the windscreen first thing in the morning. That is all from us. Now, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on BBC Good evening. Welcome to North West | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top story: A | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
victim of deliberate and sustained domestic abuse. Today, Linzi | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Ashton's ex`partner admits her murder. Prosecutors say they were | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
determined to bring Michael Cope to justice. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
Also tonight: The Bank of Salford, an idea to help people who are | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
skint. Can it really be delivered by a council which is skint? I have | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
said my goodbyes and made my peace, I won't pretend I am not afraid but | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
I am ready. As the Street says goodbye to Hayley | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
we talk to the Merseyside widow who welcomes the controversial | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
storyline. I suppose they think, you know, what | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
would I do if I was as ill as that? Would I want the choice of being | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
able to say enough is enough now? Would you mind telling me how long | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
you have believed yourself to be a God? | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
And, the Hollywood film stars who could be helping the North West | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
writers head for glory at the Oscars. | :01:13. | :01:25. | |
The police had always considered him their prime suspect and today | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Michael Cope finally admitted he had killed his former girlfriend, Linzi | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Ashton. Linzi was strangled at her home in Salford last summer. Cope | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
went on the run after the killing and evaded capture for several | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
weeks. He initially denied doing her any harm but then changed his mind | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
on the very day he was due to stand trial. Our chief reporter Dave Guest | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
was in court as Cope made his about`turn. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
This is Linzi Ashton, in the words of her family, a loving and doting | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
mum. And this is Michael Coal, the man who now `` Cope, the man who | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
admits he killed her. They had been a couple but the relationship was | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
marred by Cope's violence towards Linzi. The Independent Police | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Complaints Commission has been investigating how the force dealt | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
with her. This is where Linzi lived and died, her home in the Winton | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
area of Salford. Her battered body was found here last June. She had | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
been strangled. Cope was soon cited as the prime suspect. He went on the | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
run and the police appealed for the public's help in finding him. They | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
issued this footage of Cope buying provisions. When he was caught he | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
denied harming Linzi, pleading not guilty to assaulting her, raping her | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
and murdering her. He was due to stand trial at Manchester Crown | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Court today. Then changed his mind at the 11th hour. Today, the charges | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
were put to Michael Cope again. Three charges that he assaulted | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Linzi Ashton causing her actual bodily harm. On two occasions he was | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
said to have attempted to strangle her. To all three charges Cope | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
pleaded guilty. Then the fourth charge, that he murdered Linzi in | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
June of last year. Again, a guilty plea. Members of Linzi's family and | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
friends were in the public gallery to hear Cope finally admit his | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
guilt. The rape charge will lie on the file. The CPS said Linzi had | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
suffered terribly at the hands of Cope. We have been determined to | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
bring Michael Cope to justice for the horrific way in which he treated | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Linzi Ashton and we have worked tirelessly to build a strong case | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
against him. Linzi's mum told me this afternoon the family would be | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
making a statement once Cope is sentenced tomorrow morning. | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
The Mayor of Salford says he wants to tackle the scourge of payday | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
lenders and loan sharks. He wants to set up the Bank of Salford. A high | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
street bank with a difference. But is it a noble idea by a council to | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
help hard`up people or an idea unlikely to get off the ground, from | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
a hard`up council. Here's our business correspondent Jayne | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
McCubbin. Salford precinct, a mix of pound, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
gaming arcades, pay day loan companies, charity shops, all you | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
need to see to know Salford is skint. In the Heart Foundation Shop | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
they know how tight money is. Sometimes you feel as though there | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
is only one way, I have been that close. I know how it feels and it's | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
not right. All these shops that are open opening are ripping people off. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
You are like a hamster in a wheel, you can't get out of it. For the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
mayor of Salford these lenders are a scourge, one he would like to stop | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
along with loan sharks. He wants to create an alternative, the Bank of | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Salford. Exactly the same as a high street bank, but without the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
shareholders. We will try to make the best use of the interest that we | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
get on that money for the benefit of the people of Salford so they don't | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
have to look for loan sharks or pay day loans. It's admirable for the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
council to want to help people who are skint. But the council is skint | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
itself, in the last four years they've lost almost ?100 million, in | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
the next four years they're going to lose another ?90 million. Is this | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
wise? If they're there to help and are going to help people I am for | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
all it. I would like to think it would work, just to help people out | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
who have nowhere else to turn. I want to open a tiny bank... It won't | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
be easy, as others have already found out. That might be straight to | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
jail... The Bank of Dave was set up in Burnley. David will be advising | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
as the council attempts to set up the Bank of Salford. One other | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
organisation they're taking advice from, the Co`Op Bank. Jane is here. | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
It's not easy to set up a bank. Councils like Salford are feeling | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the squeeze of public spending cuts, is it likely to happen? They've felt | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
the squeeze but they're not broke. They've still a net budget of ?234 | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
million a year. They say if this is going through their own bank they | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
get to decide what they do with the interest. A big gamble with public | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
money at the end of the day, it's public money and belongs to the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
people. I said there was no shareholders but I suppose the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
people would be the shareholders. The British Bankers' Association | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
said they like this idea, the public I spoke to liked the idea. I spoke | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
to a Professor at university, he had two concerns. Councils should stick | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
to council business and the other is there are already models doing | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
different things out there and people don't do anything with them | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
because of inertia. They don't like to try anything new. I asked the | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
mayor if he was playing with public money, if he could be seen as a soft | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
touch by people with a poor credit rating, he said absolutely not. They | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
still have all the checks and balances of a normal bank. We still | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
have to charge interest that reflected the risk of clients but | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
they wouldn't have to charge interest that recouped massive | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
profits and that's the difference. Who knows if it will get off the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
ground. If it does it's going to be a long way off. I am sure you will | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
follow with it interest. Of course. Thank you very much. | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
An alleged victim of sexual assault in the trial of the Coronation | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Street actor William Roache has told the court she has no reason in the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
world to lie. Under cross`examination, the witness | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
agreed that she sometimes got details about times and dates wrong, | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
but maintained she was telling the truth. The 81`year`old from Wilmslow | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
denies sexual offences against five girls in the 1960s. | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
The trial began today of a maths teacher on the Isle of Man who's | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
charged with rape. Davoud Tajinijad from Douglas is also charged with | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
ten counts of indecent assault. The alleged offences took place between | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
October 2011 and February 2013. The 58`year`old denies all charges. | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
A date has been set for the Wythenshawe and Sale East | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
by`election. It follows the death of 60`year`old Paul Goggins ` the | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Labour MP who died earlier this month after collapsing while out | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
running with his son. The vote will be held on 13th February. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
The two teenagers who made international headlines when they | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
disappeared from a Lancashire boarding school and jetted off for a | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Caribbean holiday have been found safe and well. 16`year`olds Edward | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Bunyan and Indira Gainiyeva left Stonyhurst College near Clitheroe | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
last week, leading to a police search on both sides of the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Atlantic. The college head said today's news was a tremendous relief | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
to their parents and teachers. Naomi Cornwell is at the school now. Where | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
exactly have the teenagers been during this time? Well, certainly a | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
long way from here. When they left here in the early hours of last | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Monday it was to get a taxi to Manchester Airport and then a series | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
of flights that took them to the Dominican Republic. It was there | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
they were found in a hotel last night. The hotel they were staying | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
at was a five`star all`inclusive resort that would have set them back | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
around ?350 a night. Hardly pocket money but these are Stonyhursh | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
pupils we are talking about. Many pupils are from wealthy families and | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
many would have the means to do this if he wanted to. It's tremendous | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
they're safe and well. That they're in the care of police and one of the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
parents and our reaction is we are delighted. All we wanted is for them | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
to be found and safe and that's the case, so brilliant. When are they | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
coming back and what's going to happen to them when they do? Well, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
they're still out there at the moment with their families. It's not | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
clear yet when they will be leaving the Dominican Republic. Lancashire | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
Police say when they arrive back in this country they will be giving the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
pair a welfare debrief. You can be sure their parents will be giving | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
them more than a debrief. One mother has already travelled to the | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Dominican Republic from the family home. Edward's mother lives in | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
Spain, it gives you an idea of how much of an international affair this | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
has been. As for the school, it says it's leaving it up to the parents, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
for now, before it finally will decide on exactly how to deal with | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
them. Thank you very much. | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
One of the most talked about storylines on TV reaches its climax | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
tonight when Hayley Cropper takes her own life in ITV's Coronation | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Street. The character's suicide, in Street. The character's suicide, in | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
the face of inoperable cancer, has sparked a huge amount of debate | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
about terminal illness and the right to die. Today, the widow of a | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Merseyside man, who committed assisted`suicide, has welcomed the | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
debate the programme has inspired. Reg Crew had motor neurone disease | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
and flew to Switzerland to take his own life. Andy Gill reports. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
I know I asked to stay with me. But if you feel you can't, I understand. | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
I am not leaving you. Hayley Cropper and her on screen husband Roy | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
preparing for tonight's farewells. ITV say Hayley's death is not an | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
assisted suicide. Reg Crew from Liverpool flew to the Swiss clinic | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
Dignitas to be helped to die. Motor neurone disease meant he was | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
incapable of ending his own life. Today, on the 11th anniversary of | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
his death, his widow told me it's his death, his widow told me it's | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
right for programmes like Coronation Street to set out the issues for | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
people who otherwise might not think about them. They watch that and | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
then, I suppose, they think, well, you know, what would I do if I was | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
as ill as that? Would I want the choice of being able to say enough | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
is enough now? One campaign group has deep reservations about TV | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
portrayals of suicide. Pain relief can control cancer pain in the vast | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
majority of cases. And effective pain relief in good hands does not | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
cause confusion. The danger is that you fuel concerns that people have | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
about the dying process and end up inadvertently steering people | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
towards suicide as a solution. The programme`makers say they don't | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
glamourise things. It's very balanced. The weeks to come we see | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
the defence stating effects on Roy `` devastating effects on Roy about | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Hayley's decision was. Win Crew says she hopes the programme will help | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
get the law changed so assisted suicide becomes legal in this | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
country. We are going to move to the issue of | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
energy next. We might be using less energy in our homes these days but | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
the price we pay for it is going up. Some people across our region are | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
trying to reduce their bills by becoming more self`sufficient. John | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Leonard from Saddleworth has installed a wind turbine in his | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
garden. Our reporter Jacey Normand's been to meet him. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Obviously lowering your energy usage will really reduce your electricity | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
bill but you can take it one stage further and start generating your | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
own power. It's very windy here today. It's not too noisy. We can | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
hear each other. The helicopter noise that you can hear is the sound | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
of the air pressure of the Blades going past. John lives in | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Saddleworth, one of the with windiest parts of our region and he | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
is putting the local elements to good use with his wind turbine. I | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
wanted to know what motivated him to build it. It was mostly green | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
reasons. I liked the idea and it was after various disasters and you | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
think there's got to be a better way. The turbine cost ?50,000 to | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
install. With a fair wind he can expect to recover that investment | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
within seven years. More importantly, he will make a | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
substantial reduction to energy bills. I see it as part of my | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
pension so we can afford to live in the house that we like and afford to | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
heat it because energy is going to keep costing more and it's nice to | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
generate a little bit of your own and you feel you are putting | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
something back, as well. And you can see other people who are | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
trying to lower their energy costs on Inside Out North West this | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
evening at 7. 30pm on BBC1. I shall be watching that with interest! Most | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
people just not putting the heating on! The weather later. Richard is | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
here with the sport. Mounting problems over the weekend | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
for two of our championship sides. Yes. | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
Blackpool and Bolton. Wanderers are just four points above the | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
relegation zone after what their manager, as you'll hear in a moment, | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
described as an embarrassing 7` defeat to Reading. But Blackpool's | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
problems really came to a head. Supporters reacted angrily after | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
their latest defeat and there were reports over the weekend that | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
manager Paul Ince had been sacked. He hasn't, but with the tug`of`war | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
over his son's future, star forward Tom, an unsettling backdrop, as well | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
as a lack of signings in the window, some fans are wondering what next? | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Blackpool's problems are far from small. Despite a terrible run of | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
form Paul Ince remains unruffled and determined not to walk away. After | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
this loss at Barnsley seft them eight points off the relegation `` | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
left them eight points off the relegation zone. He is going to turn | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
it around, he will have to get some players. I think they should have a | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
change. Sorry to say that. After such a good start. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
The 9th defeat in the last ten matches under Paul Ince, led to | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
crisis talks with his chairman over the weekend. But ended with him | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
remaining as manager. There's no doubt his position as manager | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
remains precarious, a situation mirrored here at Bolton Wanderers, a | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
club with different but no less significant problems to solve. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
For them it's two wins in the last ten league matches. The latest, a | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
far from magnificent seven. A 7`1 malling at Reading. Very | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
disappointed, embarrassed for the club, embarrassed for the fans that | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
travelled down. We have to make sure we double our efforts. Get in the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
morning and make sure we face it in the best possible way and move | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
forward. It's the bank balance as much as the points balance that s | :16:33. | :16:33. | |
much as the points balance that's been talked about of late. The club | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
says because almost all its 163 million debt is owed to the owner it | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
isn't a major problem but some supporters remain unconvinced about | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
the club's health on the pitch and off it. Three years ago we were up | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
in the Premier League beating teams like Liverpool. Now we are getting | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
beat 7`1 off Reading, it's embarrassing. Two famous old clubs | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
who hope this latest troubled chapter in their histories is about | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
to change for the better. Let's hope things do improve. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Manchester City put four past Cardiff on Saturday. Edin Dzeko's | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
Cardiff on Saturday. Edin Dzeko s goal was the club's 100th in all | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
competition this season. No other club in modern times has reached a | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
century so quickly. And with the balance of power seemingly shifting | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
between the two Manchester clubs, City could yet break a record set by | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
United in 1957 for the most goals scored in a season. Stuart Flinders | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
reports. Manchester City's 100th of the | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
season! Four goals on Saturday. But incredibly that's City's average at | :17:41. | :17:50. | |
home nowadays. 103 goals in 34 matches, it's a record. Another 40 | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
and City will have scored more goals than any other team in a single | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
season since the 1950s. That record was set by Manchester United. | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
They're in big trouble, the champions, they're 3`0 down. Night's | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
defeat yesterday underlines the shift in the balance of power from | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
Old Trafford to the Ethiad. I don't think Manchester United are on the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
way down, they're having a transitional period. City, can they | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
get better? I think they can. I think the foundations are there. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
It's not going to be short`term and I am pleased. I always have a smile | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
on my face lately watching this team play. Rarely has it been a better | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
time to be a City fan. They're improving all the time and | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
we are seeing it. We are getting artists now, when you look out | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
there. The players are artists. It's quite true that, yeah. They're more | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
ballet dancers than footballers in a sense when you look at them. Some of | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
the best football we have seen. We have been coming a long time and | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
this is the best football we have seen. | :19:05. | :19:19. | |
The goals keep coming! Can't stop scoring, can they? | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
Tonight, Everton could move into the top four ` at the expense of | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
Liverpool ` with a win at West Brom. Everton have only lost twice in the | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
league this season, but they've had eight draws and that concerns the | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
manager. Some of those should have been three | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
points, should have been victories and that's where the work is based | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
now, to get those draws and victories. When you get to that | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
position in the league, nine games to go, you are looking at where you | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
are and you can settle for the aims in the final game of the season. | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
in the final game of the season There's full match commentary on | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
Radio Merseyside from 7.00pm. British bobsleigh reserve pilot ` | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
Lamin Deen from Manchester ` produced the drive of his career to | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
secure Team GB a second four`man berth at the Winter Olympics in | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
Sochi. The main crew had already qualified, so at the World Cup event | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
in Austria they switched sleds to help the reserve team's chances | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Lamin Deen ` who's only been driving the bobsleigh for four years ` said | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
he was overwhelmed. Every year I have found it easier to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
take to the sled from the summer to the winter and the coaches go more | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
indepth and they say it takes ten years to be a great driver, but with | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
the team we have got, you know, we are taking shortcuts. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Fascinating. He came from Moss Side, a tough upbringing and left that | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
behind, went to the Army because he is such a good athlete, became a | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Bobsleigh pilot and has been doing it a few years. Should mention that | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
Nathan Hinds has signed for Sale Sharks, the experienced Scottish | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
international. Thank you very much. The eyes of the film world will be | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
on Los Angeles in a few weeks' time for the 86th Academy Awards ` better | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
known as The Oscars. And a film made here in the North West will be among | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
the contenders. The Voorman Problem is nominated for the Best Short | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
Film. It was written by Mark Gill and Baldwin Lee ` they also directed | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
and produced the film. We'll be chatting to them in a moment. First, | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
let's have a look at a short clip. The film's about a psychiatrist | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
brought into a prison to assess the sanity of one of the inmates who | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
believes he's a god. Tom Hollander is the prisoner ` Martin Freeman the | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
doctor. Would you mind telling me how long | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
you have believed yourself to be a God? I may ask you the same | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
question. You have some big names in there, | :21:51. | :22:02. | |
how did you for your first short film secure Martin Freeman? What we | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
did is we just believed in our script 100%. We sat down and came up | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
with a list of people and Kevin Spacey was on the list, wrote a | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
letter. We were surprised when he got in touch and suggested Tom | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Hollander and Tom helped us get Martin. I guess that for a story | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
about this of this kind where it's an interaction with two people | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
everything hangs on the script. Absolutely. It's a testament to the | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
writing, thankfully. It's not only us who wrote it. We based it on a | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
short exert from a novel by David Mitchell who some people will know | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
for Cloud Atlas. We had a great basis and did our best to refine the | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
script for a period of eight, ten months before we let anyone see it. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Thankfully people agreed with us. You have been nominated for an | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Oscar, what did that feel like to get that news? I have heard it | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
described as fan`tabulous, a good word. We were emotional to be | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
honest. It's nerve`racking, the whole process. It's cruel to let | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
people know they're shortlisted It's possibly one of the most | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
nervous periods of my life ever. It's possibly one of the most | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
nervous periods of my life ever. The pressure was immense. Strangely I | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
couldn't stop shaking once we heard. Everyone in your house was watching | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
to see the nominations but you knew they didn't come out on your TV. I | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
did research, I sat at the back and kept refreshing and refreshing. You | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
were looking on a computer. They were watching the telecast and he | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
was pacing around like a lunatic! I just saw it, I had to move the page | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
slightly and saw it, and turned the computer round and they went mad, I | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
was calm! I bet. The night itself will be a huge occasion. Can you | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
even imagine what it's going to be like? Even to be nominated must be | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the most exciting thing let alone to win. We were lucky to go to the | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
BAFTAs last year, nominated there. Black tie or tux? I am going to wear | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
everything all at once. If you win, would you bring the statue in and | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
talk to us? Of course. Danny Boyle spoke to us after he won. You are In | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Good Company. You have to do that. Thank you for coming in. You must be | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
very busy. Thank you. I know someone who will be extremely | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
jealous in a minute, but before we get to the weather: Liverpool has | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
come third in the Rough Guide's Top Ten cities to visit this year. The | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
tourist guide highlights the Albert Dock as an area that's enjoying a | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
full`blown cultural renaissance The write`up also encourages tourists to | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
experience the Liverpool Biennial Contemporary Arts Festival and the | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
Baltic Triangle. Rio de Janeiro and Sarajevo took the two top spots. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Sarajevo took the two top spots You have enough trouble choosing a | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
dress for the weather, she has that many! You would be stuck if you went | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
to the Oscars. I wonder if they want someone to come with them and carry | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
the Oscar, I could bring it back! Hello, good evening. The week ahead | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
looks to be very unsettled yet again. We had very decent conditions | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
today, it was dry and bright. Plenty of sunshine around. Don't be | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
expecting more of the same, you can see there is rain in the forecast | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
for Tuesday. Showers on Wednesday and Thursday. | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
And then we head to Friday and you can see behind me another band of | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
rain works in later on Friday. Unsettled is a best description. | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
rain works in later on Friday. Unsettled is a best description. The | :25:54. | :25:53. | |
Unsettled is a best description The rest of the week we keep | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
temperatures in single figures. I don't think we are going to see as | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
much sunshine as we saw today. Tonight, a yellow weather warn | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
warning, for fog. We are going to see dense patches of fog overnight. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
It's going to be mostly dry. The densest patches of fog I expect will | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
be over the tops of the Pen nines overnight. A cloudy night, as well. | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
It's going to be breezy in places. Temperatures will fall close to | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
freezing. We may just see a patch of frost on one or two spots. Tomorrow, | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
plenty of cloud around and that rain moves in slowly, probably not making | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
land fall until late afternoon. The winds picking up arched the coasts. | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
That `` around the coasts. That rain will fall practically all day on the | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
Isle of Man. Elsewhere, cloudy and breezy and rain later. Disappointing | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
temperatures, just five or six. The rain continues on Tuesday night into | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Wednesday. Showers on Thursday and more rain on Friday. Be careful, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
keep an eye on the fog tonight and tomorrow. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Thank you very much. An interesting fact, Martin Freeman and Tom | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Hollander did it for nothing because they loved the script so much, the | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
film we were talking about. Thank you for watching, good night. | :27:22. | :27:28. |
