Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In tonight's headlines: Medical marvels - the cancer survivors | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
who are living proof of a remarkable clinical trial. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Think I think I just thought there isn't another option. 17 years | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
later, it never occurred to me I would still be alive. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Tall story - he was banned for standing up while driving, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
but this 6ft 7 driver claimed he was sitting down. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
How a steep hike in rural business rates could force this | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
And, Toon on film - a special report on the North East's | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
In football, a new signing for Sunderland, but the top striker | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
from their ladies team is on the move. | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
And, we look at plans for a major new sports ground | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
17 years ago, a group of patients with a rare form of blood cancer | :00:47. | :01:05. | |
They decided to take part in a clinical trial in Newcastle | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
and now many have lived to see children grow up and | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Remarkably, some are now thought to be cured - | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
something doctors never thought possible. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
The long term results of the trial have just been accepted | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
for publication and the patients have been speaking | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Time with family is something Jean Boyd never takes for granted. | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
Diagnosed with chronic myloid leukaemia 21 years ago, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
she was told she had just a few years to live. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
She was offered a place on a clinical trial in the year 2000. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
I think I just thought there isn't another option, really. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
I think, 17 years later, it never occurred to me | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
It never occurred to me I would see my family grow up. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
I thought by 50 I would be dead, so I am thrilled. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
It makes you realise that every single day you have almost been | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
You know, we could have grown up very differently. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
He could have grown up without seeing his grandmother. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
The long term results of the study, which Newcastle doctors helped | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
lead, have just been accepted for publication. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
This trial has really led to a complete change | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
This class of drugs, which are TKIs, there are now about 30 or 40 | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
being used to treat anything from lung cancer to | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
When the trial got underway in the year 2000, doctors | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
were hopeful they'd be able to extend patients' lives, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
but what they didn't foresee was that some | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Like Margaret, the very first patient on the trial. | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
I had a brother who had died, and even if he had been alive | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
and been a match, I would have been too old to have a bone | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
I would have danced with the devil to have extra time. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
I have seen seven grandchildren being born. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
I can't believe I would have lasted for 17 years, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
and that the disease would have gone. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Now the Freeman Hospital is involved in a follow-up study where, so far, | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
more than 90% of the patients have shown no evidence of relapsing | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
a year after reducing their dosage, with some coming off | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Up to half of the patients don't need to remain on the drug, | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
and therefore we are stopping the drug for patients | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
The patient loses the side effects, the NHS loses the drug bill. | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
Since the year 2000, Newcastle hospitals have been | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
involved in more than 400 cancer treatment trials, featuring more | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
than 11,000 of their patients - something doctors here | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
Without research, half the patients with this disease would have | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
died after five years, but now they have a normal life span. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
So it is painful and expensive to do research, it takes a lot of time, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
I feel lucky, very blessed to have been in Newcastle at a time | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
For the most part, on the drugs I've been on, within a few months | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
Three men from Carlisle have been banned from all football grounds | :04:23. | :04:46. | |
for their part in a brawl with stewards at a match | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
between Carlisle and Hartlepool last October. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Magistrates heard that trouble flared when Carlisle scored and fans | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Luke Hodgson, who's 18, Stephen Neaves, who's 25 | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
and Carl Swan who's 24, were banned from football | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
A 56-year-old grandfather escaped a ban, despite throwing a punch. | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
Look North has learned health managers who are closing | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Hartlepool Hospital's licensed fertility unit rejected a bid | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
from a company that's already run fertility services there. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Earlier this month, the local Clinical Commissioning Group | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
announced that licensed fertility treatment will end, meaning | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
patients will have to travel as far as Newcastle. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Managers said they couldn't find a new organisation to run | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
the service, but they'd already rejected a bid from a firm running | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Health managers wanted to close car people's fertility unit last year. | :05:35. | :05:47. | |
At an emotional meeting last summer it was saved. Now those same | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
managers say licensed fertility treatment here must end. With all | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
those twists and turns it must be hard for local patients to keep up | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
with what is happening. But the local clinical commissioning group | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
said they had a limited response from organisations that actually | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
wanted to run the fertility services here. Quality standards were not met | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
either. But we have learned that one organisation that was bidding to run | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
services here has actually been running some fertility services at | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
this hospital for several months. It was what the council had to say | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
about their concerns earlier this month. I am extremely angry. Right | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
back in October, we were contacted by some interested parties who were | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
finding it extremely difficult to get the information that they | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
required to put the bits together. We now know who that interested | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
party was. This video is from the care fertility group. They have 15 | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
clinics up and down Britain, and were already supporting services in | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Hartlepool. The local clinical commissioning group decided they did | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
not pass muster in the bidding process, which means people like | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Jodie, waiting for licensed fertility treatment for six years, | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
cannot have it in Hartlepool. The top and bottom of it is I have to | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
have fertility treatment to have children, and as the years go on and | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
the months pass on, my body clock is slowing down. The care fertility | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
group are not mincing their words either. They say: | :07:21. | :07:40. | |
It must be disappointing for everyone who was waiting to undergo | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
fertility treatment. But it is as though they have | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
already made their minds up. Well, Mark joins me | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
now from Hartlepool. So, another twist at | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
the town's fertility unit. What are the managers | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
saying tonight? The sign behind me, K outside the | :07:53. | :08:04. | |
hospital, says no emergency department, and no licensed | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
fertility services either, much to the consternation of people like | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
Jodie. The local clinical commissioning group, no comment from | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
them so far tonight, but in the past they have said the rules for | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
procurement are strict, and due process was followed in this case. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
One little footnote, I understand this whole affair will be discussed | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
at a scrutiny panel next month. Perhaps more to come. | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
Thank you. A 6ft 7 inch car dealer | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
from Newcastle has been banned from driving for 12 months | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
after pleading guilty to dangerous driving, | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
but he maintains it was all down 26-year-old Adam Elliott was accused | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
of standing up while he was driving a convertible Ford Ka | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
on the Tyne Bridge a year ago, but he insists he was | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
sitting down at the time. This incident took place | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
in January last year, when car dealer Adam Elliot | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
was on his way back from buying He had the roof down, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
and he's accused of standing up in the car while he was driving over | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
the Tyne Bridge. Although he insists | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
that he was sitting down and it was just his 6'7 stature that | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
made him look like he was standing, he took the advice of his lawyer | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
and pleaded guilty to dangerous But I was too tall for the car, | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
and that has caused a distraction Well, I was playing up to people | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
that were waving, but I would say They were waving | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
at me, I waved back. Mr Elliot has 12 previous | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
convictions of driving while disqualified, and he now has | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
to wait until next month I am worried, but I have been | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
honest and I have accepted what I have done is wrong, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
so I can only hope for the best and hope they realise | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
it was a bit of foolishness. The judge gave Mr Elliott credit, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
saying he sensibly pleaded guilty But he went on to say, | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
"It was obvious that you were showing off, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
demonstrating your height, and distracting other drivers | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
in a small open topped vehicle." Mr Elliott will be sentenced | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
the week commencing 27th February. A North Yorkshire farmers' mart | :10:16. | :10:27. | |
that's been in existence for over 100 years says it doesn't know | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
if it can survive a big hike Hawes Mart sells 100,000 sheep | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
a year, but will see its rates bill leap from ?7,500 a year | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
to ?47,000 from April. It's just one rural enterprise that | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
will be disproportionately hit by a new government revaluation | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
of premises - something that's Our Business Correspondent | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Ian Reeve reports. Sheep have been sold at this auction | :10:49. | :11:00. | |
mart in Hawes for 103 years. It has seen its business | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
rates shoot up. The revaluation means a big | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
bill is coming in April. We have been paying business rates | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
of about ?7,000, ?7,500, It means that the mart | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
is not going to be viable. The profits that we make | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
are not substantial. It is going to be touch and go | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
whether we can survive. Business rates have been | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
reset across the country. Some properties will see a fall, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
but rural enterprises are the worst hit in the first revaluation | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
for seven years. The figures are compiled by | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Whitehall's Valuation Office Agency, a London body threatening | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
the existence and jobs of an obscure Have done a survey of the marts | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
in the North of England, and most of them have received | :11:48. | :12:00. | |
an increase of around 100%, and some 200%, but nobody has had | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
a rise like ours of 600%. 100,000 sheep are sold | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
here every year, including The mart is an essential | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
part of the process I almost regard it as | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
insurance, the auction. You send things into an abattoir | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
and you are certainly not as safe, But, if the mart goes, | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
it won't only be farmers Stuart's guesthouse offers a stay | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
for mart buyers and sellers. September and October are busy | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
months anyway in Hawes, but the mart adds something to it | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
because you get farmers from all And then you get the visitors | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
who find it a huge attraction as well, so it is a big part | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
of Hawes, the market. In its defence, the Valuation Office | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Agency says it sets rateable values fairly and equally, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
but there is an appeal process. Time enough for the mart to no | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
longer be at the heart A new type of recruitment drive | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
is taking place in Cumbria to help avoid future staff shortages | :13:13. | :13:24. | |
in the NHS and emergency services. 600 schoolchildren are taking part | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
in sessions which give a taste of what it's like to work | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
for the county's most A school time lesson in saving a | :13:31. | :13:49. | |
life, which could start a passion for a future career. Cumbria's | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Ambulance Service needs new recruits. Current staff are helping | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
find them. We want to encourage young people to join us in the | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
ambience service and all the emergency services, and we want to | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
encourage people who live in Umbria to stay and work in Cumbria. We have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
some trouble keeping them here sometimes, but we encourage people | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
who live and work here and understand the area to join us. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Rural geography and career opportunities can make recruitment | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
difficult in Cumbria. Finding ways to ease those problems now and in | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
the future are crucial. Everyone always says we have got a crisis | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
right now, what will we do? Maybe if we had done something like this five | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
years ago we would be in a better situation. The ultimate aim is to | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
encourage some of our students into our health care professions. From | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
health care options to policing and social work, the feedback from | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
students so far is positive. I want to work in the police when I am | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
older, and I have learned more information about what it is like to | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
be in the police force. Very useful because I did not think about | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
paramedics until I came. Now I am debating about what I want to do | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
with my future. Quite useful, to be fair. I have got to learn quite a | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
bit of stuff that I didn't know and that will be useful in the future. I | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
want to be a midwife, and be University of Cumbria has got the | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
best course to do it in the local area. For Maddie, today has helped | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
confirm her career choice as a paramedic. I think it will be a | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
rewarding job, going home and thinking I have done something | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
worthwhile. Next week, the recruitment event heads to Carlisle, | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
with the hope of finding more pupils like Maddie to staff our services in | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
the future. A Tyneside entrepreneur | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
who launched her business empire on a ?90 budget while juggling three | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
jobs has been singled out by Forbes magazine as being one of the names | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
to watch after making the 30 under 28-year-old Alice Hall set up | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
the online fashion retailer The company now turns over | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
?9 million annually, shipping out over 4,000 products | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
a day from its Newcastle factory with plans to expand | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
to America and Australia. I just got an e-mail saying I had | :16:11. | :16:24. | |
been nominated for this 30 under 30 for Europe in retail, so I sent over | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
some figures and I was in the list. It is just absolutely overwhelming. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
An amazing surprise. I just can't believe it. | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
With Ken Loach's "I Daniel Blake" gearing up for the final lap | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
of the awards season, Tyneside can once again pride itself | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
And its popularity with film and TV crews is being celebrated | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
in a new book written by a former producer of "The Tube." | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Our arts reporter, Sharuna Sagar, has been taking a closer look | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
at what makes Newcastle a lead location. | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
It is an incredibly gritty and authentic film, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
Get Carter, one of the all-time gangster greats. | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
The feature film was shot on location in and around Newcastle. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Released in 1971, it put the city on the cinematic map. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
This is where, literally, Michael Caine's ghost walks straight | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
This is where Sting and Tommy Lee Jones walk | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
And the Tyne Bridge, that is where Mr James Bond himself, | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Daniel Craig, makes that last walk with oasis playing | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
in the background, in the epic Our Friends in the North. | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
It's a moment, the location manager will never forget. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
I was able, with police permission, to stop the traffic | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
for about two minutes on the Tyne Bridge completely. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
You must have some somewhere stashed away. | :18:04. | :18:04. | |
That pig hasn't had a penny up its backside in about ten years. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
But it was Bob and Terry who first brought a North East sensibility | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
into the nations living rooms back in 1964. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
You have to remember that the north-east was not | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
acknowledged on the screen until The Likely Lads. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
And then When the Boat Comes in, which also feature James Brolin. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Over the five decades since, the region has been used to great | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
I have worked on so many productions going back years. | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
Our Friends in the North, Billy Elliot, Catherine Cookson | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
Each one has got a different set of demands, from modern to period. | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
Newcastle and the north-east offer everything they could ever want, | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Most recently, the city's streets were used in the new Transformers | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
movie that was also filmed in Alnwick and Bamburgh. | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
From science fiction to social realism, it was also the backdrop | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
for arguably the biggest British film to come out of | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
I am just down from the Central library. | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
And, for those of you familiar with the film, you might | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
The story of a man struggling to survive in a welfare system | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
could have been set anywhere, but director Ken Loach | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Jesus Christ, who is first in this queue? | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
Do you mind if this young lass signs on first? | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
The landscape and the architecture are spectacular. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Newcastle has got some of the finest city buildings, | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
and also I have to say some of the worst. | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
What drew us was the character and the language, and this sense | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
With no film fund currently in place, the health of the region's | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
TV and film industry is down to the allure of its natural assets. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
In 2015, the region's film and TV industry generated about ?30 million | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Just imagine what we could do if we had those funds again. | :20:10. | :20:24. | |
The future lies firmly in the lap of the film gods. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
And maybe a Geordie soap or a romcom will be the answer to local | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
You mentioned last night about reports of an overseas bid | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
to buy a major stake in Middlesbrough football club. | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
Well, no official reaction from the club, but we do believe | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
it s been rejected by the chairman, Steve Gibson, who, of course, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
has been in sole charge of the club since 1994. | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
It's thought the offer is from a combined | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
The group is headed by a businessman called Chien Lee, who owns Nice | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
He previously tried, and failed, to buy Hull City. | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
It's understood the consortium has also had talks with both | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Newcastle and Sunderland, but they made an offer to buy a 50% | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
But that deal has been turned down by Steve Gibson. | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
It's thought he is keen to attract overseas investment, | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Joleon Lescott has become Sunderland's first signing | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
The defender has joined the Black Cats on a short-term contract. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
The 34-year-old, who spent three years with David Moyes at Everton, | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
has been training on Wearside for the last couple of weeks. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
He's signed a deal until the end of the season, after being | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
And it's not just the men's team which is struggling. | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
Sunderland ladies star, Beth Mead, has signed for Arsenal. | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
The England U23 striker was the top scorer in | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
She's the first high profile player to leave the club | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
since the announcement that the Lady Black Cats | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
England's northernmost town is hoping to build | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
The idea is it would serve both the local community and possibly | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
the town's football team, Berwick Rangers. | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
The Berwick Stadium Trust has found last near East Ord | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
which it wants to develop, to inspire a future generation | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Dawn Thewlis has been for a look around. | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
If you build it, they will come. The famous line from the Kevin Costner | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
film, field of dreams. This is Berwick's field of dreams, where | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
they want to create the best sporting facility for miles around. | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
In real life it is never quite as simple as that, and it is still very | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
much just a dream. We have got an option on this site, a fantastic | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
location state of the bypass, and we are working from an idea on a piece | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
of paper to make it reality. It is taking quite a long time to get to | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
this stage, so I would not be deluded enough to think it will | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
happen immediately, but already there has been a groundswell of | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
support, and all it takes is the right people to speak to each other | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
desire getting things done on the ground. The semiprofessional | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
football part of it would be that stadium there with a grassed pitch. | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Triple facilities are a big heart of the plan. The home of Berwick | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
Rangers has seen Berwick Billy Macri better days. The project is not | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
dependent on the Scottish League 2 side moving there. John is also a | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
director of the club, so how has the idea been received so far? I think a | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
cautious welcome to the idea. At the minute it is an idea. It is my job | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
as the person who is pushing this forward to put it into an idea that | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
is well thought out and costed. All we are concerned about at the moment | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
is making it a realistic option. It is about much more than football. As | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
well as artificial pitches, indoor and outdoor, that would be a | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
gymnastics hall, multisports court and a full-sized running track. We | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
spoke to guide early on in the process and he travels thousands of | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
miles each year to get a good track to train on. Everyone who will come | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
after him in the world of athletics would welcome a new track here. Now | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
the hard work begins finding financial backing and support from | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
the town county council to turn Eric's Field of dreams into reality. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
We have got another piece on Berwick club later in the week. There is a | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
big anniversary coming up. I will say no more. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Man of mystery! Now, the weather. It feels like it | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
is turning colder. It is, and it will continue to turn | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
colder over the next few days. Today, weather-wise, in Cumbria | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
things are fairly cloudy and damp, but the snowdrops are thriving on | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
it. Further east, the cloud is more broken which has led to some nice | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
sunset again. The next few days, you will notice things turning colder. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Generally dry, but the breeze will make things feel colder still as we | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
head towards the end of the working week. Overnight tonight, a lot of | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
cloud around. It will produce some patchy rain and drizzle, mostly in | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
the West. Eastern areas tending to stay dry, but enough cloud and | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
breeze to keep most cases frost free. The late-night roundabout to | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
or three Celsius, but most places will escape a frost. Any cloud | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
breaks could allow a localised touch of frost, but many of us will remain | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
frost free overnight. A cloudy start to tomorrow, but it should break up. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Most places will stay dry and we should see some decent bright spells | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
on and off through the day. It will never be unbroken blue sky, but a | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
bright picture for most of us. A top ten at of eight or nine Celsius, but | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
the wind is quite strong at times coming up from the south, and that | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
will take the edge of the numbers, making it feel colder than those | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
figures suggest. The wind will feature in the weather as we head | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
through tomorrow and into Thursday and the weekend. Lots of isobars on | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
the chart. Things start to turn a bit milder as we head towards the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
weekend. But it is complicated by thickening cloud and patchy rain | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
towards the weekend. Thursday, a raw feel to things. That south-easterly | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
wind really peddling the chapters back. A lot of cloud around at | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
times. In the East, Tebbutt is only just above freezing. Less cold in | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
the West, but still cold if you are exposed to the breeze. Friday will | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
be a dry, bright day, Tebbutt is slightly up. Dash-macro | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
temperatures. The wind eases the weekend, and daytime temperatures | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
recover. But there will also be patchy rain. We will keep you | :27:24. | :27:24. | |
updated. Friday looks like a day for a | :27:25. | :27:36. | |
bracing walk along the coast. That's it from us tonight. Goodbye. | :27:37. | :27:53. | |
You might get the impression that history is just a record | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
Very often, the line between fact and fiction | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
In this series, I'm exploring how three turning points in our history | :28:02. | :28:08. | |
have been manipulated to become our greatest historical legends. | :28:09. | :28:22. | |
I want to be entertained. Entertain me. | :28:23. | :28:25. |
