Good evening and welcome to Monday's Look North On the programme tonight, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Elsie is one of 8,000 people across Yorkshire whose personal | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
details have been passed onto scammers and some | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
She's actually sold her house in order to finance scam mail | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
and when I've been round to see her, I've been told that she is actually | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
going to her neighbours because she can't afford | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
We'll find out what is being done to help vulnerable | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
We'll find out what is being done to help vulnerable people. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
The first 60 mile an hour speed limit could be | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
introduced in Sheffield to cut down on pollution. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Stepping back in the ring, Yorkshire's double Olympic Champion | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
I'm with that man of mechanical talent, Mr James May, | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
as he joins the gang making parts to resurrect a long dead | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
A largely dry, settled week to come but there will be problems with fog | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
Join me for that week ahead forecast. | :00:57. | :01:10. | |
Well, it's when scammers sell on your personal details | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
and here in Yorkshire more than 8,000 thousand of us are on it. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and here in Yorkshire more than 8,000 of us are on it. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The National Scams Team says criminals target | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
individuals by letter, e-mail or telephone, | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
often taking money for bogus vitamin pills or for entries | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
One elderly lady who fell victim to this is Elsie Ferguson | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Elsie Ferguson and her son Paul bought bogus vitamin pills | :01:35. | :01:53. | |
from a firm claiming to be the real deal. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
But the company sold on Elsie's details, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Each envelope aimed at getting her to send more money for a chance | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
I am coming up to 83 and I'm not a well person, | :02:05. | :02:22. | |
so if it doesn't stop I would say I will get very angry | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Elsie, who wears a special hearing aid, stopped entering | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
the competitions months ago and yet she still gets the letters | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
and all because in the past she bought lamps, vitamins, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
My name's Andy Fox from North Yorkshire Trading Standards | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
and I've come here to talk to you today about scam mail. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Trading Standards say her case is typical. | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
We see a lot of this in Trading Standards | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
homes who are answering scam mail where we will go into and the a lot | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
of scam mail throughout the House and the victim is keen to answer it, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
genuinely believing they've won a prize. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Elsie learned the hard way that there is no prize. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
In my experience, whether you win or not, it makes no difference, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
The only winner is a company that gets Elsie's money and address. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
In North Yorkshire, there are 2000 names on the Suckers' List and not | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
There's another lady as well who lives in a different part | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
of North Yorkshire but we believe she has actually sold her house | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
When I've been round to see her I've been told that she's actually | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
going to her neighbours because she can't afford to feed | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
herself because all the money she has is going on answering scam mail. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Trading standards say the only advice in this situation | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
is if a letter like this looks too good to be true, it | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
One woman who knows all too well about how these scams work | :03:58. | :04:09. | |
is Marilyn Baldwin from Chesterfield who campaigned to get | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Her late mother, Jessica, was conned out of ?50,000 | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
and she set up the charity Think Jessica to protect vulnerable | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Marilyn, thank you for joining us. You have had first-hand experience | :04:19. | :04:31. | |
of this kind of fraud. Remind us about your mum's story. My mum | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
replied to a letter she thought was from a competition and then good | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
plot on a list and then she received around 30,000 letters. We heard | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
?50,000 she spent in that time. That is an estimate, we really don't | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
know. She was sending it by cheque and cash. Is enough being done to | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
help bulb or people? Ten years ago they were identifying victims who | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
are getting hundreds of letters a day. Work is being done around | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
scams. Over the last few years we have got the trading standards can | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
team and we have offices visiting people on the list but there is | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
still a long way to go. Would you say that trading standards is the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
right of this try and sort the problem or is there some way that | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
another organisation can do this? Has got to be law-enforcement and | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
trading standards working together to be more effective because the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
amount of victims now, there are hundreds of thousands of victims | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
being identified across the country and trading standards have limited | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
manpower and resources, so we need to look at the bigger picture and | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
get more manpower out. In that sense, do they mail themselves have | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
a responsibility, because they will know they are delivering so many | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
scam letters to certain individuals? Yes, Royal Mail are flagging up the | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
tin is getting large amounts of mail but by the time they have flagged | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
them up a lot of these victims have already lost their money but they | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
are groomed and they still believe that they are going to win and they | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
continue to do it. What would you like to see done? The government | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
have got to tackle this like the no smoking campaign. We need a massive | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
education campaign out there to forewarn and protect older people | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
there that everybody recognises scams. Thank you for coming in. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Next tonight, highway bosses are considering imposing the first | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
pollution-related speed limit in the country on the M1 | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
It means that if motorists travel faster than 60 miles | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
an hour in the rush hour, they could be fined. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
The restrictions would come into effect in March | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
when there are plans for a smart motorway between | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
That's when the hard shoulder of the motorway | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
But there are concerns that this measure could | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
increase pollution, especially near Sheffield. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
James Vincent joins us from near the Tinsley Viaduct. | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
So, this could be a first in Sheffield? Yes, we are getting | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
towards the end of the busiest period of the day for the MSouth | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Yorkshire but in March, the drivers above me there will have two -- will | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
be restricted to 60 miles an hour. They have spent ?100 million on this | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
motorway and they say they will come with congestion but will it help | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
with pollution? This part of Sheffield needs all the help it can | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
get. It's a strecth of motorway drivers | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
will know all too well, especially because because it's been | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
roadworks for the last The cones and signs will soon be | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
gone, but a new speed limit 120,000 vehicles use the M1 | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
through Sheffield every day. The idea would be to have a 60 mile | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
an hour speed limit at peak times between junctions 32 and 35a, | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
including over the Tinsley viaduct. This is, of course, Sheffield's | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
and Rotherham's industrial heartland and the amount of traffic on the M1 | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
adds to the air pollution. In fact, Sheffield Council thinks | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
that 500 people die early every year I'm not convinced 60 miles | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
an hour will actually work. I've not seen evidence, | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
I've not seen the calculation to show that that of itself | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
will mean that pollution levels are reduced to levels that are safe | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
for local residents living nearby. There's a brand-new | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
primary school here. It was recently moved partly because | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
of the absolution from the M1. You're going to move | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
because it's so bad? I'm 70-years-old this year, | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
I'm quite fit, I don't feel any effect from it but then again, | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
I get out quite regularly It's not just the motorway, | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Meadowhall is just off junction 34 and half a mile down the road, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
they are flat packing a new IKEA. There will be more cars | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
in this part of Sheffield. The challenge will be | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
to reduce the pollution. If the traffic is going very | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
fast but it's congested, people will break heavily | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
and you get a kind of red All the cars back up and it | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
leads to more congestion The smart motorway opens in March | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
and Sheffield could be the first place in the country to the speed | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
restrictions because of pollution. I was speaking to somebody in | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
Tinsley earlier to day he said when they were walking their dog, they | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
exactly taste the petrol and pollution in their mouth it was that | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
bad. The smart motorway opens in March and they think there will be | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
an extra 10,000 vehicles on the M1 because of that. The battle for the | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
people controlling the motorway, Highway England, will be to balance | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
people's journey times with evil's health. James Vincent, thank you. -- | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
people's health. Still on the way | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
before 7pm tonight... Why red kites now becoming a familia | :09:56. | :09:56. | |
the housing estates of Leeds. A multi-million pound public | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
investment for Yorkshire The cash is intended to boost | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
the economy and help create jobs. The deal was welcomed | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
by the region's hard pressed local authorities but they say | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
that it is a fraction of the amount that's been cut | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
from budgets in recent years. Our political editor | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Len Tingle has the story. Since last year's floods in central | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Leeds, the multi-million pound project to ensure they don't happen | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
again has been well underway. Today, Northern Powerhouse Minister | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
Andrew Percy came to see what's happening and promised more public | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
cash for a whole range of projects aimed at protecting | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
and boosting local economies, Today's announcement is ?500 billion | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
of new money across the North, more than they will be getting | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
in London, more than they will be getting | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
in any other region of England. I actually think | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
this is a good heel. A total heading our | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
way of ?129 million. This is the sort of area | :10:53. | :11:05. | |
where that money can be spent. This site just south of Leeds | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
is forecast to provide something like 9000 jobs in the end, | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
a mix of housing and industry. The government money will be spent | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
to clear the site so the commercial companies can move straight | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
in and get started. We do need more investment in | :11:19. | :11:31. | |
infrastructure. When you look at the North-South divide seven times as | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
much money is spent on London as you do in Yorkshire. And it is not just | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
building, it will also cover industrial training across the whole | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
country hundred and ?70 million extra today stop Labour said all of | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
this new funding is a fraction of what the regions have lost in | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
spending cuts. You look at the adult education budget, you know, it is | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
all right talking about hundred and ?70 million into skills but they | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
have cut more than ?1 billion to adult services. The Minister's view | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
is clear, the cuts of the past history and marks the start of | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
rebuilding the future. In other news now and a dental | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
lecturer from the University of Leeds is facing a disciplinary | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
tribunal after having A colleague of Doctor Alec High | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
lodged a complaint as she heard him having sex whilst she was trying | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
to comfort a grieving student. The General Dental Council heard | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
that a woman was spotted entering and leaving Doctor High's office | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
for over two years and he'd been warned about his conduct | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
by a senior colleague, West Yorkshire Police are looking | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
for a man who assaulted a teenage girl before approaching another | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
within the space of half an hour. A 16-year-old girl was grabbed | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
and had her hair pulled on Town Street in Horsforth | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
at about five thirty on Town Street in | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
Horsforth at about 5.30pm 15 minutes later, a 15-year-old | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
was approached on Hall Lane in Horsforth by a man | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
who asked her for a hug and then For many years red kites | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
were threatened with extinction, but now they're becoming | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
an increasingly common sight And they're even frequent visitors | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
at a housing estate in Leeds. It's partly thanks to the success | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
of a conservation scheme back in 1999 when the birds were released | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
onto the Harewood Estate. For tonight's Inside Out broadcaster | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
and naturalist Mike Dilger has been This is Seacroft, East Leeds, | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
just a couple of miles High rises and factories | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
on the skyline. I've come to meet two neighbours | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
who are lucky enough to get a closer They've had up to a dozen birds | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
at a time in the garden, There's only one on that, | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
I've got another shot on here where there's | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
about four comes down. Our cameraman Steve has | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
a hide with a clear view Out goes the fresh meat, | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
perfect for carrion eating kites, After six long, lonely hours, | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
the winter daylight is fading Eileen has been feeding the Harewood | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
kites daily for the last two years, giving them the best cuts fresh | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
from the butcher's. This may be our best chance | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
to get those elusive slow Quite a few birds are circling, | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
we just need one to come down, because that will result in the rest | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
then piling in. It's been a privilege to see these | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
huge and yet graceful And one more thing - | :14:42. | :15:03. | |
we went back to Seacroft a week later, and this time our kites | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
weren't quite so camera shy. Yorkshire's red kites, coming | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
to an urban landscape near you. Always worth watching but especially | :15:14. | :15:28. | |
the night. Naturalist of course, Mike the naturalist. Keep your | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
clothes on! Tanya's here with the sport | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
and Nicola Adams has Whole new programme coming up! Oh my | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
gosh, what is going on the night?! Not a huge surprise that she had | :15:38. | :15:55. | |
announced she has turned professional. A slight surprise who | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
she has chosen to turn professional with. There was a big press | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
conference in London, and unveiling as they say of her becoming a | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
professional and she has signed with Frank Warren, a surprise because he | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
has been critical of women boxers in the past but he said she has | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
completely changed his mind, a new era and he reckons he can make a bit | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
of money out of her. Now, she had considered going on to Tokyo and try | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
to get an historic third gold medal there and of course she backed up | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
London 2012 with the gold in Rio but she wants a new challenge. | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
There's also a lot of goals in the professional ranks | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
to achieve, becoming a World Champion, European Champion, | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
there's so many goals to achieve in the professional ranks, | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
raising the game again and just making hopefully trying to make | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
women's boxing on par with the men's. | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
When do we see her in action, do you think? The big fight for her will be | :16:56. | :17:07. | |
in Leeds, 13th of May, she will be at the arena on the Josh Warrington | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
fight so that will be buzzing. I know for a long time she had been | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
eyeing up Leeds arena and watch what Josh Warrington has done that with a | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
huge crowd there and all the atmosphere and has Rudy wanted to go | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
there and fight their front of her fans. -- and she has really wanted | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
to go there. They think she will be fighting for a world title with in a | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
year and with nickel atoms you wouldn't bet against it. I think she | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
will stick to being a pro for now. -- with nickel atoms you wouldn't | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
bet against it. Huddersfield are up to third | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
in the Championship as the Yorkshire clubs continue to jostle for places | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
in the playoffs. They jumped above Leeds who lost out | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
in the Yorkshire derby at Barnsley. For those wanting a pointer | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
as to how this match was going to go, look no further | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
than the Leeds United shirts. The visitors took the lead midway | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
through the first half, Chris Wood escaping his marker | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
to tap the ball in. But Barnsley equalised | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
at a great time, just on the stroke of half-time, | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
Tom Bradshaw heading the ball home after a nicely worked | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
move from a free kick. Two quick goals after the break put | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
Barnsley in control, Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
controlled the ball well, spun Then, another bit of class, this | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
time from captain Conor Hourihane. Could it be his last game for | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
the club with Aston Villa after him? Mike Dean awarding a penalty | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
for a clear handball, though replays shows | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
he was outside the box. Wood got his 19th of the season | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
but as the shirt said, Paul Higginbotham is doing a great | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
job at Barnsley but must be hoping not too many more of his players go | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
in this transfer window. Huddersfield were the big | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
movies this weekend, up to third in the Championship | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
and a first goal for the club He he gave them the lead | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
at home to Ipswich. Christopher Schindler | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
was in the right pace to seal a comfortable 2-0 win | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
in what their manager called In League One, it | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
was draws all-round. 2-2 for top of the table | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Sheffield United at home to Gillingham, a result that left | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
Chris Wilder seething with his team. According to one of his players, | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
he accused them of being big-time. Bradford City came from behind | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
to draw 1-1 with Millwall while Gary Cauldwell's first game | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
in charge of Chesterfield ended Doncaster march on at | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
the top of League 2. This week it was Crewe that they | :19:21. | :19:36. | |

crucially, 13 points clear Calm heads for the rest | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
of the season and a return And a bit of transfer news - | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
the deal to take striker James Hanson from Bradford City | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
to Sheffield United has gone The Huddersfield-born actor, | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
Gorden Kaye, who starred in the long-running '80s sitcom, | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
Allo Allo has died at the age of 75. Gorden appeared in all 82 episodes | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
of the show as the caf owner Rene Artois on the hugely popular | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
show set in occupied France But he always remained true | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
to his Yorkshire roots Eric Dier rare and magic per view... | :20:06. | :20:22. | |
The Yorkshire man who became known as a French man. Are you by any | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
chance thinking that I am singing in the bath because I am happy? You are | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
wrong. I am seeing in the bath because there is no lock on the | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
door. Gorden Kaye was known in homes across the country as Ren Artois, | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
the cafe owner with the rather complicated love life. Oh! In real | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
life he was proud of his Yorkshire roots. I lived in London for 22 | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
years trying to get back to Yorkshire. Allo Allo made Gorden | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
Kaye a household name in the 1980s. Ten years ago he appeared in a | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
one-off episode of the TV sitcom. Hard to believe he was once a shy, | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
rugby playing grammar school boy from Huddersfield. Today, friends | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
from the world entertainment have been paying tribute. What I loved | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
about him was his quiet self-deprecating sense of humour and | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
he was so deadpan. If you didn't know him he would swear that he was | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
a difficult character but there was something ticking behind and he was | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
great company, a sweet, gentle guy. What a loss. Gorden Kaye died in a | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
care home this morning at the age of 75. His co-star vote on Twitter this | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
afternoon that he was loved the world over. There will never be | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
another Ren Artois. Chapter 17, where shall we hide the sausage | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
discount? I was lucky enough to interview him | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
quite a few times. A great chap. Now, most of us know that James May | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
has a passion for motoring but the former Top Gear presenter | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
is also a train buff. He's now teamed up with a group | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
of enthusiasts who want to recreate It's a classic design | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
from the famous Doncaster works. Wearing a self-confessed fascination | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
for engineering on the sleeve of his best workshop sweater, | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
James May isn't afraid to get his hands grimy | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
and if the part for a steam engine you're making has a name | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
to make a schoolboy giggle, I'm making the amusingly named | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
Slacking Cock Flange. Now, the slacking pipe | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
is the bit on the foot plate which is like a high-pressure hose, | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
like a sort of jet wash, sweeping coal dust off | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
and the Cock is the tap, that's a bit like a stop, | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
and the flange is the bit that attaches the Cock to the rest | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
of the locomotive. James is making a piece | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
for a P2 locomotive. Six of these giants were built | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
in Doncaster, designed by the legendary engineer Sir Nigel | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Gresley. All were scrapped and now a team | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
of enthusiasts, including James, If this sounds familiar, | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
here's one they made earlier. Called a Tornado, this was another | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
long lost Doncaster design resurrected by years of hard work | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
and ?3 million. Having learned from Tornado, | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
the new P2 class locomotive You've got the countdown there, | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
these are the frames that support You've got the holes where the axle | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
boxes and the wheels fit and then of course the distinctive smoke box | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
with its sloping front-end. It was 1934 when the first of these | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
appears, so there won't be many people left alive who remember them | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
first time around. This one is about 20% complete now | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
so there are many thousands of small For example, like | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
Slacking Cock Flanges. I'm always amazed at how big it is, | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
at how big any locomotive is, but this one especially because it's | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
a right whopper. But the last time I was here, | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
the only thing, the only completed part was the smoke box dial, | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
which is the two hands that give it The new engine will be called Prince | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
of Wales and should be finished within five years, | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
that's assuming, of course, the Tom Ingle, BBC Look | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
North, Darlington. And I rather hope I have a job | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
tomorrow, but there we go! I think Tom may have outdone me there! I am | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
so glad we have that report at the end! Shall we have a look at two | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
pictures we had sent in, which were absolutely spectacular? | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
Look at that, spectacular. You can just see the tower there out of the | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
fog there in Halifax. Keep the pictures coming in... Pressure is | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
high, it will remain that way all week long. We will have a problem | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
with fog tonight, particularly later on becoming dense and widespread, | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
that it fully for central and eastern parts of our area. That is | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
the headline, then. Dry, cold, fog and frost. Wind developing during | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
the second-half of the week. You can see the isobars back off to the | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
south east and Thursday will be dragging up try, cold, Continental | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
air. Temperatures by might not be higher than one Celsius. The | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Atlantic winds through eventually but probably not until later in the | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
weekend. Another dry, cold week to come. An error of cloud has | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
complicated things in the last couple of hours, bringing the spot | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
of rain. That cloud will push away into the North Sea. With the light | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
winds we will see widespread fog. Particularly Europe, dense through | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
that area, the Vale of Pickering. Widespread frost and ice stop the | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
other the urban area temperatures but I think really down to minus | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
three Celsius. The sun rises in the morning at 8am. So, a real problem | :26:07. | :26:16. | |
for the commute in the morning, thick, dense fog and this fog may be | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
slow to clear across eastern parts. Top of the Pennines sticking out | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
from the word go. A glorious day here. Eventually many of us will | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
brighten up with sunny spells. You can see that fog reformatory end of | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
tomorrow afternoon leading into a fairly commute tomorrow evening. Top | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
afternoon temperatures just a light south-west wind where the fog | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
persists around one Celsius but where it clears in western parts of | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
South Yorkshire, looking at temperatures of around six Celsius. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
A little further ahead then, Wednesday the at first, that fog | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
will lift again with some sunshine in the afternoon. A bitterly cold | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
day on Thursday with quite a bit of cloud. That south-east wind from the | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
continent. Frosty start to Friday, otherwise dry and bright with | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
sunshine. Eventually the weekend turns my old. That is the forecast. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
That is it from us. I will be back at 10pm this evening. Enjoy the rest | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
of the seething and drive carefully negotiating that fog. Good night | :27:19. | :27:19. | |
from all of us here. | :27:20. | :27:25. |
