Good evening. Welcome to Look North. On the | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
programme: wanted and on the run. Police are trying to find this man | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
after two woman are stabbed in the Garforth area of Leeds. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Also tonight: 200 beds to go - one of the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
recommendations to help cure the financial problems in North | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Yorkshire's health services. And Stan Barstow, one of | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
Yorkshire's original "angry young men", passes away. It has been | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
another very warm day. These pictures were taken in South | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Yorkshire very early on. One more day of warmth. All the details | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
:00:51. | :00:53. | ||
coming up. Tonight, the face of a man on the | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
run, wanted following the stabbing of a mother and daughter. Police | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
say he's dangerous and should not be approached. The mother is very | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
seriously ill in hospital after she and her 25-year-old daughter were | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
stabbed in Garforth near Leeds this morning. Within the past hour, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
police have named the man they want to question. Our crime | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
correspondent John Cundy is at the scene now. Talk us through the | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
events of the morning. Let me set the scene. It was just after 8.00am | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
this morning when police were alerted to come here in Bar Lane in | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Garforth on 999 calls from some local neighbours. They'd seen a | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
quite horrific sight of a woman and her 25-year-old daughter staggering | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
in the path behind me where you see the cars. Blood was everywhere, and | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
they'd clearly been stabbed many times. This is how two of them | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
described the situation to me earlier today. You feel a little | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
bit - unsafe, whether it's a random person. I saw the mother and | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
daughter coming down the drive covered in blood, and the daughter | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
was screaming that, "He's stabbed us!" And the mum just gone down on | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
the floor. What more can you tell us about the man police are | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
hunting? They immediately have begun the hunt for this man who was | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
known to two of the victims. Two other properties have been guarded | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
by Garforth Police during the day. He has been named as 40-year-old | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Lesley Cunningham from Leeds. He's white, obviously, male, 6'2" of an | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
athletic build. He has an half-inch horizontal scar under his right eye. | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
Has distinctive large tattoos on both forearms featuring a Dragoon, | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
fish and panther on his left arm and a dragon and a skull on his | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
right. Police don't have a description of a vehicle, but they | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
say he's extremely dangerous and shouldn't be approached. He's also | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
known as Jevins". I can also tell you the 55-year-old woman is in a | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
serious but stable condition this evening in hospital. Her 25-year- | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
old daughter has serious injuries but they're less life threatening. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Also tonight: 200 hospital beds could close in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
North Yorkshire as the health trust faces one of the BIGGEST financial | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
challenges in the country. An independent review says the health | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
service in North Yorkshire is spending beyond its means and needs | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
to save �230 million in four years. As our health correspondent Penny | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Bustin reports, financial pressures are not helped by a growing elderly | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:55. | ||
population. Its duty attract misto retire here. That puts a strain on | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
health services already under debt by years of overspending. By 2020, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the over-65 population is predicted to increase in North Yorkshire by | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
40%, making up almost a quarter of the population. Relatively affluent | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
and informed, this age group have relatively high expectations and | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
demands of an NHS which has to cut costs. People in York and North | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Yorkshire stay longer in hospital than they need because of a | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
historic lack of investment in community services. This sort of | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
care is obviously far more expensive than that at home or by a | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
GP. Beds are going to have to close. 20% more needs to be done here with | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
the same amount of money. �230 million to be saved by 2015, but | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the claim is while beds won't be here, services and treatments will | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
still be available, just not in big buildings in York or Scarborough. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
It is the mindset that has to change. I think people have to say, | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
what's the service that I require? Would I prefer that service was | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
delivered close to my home or in my own home if that were possible? | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Then let's do that, and that's particularly a problem in North | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
Yorkshire because, for many, the distance are so great. Good morning. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
How are you? Innovations like this telemedicine scheme in Grassington | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
where technology connects patients and doctor remotely will need to be | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
used more. The number of GPs will need to be reviewed, redundant | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
buildings sold off. There will be more integration between health and | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
social care. North Yorkshire has a challenge that has to be met. More | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
significantly, the whole of the Health Service has challenge that | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
has to be met, so let's accept that. The country's economy dictates that. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Let's accept that and work out collectively how across local | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
health care, with the voluntary and private sector we provide | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
appropriate and safe care given the budget restraints we have. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Still to come: The Leeds woman taking on the | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
council after she's told she can't keep her 21 cats in her flat. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Pubs and clubs in Scarborough could close early to help cut the number | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
of alcohol-related problems in the town. More than 3,000 patients a | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
year attend Scarborough's A&E as a result of drinking too much. Now | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
police and a local MP are calling for an end to 24-hour drinking and | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
want this to be used as a pilot for licensing laws across Britain. | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
:06:32. | :06:38. | ||
Danny Carpenter reports. It calls itself "the first resort", and | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Scarborough prides itself on being forward thinking, but now they're | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
looking back to when time at the bar was 11.00pm, and nightclubs | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
closed at 2.00pm. Paul Murray owns Vivaz and chairs the Pub Watch | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
scheme. Nightclubs used to open at 10.00. Pubs used to close at 11.00 | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
and close at 2.00am. People think, we'll take more money. They only | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
have so much to spend. Now it's just getting later and later. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
day drinking was introduced in 2005, partly to help the licence trade, | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
but it's led to fears about binge drinking and street crime and cheap | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
alcohol from supermarkets means people drink at home before going | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
out. We're basically trying to turn the clock back not to the 1960s, | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
but just five years so we can actually get people out in the pubs | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
earlier in the evenings rather than drinking cheap supermarket booze | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
they have bought. At the moment, often they'll arrive at the pubs at | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
11.00pm already tanked up. What they're saying is far from helping | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
the town's night-time economy, late licensing is hurting them. Pubs and | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
clubs, take-aways and taxis are all working longer hours for less money. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
At the town's hospital the effect is being felt during the day. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
still see peax on Friday and Saturday nights. We still see | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
alcohol-related tendencies at all times of the day and night all | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
through the week. That obviously stretchs the resources and puts the | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
additional pressure on our staffing throughout those times. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Scarborough they're trying to introduce a voluntary code, a | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
shorter drinking day, but they accept it will only work if | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
everybody signs up, and the Government tackles the supermarkets. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Danny, thank you. More news from around Yorkshire now. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
And detectives are asking people who regularly use the towpath of | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
the Leeds-Liverpool canal for help after a man was found unconscious | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
in the water. The 51-year-old was cycling on the path in Kirkstall on | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
Saturday night. He was later found in the water and taken to hospital | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
where he is in a critical condition. Police say they want to trace his | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
bike which is still missing despite an underwater search. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Council bosses in Derbyshire have agreed to look at cutting the | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
numbers of gritting trucks and drivers across the county. Last | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
year roads were blocked by snow for up to two weeks despite over �5 | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
million being spent on gritting. This year's budget is �1 million | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
less. Individual payments of �200 will be given to farmers and local | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
businesses who grit roads on behalf of the council. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
There won't be a big wheel behind the Art Gallery in York. The plans | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
have been scrapped after delays and objections from local residents. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
It's been decided there'll be a landscape garden and arts space | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:39. | ||
instead. This is an interesting one. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
A committed Christian who won the right to display a cross in his | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
work van has been suspended from his job in Wakefield. Colin | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Atkinson was originally threatened with the sack unless he removed the | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
symbol. But after a public outcry his employers had a re-think. That | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
was back in April. But now Colin says his employers, Wakefield and | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
District Housing, have failed to honour the agreement. Charlotte | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
Leeming's been following the story. Electriction Colin Atkinson makes | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
no mistake of his religion at home or work. Last year his bosses at | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Wakefield and District Housing objected to the cross in his van in | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
case he offended somebody. He thought he was going to lose his | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
job, but after a public outcry, the threat of disciplinary action was | :10:28. | :10:37. | |
dropped. Christianity to me is 24/7. It's not any faith, I would hope, | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
you keep in a cupboard. I can only point out the worldwide reaction in | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
this county and country we have had massive support. But once the media | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
attention died down, and he returned to work, he says his | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
working conditions changed, and he no longer had the use of a van. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
When the BBC contacted Wakefield and District Housing today, he told | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
us they didn't want to comment. Mr Atkinson says he believes his | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
employers were unhappy he had spoken out about his situation. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
way they threatened me with disciplinary action since June last | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
year when it were actually a grievance I put in against the | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
company is nothing short of scandalous, really, and I've got a | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
right under law and just the human rights to speak reasonably and | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
truthfully to people about it. Colin is keen to get back to work, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
but he's also determined to stand up for his faith, even if it costs | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
him his livelihood. Thank you very much, Charlotte. You | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
know, it's here. We have been talking about it. We have admitted | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
sometimes we don't even understand it, but Yorkshire's digital | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
switchover starts tonight in Scarborough. We have the final | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
details. Other parts of the region will begin to switch over in the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
next few days. It's going to be done in two stages. It sounds | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
complicated to me, but Harry says it's not. I am turned on and | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
switched on about this, and another time stable - in Scarborough, admit | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
need tonight, BBC Two will be switched over on the Oliver's Mount | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
transmitter. The rest of the channels will then switch in a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
fortnight's time. BBC Two will go digital next week this Chesterfield | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
and Sheffield. The rest of the channels will then follow on August | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
the 24th, and Emley Moor, which serves most of Yorkshire, will | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
start to go digital on September 7. We'll be fully digital on September | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
21. Some parts of North Yorkshire switch on the same dates, though | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the Billsdale transmitter is next year. Again, you'll need to retune | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
there twice there too. How do we retune? Here is a quick lesson. | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
So after years of waiting, digital switch-over has finally arrived in | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Yorkshire, but what do you need to do? If you live in Scarborough, pay | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
attention because you're going to be part of broadcasting history | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
overnight. I've got to get learning what to do. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Hi, Callum. Nice to meet you. You going to explain how this works, | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
then? Here is my teacher for the day, | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
digital TV expert Callum Wood. How easy is the? All you need are | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
the menu button, directional arrows and the OK button to tell the TV | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
what you're doing and why. How does it work? Right. First of all, menu | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
button. So we're pressing that going into the settings. That | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
brings up all the different men use on the TV. We need to do a full | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
factory reset so it adds the new higher-powered channels. You're | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
clearing the memory? Clearing the memory altogether. You're not | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
adding more things. You're clearing it completely and refreshing it for | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
the high-powered channels. That'll then start to retune. All the TV is | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
doing is searching for the channels. You don't need to do anything about | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
it. It does it all itself. You make it look very easy. I was taking it | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
in there, and it didn't look that complicated. It's very easy to be | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
honest. All you need to do is follow the on-screen instructions. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
Don't be frightened of breaking it because you can't. Let it do its | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
thing. It's as simple as that if I can do it, you can. But if you're | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
still unsure, there is plenty of help available. One slight problem | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
- before I am allowed to leave here, I have about a hundred TV sets to | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
retune! He's going to be there until 9.00pm | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
tonight. He has 120 channels. What will | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
people in Scarborough notice when they wake up tomorrow about TV? | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
There are two things - anybody who is still an analogue viewer will | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
lose BBC Two at the moment because that'll be switched off. It's to | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
free up space to start the new high-powered digital services. | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
Anybody who is already watching Freeview, top-up TV, the existing | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
terrestrial services through an aerial, they need to retune because | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
the pre-switchover services there at the moment will be switched off | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
and the new BBCs services started. I don't know quite what I am | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
watching at the moment. I know I have all of those things you have | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
mentioned but does it seem silly if I say I am not sure? That's what a | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
lot of people say to us. They have a fair idea what to do but they're | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
not sure. That's why they get in touch with us. We'll happily tell | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
them on an interview basis... all about profile set-up? It's | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
about going to the men issue, pressing the menu button and | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
following the instructions on the screen. Every TV is different. They | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
don't say the same thing but it's the same basic idea. Why will | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
viewers need to retune again in a couple of weeks' time? It's helping | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
analogue viewers because it would be possible... You would have no | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
telly. You would have no telly. That's hardly fair on people who | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
might be struggling to get it back. Do it in two stages - switch off | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
BBC Two. If you have a problem getting it back, you have a | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
fortnight where you can still watch BBC One, ITV and Channel 4. You | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
have time to get something done about it. We shall watch with | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
interest. You're watching Look North on BBC | :16:18. | :16:27. | |

Before 7.00pm: The Bantons and the Millers - the | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
football season gets under way this weekend and we'll have the first of | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
our previews looking at League Two. We'll be looking a back at the work | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
of Stan Barstow and the films which made him famous. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
We're known as a nation of pet lovers - but is one woman in Leeds | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
taking it too far? Jackie Silcox has 21 cats in her small one | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
bedroom flat. The council says that's unfair to the animals and | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
she needs to get rid of them. But she says she's providing a service | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
by looking after strays that would otherwise end up roaming the | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:31. | ||
streets. Spencer Stokes has been to Come on! Cats in every corner, | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
climbing over furniture, work tops and window sils. This is Jackie's | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
flat, a flat she shares with 21 feline friends, many are strays | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
she's brought in. She believes she's saving cats from a miserable | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
life stuck outside. I am doing my bit for the community. When I bring | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
them in, we get them neutered, so they can't have kittens. We try and | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
find homes for them, but it's touch and go sometimes whether we can | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
find homes, and there's still cats out there waiting to come in. | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Angel? The numbers are growing all the | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
time, with local cats coming to be fed. But now Leeds City Council who | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
own the flat have said enough is enough, telling Jackie she has to | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
find new homes for 19 of her 21 cats. I am very angry because at | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
the end of the day, we're saving the council hundreds of pounds a | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
year taking these cats in. Where would they be if it weren't for | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
people like me? Out on the streets causing mayhem. There is no way I | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
am going to part with these cats. If I have to, I'll live on the | :18:40. | :18:50. | |
:18:50. | :19:01. | ||
Jackie disagrees, arguing her cats are happy, clean and safe. They | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
don't fight at all. They get on really well. They're very relaxed. | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
I think they're happy. She has a week to comply with the | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
council's two-cats-maximum rule. She says she'll continue to ignore | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
Thank you. We're at that point of the season where the seasons | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
collide in sport. Yes. There's lots of people | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
shouting, goody - we have both cricket and football. We're quite | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
glad it is. There is the Rugby Union internationals and the Rugby | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
League is in there. You don't know where to look, | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
frankly, but the cricket - Tim was fantastic. I think he's inspired | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Yorkshire, because there is a big, big game for them. I know you have | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
been following it on Twitter. Absolutely. | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Yorkshire's season reaching the business end can only mean one | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
thing - the new football league season must be just around the | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:05. | ||
corner! Yorkshire 318 for 3 at the close. | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Yorkshire season reaching the business end can only mean one | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
thing - the new Football League season is around the corner. It all | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
gets underway on Saturday, so between now and the end of this | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
week we'll be having a look at all of our clubs. Tonight, it's the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
turn of League Two - Bradford City and Rotherham United. | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
# Here we go # Here we go # | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Nothing less than promotion, which is what the chairman wants for the | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
club for when the new ground is officially opened and available. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Rotherham United fans won't be the only ones saying that this week, | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
but the Millers have good reason to raise their ambitions. In League 2, | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
they count as a raise case of a debt-free club, and though still | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
excited at Sheffield's Don Valley, they're moving back to Rotherham | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
and a fancy new stadium next year. In the short term, things couldn't | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
be simpler. First and foremost, we want to get promoted. That's the | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
goal. The goal is to win the league. If we can do that play attractive | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
football, then that's the ideal scenario. The still fairly new | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
manager has inherited that age-old problem - having to wonder how long | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
they'll be keeping their striker for. To be perfectly fair with you, | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
I don't think it would be such a great loss as people make it out to | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
be. Rotherham fans will see an old friend in opposition next season up | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
:21:47. | :21:47. | ||
the road, Guy Branston, but did they win the old warrior about | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
City's pink away strip? I think football is getting a lot softer, | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
so wearing pink, so what? I never thought I would see Peter Jackson | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
wearing pink. What do you think? Neither did he. No longer | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
unnervingly referred to as interim manager or by financial worries, a | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
remarkable stability seems to have set in in League 2. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
And for the next two nights we'll be concentrating on the prospects | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
for our League One clubs, starting tomorrow with Chesterfield and | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
Huddersfield Town. But how much does being an avid football fan | :22:29. | :22:38. | |
cost you? The BBC sport website has been looking at the price of | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
tickets and refreshments. Rotherham fans are the winners. They're one | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
of the cheapest days out in the country. Their cheapest tickets | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
cost just �10. A programme is �2.50, a pie also �2.50 and a cup of tea | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
�1.30 - adding up to �16.30. Bradford city are the most | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
expensive in the division. Their cheapest ticket costs �20, a | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
programme is �3, a pie is �2.90 and a cup of tea will set you back | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
�1.90 - a grand total of �27.80. BUT the club points out that most | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
of their supporters have season tickets - which are some of the | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
cheapest in the country. They work out at under �8 a game. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
Because the pies are �2.90 that's why he's not been at all. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
Cheltenham, I think it was, came out with the most expensive pies, | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
something like �6. They don't do many take-away salads? Seems a pie | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
and a cup of tea. He was one of the angry young men | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
of the 1960s.the gritty northern writers who brought real life drama | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
to the screens in post war britain. Today the world of film and | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
literature is paying tribute to author Stan Barstow, who's died | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :23:52. | ||
aged 83. Born in Horbury, his best known novel was A Kind of Loving, | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
which was turned into a film with Alan Bates - and became a set text | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
in schools. Alan Whitehouse looks back at his career. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Stan Barstow would have been the first to admit he was an unlikely | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
candidate to become a successful writer. Born a coal miner's son, | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
the family was said to have few writers and precious few readers. | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
His landmark novel a Kind of Loving was published in 1960. A film | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
adaptation followed. I'll see you in the park same place. I thought | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
you didn't care for me anymore. the time, working-class fiction was | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
riding the crest of a wave. Novels and films celebrating life at the | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
kitchen sink and on the factory floor were appearing almost monthly. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
While many of his contemporaries moved to London, Stan Barstow would | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
not, preferring familiar surroundings. You. Stepped out and | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
walked along, and you met people you knew, people who would look out | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
for you, perhaps the old cliche, you didn't lock your door when you | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
went out, and there was always somebody there who knew who you | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
were. It become a bit repressive because everybody knew everybody | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
else's business. But being based in the north didn't prevent one | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
success following another. A Raging Khan was also adapted for TV as was | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
another. A string of novels followed. He wasn't a grand | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
literary figure. He was a very down-to-earth bloke. He was a | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
normal chap and a very, very nice man too. Stan Barstow was still | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
writing almost to his death, and a collection of short stories will be | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
published later next year. Alan, thank you. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
They said he changed the face of books and screen. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
He did. The weather is good. Will it last? | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
I don't think it will. 21C today. 27C at Rob inhood Airport. Let's | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
have a look at the pictures that have come in. Robinhood Airport - | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
isn't that one of your favourite... Doncaster has the warmest weather | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
in the country, as they'll tell us. Let's have a look at the pictures | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
as they have come in. That's a heavy shower that hit the, Is | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:22. | ||
At this stage yesterday, many places have been dry. Tomorrow, | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
it's sunny spells, very warm and humid in southern and eastern areas, | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
an ongoing risk of thunder. Thursday, this weather system will | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
bring showers and longer spells of rain up from the south-west, so one | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
more day of warmth to come. Now, on the satellite picture, you can see | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
the clumpy cloud. We have had one thunderstorm that's tracked very | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
close to York in the last hour or two, so there are some thundery | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
showers around, but I think most places should be dry through this | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
evening, then overnight it's dry with clear spells, uncomfortable | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
for sleeping, with lowest temperatures down to 15C. That's 59 | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
Fahrenheit. The sunrises in the morning at 5.24pm, setting at 9.00. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Those are your high water times. In the morning, it should be fine, | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
some sunny spells around. One or two showers from the word go. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Tomorrow, temperatures rise. There is a risk of a few thunderstorms | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
breaking out - mostly across central and eastern areas. Further | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
west, a good deal of dry weather. Even these will be hit and miss. | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
Let's have a look at the top temperatures. Rotherham, 25C. The | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Pennines, 22C. So again, a cooler feel, though still warm for the | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
time of year here. Further east, 25C, the high, possibly 26C. That's | :27:36. | :27:40. |
