:00:07. > :00:11.Thank you. Good Evening and welcome to Look North. Paid for it

:00:11. > :00:14.performance - Leeds Jail becomes the first state-run prison to be

:00:14. > :00:19.rewarded if it cuts reoffending rates.

:00:19. > :00:23.Also on Look North tonight, a blot on the landscape - or much needed

:00:23. > :00:27.jobs? Pore potash mining on the North York Moors looks more likely

:00:27. > :00:32.after a huge deposit is found there. And, would we lie to you? We catch

:00:32. > :00:37.up with the multitalented comic Rob Brydon who is in Sheffield tonight.

:00:37. > :00:41.And join me for the weather. It's been a cloudy and damp day but

:00:41. > :00:50.skies will be brighter tomorrow. The full forecast later in the

:00:50. > :00:54.prament. -- later in the programme.

:00:54. > :01:00.Good Evening. Thank you very much for joining us. First tonight, Look

:01:00. > :01:03.North can reveal that Leeds Prison, many know it, is to be the first

:01:03. > :01:07.ever state-run jail to be paid by its results. That news comes on the

:01:08. > :01:11.day that new dae that shows reoffending rates there have fallen

:01:11. > :01:16.dramatically -- data. Similar schemes have been run at privately-

:01:16. > :01:19.run prisons including Doncaster. The announcement at Leeds marks a

:01:19. > :01:23.first for the state sector. Joe is there for us tonight.

:01:23. > :01:27.Thanks, Phil. It's a problem that all Governments have struggled with.

:01:27. > :01:30.How to cut offending rates and reduce the number of people ending

:01:30. > :01:35.up in places like Leeds Prison. The Government think they have their

:01:35. > :01:39.solution. It's payment by results. Essentially, if a prison can cut

:01:39. > :01:42.reoffending, they get more money. If they can't cut it, they could

:01:42. > :01:48.lose it. We have seen a couple of examples of this in private prisons,

:01:48. > :01:52.but this is the first time it's ever come to a state prison.

:01:52. > :01:55.With its 19th century Tourettes, it doesn't exactly look like a prison

:01:55. > :01:59.of the future, but this announcement marks the start of a

:01:59. > :02:06.new era. The first time a state-run prison

:02:06. > :02:10.will be paid by its results. Government said they want to

:02:10. > :02:15.produce payment by results systems by 2015 in the whole area so this

:02:15. > :02:20.is the beginning of a journey and they show that if it can work here,

:02:20. > :02:30.it's really a very major step forward in terms of payment by

:02:30. > :02:31.

:02:31. > :02:36.results. It comes as new data shows that rates have been cut

:02:36. > :02:42.dramatically. 71% of those on short sentences reoffending and it's been

:02:42. > :02:46.cut in two years to 64%, a fall of nearly 8%.

:02:46. > :02:49.The crucial question here is how will the scheme work? In the

:02:49. > :02:52.private sector, like here at Doncaster where Look North recently

:02:52. > :02:57.filmed, it was clear, if the company that runs the prison

:02:57. > :03:00.doesn't cut reoffending, the Government cuts its funding.

:03:00. > :03:03.But will that work in the state sector?

:03:03. > :03:06.The Government's told us this scheme will work by bringing in

:03:06. > :03:11.outside help to cut reoffending. That means that, as well as taking

:03:11. > :03:16.the potential rewards, they also take the risk. But, a source inside

:03:16. > :03:21.the prison has told the BBC that they also face losing money under

:03:21. > :03:25.the scheme and since there are no profits at Leeds Prison, that means

:03:25. > :03:29.potentially less cash for running the jail. That, he said, really

:03:29. > :03:34.sharpens the mind. In many ways, this announcement

:03:34. > :03:38.provides as many questions as answers. But, the way that Leeds

:03:38. > :03:44.eventually answers them could well shape the future of many of the

:03:44. > :03:48.nation's prisons. Thank you very much. Actually,

:03:48. > :03:52.Sophie is from the Howard League, that's an organisation which

:03:52. > :03:57.campaigns for prison reform. I asked her if payment by results is

:03:57. > :03:59.a good way of preventing prisoners from reoffending once they leave

:03:59. > :04:03.prison? Well, we have major concerns about

:04:03. > :04:06.the payment by results model anyway. There's no evidence to show that it

:04:07. > :04:10.does actually lower reoffending rates, just because it's called

:04:10. > :04:13.payment by results, doesn't mean you will necessarily get them,

:04:13. > :04:16.people might not just get the results they are after and might

:04:16. > :04:20.not get paid for it. These have been piloted. We have not seen any

:04:20. > :04:23.evidence and the pilots haven't gone on long enough for us to see

:04:23. > :04:26.any results. As yet, there's no evidence that it will work and

:04:26. > :04:30.ultimately there's no evidence that it will make Leeds safer. I think

:04:30. > :04:36.the public would say that if an organisation produces people

:04:36. > :04:40.through the prison system who go on to not reoffend again, then maybe

:04:40. > :04:45.they're worth a bonus? I think it's how we look at how you judge

:04:45. > :04:49.reoffending as well. UK have a -- you can have a few people in prison

:04:49. > :04:52.who are not likely to reoffend again. As we have seen, a lot of

:04:52. > :04:56.resources are pumped into those people to make sure they don't

:04:56. > :05:00.reoffend and, actually, the people who're very Kay yacht nick the

:05:00. > :05:04.community, they've perhaps got very deep mental health problems,

:05:04. > :05:10.addiction problems and they're committing a high number of

:05:10. > :05:15.burglaries and robberies, they won't have the resources because

:05:15. > :05:19.all they do is produce a reduction in reoffending of 5%. That can be

:05:19. > :05:23.done by a small number of people who may not reoffend anyway. So you

:05:23. > :05:28.are saying they'll take resources to another group and certain groups

:05:29. > :05:33.will be left without help. I wonder, isn't Armley different to other

:05:33. > :05:37.prisons in so far as it has a lot of prisoners on remand, neither

:05:38. > :05:42.guilty or innocent? Yes, it's a local prison, meaning that people

:05:42. > :05:45.go there straight from court, it's an usual choice, in my opinion,

:05:45. > :05:48.because a lot of people are there for a few days, so it's difficult

:05:48. > :05:52.to track the outcome of the people who'd first go into Armley. So they

:05:52. > :05:56.wouldn't know if they reoffended or not? Exactly. Would they be counted

:05:56. > :06:00.is what I'm asking? That's difficult to know as well. We've

:06:01. > :06:05.seen from an independent monitoring board at Leeds Prison that they

:06:05. > :06:09.have struggled in the past with monitoring prisoners through the es

:06:09. > :06:13.state because they often go to lots of different prisons -- estate. It

:06:13. > :06:18.will be interesting to see how that works out and also how long we'll

:06:18. > :06:22.have to wait to get the results. As you can understand, people are at

:06:22. > :06:26.the beginning of their sentence if they go to Armley or may not get a

:06:26. > :06:29.custodial sentence at all. Thaufplt complicated - we'll watch

:06:29. > :06:32.this one - thank you -- thank you very much.

:06:32. > :06:37.Stkpwhroo we'll have a reaction from the Prison Officers'

:06:37. > :06:43.Association tonne late bulletin tonight at 10.25.

:06:43. > :06:48.One of the largest deposits of potash could be lying under the

:06:48. > :06:53.North York Moors. It's a potassium compound used in fertilisers. In an

:06:53. > :06:56.announcement to the Stock Exchange, the company Sirius Minerals said it

:06:56. > :07:02.discovered it at a test borehole which opens the possibility of the

:07:03. > :07:08.UK's first new potash mine for more than 40 years.

:07:08. > :07:12.This is the north-east coast in the heart of the North York Moors

:07:12. > :07:16.National Park, also the landscape immediately above one of the

:07:16. > :07:20.largest deposits of potash in the world. Test boreholes have

:07:20. > :07:23.confirmed the find, shares in Sirius, the company behind it, rose

:07:23. > :07:28.after they reported it to the Stock Exchange.

:07:28. > :07:32.But finding it is one thing, getting it is another, and concerns

:07:32. > :07:39.are already being voiced about environmental damage.

:07:39. > :07:44.There is a potash mine already in the National Park just. Bull biis

:07:44. > :07:52.actually in Cleveland. It produces more than half the potash used in

:07:52. > :07:57.fertilisers in the UK -- in bull bi. More than 800 people work here --

:07:57. > :08:02.Boulby. The borehole was sunk back in the summer and the company

:08:02. > :08:05.behind it were aware of potential sensitivities. We can have a

:08:05. > :08:08.conversation with the community about what this project will look

:08:08. > :08:12.like, where it will be and what impact it might have, positive and

:08:12. > :08:19.negative. So far, no formal planning application has been made.

:08:19. > :08:25.When it is, the age old argument of environment versus economy will no

:08:25. > :08:30.doubt rage. So just how easy is it to extract

:08:30. > :08:32.the potash without damaging the environment? Dr Bill Murphy is a

:08:32. > :08:37.geological engineer from the University of Leeds and explaind

:08:37. > :08:42.how the company could extract the potash from an area of outstanding

:08:42. > :08:44.natural beauty. What would happen is, there is likely to be a surface

:08:44. > :08:50.facility which will involve processing. There'll be access

:08:50. > :08:54.shafts sunk and then from that, there will be what's referred to as

:08:54. > :08:57.pillar mining, probably underneath the North Sea and then underneath

:08:57. > :09:00.the National Park itself. What sort of impact is it likely to

:09:00. > :09:04.have on the environment? This is a spectacular area of outstanding

:09:04. > :09:09.natural beauty isn't it, and clearly there'll be a lot of

:09:09. > :09:17.opposition? I don't doubt there'll be a lot of onisation. There will

:09:17. > :09:23.be economic benefits. -- opposition. The likely environmental impact,

:09:23. > :09:26.there's potentially a visual impact and subsidence impact but that's

:09:26. > :09:30.been fairly minimal at Boulby, so I don't think there's necessarily

:09:30. > :09:32.that kind of problem. I think the main impact in terms of the

:09:32. > :09:38.environment is going to be the visual impact.

:09:38. > :09:44.OK. What is potash and what do we use it for? Potash is actually a

:09:44. > :09:48.variety of groups of minerals. Mainly potassium chloride with

:09:48. > :09:53.varying amounts of water held into the mineral. But it's principally

:09:53. > :10:00.used as fertiliser, something like 90% of our production of potash

:10:00. > :10:04.goes into the fertiliser industry. Do you think that this is likely to

:10:04. > :10:08.to ahead? Do you think there will be planning approved at some stage?

:10:08. > :10:10.I can see that being approved some point down the line but with quite

:10:10. > :10:14.a lot of environmental impact mitigation measures involved from

:10:14. > :10:18.the mining industry. Dr Murphy, thank you.

:10:18. > :10:25.We want to hear your views on any story that you see on Look North

:10:25. > :10:34.tonight or any other night as well. Get in touch. You can tweet us or

:10:34. > :10:40.e-mail us. Also you can even ring us. Harry

:10:40. > :10:45.appreciates your tweets. He'd love to hear from you.

:10:45. > :10:49.Stay with us. Later on Look North: Hoping to recapture its former

:10:49. > :10:54.glory. It was once Europe's biggest indoor

:10:54. > :11:02.shopping centre. Now, the mayor yen in Leeds is set to get a multi-

:11:02. > :11:11.million pound face-lift. -- mayor yen. The serial child

:11:11. > :11:16.killer Robert Black who murdered ten-year-old Sarah Morley was today

:11:16. > :11:23.found guilty of another murder. He was only finally put on trial this

:11:23. > :11:28.year for the murder. This report on the case that shocked a town two

:11:28. > :11:31.decades ago. 1994 and delivery driver Robert Black is taken from

:11:31. > :11:37.court in Newcastle after being found guilty of the murders of

:11:37. > :11:43.three young girls, including Sarah Harper from Morley. Smelly Bob, as

:11:43. > :11:48.he was dubbed by other girls who escaped his notorious attacks over

:11:48. > :11:51.the years in the UK was finally in jail for life. Today, Black, one of

:11:51. > :11:55.the most notorious killers in British legal history, was found

:11:55. > :12:01.guilty of the murder here of Jennifer Cardy in Northern Ireland

:12:01. > :12:07.four years before he move pd his murderous activities to West

:12:07. > :12:11.Yorkshire. - March 26th, 1986 was a wed night when ten-year-old Sarah

:12:12. > :12:16.was sent on aner Rand to the corner shop by her mother. At the shop,

:12:16. > :12:19.she bought a loaf and two packets of crisps. She was last seen

:12:19. > :12:23.heading down a short alleyway towards her home. After that,

:12:23. > :12:27.nothing. It was to be three-and-a-half weeks

:12:27. > :12:32.before Sarah's murdered body was found. She'd been violently

:12:32. > :12:38.sexually assaulted by Black. The file on Robert Black goes back

:12:38. > :12:45.to the '60s, today another chilling chapter in the serial killer's

:12:45. > :12:50.terrible history. Police in Scarborough are asking

:12:50. > :12:52.the public for help finding a wanted man. Andrew Henry was we

:12:53. > :12:56.leased from prison earlier this year but has been recalled for

:12:56. > :13:00.breaching the terms of his release. Police are asking anyone who knows

:13:00. > :13:06.where he is to contact them. A company which owns four

:13:06. > :13:12.nightclubs in Yorkshire has gone into administration. Luminar Group

:13:12. > :13:15.holdings owned Oceana and other clubs. It recorded losses of �198

:13:15. > :13:23.million in the year to the end of February.

:13:23. > :13:27.Let's turn to sport. A bob spwaig athlete has been involved in a

:13:27. > :13:32.training accident -- bobsleigh. Fiona Robinson is being treated for

:13:32. > :13:36.a head juryry. She was the break woman for former world champion.

:13:36. > :13:45.Her condition is not shaugt to be serious, but we understand her

:13:45. > :13:48.partner may have broken her spine. Leeds United were away at

:13:48. > :13:51.Birmingham last night. You will know that the Blues took the lead

:13:51. > :13:56.during the first half if you were watching our late bulletin last

:13:56. > :14:06.night. Leeds couldn't find a reply despite this late effort. It ends

:14:06. > :14:07.

:14:07. > :14:13.their seven match unbeaten run. A bit disappointing for them. Other

:14:13. > :14:17.support es may have thought it was quite good. Once upon a time it was

:14:17. > :14:21.the biggest shopping centre in Europe, but since it opened in the

:14:21. > :14:26.1960s, the Merrien Center has been overtaken time and time again by

:14:26. > :14:34.bigger shopping developments. Did you ever go there? You had the big

:14:34. > :14:37.bowling alley and the most famous nightclub ever, Cinderella

:14:37. > :14:40.Rockerfellas. It's the student place. It used to be, but it's

:14:40. > :14:46.going to be marvellous because the owners are planning a multi-million

:14:46. > :14:50.revamp to get it swinging again. Alan Whitehouse has the story.

:14:50. > :14:53.47 years ago, this was the future of shopping. A bright new indoor

:14:53. > :14:57.street of shops where it didn't matter what the weather outside was

:14:57. > :15:01.doing, and, for three glorious weeks, it was the biggest shopping

:15:01. > :15:06.centre in Europe. The glory days may be over, but the

:15:06. > :15:12.Merrien Center still has its loyal followers. I prefer to come here,

:15:12. > :15:15.it's got Home Bargains, a couple of small shops and Morrison's. It's

:15:15. > :15:20.more convenient and this one actually has my supermarket where I

:15:20. > :15:25.get my weekly shop from. It's a compact little place really if you

:15:25. > :15:28.are looking for things that you want. You can find them here.

:15:28. > :15:34.is how it could look. The new Leeds Arena will be built across the road

:15:34. > :15:39.so the Merrien's owners are planning a revamp to tap into the

:15:39. > :15:41.extra business it will bring. Every other major city in the

:15:41. > :15:45.country has seen major shopping centre development take place in

:15:45. > :15:50.the last ten years, Leeds needs to catch up and deserves to be a top

:15:50. > :15:54.five city in the country. We are capable of that, capable of

:15:54. > :15:58.sustaining that position in the economic league.

:15:59. > :16:03.If all goes to plan, work could begin next year and it will create

:16:03. > :16:07.200 new jobs at a time when the unemployment figures make grim

:16:07. > :16:11.reading. A lot of the cash will be spent in the market area. 40 odd

:16:11. > :16:15.years ago when this opened, it was the last word in shopping with car

:16:15. > :16:20.parking, a filling station and all the shops under one roof. That was

:16:20. > :16:23.then and this is now. As you can see, parts of the old place are

:16:24. > :16:27.really getting ready for a spot of TLC.

:16:27. > :16:31.The Merrien centre may never rival the huge out of town centres that

:16:31. > :16:37.have come along since, but it seems likely that there'll always be a

:16:37. > :16:40.place for it in the hearts of Leeds shoppers.

:16:41. > :16:48.Thank you very much annal. Stay with us. Lots to come before 7.

:16:48. > :16:51.We have been talking to this man. I'm Rob Brydon, I'm going to be

:16:51. > :16:57.talking later on about my new book and my reasons for coming to

:16:57. > :17:07.Sheffield. If ever there was a time to Look North, that time is now.

:17:07. > :17:07.

:17:07. > :17:10.And the goo in the news - has space matters -- matter been found on the

:17:10. > :17:15.Pennines? Maybe we should start the programme

:17:15. > :17:19.every day like that, just look up nofrplt Divine intervention. Three

:17:19. > :17:25.pizza delivery drivers from Sheffield are about to clock up

:17:25. > :17:29.serious moped miles. They are using their two-wheeled mean machines for

:17:29. > :17:32.a 9,500 kilometre rally in north Africa for a good cause. Tom's been

:17:32. > :17:37.to meet them. They're normally quick out of the

:17:37. > :17:41.door delivering pizzas on the not so mean streets of Sheffield.

:17:41. > :17:45.But now they're taking pizza delivery mopeds somewhere they

:17:45. > :17:50.certainly can't guarantee a fresh delivery time.

:17:51. > :17:55.These mean machines have just nine horsepower each and no clutch. But

:17:55. > :18:00.over 9,500 kilometres, keeping things simple could be the key to

:18:00. > :18:05.success. Places where you can buy nuts and bolts will be few and far

:18:05. > :18:10.between so... So anything goes? are getting used to using cable

:18:10. > :18:20.ties and duck tape. At least they come with somewhere handy to keep a

:18:20. > :18:23.spanner. I saw a website with the race on it and anyone can enter.

:18:23. > :18:27.For �300, they've bought themselves a support vehicle which will be

:18:27. > :18:32.crewed by two friends. Well, it looks like it's in pretty

:18:32. > :18:38.good shape outside, but it still needs some work to be done on the

:18:38. > :18:42.inside. Could this be the weak link in the chain? The bikes are newer,

:18:42. > :18:47.so we hope they're dependible and simpler. They are easy to push out

:18:47. > :18:51.of the dirt. The proper old- fashioned Paris Dakar... They

:18:51. > :18:55.trundle off in January, once their slice of action is over, they

:18:55. > :19:00.intend to donate their WAGN to an African hospital.

:19:00. > :19:04.-- wagon to an African Hospital. For now though, time to practise

:19:04. > :19:09.ant Peak District's potholes. By the end of the trip, they want, not

:19:09. > :19:16.to deliver dough, but to raise plenty of it for charity.

:19:16. > :19:21.I bet the pizzas get a bit cold! Where would we be without cable

:19:21. > :19:25.ties and duct tape. This man is an actor, impressionist, standup

:19:25. > :19:32.comedian, TV and radio presenters and is everything b everything

:19:32. > :19:42.because he's now an author. Talking about me? No, it's that man behind

:19:42. > :19:42.

:19:42. > :19:46.us. The multitalented Rob Brydon is promoting his book. He starred in

:19:46. > :19:51.Gavin and Stacey. We'll be hearing from him in a moment, but first

:19:51. > :19:57.let's see him in action presenting Would I Lie To You?. It's not just

:19:57. > :20:04.a team game and my individual eye of the week is Joanna Paige. Let me

:20:04. > :20:11.assure you that that's not favouritism because she's Welsh.

:20:11. > :20:16.(speaks Welsh) Good night!

:20:16. > :20:20.I'm in Sheffield for the off the shelf literary festival because, by

:20:20. > :20:26.coincidence, I happen to have my autobiography out - what are the

:20:26. > :20:30.chances of that. So I'm there tonight talking about my life and

:20:31. > :20:37.hopefully making people laugh. of the viewers will know you for

:20:37. > :20:41.the role of the protective uncle Bryn in Gavin and Stacey. Did you

:20:41. > :20:45.ever think that would become the cult series it was? Not as big as

:20:45. > :20:49.it has become. I knew it was very good. I knew when I read the script

:20:49. > :20:53.and thought, these are particularly good and I knew that the cast was

:20:53. > :20:58.excellent and then when filming, we got on like a house on fire. But

:20:58. > :21:02.you never know, you know. Then when it started to go out, started to

:21:02. > :21:06.get an incling that it would be a big hit. You said to me when you

:21:06. > :21:09.started you felt you were a bit like a poor man's Keith Chegwin,

:21:09. > :21:14.that's not saying much is it? That's a bit unfaur to Keith, but

:21:14. > :21:17.no, I did the radio, then a bit of local television and I was a

:21:17. > :21:20.Roveing reporter -- unfair. That's great if you want to be a Roveing

:21:20. > :21:24.reporter, nothing wrong with that, but I wanted to do comedy and

:21:24. > :21:28.acting, so for me it was frustrating. Then, I say in the

:21:28. > :21:33.book, I went on to work on the shopping channel as a presenter,

:21:33. > :21:41.you know, then as an actor, the best I could get was, I went to

:21:41. > :21:45.Glasgow and played roles in a conference for thrush cream. Even

:21:45. > :21:47.the most optimistic glass is half full attitude, you still have to be

:21:48. > :21:53.thinking, oh, boy, this is not going well.

:21:53. > :21:56.You are well known for your impressions, Rob. I listen to the

:21:56. > :22:01.infamous now Radio Two programme when you stood in for Ken Bruce and

:22:01. > :22:05.I, like many millions of others thought, Ken Bruce is drunk, but

:22:05. > :22:13.actually it wasn't that at all? think he might be drunk a lot of

:22:13. > :22:17.the time anyway because I've listened to him and Chris Rea, the

:22:17. > :22:22.Road to Hell, sometimes it's a Scottish bear coming out of the

:22:22. > :22:27.radio. That was April Fool's day, I love that, we did a whole joke, I

:22:27. > :22:31.did the whole show as Ken, he came in at the end. Is it true you were

:22:31. > :22:35.at school with Catherine Zeta- Jones? Not just that. Eddie Izzard

:22:35. > :22:41.was at my first school the year before me, the second school

:22:41. > :22:48.Catherine was there, the third school was where I met Ruth Jones,

:22:48. > :22:53.Nesa -- Nessa, so it seems like I had a rider, there has to be a star

:22:53. > :22:58.of the future here. What is the future for Rob Brydon?

:22:58. > :23:01.Well, Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat. I don't know.

:23:01. > :23:06.I've just done a play actually, did my first play in Belfast with

:23:06. > :23:10.Kenneth Brannagh, so I would like to do maybe a bit more of that play

:23:10. > :23:14.or another bit of theatre. Loved being in the theatre so maybe more

:23:14. > :23:18.of that. Good to meet you. Thank you, lovely to meet you. Cheers.

:23:18. > :23:25.You never know when he's being serious or not actually.

:23:25. > :23:29.This is a really strange story. It's a mysterious and possibly

:23:29. > :23:36.extra terrestrial white jelly which has been discovered on Mars don

:23:36. > :23:46.Moore in West Yorkshire. -- Marsden. Yes, it was made by Rakesh Jalota

:23:46. > :23:52.and his son Ketan. But what is it? We went to find out. The aftermath

:23:52. > :23:56.of a meteor shower or maybe an unidentified fungus. Nobody knows

:23:56. > :24:00.what this is. Ketan and Rakesh discovered a pile of it at the

:24:00. > :24:04.weekend and this afternoon, they took me up to Marsden moor to seek

:24:04. > :24:09.it out. It's what ues called star gelly and it's been discovered

:24:09. > :24:18.recently in Scotland and the Lake District. Has it now arrived in

:24:18. > :24:25.Thanks for finding it again, guys. What did you think when you find

:24:25. > :24:31.this on Saturday? Just really bizarre. Caten found it, so he'd

:24:31. > :24:35.seen something on TV when he was watching with his mummy and he

:24:35. > :24:39.starts shouting, I've seen some star jelly. I didn't have a clue

:24:39. > :24:44.what he was on about. Didn't really touch it before because we didn't

:24:44. > :24:52.know what it was, then we went home and goingled it. Do you think it's

:24:52. > :24:56.come from outer space? I do. Googled it. Now that we have found

:24:56. > :25:02.this, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. Watch this. Stick the

:25:02. > :25:06.pen in. It's a bit gooey. Pull the pen out and it just reforms. It's

:25:06. > :25:10.like nothing I've ever seen before. Jelly. Disgusting. A few years ago,

:25:10. > :25:15.the BBC colleagues in Scotland took some samples to a lab to try and

:25:15. > :25:20.find out a bit more. DNA tests were inconclusive and one expert said he

:25:20. > :25:23.thought it hadn't come from a plant or animal. No real explanation's

:25:24. > :25:28.ever been found, but star gelly's always been discovered in rural

:25:29. > :25:37.locations. So, for now, and for me, I like the idea that it's landed

:25:37. > :25:42.here from outer space. This programme gets more surreal by the

:25:42. > :25:46.day doesn't it! Honestly, I need a lie down. Star

:25:46. > :25:49.jelly looks disgusting. Sorry if we put you off your tea. Let's do the

:25:49. > :25:59.put you off your tea. Let's do the weather and call it a day.

:25:59. > :26:08.

:26:08. > :26:13.Keep your photos coming in. It's been wet today but tomorrow is

:26:13. > :26:15.going to be a lot better. The mist will clear and we'll see plenty of

:26:15. > :26:19.sunshine. We won't have any weather fronts bothering us tomorrow so it

:26:19. > :26:24.will turn out to be a nice day, unlike today. The satellite picture

:26:24. > :26:28.shows all the cloud that we have had. It's been giving us some

:26:28. > :26:32.outbreaks of rain. It's clearing away eastwards, so the Pennines

:26:32. > :26:36.will soon become dry and the rest of us will dry up this evening. The

:26:36. > :26:44.cloud will break tonight. Light winds, clear spells that will allow

:26:44. > :26:54.some mist and patchy fog to form. Temperatures drop down to two or

:26:54. > :26:55.

:26:55. > :26:59.Tomorrow it will be a chilly start to the day with a touch of ground

:26:59. > :27:02.frost in places and some patches of mist and fog, particularly through

:27:02. > :27:05.the Vale of York. Any mist and fog will lift during the first part of

:27:05. > :27:08.the morning and the rest of the day will be dry and fine with a decent

:27:08. > :27:12.amount of sunshine. The sunshine stays with us as we head through

:27:12. > :27:17.the afternoon as well. The winds are going to be light, rather

:27:17. > :27:22.variable in direction, temperatures on the coast for Scarborough and

:27:22. > :27:26.Filey around 12 degrees. We could reach 13 through a few spots but

:27:26. > :27:29.closer to 11 or 12 for the Pennines. As we head through the weekend,

:27:29. > :27:34.Saturday starts off with the best of the brightness. It will cloud
