:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson.

:00:07. > :00:12.A health trust at the centre of a maternity scandal is rated good

:00:13. > :00:17.three years after being put in special measures.

:00:18. > :00:20.Morecambe Bay used to be a trust that had to learn

:00:21. > :00:25.Now I think it is the other way round, I think the rest of the NHS

:00:26. > :00:27.has a lot to learn from Morecambe Bay.

:00:28. > :00:29.Hospital inspectors say Morecame Bay has made a remarkable turnaround.

:00:30. > :00:33.Samantha's told she can't drive on to the bus as her mobility

:00:34. > :00:35.scooter would affect the force of gravity.

:00:36. > :00:43.I felt downgraded and just not worthy of using public transport.

:00:44. > :00:46.Could a Doggy DNA database keep the Isle of Man's

:00:47. > :01:08.How this baby Dik Dik is surviving after losing his mum.

:01:09. > :01:14.Less than three years ago Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust was failing.

:01:15. > :01:17.The organisation that runs hospitals in Lancaster,

:01:18. > :01:19.Kendal and Barrow was put in special measures.

:01:20. > :01:21.Then in 2015 the Kirkup Report blamed

:01:22. > :01:24.the trust for the avoidable deaths of 11 babies and one mum

:01:25. > :01:39.Among them was baby Joshua whose father led the campaign to uncover

:01:40. > :01:43.its failings. Today the trust has come off the critical list.

:01:44. > :01:45.Following an inspection in October the CQC has rated it as good.

:01:46. > :01:48.A truly remarkable turnaround for a trust that faced very

:01:49. > :01:52.Less than three years ago Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust

:01:53. > :01:54.was performing so poorly it was placed in special measures.

:01:55. > :02:01.I think the staff were very bruised by the CQC report in previous years,

:02:02. > :02:05.but I think they've responded fantastically well and what we've

:02:06. > :02:08.seen is a dramatic improvement in the quality of care provided

:02:09. > :02:11.in the trust and that's a real tribute to the staff

:02:12. > :02:17.It's been a tough journey for Morecambe Bay hospitals.

:02:18. > :02:19.Here at Furness General an enquiry found serious failures

:02:20. > :02:22.in the maternity unit contributed to the deaths of 11

:02:23. > :02:28.There were serious concerns too at Westmorland General

:02:29. > :02:31.and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary but the inspector says that

:02:32. > :02:36.The inspectors found some elements of care were outstanding

:02:37. > :02:38.and were impressed with improvements in gynaecology, maternity services

:02:39. > :02:41.and end of life care, as well as communication

:02:42. > :02:44.between the hospitals and community engagement.

:02:45. > :02:48.We have seen lots of examples this time of where people who have either

:02:49. > :02:52.been affected previously, or use the services currently,

:02:53. > :03:03.have been really involved in taking the services forward.

:03:04. > :03:08.It has been about the front-line staff and all of our clinicians

:03:09. > :03:15.absolutely wanting to make those All of those improvements have

:03:16. > :03:17.been driven by them. It means such a lot to us,

:03:18. > :03:19.recognition for all the hard work we have done over the last

:03:20. > :03:21.number of years. And the news is welcomed

:03:22. > :03:24.by the people of Barrow as well. Two new knees, a new hip,

:03:25. > :03:26.both hands broken. I'm on warfarin and they are

:03:27. > :03:33.absolutely fantastic. There is still work to do

:03:34. > :03:35.with nursing posts unfilled in Lancaster and room

:03:36. > :03:38.for improvement in safety, but this James Titcombe's son Joshua died

:03:39. > :03:47.nine days after he was born His long campaign for answers,

:03:48. > :03:54.ultimately led to the government ordering the independent

:03:55. > :03:56.Morecambe Bay inquiry. Earlier I asked for his reaction

:03:57. > :04:00.to today's announcement. Really fantastic news

:04:01. > :04:02.and good news for everybody, especially mums and babies

:04:03. > :04:05.in the future, so couldn't be any more pleased

:04:06. > :04:09.with the progress that's been made. But a lot of that progress is down

:04:10. > :04:11.to yourself and this campaign you have led

:04:12. > :04:15.to improve services there. How much of a struggle

:04:16. > :04:19.was it initially? What sort of obstacles have

:04:20. > :04:21.you had to overcome to get Just complete hostility that there

:04:22. > :04:27.could be any kind of problem, Even the regulators said things

:04:28. > :04:33.were fine when really they were not. It's been an uphill struggle

:04:34. > :04:36.and I think that reflected a national problem with the country

:04:37. > :04:40.were bad news and the NHS was kept quiet rather

:04:41. > :04:44.than being addressed and dealt with. I think fortunately things

:04:45. > :04:48.are progressing and the news today shows why it is so important

:04:49. > :04:52.if there are serious problems, people have to speak out about them

:04:53. > :04:55.and they have to acknowledge that I think the biggest change I have

:04:56. > :05:03.sensed at the trust is culture. I think the leadership

:05:04. > :05:06.have a lot to do with that, so last year the trust worked very

:05:07. > :05:09.closely with me to do an investigation into Joshua's case

:05:10. > :05:13.that couldn't be more different We are never going to have a health

:05:14. > :05:19.service where mistakes do not happen, but we have to have a health

:05:20. > :05:23.service where, when mistakes do happen, they respond openly

:05:24. > :05:26.and honestly and changes are made. I think that is what I see

:05:27. > :05:29.with the trust at the moment, a trust that is willing to learn

:05:30. > :05:32.from when it doesn't As long as they have that approach,

:05:33. > :05:37.then things can only get better. It has been a long and

:05:38. > :05:40.personal battle for you. Do you feel now it

:05:41. > :05:42.has been worth it? I was thinking about this

:05:43. > :05:48.and Morecambe Bay used to be a trust that had to learn from the rest

:05:49. > :05:51.of the NHS. Now I think it is the other way

:05:52. > :05:54.round, I think the rest of the NHS has a lot to learn

:05:55. > :05:58.from Morecambe Bay and let's The family of an 87-year-old woman

:05:59. > :06:09.who was attacked in her home in Greater Manchester are appealing

:06:10. > :06:11.for the robber to return Eileen Blane is still

:06:12. > :06:16.in hospital with broken ribs, after being knocked to the floor

:06:17. > :06:19.during a violent attack The robber forcibly removed

:06:20. > :06:24.the wedding ring from her finger, and her family are desperate

:06:25. > :06:28.to get it back. It's not the financial issue,

:06:29. > :06:31.it's ?30, it's the wedding ring which is of more significance

:06:32. > :06:36.for the fact that it represents a link to my dad for the past 64

:06:37. > :06:39.years which unfortunately The funeral has taken place

:06:40. > :06:48.of a Merseyside Police Officer who died last month after his wife

:06:49. > :06:52.won a legal battle to end his life. PC Paul Briggs was left

:06:53. > :06:55.in a minimally conscious state, Among those who attended the funeral

:06:56. > :07:00.was the judge who granted the family the right to turn

:07:01. > :07:06.off his life support. Four members of a Rochdale grooming

:07:07. > :07:09.gang may now be deported to Pakistan after losing their fight

:07:10. > :07:15.to retain their British status. Abdul Raif, Abdul Aziz,

:07:16. > :07:17.Qari Abdul Rauf and Shabir Ahmed were stripped of their British

:07:18. > :07:19.citizenship after being convicted Today, an immigration tribunal has

:07:20. > :07:23.rejected their appeal, paving the way for their removal

:07:24. > :07:26.from the UK. A fur coat made from the pelt

:07:27. > :07:29.of a South American wildcat has been seized by police

:07:30. > :07:31.from a shop in Buxton. Inquiries have identified the fur

:07:32. > :07:35.as being from the Geoffroy's cat, which has the highest

:07:36. > :07:38.level of protection. Police say it was being illegally

:07:39. > :07:43.offered for sale at the shop. A disabled woman who claims

:07:44. > :07:46.she was prevented from boarding a bus on her mobility scooter says

:07:47. > :07:49.the experience has left her feeling Samantha Jones from Warrington had

:07:50. > :07:53.to transfer to a wheelchair which left her in pain and held

:07:54. > :07:56.up the service. The bus company says mobility

:07:57. > :08:00.scooters have to be individually assessed to see if they can fit

:08:01. > :08:03.on a bus. Despite being in chronic pain,

:08:04. > :08:17.Samantha Jones prides herself She's just got a mobility

:08:18. > :08:20.scooter to get around. But after being stopped

:08:21. > :08:22.from boarding a bus on it, she says her confidence and mobility

:08:23. > :08:34.have been crushed. At the time I was just gobsmacked. I

:08:35. > :08:39.didn't expect it. It is the first time I have ever seen anyone being

:08:40. > :08:42.refused on a bus. I felt downgraded and just not worthy of using public

:08:43. > :08:45.Samantha picked up her scooter from Warrington

:08:46. > :08:50.They tried to board a bus to get home but say the bus driver said

:08:51. > :08:52.she couldn't travel sitting on it because it would affect

:08:53. > :09:06.I had to transfer between my mobility scooter and my wheelchair

:09:07. > :09:08.and I felt everyone was watching me. I just feel like my independence has

:09:09. > :09:10.I just feel like my independence has been lost.

:09:11. > :09:12.Samantha was allowed to bring the scooter on board

:09:13. > :09:14.with her wheelchair taking up, she says, even more space.

:09:15. > :09:17.She tweeted her anger at her experience.

:09:18. > :09:26.There was no need for it because the mobility scooter went on anyway, so

:09:27. > :09:30.why did I not stay in it? She was embarrassed and you could see it on

:09:31. > :09:32.her face at the time. It felt like her independence had been taken

:09:33. > :09:35.The bus company, Network Warrington, says it's investigating Samantha's

:09:36. > :09:38.complaint and trying to track down the driver to talk to him.

:09:39. > :09:40.Samantha hopes her experience will raise awareness

:09:41. > :09:42.of the difficulties wheelchair users face and change attitudes

:09:43. > :09:49.Tonight Liverpool Council has announced that it wants someone else

:09:50. > :09:51.to run one of the city's biggest and best loved parks.

:09:52. > :09:54.Croxteth Park, and its historic stately home, was given

:09:55. > :09:57.to the people of Liverpool by the last Earl of Sefton,

:09:58. > :10:02.But it costs the council a million pounds a year to run Croxteth Park

:10:03. > :10:05.and it says it can't afford it any longer.

:10:06. > :10:10.Parts of Croxteth Hall date back to Tudor times,

:10:11. > :10:13.although the interior is mainly Edwardian.

:10:14. > :10:15.The council makes some money by hiring it out

:10:16. > :10:21.for conferences and weddings, but overall it loses a year.

:10:22. > :10:25.With the council budget slashed, Liverpool is looking

:10:26. > :10:29.We have had indicative interest from large social enterprises,

:10:30. > :10:32.large community groups, and people that want

:10:33. > :10:37.The testing we are going to do is to see exactly

:10:38. > :10:41.Croxteth was the seat of the Molyneux family.

:10:42. > :10:46.Here, the celebrations for the last Earl's 21st birthday in 1919.

:10:47. > :10:50.But he died childless and left the hall and a 500-acre park

:10:51. > :10:56.The council has had approaches from people who would like to turn

:10:57. > :11:00.the hall into a hotel, so long as the public are kept away.

:11:01. > :11:03.But under the terms of the last Earl's will that

:11:04. > :11:14.The question then is, are in their organisations out

:11:15. > :11:16.The question then is, are there organisations out

:11:17. > :11:19.there willing to spend the money that is needed and keep this

:11:20. > :11:22.One problem is that anyone taking it over wouldn't

:11:23. > :11:26.There are rundown rooms with unsafe floors.

:11:27. > :11:29.There was a fire in 1952 and damage from them is still visible,

:11:30. > :11:31.so how confident are local campaigners that a partner can be

:11:32. > :11:42.If you are not positive, people will think there are a lot

:11:43. > :11:51.We are being totally open about what the limitations of this place are.

:11:52. > :11:54.For park users keeping it public is vital.

:11:55. > :11:58.All my memories are of it as a kid growing up here and a lot

:11:59. > :12:03.I'd like it for him as well, so hopefully it will

:12:04. > :12:07.This is a fantastic facility for the people of Liverpool and why

:12:08. > :12:20.The council will vote on seeking a partner next week.

:12:21. > :12:29.He's only four but Mason is already hitting the bullseye.

:12:30. > :12:34.Thanos, the tiny Dik Dik, who's being raised by his keepers

:12:35. > :12:44.A judge who had to flee Afghanistan and Pakistan

:12:45. > :12:47.after the Taliban tried to kill her, is using her skills to help Muslim

:12:48. > :12:51.women in the Northwest to get an education.

:12:52. > :12:55.Although she was stopped from doing it in her own country

:12:56. > :12:57.Marzia Babakarkhail says it's her mission to

:12:58. > :13:03.Our Reporter, Rahila Bano's been to meet her.

:13:04. > :13:05.The emergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan and in parts

:13:06. > :13:11.of Pakistan changed Marzia Babakarkhail's life for ever.

:13:12. > :13:13.She promoted women's rights in the region

:13:14. > :13:21.What she was doing was going against the teachings

:13:22. > :13:26.And they warned me, stop this activity,

:13:27. > :13:30.Despite the warnings, she carried on with her work

:13:31. > :13:34.but was attacked by them in a hit and run and left for dead.

:13:35. > :13:43.They are warning me by phones and sending letters to my

:13:44. > :13:49.When I came back to sit in my car I don't know how I can

:13:50. > :13:54.The car just came on me and they hit me by car.

:13:55. > :13:57.When I opened my eyes I was in hospital.

:13:58. > :14:03.Afraid they'd return she left her home for good in 2008.

:14:04. > :14:06.Searching for a new life she claimed asylum in Britain,

:14:07. > :14:09.learnt English and got her British citizenship after settling

:14:10. > :14:15.Now with the help of the Oxfam Future Skills programme

:14:16. > :14:18.she wants to use her experiences to help other women

:14:19. > :14:26.Some people they have family problems, domestic violence,

:14:27. > :14:30.some women want to be in English classes and girls want to go

:14:31. > :14:35.to university and I am trying to talk very nicely

:14:36. > :14:41.with their families to not to push, not to force, to respectfully

:14:42. > :14:49.encourage the families to allow the girls to go to university.

:14:50. > :14:54.A decade on from a brutal attack by the Taliban has left Marzia even

:14:55. > :15:05.more determined to empower Muslim women.

:15:06. > :15:09.The Isle of Man could introduce DNA testing of dogs to catch people

:15:10. > :15:16.The Manx government will consult the public on new measures

:15:17. > :15:23.Including the possibility of a dog DNA database.

:15:24. > :15:25.Irresponsible owners could then be traced and fined

:15:26. > :15:34.It might not be what Sherlock has stepped in but laboratory testing

:15:35. > :15:40.could be the Isle of Man's new weapon against dog poo.

:15:41. > :15:42.Proposed changes to the island's dog laws mean microchipping is set

:15:43. > :15:47.to become compulsory and licences will be abolished.

:15:48. > :15:50.But there's an idea to take this one step further and bring

:15:51. > :16:06.You can track back from the DNA profile dog mess on the pavement to

:16:07. > :16:11.the individual dog who has left the mess behind. Let's face it, we have

:16:12. > :16:19.all done it and it presses and nerve amongst the public. Parts like this

:16:20. > :16:24.are amongst some of the local areas. But now it could be as simple as

:16:25. > :16:28.retrieving a few samples and sending them to the lab to be tested.

:16:29. > :16:33.To have a dog's profile taken would cost around ?30.

:16:34. > :16:39.It is easy to do and not painful and if it does become mandatory it will

:16:40. > :16:42.Dog DNA profiling has been tried elsewhere like the London Borough

:16:43. > :16:44.of Barking and Dagenham and in Gibraltar.

:16:45. > :16:47.So if the Manx public thinks it's a good idea when it goes

:16:48. > :16:52.to consultation the island could follow their lead.

:16:53. > :17:00.Somebody did not pick it up the other day and I stood on it on the

:17:01. > :17:04.beach. In the summer it is awful. Are they going to police it

:17:05. > :17:07.That is the other thing, it is all money.

:17:08. > :17:11.For Edward, it's just a call of nature, for his owner it could be

:17:12. > :17:18.a ?1,000 fine if he doesn't pick up what Edward leaves behind.

:17:19. > :17:27.It is an interesting idea. You could have your dog's DNA tested.

:17:28. > :17:31.I always pick it up, as you should. I have got nothing against dogs

:17:32. > :17:33.except that one thing. We are moving on to better things.

:17:34. > :17:38.Sport now and as you'll have seen this week we've been building up

:17:39. > :17:43.And Richard you've got a Warrior and a Centurion with you tonight?

:17:44. > :17:47.Yes it all gets underway tonight with St Helens against Leeds.

:17:48. > :17:51.They're two sides who'll be hoping to topple the Champions Wigan

:17:52. > :17:53.and I'm delighted to say we've got Thomas Leuluai from the Warriors

:17:54. > :17:57.with us this evening and Martin Ridyard from promoted

:17:58. > :18:02.Thomas you're back at Wigan of course for your second spell.

:18:03. > :18:05.No doubt you watched your team mates win the title and this

:18:06. > :18:12.Are you the team to beat do you think?

:18:13. > :18:18.We are working hard, we have had a good pre-season and we had a good

:18:19. > :18:22.finish to last year and we are looking to do the same this year.

:18:23. > :18:27.You are back in the super league for the first time since 2005. You must

:18:28. > :18:32.be extremely proud, you have been at the club a long time. We are going

:18:33. > :18:37.to see one of your tries that clinched promotion. How much are you

:18:38. > :18:41.looking forward to mixing it with the big boys? You want to play at

:18:42. > :18:45.the top level and to play against the big boys week in, week out, will

:18:46. > :18:50.be really tough and we are really excited about it at the same time. I

:18:51. > :19:05.think there was a bit of obstruction! Your team

:19:06. > :19:10.strengthening, when you look around the team, do you think you can do

:19:11. > :19:16.something this year? I do not see why we cannot survive, but it will

:19:17. > :19:20.be really tough and a big challenge. Now we are going to see you scoring

:19:21. > :19:24.a try six years ago in the Champions Cup final against Leeds. You

:19:25. > :19:30.achieved so much in that first spell, what are you hoping to

:19:31. > :19:35.achieve this time? I really enjoy it back here in the super league and I

:19:36. > :19:41.look forward to getting back playing. It is the same, like Wigan

:19:42. > :19:45.they always like being in the big games and winning trophies and that

:19:46. > :19:51.is all I am looking forward to. You are back and so is George Burgess.

:19:52. > :19:55.Our fantastic young player. He has been playing in Australia. What has

:19:56. > :20:00.he been like in Australia and what impact will he make? He has been

:20:01. > :20:06.really good. He had a bit of an injury, so he has not trained to

:20:07. > :20:10.much pre-season. He played very well and he is very fast. He had a good

:20:11. > :20:16.stint over there and learn a lot and is looking forward to getting back

:20:17. > :20:21.into it. Will he get better? Yes, as you get older you improve and learn

:20:22. > :20:25.and you want different experiences and you will learn a lot and he

:20:26. > :20:30.looks in good shape. You are starting against Salford on Saturday

:20:31. > :20:35.and you have got Castleford tomorrow away, Martin. What about that first

:20:36. > :20:38.challenge? You told me before that you might not sleep tonight. How

:20:39. > :20:43.excited are you about getting into super league? Yes, it will be a

:20:44. > :20:48.great one tomorrow night for us and we have been waiting for a long

:20:49. > :20:53.time. There is no bigger test than Castleford away and so be it. You

:20:54. > :20:58.two look pretty friendly, but you will be meeting in March and it

:20:59. > :21:03.might be different then. Yes, it might be, but I will be keeping on

:21:04. > :21:09.his good side. Have you ever played against him? No, I don't think so. I

:21:10. > :21:16.am looking forward to it. From what I have heard the two teams are quite

:21:17. > :21:21.close and we are looking for to playing them and they deserve to be

:21:22. > :21:26.in the super league. Absolutely, stay friends, gents. It all gets

:21:27. > :21:38.under way tonight at eight o'clock. All the best coverage is on BBC

:21:39. > :21:42.Radio Merseyside. We will continue with the sporting

:21:43. > :21:45.This is one you want to watch in the future.

:21:46. > :21:47.He's only four, yet Mason Foulkes from Stockport is already

:21:48. > :21:51.He's got a board and oche in his bedroom after becoming

:21:52. > :21:54.obsessed with the game when he saw it on TV two years ago.

:21:55. > :22:14.I'm going to be the best in the world.

:22:15. > :22:17.Two years he has been playing and his standard is brilliant.

:22:18. > :22:20.If I am sat here when he's playing, we can be here for hours.

:22:21. > :22:24.But him on his own he can hit the bull's-eye and then walk out.

:22:25. > :22:27.Twin brother Ashton has his own interests.

:22:28. > :22:33.He's good at darts and I'm good at dancing and reading.

:22:34. > :22:41.We are going to get him to be BDO old world champion and go over

:22:42. > :22:45.to the PDC and be world champion and I am going to put a bet

:22:46. > :22:49.on him being the youngest ever world champion.

:22:50. > :22:58.He is a player. I know nothing about diets, but he has got good action.

:22:59. > :23:07.He must be really good at maths. You can see more of Mason on our

:23:08. > :23:07.Facebook. Following hot on Mason's heals...

:23:08. > :23:13.The tiny Dik Dik isn't much bigger than a bottle of pop.

:23:14. > :23:15.He's so light he doesn't even register on the antelope scales -

:23:16. > :23:20.after he was born and now his keeper's

:23:21. > :23:31.There is cute and then there is this. After a tough start to life,

:23:32. > :23:35.he is finding his feet. Unfortunately his mum was injured

:23:36. > :23:39.sure Lee after giving birth and is not with us any more and we had to

:23:40. > :23:45.take him on ourselves and act as his mother to make sure he was getting

:23:46. > :23:49.fed enough and looked after. In his little enclosure he has all the

:23:50. > :23:55.carrots, cabbage and leaves he can eat, along with regular bottle-feed.

:23:56. > :24:04.Smashed it, good lad. He recognises me and he knows his bottle, but he

:24:05. > :24:10.likes anyone who comes in. He is curious and likes to investigate

:24:11. > :24:15.things. When he was born he was 19 centimetres tall, about as big as a

:24:16. > :24:21.bottle of pop. He is still so light, though, he does not register on the

:24:22. > :24:24.antelope scales. He really is tiny. But he is getting bigger and

:24:25. > :24:29.stronger by the day and could eventually grow to 40 centimetres

:24:30. > :24:35.tall. We will keep supplement feeding him now because he is on

:24:36. > :24:40.solid food as well and in the next six weeks up to two months, we will

:24:41. > :24:47.introduce him to others in the zoo. After which it is hoped he will join

:24:48. > :24:52.a breeding programme. I don't imagine he will be short of people

:24:53. > :24:58.to look after him! We will have a look at the weather in a second. We

:24:59. > :25:04.have just spotted these pictures on Twitter sent to us by Robin Cooper.

:25:05. > :25:08.This is hair ice which he spotted to date out in Coniston. Ice crystals

:25:09. > :25:18.form overnight on rotting wood and they get their shape by a fungus.

:25:19. > :25:27.Apparently it is very rare, so to spot that it is very good.

:25:28. > :25:30.We are taking that seriously and we believe everything you are telling

:25:31. > :25:38.us about it, Robin Cooper. It is very rare. I had never heard

:25:39. > :25:43.of it ever. You get all those kind of things at this time of year and

:25:44. > :25:45.every day is a school day. It really is and I do not want to go to

:25:46. > :25:54.school. Cold weather descended on us today

:25:55. > :25:58.and it will stick around for a couple of days. Most night will be

:25:59. > :26:03.subzero and the daytime is not much better. This looks pretty

:26:04. > :26:09.straightforward, it looks cloudy, but there is a fly in the ointment.

:26:10. > :26:12.A little line of weather is coming through on Friday night into

:26:13. > :26:20.Saturday. There could be a light dusting of snow. A little bit of

:26:21. > :26:25.snow could be in the forecast in the next couple of hours because we have

:26:26. > :26:28.had a few showers during the day and they will continue overnight. It

:26:29. > :26:33.will be over the highest level routes. If there is a light dusting,

:26:34. > :26:42.it will only be over the highest level routes. It is nothing unusual

:26:43. > :26:47.for this time of year. Overnight temperatures are at the same as last

:26:48. > :26:50.night, down to minus one for most towns and cities. There is a bit

:26:51. > :27:06.clear whether around, but at this clear whether around, but at

:27:07. > :27:08.showers trying to get over from the other side of the Pennines. In

:27:09. > :27:14.Cumbria and Lancashire that is where the best weather will be. You might

:27:15. > :27:19.be lucky on the Isle of Mann and see a bit more. The daytime temperatures

:27:20. > :27:29.are quite depressed. Three and four at the very best.

:27:30. > :27:32.Dog DNA has got people talking. Sometimes when I sit down here in

:27:33. > :27:40.the studio with my trousers on I have got a dog mess plastic packet

:27:41. > :27:54.in my pocket. A nasty thought!

:27:55. > :28:01.OK, everyone, have you got your bamboo sticks?

:28:02. > :28:02.If you just paint what you want to paint,

:28:03. > :28:08.I've turned around, my painting washes away.

:28:09. > :28:14...and take on The Big Painting Challenge.

:28:15. > :28:17.Remember, you're not painting a pond.
