Welcome to the programme from Look North. Unfit to practise. A | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
Scarborough surgeon who botched two operations, leaving one patient | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
dead, is suspended for a year. Also on the programme, against Law Lords. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
The incredible recovery of a Doncaster soldier, Ben Parkinson. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
No one thought he would ever walk or talk again. Head up, proud, | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
better. Shoulders back. That is it, good. And immortalised in wax, | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
Jessica Ennis seals her fame at Madam Tussauds. Skies were cloudy | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
and how has earlier today, but there has been sunshine around. | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:57. | ||
Join me for all the details later I am in Otley, head of a public | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
meeting to discuss planned care home closures in Leeds. A surgeon | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
from Scarborough has been suspended after being found guilty of | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
dishonesty and misconduct. Naif El- Barghouti lied at an inquest at the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
patient who bled to death after surgery. Today, Mr El-Barghouti was | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
told his fitness to practise was impaired. It means he will not be | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
able to do so, practice as a doctor, for a year. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Surgeon Naif El-Barghouti, who practised at Scarborough Hospital, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
was found guilty of misconduct by a disciplinary panel at the GMC and | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
suspended for a year. It follows the death of grandfather Wilfred | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Taylor from Scarborough, and the serious injury of a health worker, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Jo Roche, from Bridlington. She went to Scarborough hospital for | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
routine thyroid gland removal, but was left needing a complete | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
tracheostomy allowing her to breathe, after Mr El-Barghouti | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
severely damaged nerves klinkit to her vocal cords. It has affected | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
everything, the clothes I wear, the activities they can do with my | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
children. I was hoping to work full-time. I can no longer do that. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
I am too tired. Mr Taylor died after agreeing to surgery to deal | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
with an aneurysm in his leg. He ended up having three operations in | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
one day. The first was to remove the aneurysm, but Mr El-Barghouti | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
cut off the blood supply to Mr Taylor's other leg. A second | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
operation got the blood flow going, but a swab was left inside the leg. | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
The third operation, to remove the swap, said that Mr Taylor's main | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
Baines and he bled to death. To me, boils down to left and right. He | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
was to be operated on his left side and he tied the right side. What I | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
wanted to know was how could that happen? It beggars belief that you | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
can do that. You hear of these things but you never think it is | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
going to happen to a member of your family, or yourself. At the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
subsequent into -- inquest into Mr Taylor's death, the side chip -- | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
the surgeon lied under oath. The disciplinary panel said that | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
damaged the medical profession's reputation. It is three serious | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
separate incidents that the GMC have been looking into it. We're | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
not talking about minor incidents, but Major, life-changing things | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
that have happened to these people. It is concerning, particularly | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
bearing in mind how senior researcher involved this. Mr El- | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Barghouti now faces an uncertain professional future. After a year's | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
suspension, his return to surgery will be difficult. | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
In the past few minutes we have received a statement. It is from | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
the Scarborough and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust. It says, we | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
acknowledge the outcome of this hearing and must now take the time | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
to consider the consequences of the GMC's decision and the action we | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
need to take as an organisation. It is a story of incredible courage. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Ben Parkinson is thought to be the most seriously injured British | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
servicemen have are to survive his wounds. Another Doncaster | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
paratrooper is proving the doctors wrong again, by walking up prime -- | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
by walking upright. Ben lost both his legs and suffered permanent | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
brain damage after an explosion in Afghanistan. He has been showing | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Look North the astonishing progress he has made. Emma Glasbey has this | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
exclusive report. Head up, proud, better. Shoulders, back. Good. | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
Doctors said this would be impossible. But Ben Parkinson was | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
determined to walk again. It is almost five years since he received | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
devastating injuries in Afghanistan. His speech was badly affected, but | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
it is improving all the time. How does it feel to be up right, | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:11. | ||
walking again? I feel confident and a real man. Ben is unprecedented | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
with his injuries. He was not meant to get this far now there is no | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
barriers in his way. He will just keep going and one day we will get | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
him walking properly. That is it! One, two. He is thought to be the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
most seriously injured British serviceman to survive his wont. | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Keep going! He lost both legs after an explosion in Afghanistan and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
suffered brain damage. Almost every part of his body was injured. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
you dare give in on me! Come on, push yourself! Ben was a fighter | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
and his strength is staggering. He works out at this gym in Doncaster | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
every day. My legs, head back, recovery best. I am so proud forced | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
-- so proud. He brings a tear to my guide. Ben is focusing on charity | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
missions. Next month he will be kayaking in Norway. He is planning | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
a bobsleigh run was so British Olympic team in Germany. He is | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
having intensive physiotherapy. And his physiotherapist says his | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
progress is quite remarkable. is something called a Glasgow coma | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
score, which if you happen to be below a scorer of five, you don't | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
make much recovery. Ben was three, so most of the surgeons that were | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
dealing with him thought he would never make consciousness, let alone | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
this. There is something about Ben that just keeps going. Come on! | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
describes this as pure pain but it is a pain he knows his worth | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
enduring. And relax! Ben was determined to keep battling the | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
odds. Brilliant, Ben. Gosh, it is very rare that I am | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
lost for words but every time we meet that young man, the progress | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
is remarkable. Ben, brilliant. Later in the programme. Rallying | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
around, the Yorkshire pals making a perilous journey to Outer Mongolia | :07:14. | :07:24. | |
in a most unsuitable vehicle. A councillor in Leeds is tonight | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
urging the local authority to put the brakes on its plan to close six | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
care homes. The public consultation is now drawing to a close and | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
families in the City are getting increasingly worried about the fate | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
of them elderly loved ones. A public meeting is taking place in | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Otley tonight, to discuss the future of one of the six homes | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
threatened with closure. Danni Hewson is there for us. Feelings | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
are running very high, aren't they? Yes, that is right. You can tell | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
how high feelings are running by the number of people who have | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
already turned up, now before the public meeting is due to start. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
They are here in support of Spring Gardens in Otley, a care home where | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
many of their loved ones have been for a number of years. Some of them | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
in their nineties, many are worried about what will happen if they have | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
to move. This consultation has been a long running consultation. It has | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
been going on since after the local elections in May. It is looking at | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
six care homes. I went to one of them, in Morley, today. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Their scores but many youngsters to shame. Residents even have a | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
winning bowling team. But those friendly battles are on hold while | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
they grapple with a bigger issue. This home is one of six council-run | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
homes which is facing closure and these residents are not taking that | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
:08:49. | :08:51. | ||
lying down. Well, I feel I want to stop here and, you see, if they | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
split us up, well, we are not going to be with each other again. | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
Another one down! Well, I don't want to move. It is like home. The | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
people are nice and the carers are nice. There has been an extensive | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
campaign to push the council to change its mind about closing the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Home's doors. Hundreds of people have signed a petition in support, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and it is that strength of feeling that has led one Labour councillor | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
to question his own party's proposals. It is an excellent home. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
It has been assessed by the care quality commission as an excellent | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
home, one of only two homes in Leeds to have that rating and we | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
believe it is part of our community and we need to save it. Of course | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
and all manner is only one of six homes being considered. If all six | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
close, that is 194 beds loft -- lost and residents will move to | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
private facilities. At what cost? At the moment, the maximum charge | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
for a private home are being quoted between 612 and �800 a week. It is | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
a false economy to be closing these homes. It there are concerns about | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
whether the private sector can take up the slack and whether their | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
prices will remain competitive. We do need to think about | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
reconsidering our position at this particular point. The dictionary | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
definition of consultation is discussion before decisions are | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
made. This consultation ends on 5th August. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
We were supposed to be joined by Sandie Keene, the director of adult | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
social care in Leeds. Unfortunately she has been held up in traffic | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
tonight. We will speak to her on her hour late news at 10pm. Leeds | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
council do say it is down to budget constraints. They have been | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
squeezed, and �90 million shortfall this time. People are just living | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
longer, so they are having to take a good long look at care provision. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
I'm joined by Elaine Stevens, from friends of Spring Gardens. Why are | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
you so passionate about trying to keep this care home open? Because | :11:06. | :11:14. | |
it is the only one in the area and it is so foreign to Leeds. A lot of | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
us have other elderly relatives that we take to visit and you can't | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
get them into Leeds. Plus the fact it is a home from home for our | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
loved ones. Most of them were born in Otley. Most of them have lived | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
in Otley all their lives and we feel it is cruel to take them away | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
from the town that they have lived in all their lives and put them | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
somewhere they don't know. Now of course budget requirements, it is | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
being squeezed, they need to find extra money and a lot of work needs | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
to be done at Spring Gardens. Surely you must understand whether | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
cancer is coming from? Yes, but the council have neglected Spring | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Gardens for a number of years. They don't spend a lot of money in Otley | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
at all. We pay our council taxes and we get very little back. Spring | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Gardens has been neglected for a number of years. If they would have | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
spent the money and invested in it, it would not be in the status in | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
now. OK, we will have a number of representatives from Leeds City | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Council, who will come to the meeting tonight. They will talk to | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
relatives and residents here, putting them I Betty's and talking | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
about how that consultation process, which is due to end on August 5th, | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
is going -- putting their minds at ease. | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
We will have the latest at 10:25pm. Three women have died following a | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
car crash which happened close to Harewood in Leeds last night. A car | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
and a lorry collided, killing the driver and and 85-year-old | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
passenger. And 84-year-old woman is now also died as a result of her | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
injuries. West Yorkshire Police have asked | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
the Police Complaints Commission to examine methods they used in a | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
murder investigation 15 years ago, after strong put it -- criticisms | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
by judges of the Supreme Court. It relates to the attack on brothers | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Joe and Bert Smales in Wakefield, in which Joe was murdered. The | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Supreme Court has upheld a man's conviction for murder but police | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
are under fire for paying them main prosecution witness and taking him | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
to Brussels as a reward. The former Barnsley MP Eric Illsley, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
who was jailed in February, for expenses fraud, claimed the second | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
highest amount by MPs in the past year. Mr Illsley received �150,000, | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
including �40,000 in winding up costs. He has now been released | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
from prison and is serving his sentence on home detention. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Plans for a multi-million-pound redevelopment of Chesterfield town | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
centre have been unveiled. The Northern Gateway scheme will | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
involve removing the 'doughnut' roundabout and multi-storey car | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
parks at Holywell Cross, and attracting more quality shops to | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
the town by 2014. Striking journalists in South | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Yorkshire produced their newspaper a week into their dispute. South | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
Yorkshire Times staff on a picket line handed out copies of their own | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
newsletter -- newsletter. The strike is over planned job cuts. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
The strikers say it is different to A 44-year-old convicted killer from | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the Irish Republic has been jailed 22 years after an attack which led | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
to the death of a man in Leeds. Oliver Coleman, who'd been | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
extradited from the Republic last year, has been given a six-year | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
sentence. But under old legislation, Coleman | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
could only be charged with grievous bodily harm. That's despite the | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
fact that the man died following the attack in Armley. John Cundy | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
:14:46. | :14:46. | ||
explains. Parts of the district of Armley | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
looked quite a different place in 1989, when a fatal attack took | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
place in a drunken brawl in a terraced streets. It has taken | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
until now to bring Oliver Coleman to court for the brutal assault. 22 | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
years ago, there was a fight here in Armley in which a man was so | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
severely beaten, he never regained consciousness, and died from his | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
injuries 16 months later in hospital. The man was stabbed and | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
kicked out across his head and chest at least 20 times by Oliver | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
Colman, who finally has been brought to justice. After the | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
attack in 1989, and the death of the victim the following year, | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
Oliver Coleman fled. He was traced to the Republic of Ireland in 1990 | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
that. His extradition was ordered, but in 2003, he was jailed for 12 | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
years for shooting dead a man in the republic. He was released last | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
year and brought back to Leeds. The law back in 1980 than was different. | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
If someone died more than one year and one day after being attacked, | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
nobody could be charged with murder. That meant that after all these | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
years, although Coleman could only be charged with causing grievous | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
bodily harm, which he admitted. The law has since been changed. The | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
victim's wife was in court today to see Coleman jailed for six years. | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
Do you think six years was long enough? To family have endured a | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
terrible time during that period. I hope today will bring them some | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
comfort. Nothing will avert overcome the loss. The attack so | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
many years ago was described as vicious and sustained it is a | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
helpless victim. Before seven o'clock: | :16:44. | :16:47. | |

The Mongol Rally is described as the greatest adventure on Earth. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
It's a drive from the UK to Asia, via some of the worst roads in the | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
world, and the participants have to make the trip in an unsuitable | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
vehicle. Last year, one of the participants | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
died in a road accident. This year there are several teams from | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
Yorkshire taking part, and one of them is risking more than most, as | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Olivia Richwald reports. Omeed is 19 and a self-taught | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
:17:45. | :17:49. | ||
mechanic. He lives in North Yorkshire but next week is on his | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
way to Mongolia, in this. A nine- year-old British ambulance with | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
220,000 miles on the clock. It was bought on eBay and collected in | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Norfolk. On Saturday it starts the Mongol Rally. That's 10,000 miles | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
through 19 countries. Will the ambulance make it? That really | :18:03. | :18:12. | |
depends on Omeed. Engine wires, maintenance, looking after it, it's | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
down to me. It's all on my head. answered a plea in the local paper | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
and when other team members realised he was always under the | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
realised he was always under the realised he was always under the | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
bonnet, he was in. Omeed is half- Iranian and they have to drive | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
through Iran. You have to do national service in Iran if you're | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
of a certain age. I could be held there and forced to join the Army. | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
That is a bit of a worry. How long do you do national service for in | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
Iran? A meagre three years. I'm not up for that. I will be running if | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
we break down in Iran. They are raising money for charity. If the | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
ambulance survives, it will be donated to a Mongolian hospital. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
In cricket and returning hero Jacques Rudolph had his thunder | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
stolen at Headingley today. The South African went into bat after | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
:19:21. | :19:22. | ||
Yorkshire bowled Lancashire out for 328. His appearance was warmly | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
greeted by the Headingley crowd and there were no signs of jetlag as he | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
started his innings. But unfortunately, it didn't last long | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
as he was caught out after scoring just 12. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
That was part of an early Yorkshire collapse but Ritchie Pyrah came to | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
the rescue. The all-rounder scored his maiden championship century | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
before the Tykes were all out for 239. | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
:19:51. | :19:55. | ||
Lancashire finished the day on 33 for 3. | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
The Yorkshire diver Jack Laugher has earned his team a place in next | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
year's Olympic Games after reaching a world championship final earlier | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
today. The 16-year-old from Ripon reached the final of the men's | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
three-metre springboard competition at the World Championships in | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Shanghai. His 11th place finish means he's secured the diving team | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
a spot in the London games with a year to go. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Now it has to be the ultimate proof of celebrity status and Sheffield | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
heptathlete, Jessica Ennis, has just achieved it. She got to rub | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
shoulders with the likes of Brad Pitt and David Beckham, as her | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
waxwork model was unveiled at Madame Tussauds. Neil Smallburn | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:50. | ||
went along. This report contains flash photography. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
These pictures must have struck fear into the hearts of her | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
competitors. There's two of her. it is incredible. This is her new | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
:21:12. | :21:14. | ||
waxwork. She joins a glittering array of stars. This is one of the | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
most exposed bodies we have in the attraction. It takes time when it | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
is moulded. Every little centimetre of that has to be perfect with a | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
nice texture. It does take a lot longer, a figure like this. 45 | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
longer, a figure like this. 45 longer, a figure like this. 45 | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
weeks just to do the hair. Inserted one by one into the wax. When I got | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
an e-mail asking me to come down and be measured, it was a great | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
surprise. I feel honoured. She has made her mark in this corner of the | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
capital and hopefully in one year, she will do exactly the same at the | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
Olympic Stadium. That would be amazing! I am going to keep on | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
training. I am sure she was talking without | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
moving her lips. That one is brilliant. | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
This year is certainly Bronte Year. Two new films and a brand new play | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
by Yorkshire's very own Northern Broadsides about the three women | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
who wrote books that shocked and thrilled a nation. Yes, especially | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
when they discovered the authors were women! I've been along to | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
Haworth today to find out about plans for the autumn production. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
They were sisters, the three most famous literary sisters in the | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
world, and the reason a million visitors a year December and Haward | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
to pay homage at the Parsonage where they lived and wrote. Who | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
wear these three women who defied their humble surroundings to write | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
so passionately of a world outside? Now, a new play, We Are Three | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
Sisters, aims to answer that question? Who where Charlotte, | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Emily and Anne? The were not passive victims of terrible | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
suffering. There was spirit to them. If you read Charlotte's letters, | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
there was humour as well. I want to get some of that across in a | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
vibrant way. I feel I know Charlotte better through her | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
letters. Emily is a mystery, an image -- an enigma. She was at the | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
time. I would like to get her here and ask her questions about her | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
life. She is so highly strung and emotionally charged. She is so | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
intense. She is about to burst, but she does not. She just right and | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
right and right. But's where Wuthering Heights came from. There | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
is gloom, but it is transcended by the Brighton as of the script. You | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
will not see the passage on the stage. This set is all made up of | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
gravestones. You can imagine the wind coming over the top of them. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
There is a sense of nature, of geography, which is in their novels, | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
but it is not a part of their personalities that Blake has picked | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
out to put in this. Such is the interesting anything about the | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Bronte sisters, but at the read- through today in Haworth, it was | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
packed to the rafters. I predict a sell-out, when We Are Three Sisters | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
opens in September. I remember wondering what would | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
become of us, if you would survive. Now look at you. | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
A Emily did not make it back! I was so into that. -- I nearly did not | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
like it back. It starts in September and there is a nationwide | :25:00. | :25:09. | |
:25:10. | :25:10. | ||
It is so lovely to see you. You have only been in the building | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
half-an-hour. There is no need! | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Look at this picture from Scarborough. Blue skies and clouds | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
returned. It was very nice at Castle Howard as well. Showing a | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
bit of blue sky and warmth in the sunshine. Thank you for those. It | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
is near Castle Howard, apparently. If you have any more pictures, send | :25:43. | :25:53. | |

Let's look at that rooftop camera. It is a lovely day. It is very | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
pleasant indeed. Apart from the odd shower to the south, most places | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
are dry. There is more cloud across the Pennines, but most of us look | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
set to have a fine evening. Tamara, partly cloudy with sunny spells. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
There will be a few showers, but quite a few paces could stay dry. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
The breeze is still in the north. It will never be too warm, but | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
pleasant nonetheless. You can see that big gap in the cloud that has | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
developed this afternoon. It is fine and bright with a lot of | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
sunshine, especially across central and eastern areas. Lowest | :26:39. | :26:47. | |
temperatures, down to nine Celsius. The sun will rise of 5:04am, | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
setting at 9:20pm. Most of us should get off to a bright start | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
with some sunshine. At times, skies will cloud over. There will be a | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
few showers around, but it looks as though they should be the exception | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
to the rule. Quite a few paces should stay dry tomorrow. -- quite | :27:07. | :27:15. | |
a few places should stay dry tomorrow. The average is 20, 21. 19 | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
in Rotherham, 18 in Thirsk. Would be just 15 or 16 Celsius. The | :27:23. | :27:32. |
