

the family got out unhurt despite being trapped by the flames. In

:08:22.:08:26.

this latest incident, the arsonists set fire to a bin in a shed outside

:08:26.:08:29.

this house which spread with astonishing speed leaving four of

:08:29.:08:33.

the houses almost totally destroyed. Obviously, we will look at that

:08:33.:08:37.

incident, not in isolation, but ensure we are catching all of the

:08:37.:08:41.

relevant evidence to ensure if there are a link, we will make

:08:41.:08:46.

those links. As the reality of what's happened starts to hit home

:08:46.:08:50.

for these families, many of the residents say they are frightened

:08:50.:08:58.

for their own safety in case the arsonists strike again.

:08:58.:09:03.

Daryl Oprey is from Humberside Fire Service. He is there at the scene.

:09:03.:09:08.

How has this fire caused so much damage? Good evening, Peter. The

:09:08.:09:12.

fire started in the bin shed as the reporter said and as with any fire,

:09:12.:09:18.

if you give it some fuel load and it will take hold quite rapidly.

:09:18.:09:22.

The fire will warm up other things in the area which will go on fire

:09:22.:09:26.

and that is how the fire has spread. It is incredible that people got

:09:26.:09:32.

out alive and fairly unharmed. What do you put that down to? It is.

:09:32.:09:36.

There's a couple of things. Ourselves and our colleagues the

:09:36.:09:40.

police and other agencies work very hard in communities to make sure

:09:40.:09:44.

that people are safe so smoke detectors save lives and the Fire

:09:44.:09:48.

Service are here to help and make sure that people are safe in their

:09:48.:09:53.

homes and in fact there is an event running on 16th July where this

:09:53.:09:58.

community itself will be helping itself to keep itself safer. So we

:09:58.:10:02.

all actually help to keep ourselves safe. We have had several suspected

:10:03.:10:06.

arson attacks in the last couple of days. Generally, they are more

:10:06.:10:12.

common. What is in the head of these people? Why do they do it?

:10:12.:10:16.

There are many different reasons, Peter, why people will set fire.

:10:16.:10:21.

Some is just out of fascination. Some is actually unfortunately with

:10:21.:10:24.

intent to harm other people. At this stage, we really don't know

:10:24.:10:29.

what was in the head of this arsonist. Do they think about the

:10:29.:10:34.

consequences of people generally? Clearly, not, Peter. There were

:10:34.:10:39.

people in those homes when they set those properties on fire. So I

:10:39.:10:42.

would say clearly they weren't thinking of the welfare of those

:10:42.:10:45.

people. Some of these people who have done this could be watching

:10:45.:10:49.

tonight. What do you say to them? Well, what I would say to them is

:10:49.:10:53.

just have a look at the devastation you have done to people's homes.

:10:53.:10:57.

Look at the lives you have endangered and please, please

:10:57.:11:04.

reconsider what you are doing. good to talk to you. Thank you. In

:11:04.:11:10.

another suspected arson attack: A woman and her three young

:11:10.:11:12.

children are recovering in hospital after arsonists set fire to their

:11:12.:11:15.

home in Lincoln. The Emergency Services were called to Scorer

:11:15.:11:18.

Street near Sincil Bank in the early hours of this morning. Fire

:11:18.:11:21.

officers say the family owe their lives to their smoke alarm. They

:11:21.:11:24.

have also praised neighbours and passers-by who are believed to have

:11:24.:11:27.

helped fight the fire by breaking down the door and throwing buckets

:11:27.:11:34.

of water onto the flames. We heard a scream. I knew it was her. We saw

:11:34.:11:40.

smoke and ran out and she got the kids out. We got the kids over to

:11:40.:11:42.

my house. The security company Group Four

:11:42.:11:45.

says a crash last night involving a van full of inmates from Hull

:11:45.:11:47.

Prison is being treated as an accident. Three prisoners were

:11:48.:11:50.

taken to hospital in York after the van overturned near Tadcaster. The

:11:51.:11:53.

six other inmates involved were returned to Hull. The driver was

:11:53.:11:57.

also injured in the crash. Four teenagers have been rescued by

:11:58.:12:00.

lifeboat crews after getting trapped against the sea wall near

:12:00.:12:05.

Grimsby Docks. The two boys and two girls were spotted by the

:12:05.:12:07.

Humberside Police helicopter while on routine patrol. The group had

:12:07.:12:11.

not called for help as they thought they could not make 999 calls with

:12:11.:12:15.

no credit on their mobile phones. Their rescuers say they're lucky to

:12:15.:12:25.
:12:25.:12:25.

be alive. They realised that they was going to get home tonight. It

:12:25.:12:34.

was four youths, two males and two females. The two boys, they seemed

:12:34.:12:39.

really pleased and that. The girls was a bit frightened of the

:12:39.:12:43.

situation to be honest. The power of the sun is now being

:12:43.:12:46.

harnessed in Lincolnshire after the country's first solar energy park

:12:46.:12:50.

went live today. The park in fields at Conisholme near Louth will

:12:50.:12:54.

provide enough electricity to power around 300 homes. The company says

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:06.

the site will operate for 25 years. The big switch-on for a brand-new

:13:06.:13:11.

source of energy in Britain all thanks to the Lincolnshire sunshine.

:13:11.:13:15.

On this site we have 5,000 solar panels, each one of them has 48 of

:13:15.:13:21.

these silicon wafers. This is technology developed by NASA a few

:13:21.:13:26.

decades ago to power satellites up in space. This is the UK's first

:13:26.:13:30.

major solar sun park, combined with the neighbouring wind farm the site

:13:30.:13:36.

will produce 17 megawatts of energy, enough to power 10,000 homes every

:13:36.:13:40.

year. Solar technology has been maturing and it's taken off in

:13:40.:13:44.

other countries of the world. Our last Government introduced the

:13:44.:13:48.

feed-in tariff scheme and that enabled us to build these and to

:13:48.:13:52.

put solar-power into the grid. While this is the first UK sun park,

:13:52.:13:58.

the company here says it may be the last. They say the Government's cut

:13:58.:14:02.

support by 75% meaning future developments like this will be

:14:02.:14:08.

unfeasible. It is a great day on the one hand. It is a sad day

:14:08.:14:09.

because it is the last for a little while until the Government has a

:14:09.:14:13.

change of heart. Government says the changes to the feed-in tariff

:14:13.:14:21.

were necessary, speaking last month "Without action, the scheme would

:14:21.:14:23.

be overwhelmed. The new tariffs will ensure a sustained growth path

:14:23.:14:27.

for the solar industry while protecting the money for

:14:27.:14:29.

householders, small businesses and communities and will also further

:14:29.:14:36.

encourage the uptake of green electricity from anaerobic

one day become a leading renewable energy resource. Still to come: The

number of migrant workers increases in Boston. There are calls for more

great-grandmother. How are you? Very well. My

:15:36.:15:43.

favourite e-mail comes from Dave who has moved from Hull to the Isle

:15:43.:15:47.

of Sheppy. He has had a satellite installed so he can watch the news!

:15:47.:15:55.

He needs to get a life! Is that down in Essex? It's Kent, I think.

:15:55.:15:59.

Is it?! I think so. Caught me on the hop there! I'm sure it is Essex.

:15:59.:16:03.

I am sure our viewers will let us I am sure our viewers will let us

:16:03.:16:09.

know. The headlines: Very unsettled. We will have more of these

:16:09.:16:14.

thunderstorm clouds. We have had one or two of those in the last few

:16:14.:16:17.

hours. Some big thunderstorms have kicked off because low pressure

:16:17.:16:21.

remains in charge. Tomorrow will be another unsettled day. That said,

:16:21.:16:31.
:16:31.:16:33.

many of you will have had a good deal of sunshine. Certainly parts

:16:33.:16:36.

of northern parts of Lincolnshire have seen some thunderstorms and

:16:36.:16:41.

there are still one or two around. The trend will be overnight for the

:16:42.:16:46.

showers to fizzle out and most areas will become dry with clear

:16:46.:16:56.
:16:56.:17:00.

spells. The sun rises in the morning at 4.41. Most of us then

:17:00.:17:04.

off to a dry, possibly a bright start but cloud will build fairly

:17:04.:17:07.

quickly through the morning. Possibly longer outbreaks of rain

:17:07.:17:11.

for a time through the morning. The skies will brighten through the

:17:11.:17:15.

afternoon and the heavy showers may well begin to fizzle out towards

:17:15.:17:20.

tomorrow evening. Which ever way you look at it, it will be very

:17:20.:17:27.

unsettled indeed with top temperatures of 19 Celsius in Hull.

:17:27.:17:32.

Now although the weekend is looking unsettled, it is a very

:17:32.:17:35.

straightforward forecast. There will be some decent weather around.

:17:35.:17:39.

There is an ongoing risk of some heavy showers with a risk of

:17:39.:17:46.

thunder. That is the forecast. replica of the Olympic Torch has

:17:46.:17:53.

been in Lincolnshire today. Linda writes in, "You should carry the

:17:53.:17:59.

torch for Lincoln." You will be torch for Lincoln." You will be

:17:59.:18:04.

back again tomorrow night. See you tomorrow.

:18:04.:18:07.

Boston's MP has tonight told Look North that his town will continue

:18:07.:18:10.

to rely on migrant workers to fill jobs because jobless British people

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:25.

are walking away from work they His comments come as officials in

:18:25.:18:28.

Boston say more money is needed from the Government to help with

:18:28.:18:29.

the growing population of migrant workers.

:18:30.:18:32.

Last year 22% fewer overseas workers registered for National

:18:32.:18:34.

Insurance in Lincolnshire compared to three years ago. The drop in

:18:35.:18:38.

England as a whole was the same. But in Boston the numbers have gone

:18:38.:18:46.

up. Over the past decade, migrant workers have become increasingly

:18:46.:18:50.

crucial to Lincolnshire's agriculture and food processing

:18:50.:18:55.

industries. More than 60% of the workforce here at this vegetable

:18:55.:18:59.

producers originate from overseas and the company says they simply

:18:59.:19:03.

couldn't compete without them. It's thought up to a quarter of the

:19:03.:19:08.

town's population could now be made up of immigrants. People go where

:19:08.:19:12.

there's jobs, don't they? If there wasn't work, they wouldn't be here.

:19:12.:19:16.

I understand the people who are coming in are contributing a great

:19:16.:19:20.

deal to the economy. How many properties did we let? The town's

:19:20.:19:23.

letting agents would certainly agree migrant workers have been

:19:23.:19:28.

good for business. Over the last five years, rents have increased

:19:28.:19:35.

quite easily by 20-25% depending on the type of property that you are

:19:35.:19:42.

looking at. The town properties have improved the best. Five years

:19:42.:19:48.

ago, around 5% of Park Primary's population was international. Now

:19:48.:19:52.

it is more than 50% and that stretches the school's resources to

:19:52.:19:56.

the limit. It is not easy. We do receive a bit of extra funding from

:19:56.:20:00.

the local authority. By no means enough. We have got a very skilled

:20:00.:20:06.

and committed staff. We have hired some Polish-speaking translators

:20:06.:20:10.

and teaching assistants. Yes, it is a challenge. Local council

:20:10.:20:15.

officials agree that it is time the Government took notice of this

:20:15.:20:20.

trend. All Boston Borough Council has ever sought is its fair share

:20:20.:20:23.

of resources to deliver our servicess to our local community

:20:23.:20:31.

and once we know hopefully from Census figures what our population

:20:31.:20:34.

is, the national allocation system will give us our fair share which

:20:34.:20:39.

is all we have ever been seeking. So while migrant workers continue

:20:39.:20:43.

to toil for our economy, local officials will also be working hard

:20:43.:20:52.

to secure more funding for the area. Mark Simmonds is the Conservative

:20:52.:20:57.

MP for Boston and Skegness. He told me why he thought the number of

:20:57.:21:00.

migrant workers in Boston is still on the increase. It is difficult to

:21:01.:21:04.

gauge. Nobody has an accurate indication of how many migrant

:21:04.:21:07.

workers there are in the borough of Boston. There are some significant

:21:07.:21:10.

estimates that have been made both through numbers that have

:21:10.:21:15.

registered with GPs or those on the electoral roll, I don't think that

:21:15.:21:24.

counts for any of the real numbers there are there. We must welcome

:21:24.:21:30.

migrant workers and the public sector funding needs to reflect the

:21:30.:21:35.

number of people living in the Boston area. They don't at the

:21:35.:21:38.

moment. Taking the ringfencing off the way that local authorities

:21:38.:21:43.

should spend money should go to some way to helping with that.

:21:43.:21:49.

you had those employees with those jobs, would British workers do

:21:49.:21:52.

those jobs? That is a very good question. That is the crux of the

:21:52.:21:56.

problem, really. What is the answer? I think some of them should.

:21:56.:21:59.

I think that some of the changes that we are going to make to the

:21:59.:22:04.

benefits system where making work pay will be a key part of that and

:22:04.:22:09.

it should enable some of those British workers to go back into the

:22:09.:22:12.

workforce. Derek Clarke has said it is all about British jobs for

:22:12.:22:17.

British people. What happened about that? Well, I am afraid to say some

:22:17.:22:21.

sections of British society - and it is true in Boston - have decided

:22:21.:22:24.

there are certain types of jobs that they don't want to do. I can

:22:24.:22:27.

have these peculiar conversations with groups of people who say,

:22:27.:22:31.

"When are you going to get these migrants out of our town?" When I

:22:31.:22:36.

say to them, "When you are prepared to go into the fields" and they say,

:22:36.:22:40.

"That is migrant work." It is not until we change that perception

:22:40.:22:45.

that we will change the problem. What about those people who refuse

:22:45.:22:49.

to do those jobs, should their money be cutback? That is what the

:22:49.:22:53.

proposals are. If there is one thing that's struck me since the

:22:53.:22:57.

general election, it is the number of people who have said it is the

:22:57.:23:00.

right thing that the Government is doing to change the system of

:23:00.:23:02.

benefits to make sure that work pays, which it doesn't at the

:23:02.:23:07.

moment. It is not paying at the moment? It is not always paying at

:23:07.:23:17.
:23:17.:23:17.

the moment. Very good to talk to you. Thank you. Are some British

:23:17.:23:21.

people too choosy when it comes to what work they will do? Your

:23:22.:23:31.
:23:32.:23:34.

thoughts on this one - [email protected]. There is a

:23:34.:23:38.

longer interview with Mark Simmonds tomorrow lunch time.

:23:38.:23:42.

Thanks for getting in touch with us over our story of a mother calling

:23:42.:23:44.

for higher penalties for reckless drivers. Her son, William

:23:44.:23:47.

Horncastle, was left in a coma for three days following the crash in

:23:47.:23:50.

East Yorkshire. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, is supporting moves

:23:50.:23:53.

by the Hull Labour MP, Karl Turner to increase the maximum sentence

:23:53.:23:59.

for dangerous driving from two to seven years.

:23:59.:24:03.

Bob in Grimsby texted to say, "I was injured six weeks ago because

:24:03.:24:05.

an impatient driver could not wait in single-file traffic. Careless

:24:05.:24:09.

drivers should be banned and re- tested."

:24:09.:24:13.

Virginia tweeted to say, "It's a good idea to increase sentences.

:24:13.:24:14.

Dangerous driving and careless driving costs lives."

:24:14.:24:18.

And Loren has also been a victim of careless driving. She says, "We

:24:18.:24:21.

have had to live with the scars and mental reminders of that day,

:24:21.:24:24.

knowing no action was taken against the driver who caused the

:24:24.:24:34.
:24:34.:24:36.

incident." She's the oldest woman in East

:24:36.:24:39.

Yorkshire and the 28th oldest living Briton. Today her family

:24:39.:24:41.

came to help Elizabeth Riley celebrate her 109th birthday at the

:24:41.:24:44.

care home where she lives in Hedon. And although she rarely speaks,

:24:44.:24:53.

Crispin Rolfe spoke to her sons about her milestone. This report

:24:53.:25:03.
:25:03.:25:04.

does contain some flash photography. # Happy birthday to you... #

:25:04.:25:10.

She came to this nursing home aged 90. Now it is helping Elizabeth

:25:10.:25:16.

Riley celebrate her 109th birthday. Today's a landmark for a lady now

:25:16.:25:23.

one of Britain's oldest living. Let's say if we had a Premier

:25:23.:25:28.

League, she would be in that league. And fairly well up it. She is

:25:28.:25:33.

number one in the East Riding. Number two in Yorkshire. I believe

:25:33.:25:38.

she's about 28 in Britain. Royal Party will begin their

:25:38.:25:44.

inspection... Born in 1902, Elizabeth took her sons here to the

:25:44.:25:54.

Festival of Britain in 1951. Today, it was easy to see that she enjoyed

:25:54.:26:03.

all the attention. Her sons claim that long life is in the genes.

:26:03.:26:10.

the moment, I have found 5th Generation on my grandfather's, my

:26:10.:26:18.

mother's father, on his side, going down to 1768 and that guy was 83

:26:18.:26:28.

years old. So a party - and by this time next year, Elizabeth won't

:26:28.:26:34.

just be a great-grandmother, but a great-great-grandmother.

:26:34.:26:39.

Happy birthday to Elizabeth. Let's have a recap of the headlines:

:26:39.:26:44.

After almost 170 years, the News of the World is to close, a victim of

:26:44.:26:48.

its own phone hacking scandal. The last edition will be this Sunday.

:26:48.:26:52.

The children's opera is back on in Bridlington after the writer

:26:52.:26:56.

changed one word in the script. The forecast for tomorrow - cloudy with

:26:56.:27:00.

outbreaks of rain spreading from the south.

:27:00.:27:05.

Top temperatures of around 19 Celsius.

:27:05.:27:11.

A response coming in on the story of the opera in Bridlington. "The

:27:11.:27:16.

word can't have been that offensive, it was said four times on your

:27:16.:27:22.

show." "Changing the word queer to gay goes to show how mad the PC
