:00:04. > :00:12.Good evening, and welcome to Look North.
:00:12. > :00:18.On the programme tonight - fighting to stay in their homes...
:00:18. > :00:23.Residents living on a deserted estate are told they must move out
:00:23. > :00:28.to make way for new housing. have a right to live on your own
:00:28. > :00:37.land and live a peaceful life. Also on the programme tonight:
:00:37. > :00:44.think they're setting fire to something to attract our attention.
:00:44. > :00:49.The stranded people who set fire to their map to attract attention.
:00:49. > :00:59.This shop has had help from a TV makeover expert.
:00:59. > :01:02.These were the bright skies over Nidderdale. Is there a chance for
:01:02. > :01:06.more bright skies? I'll have the forecast later.
:01:06. > :01:09.Good evening. Tonight, the families who want to
:01:09. > :01:12.keep their homes versus the council who wants to redevelop. Only three
:01:12. > :01:15.houses are now lived in on the Gurnhill Estate in Featherstone, a
:01:16. > :01:18.once thriving mining community. The families say they'll never leave.
:01:18. > :01:20.But today Wakefield Council issued compulsory purchase orders, saying
:01:21. > :01:23.they were blocking regeneration and making the area a target for
:01:23. > :01:33.vandals. Emma Glasbey reports on the latest twist in this long
:01:33. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:38.running battle. Taking my house off me to give it
:01:38. > :01:43.to a private developer to sell it to somebodyes. It was the news they
:01:43. > :01:51.didn't want to wake up to, compulsory orders being handed out
:01:51. > :01:55.to to the three remaining homeowners on a deserted estate in
:01:55. > :01:59.Featherstone. I am devastated. They have been threatening for three
:01:59. > :02:02.years, but we're going to take it to a judicial review. The families
:02:02. > :02:06.have gradually agreed to move out, leaving their homes to be
:02:06. > :02:13.demolished. There used to be more than 170 houses here. Today they're
:02:13. > :02:16.gone, and just three are still lived in. One lady who didn't want
:02:16. > :02:21.to be identified says she's determined to stay. This is where I
:02:21. > :02:27.am going to spend the rest of my life here, but to say the council
:02:27. > :02:31.can just come and take it away from you - no way. Even if I lose, I can
:02:31. > :02:34.walk away with my head held high and say I fought for that.
:02:34. > :02:38.Wakefield Council wants there to be a brand new housing development and
:02:38. > :02:42.says it's offered generous relocation deals. The package we
:02:42. > :02:46.have put in place would enable them to buy property in the area, and
:02:46. > :02:51.we'll compensate them for the loss of the property. Most of the estate
:02:51. > :02:55.has now been demolished. We do have a developer partner who is ready to
:02:55. > :02:57.move and develop the estate, so I think there are benefits to the
:02:57. > :03:04.local economy and local people in Featherstone who want to have a
:03:04. > :03:07.home. Over the years, as houses are boarded up, many of them are set on
:03:07. > :03:10.fire. Anti-social behaviour has been a serious problem. Wakefield
:03:10. > :03:15.Council says it wants to regenerate the area.
:03:15. > :03:18.A developer has been given planning permission to build more than 230
:03:18. > :03:23.homes here. The first part of the project would be to construct a
:03:23. > :03:27.brand new road, but the homes behind me would need to go.
:03:27. > :03:31.The council doesn't want the estate to remain like this any longer, but
:03:31. > :03:38.the people who own these homes say they won't be forced out. A legal
:03:38. > :03:41.battle will almost certainly follow. Emma, thank you.
:03:41. > :03:43.So what legal rights do the families have? In the past half an
:03:43. > :03:49.hour we've spoken to their solicitor who's been explaining
:03:49. > :03:55.what will happen next. We have a period of time now to
:03:55. > :03:58.either adopt a judicial review approach or go down the public
:03:58. > :04:02.inquiry route, and the acquisition of land act. My advice to my
:04:02. > :04:06.clients has been to go down the judicial review route, so within
:04:06. > :04:12.the next three months as of this morning, we have to issue in the
:04:12. > :04:17.High Court an application for judicial review for a judge to now
:04:17. > :04:22.review the actions taken by the council that leads up to this point
:04:22. > :04:26.when the order has been made. tonight: a pair of walkers stranded
:04:26. > :04:30.after dark in the Peak District were rescued by South Yorkshire's
:04:30. > :04:35.police helicopter after they set fire to a map to attract attention.
:04:35. > :04:39.The chopper faces the axe due to Government plans to make forces
:04:39. > :04:43.share helicopters, but Mark Larden and his girlfriend say they owe
:04:43. > :04:50.their lives to it. They're just setting fire to some
:04:50. > :04:55.stuff at the moment to attract our attention. Stuck in the snow in
:04:55. > :04:59.complete darkness - two walkers stranded set fire to their map to
:04:59. > :05:02.get the attention of the police helicopter. Being stuck up there,
:05:02. > :05:06.not knowing whether you would live or die is pretty scary. It didn't
:05:07. > :05:12.hit home until I got back to the base how lucky we were to be alive.
:05:12. > :05:16.Lucky and grateful too. Today Mark met the crew who rescued him and
:05:16. > :05:21.his girlfriend. We put Lisa here and you sat opposite. I remember.
:05:21. > :05:24.It was quite difficult. Like I said, we were searching for a good 40
:05:24. > :05:29.minutes with a thermal camera before we found them. When we
:05:29. > :05:33.landed, it was quite deep snow,ed a the temperature was about minus six
:05:33. > :05:37.degrees. The crew picked them up and flew them back to their base.
:05:37. > :05:41.The incident had a happy ending. The future for the helicopter isn't
:05:41. > :05:44.so bright. The Government wants police forces to save money by
:05:44. > :05:48.sharing helicopters, and under the current plans, this chopper would
:05:48. > :05:53.go. This base would close, and South Yorkshire would share the
:05:53. > :05:56.helicopters currently based in Wakefield and in Ripley in
:05:57. > :06:01.Derbyshire, but there has been strong opposition. I think it's a
:06:01. > :06:08.disgrace. It's a vital service to South Yorkshire. They need to keep
:06:08. > :06:11.it based in South Yorkshire. If the North Midland unit had come rescue
:06:11. > :06:14.me there, there would have been a lot longer, and who knows what
:06:14. > :06:19.might have happened. The future of the helicopter is being discussed
:06:19. > :06:23.by the police authority this Friday. Mark says the experience won't
:06:23. > :06:27.deter him or his girlfriend from heading out on to the hills in
:06:27. > :06:30.future. They're planning a charity hike for this summer. Of course,
:06:30. > :06:34.that's after they have bought a new map!
:06:34. > :06:39.I love that line about buying a new map - great. Nice one, Dan!
:06:39. > :06:42.Later on Look North: The American dive team are in
:06:42. > :06:51.Sheffield. Find out how they have been making friends as well as
:06:51. > :06:53.training in the Steel City ahead of the Olympics.
:06:53. > :06:56.Nine Yorkshire MPs are calling on the Government to reduce the
:06:56. > :06:59.subsidies paid to wind farms. They say it's leading to too many
:06:59. > :07:01.applications for turbines and that local people risk being brow-beaten
:07:01. > :07:04.by developers. In North Yorkshire alone, there are currently eight
:07:04. > :07:12.planning applications for large wind farms and hundreds more for
:07:12. > :07:16.smaller individual turbines, as Cathy Killick reports.
:07:16. > :07:23.Built four years ago, the eight turbines near Harrogate were
:07:23. > :07:27.fiercely opposed by local residents, but N power won the battle and now
:07:27. > :07:31.gets an estimated �2 million a year in subsidies from the Government
:07:31. > :07:35.for developing and operating these turbines, so it's not surprising
:07:35. > :07:41.that other developers are looking to follow suit. Keder Water
:07:41. > :07:44.Services has erected a testing mast on land it owns nearby and
:07:44. > :07:50.anticipates putting in a planning application for up to two dozen
:07:50. > :07:53.turbines there. It's all a part of a plan to use wind to reduce
:07:53. > :07:58.Yorkshire's whopping �45 million annual electricity bill. The energy
:07:58. > :08:03.that's created from developments such as these will be put back into
:08:03. > :08:09.the Yorkshire water electricity to power pumping stations, treatment
:08:09. > :08:16.works and really offset the need to buy that electricity from the Grid.
:08:16. > :08:19.But opponents of wind farms are suspicious. Hello. Peter rigby and
:08:19. > :08:23.Howard Ferguson are fighting the planned wind farms. They think the
:08:23. > :08:29.subsidies are skewing the market, leading to far too many
:08:29. > :08:34.applications. Once they're in, they will enevitably plan for some more
:08:34. > :08:38.because the amount of money to be made from the subsidy is so huge.
:08:38. > :08:44.Once you let a wind farm in, others follow, and once the door is open,
:08:44. > :08:46.in they go, and they keep following it up. In North Yorkshire alone,
:08:46. > :08:51.there are currently eight application for major wind farms
:08:51. > :08:56.with varying numbers of turbine, but this doesn't include hundreds
:08:56. > :08:59.of applications for smaller individual turbines peppered across
:08:59. > :09:05.the county. Not all the planning applications will result in wind
:09:05. > :09:08.farms, but some will, and they will divide opinion. For some, they're a
:09:08. > :09:11.beneficial addition to the landscape. To others, they're an
:09:11. > :09:15.inefficient blot. But with the Government subsidising them to the
:09:15. > :09:23.tune of millions, we should all expect to see more springing up
:09:23. > :09:26.around us. Altogether, more than a hundred
:09:26. > :09:29.Conservative MPs have written to the Prime Minister urging him to
:09:29. > :09:33.cut subsidies for wind turbines. That's at a time when the
:09:33. > :09:40.Government wants renewable sources such as wind to provide 15% of the
:09:40. > :09:44.UK's energy supply by 2015. Earlier I asked the MP for Selby Nigel
:09:44. > :09:48.Adams why he's supporting this campaign. What we'd like to see is
:09:48. > :09:52.a realignment and rebalancing of where that subsidy is spent.
:09:52. > :09:56.Onshore wind we'd like to see the subsidy reduced and taxpayers money
:09:56. > :10:01.- which is effectively what the subsidy is - used on renewable
:10:01. > :10:06.technologies that actually work, for example, like biomass. Are you
:10:06. > :10:10.saying onshore wind turbines aren't effective? They aren't. Even the
:10:10. > :10:13.Government's own website says they're effective 60-70% of the
:10:13. > :10:17.time. Why have we got so many? Because they're easy to get through
:10:17. > :10:22.the planning system currently. There is a heck of a lot of money
:10:22. > :10:26.if you're a wind farm developer or a landowner that has been
:10:26. > :10:31.approached. If we cut subsidies, what are the opportunities for the
:10:32. > :10:35.companies to be able to invest in renewables? I would like to refocus
:10:36. > :10:40.the taxpayers' money into a technology that's actually
:10:40. > :10:44.effective. In my own constituency, the power station would like to
:10:44. > :10:48.convert to biomass fuel, which is a renewable technology, but you're
:10:48. > :10:53.able to control the amount of power as and when you need it, which you
:10:53. > :10:56.can't do when the wind doesn't blow, for example. We'll have to leave it
:10:56. > :11:03.there. Thank you. In other news, the Catholic Church
:11:03. > :11:09.has begun an inquiry into how a priest was allowed to be ordained
:11:09. > :11:16.despite being sacked for abusing boys. He worked at St Williams Home
:11:16. > :11:22.in Market Wheaton. He was sacked in 1965. St Williams has been involved
:11:22. > :11:26.in a long-standing investigation dating back 50 years.
:11:26. > :11:33.A former cage fighter from Huddersfield has been jailed for
:11:33. > :11:38.life for killing two men linked to a IRA gang. Thomas Hay will serve
:11:38. > :11:41.30 years for shooting down two men on a remote Cornish farm. The
:11:41. > :11:45.prosecution said he murdered the men because they were demanding he
:11:45. > :11:48.go to Brazil to bring back cocaine. A funding plan has been discussed
:11:48. > :11:54.to try to keep Sheffield's museums open for the next six months.
:11:54. > :11:58.Officials have met with the Arts Council after missing out on �4
:11:58. > :12:04.million putting 45 jobs at risk. It's hoped transitional funding
:12:04. > :12:08.could be available for Millennium, Graves Gallery and Western Park
:12:08. > :12:11.Museum while restructuring takes place.
:12:11. > :12:16.Proposals have been announced in West Yorkshire which could see the
:12:16. > :12:22.biggest shape-up in local Government in decades. Plans have
:12:22. > :12:25.been drawn up to split Kirklees into two areas and renew
:12:25. > :12:27.Calderdale's boundaries. The three authorities will be joined by a
:12:27. > :12:31.single management group. The plans are put forward by the
:12:31. > :12:35.Conservatives. They say it's meant to be better value for money, but
:12:35. > :12:43.critics say sharing services could lead to job cuts.
:12:43. > :12:50.Officials at Harrogate Council have objected to plans to build a waste
:12:50. > :12:53.incinerator near Nesborough. There were protesters outside the
:12:53. > :12:55.planning meeting. They were delighted with the decision. North
:12:55. > :12:59.Yorkshire Council will make the final decision.
:12:59. > :13:03.My family have run their own business for years, and although it
:13:03. > :13:06.can be fun, it can be very stressful. As we're about to hear,
:13:06. > :13:11.if it's underperforming, that can be a stressful time. What if the
:13:11. > :13:18.younger members of the family have very different area ideas of how
:13:18. > :13:22.the firm should operate? That's exactly the situation Leeds-based
:13:22. > :13:26.firm Ketlers found itself in, so in caste came a TV presenter to try to
:13:26. > :13:31.fix things. No-one said it would be easy. The programme son BBC Two
:13:31. > :13:41.tonight. Watchit, and here's a sneak preview. Good afternoon,
:13:41. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:49.Kettley's. When you lay like that, you'll just
:13:49. > :13:59.have him as your man serve amount! Kettley's was a traditional shop.
:13:59. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:05.It still is to this day. Madrid? nutmeg. My goodness, gracious me.
:14:05. > :14:13.The overwhelming impression is acres of baik. It just keeps on
:14:13. > :14:23.getting uglier. Honestly, you don't see shops like this anymore. It's a
:14:23. > :14:24.
:14:24. > :14:29.kind of museum piece. She's a bit harsh. So how did the makeover go?
:14:29. > :14:33.Well, Ian White's at the store now. You want to see changes? Come with
:14:33. > :14:37.me. Can you believe this was the same store that was featured on
:14:37. > :14:43.that programme. When she first walked into that store, it looked
:14:43. > :14:46.nothing like this. But wow, what a transformation. I don't want to
:14:46. > :14:50.steal Alex's thunder tonight on BBC Two, but let's talk to one of the
:14:50. > :14:53.owners. David, what a roller coaster few weeks you have had.
:14:53. > :14:57.Definitely. It has been very stressful. I don't think I would do
:14:57. > :15:00.it again. It was that bad? It was that bad, but I think it's going to
:15:00. > :15:04.be worth it. As you can see, the shop looks so much better. I was
:15:04. > :15:06.going to say, all that stress, but at the end of it, you have a
:15:06. > :15:09.fantastic-looking shop, haven't you? It looks so much better. If
:15:09. > :15:13.you watch the show tonight, you'll see the biggest transformation
:15:13. > :15:16.between the carpet and the various other things. You know, Alex
:15:16. > :15:20.certainly had a lot of things to say about the shop. Yeah. You said
:15:20. > :15:23.you were very proud particularly of the carpet. That's made such a
:15:23. > :15:27.difference, hasn't it, but tell us about some of the other little
:15:27. > :15:31.things you have perhaps changed as you have gone around. Well, the
:15:31. > :15:35.partitions, they're different and just - something simple - a bit of
:15:35. > :15:40.wallpaper on there. Again, it's all the same furniture. It's just a
:15:40. > :15:43.completely different lay-out. It's very interesting to see what type
:15:43. > :15:46.of furniture you can put with something else and make it look so
:15:46. > :15:49.much different and more appealing to the eye. There was quite a lot
:15:49. > :15:53.of emotional stuff with your dad, of course, who has been involved in
:15:53. > :15:57.the store for so long. He was reluctant for a few of the changes,
:15:57. > :16:02.wasn't he? Definitely. I can understand where he is coming from.
:16:02. > :16:06.He has been here 33 years. He was quite nervous about it, you know,
:16:06. > :16:10.especially somebody coming in telling him... Did Alex sort him
:16:10. > :16:15.out? Definitely. I don't think you can win with Alex. She's a woman
:16:15. > :16:19.not to be argued with, which reminds me of someone else back in
:16:19. > :16:22.the studio! Let me get to Harry. You're one of the salesmen and also
:16:22. > :16:27.part own the business. You have been here a long time. What do you
:16:27. > :16:30.make of it all? I think it's really good. The transformation is
:16:30. > :16:34.fantastic. It has been stressful. Yes, at times, a lot of blood,
:16:34. > :16:37.sweat and tears, but it was worth it. Do you think you were set in
:16:37. > :16:42.your ways before? I think the shop has certainly been stuck in its
:16:42. > :16:45.ways to some respect, and it needed the kick up the back side to move
:16:45. > :16:48.things on, really, yes. It looks pretty smart, I have to say. This
:16:48. > :16:51.is one of the labels. Look. They have even had big discussions and
:16:51. > :16:55.arguments what they should look like. They have completely
:16:55. > :16:59.rebranded, but this store is still selling the products it's famous
:16:59. > :17:03.for, things like the highchair. I know, David, you were telling me
:17:03. > :17:07.you managed to sell a chair that you have had for quite a long time.
:17:07. > :17:10.Yeah, I sold a chair the other day that I believe we had on the shop
:17:10. > :17:16.floor for three-and-a-half years. LAUGHTER
:17:16. > :17:21.So once that had gone home, I cracked open a bottle of bubbly and
:17:21. > :17:26.celebrated we had got rid of it. Business has picked up? Definitely,
:17:26. > :17:31.yes. The things we have taken onboard, they have worked. Very
:17:31. > :17:35.good. I wish you success. We'll see on BBC Two at 8.00pm tonight how
:17:35. > :17:39.you got on. I think I'll sit back and watch the rest of the programme.
:17:39. > :17:44.Thank you very much. Take it away. Oh, this is the life!
:17:44. > :17:49.They do look good, those chairs. If they have any old stock of those
:17:49. > :17:55.chairs, I'll have one. Before 7.00pm: still catching the
:17:55. > :18:05.eye - they took Hollywood by storm. Now the story of the Calendar Girls
:18:05. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:08.is taken on by amateur drama groups. Now, as you all know, it's a rather
:18:08. > :18:17.special day today for happy couples around Yorkshire. And Harry reckons
:18:17. > :18:19.he's got the perfect gift. Isn't that right, Harry? Absolutely.
:18:19. > :18:22.Picture the scene - it's Valentine's night. Your lady, or
:18:22. > :18:25.gent, awaits a romantic evening. You open the present, and there you
:18:25. > :18:28.have it - two tickets for Galpharm for Huddersfield Town against
:18:28. > :18:31.Sheffield United - priceless. And this is what it is all about.
:18:31. > :18:34.Forget Charlton. They are probably promoted already. But who'll get
:18:34. > :18:38.that second automatic spot? We might know a bit more after the
:18:38. > :18:41.clash of the year so far when the Blades go to the Yorkshire club. So
:18:41. > :18:49.let's hear from the managers. In a moment, Danny Wilson. But first,
:18:49. > :18:54.Lee Clark. The local derby and two teams pushing for automatic
:18:54. > :18:57.promotion, so it will be close. It will be a full hour, I would have
:18:57. > :19:01.thought. So the atmosphere will be terrific. The stadium will be
:19:01. > :19:05.rocking, what I call a proper football match. It's going to be a
:19:05. > :19:10.cracking contest. It's going to be two teams that are going into the
:19:10. > :19:15.game on good form. Both very attack-minded, so in that respect,
:19:15. > :19:18.I would expect it to have some goals in it. That's Danny Wilson.

:19:39. > :19:44.big league title tonight. They play Nottingham at the arena with the
:19:44. > :19:49.winners moving into second, but the Steelers have had a difficult time
:19:49. > :19:52.against the Panthers. This is their only victory against them in six

:20:09. > :20:13.at Retford town hall in March. He deserves it. A fantastic player.
:20:13. > :20:16.There are just 164 days to go until the Olympics and this week the USA

:20:20. > :20:22.It's the ideal preparation as they head to London next week for the
:20:23. > :20:27.World Cup event at the aquatics centre, and as Tanya's been finding

:20:31. > :20:34.Under the watchful eye of the United States diving team, some
:20:34. > :20:37.young Sheffield divers are put through their paces. This isn't a
:20:37. > :20:41.team that's just here for the water. It's always great to come to a
:20:41. > :20:45.place and actually be able to do more than just go to the pool, dive
:20:45. > :20:50.and go back to the hotel again. It has been great wandering around the
:20:50. > :20:55.city. We're excited to work with the kids here. It's good to get
:20:55. > :20:59.some of the culture of the place we visit. Over the years, he has been
:20:59. > :21:04.to Sheffield on numerous occasions to compete. For him and the team it
:21:04. > :21:07.has been an ideal team to compete. I love this place, the lighting,
:21:07. > :21:12.the people, roaming around the streets from the hotels to even
:21:12. > :21:17.meeting the Lord Mayor - she was great. This place is so welcoming.
:21:17. > :21:21.It's like home. It's like a dress rehearsal for the Olympic games. We
:21:21. > :21:24.love the venue here. We're going to the World Cup, the test event, next
:21:24. > :21:28.week. It's just perfect to come to Sheffield, get everything right,
:21:28. > :21:33.make sure there is nothing we need to improve on, then when we come
:21:33. > :21:37.back for the Olympic Games, it will be smooth running. The USA diving
:21:37. > :21:40.team will be based in Sheffield for the Olympic games. There will be
:21:40. > :21:43.more to be announced. The city spent about �1 million on the
:21:43. > :21:50.Olympics and say it's money well spent. We have done some work on
:21:50. > :21:54.this and know that Sheffield has already had at least �19 million
:21:54. > :21:58.worth of economic value from the 2012 Olympics. The pre-Games
:21:58. > :22:02.contribute heavily towards that. The economics of the city have done
:22:02. > :22:06.really well. These divers have taken Sheffield to its hearts. It
:22:06. > :22:11.seems the feeling is mutual. community is awesome. Everyone
:22:11. > :22:19.loves to see the United States here. It's neat. I wonder if they'll get
:22:19. > :22:23.a similar reception down south. How did you react, then, to giving
:22:23. > :22:28.those football tickets? I am working on the lates. Good job.
:22:28. > :22:30.Dedication to the BBC - can't wait. We have featured these ladies lots
:22:30. > :22:33.over the years. Auditions for new Calendar Girls
:22:33. > :22:36.have started around Yorkshire as hundreds of drama groups prepare to
:22:36. > :22:39.stage the play later this year. The story of the WI ladies has already
:22:39. > :22:42.been told by Hollywood and the West End. Now the amateur rights have
:22:42. > :22:45.been released for one year only. And one drama group from North
:22:45. > :22:54.Yorkshire has been chosen to hold the world amateur premier. Olivia
:22:55. > :22:59.Richwald can explain. The Calendar Girls from Yorkshire shot to world-
:23:00. > :23:03.wide fame after posing nude for charity 12 years ago. Their
:23:03. > :23:07.calendar sparked a global phenomenon. A film and West End
:23:07. > :23:12.play followed. Now dramatic amateur groups from around the world are
:23:12. > :23:16.getting ready to tell their story. The girls' local group, the
:23:16. > :23:19.Grassington Players, are preparing for the world amateur premier.
:23:19. > :23:23.nervous, apprehensive, a bit of adrenaline every time I think about
:23:23. > :23:27.it, sleepless nights already. It is a big thing. We're already selling
:23:27. > :23:32.tickets six months in advance. People are buzzing, buzzing for
:23:32. > :23:36.tickets all the time. So far almost 500 amateur groups are interested
:23:36. > :23:41.in putting on the play, and 250 of them have bought the rights. The
:23:41. > :23:45.stage version followed this very successful film. The characters and
:23:45. > :23:55.the names were fictional, but the story, so very British. It's
:23:55. > :24:02.How fitting, then, that this story is finally coming home. Act two,
:24:02. > :24:08.scene two, then - the church hall the following day, "All the girls
:24:08. > :24:14.are on tenterhooks." The WI does not do nudity. Sod them. I knew
:24:14. > :24:18.they wouldn't. But we do do charity. The story is in the deals. It all
:24:18. > :24:22.began here, so I think it should start its amateur life up here.
:24:22. > :24:26.It's right to do that. Yes, we shall watch it and watch it with
:24:26. > :24:30.great interest to see what they make of it. It will be brilliant.
:24:30. > :24:33.To date, the original Calendar Girls have raised more than �3
:24:33. > :24:37.million for leukaemia research, although none of them want to be in
:24:37. > :24:47.this cast. They will be among the audience for the opening night -
:24:47. > :24:52.
:24:52. > :24:56.the World Amateur Premier takes We'll have the cameras there, of
:24:56. > :25:00.course, strategically placed to make sure there is nothing shown.
:25:00. > :25:04.Do you think they'll actually go nude? I think that is the idea of
:25:04. > :25:08.it. But they're not getting paid - takes place in a very appropriate
:25:08. > :25:15.place. Let's have the weather, shall we? Snow around? Or is it all
:25:15. > :25:25.Colder for the weekend, but for the time being, the snow is gone, which
:25:25. > :25:34.
:25:34. > :25:39.is great news. We have photos to Keep your photos coming in.
:25:39. > :25:41.So today we have seen a fair amount of cloud. Temperatures get to 8-9
:25:41. > :25:45.Celsius through the Vale of York. Tomorrow it is going to be fairly
:25:45. > :25:49.cloudy particularly to begin with, but we will see it brightening up
:25:49. > :25:52.as we head into the afternoon. You can see on the satellite there is a
:25:52. > :25:57.weather front that is just running down the North Sea, so that's where
:25:57. > :26:00.the cloud is going to be the thickest - towards the coast. It's
:26:01. > :26:04.going to be quite a breezy start to the day. Back to today, you can see
:26:04. > :26:07.all the cloud we have had through the course of the day. It has given
:26:08. > :26:12.us the odd light shower, but for most, a dry day. That's the way we
:26:12. > :26:17.end the day, so dry, a fair bit of cloud. That is set to thicken up as
:26:17. > :26:21.we go through the night to the east of the Vale of York, it may get
:26:21. > :26:25.thick enough to give the odd spot of rain, but for most, a dry night,
:26:26. > :26:31.a few clear spells in the west. In the west, temperatures drop the
:26:31. > :26:34.lowest - maybe to 3 Celsius in the Wales, elsewhere, 4-5 Celsius. A
:26:34. > :26:40.moderate north-westerly wind will become strong and gusty for a time
:26:40. > :26:45.along the coastline. Let's look at the sun times it rises tomorrow -
:26:45. > :26:49.7.27am, setting at a quarter past 5.00pm in the afternoon. A breezy
:26:49. > :26:53.day for the afternoon tomorrow but we'll see it brightening up for
:26:53. > :26:58.western areas. We'll see sunny spells developing, whilst the cloud
:26:58. > :27:01.further east thickens in the afternoon, but in the afternoon it
:27:01. > :27:04.brightens up. We should all see sunshine for tomorrow afternoon.
:27:04. > :27:08.The gusts will ease down as we go through the day. Temperatures
:27:08. > :27:14.tomorrow are going to be above average for the time of year, so in
:27:14. > :27:17.York, double figures - 10 Celsius - that is 50 Fahrenheit, 8-9 Celsius
:27:17. > :27:21.across the Pennines and Peak District. We'll keep a fair bit of
:27:21. > :27:26.cloud through Thursday and Friday, still giving Us spots of rain at
:27:26. > :27:28.times as that band of rain sinks southwards on Friday. It's going to
:27:28. > :27:34.bring fresher air. Frost on Saturday and just 5 Celsius on
:27:34. > :27:39.Thank you very much. That's about as far as we go for this version of
