:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin -

:00:08. > :00:12.Gas engineers found no leak - 12 hours before this.

:00:13. > :00:15.So what caused the weekend Wirral explosion?

:00:16. > :00:18.Lots of people screaming, lots of people shouting,

:00:19. > :00:22.I ran to the corner of the estate and I said, "What's

:00:23. > :00:24.happened?" and they pointed to a huge

:00:25. > :00:31.We'll have the latest live - as dozens count their blessings

:00:32. > :00:42.A famous face shakes things up - as anti-fracking campaigners start

:00:43. > :00:46.a fortnight of disruption in Lancashire.

:00:47. > :00:48.In built up areas, on agricultural land

:00:49. > :00:50.and I really don't think's a

:00:51. > :01:02.Police believe he may have been murdered.

:01:03. > :01:04.And what would you do for your best friend?

:01:05. > :01:08.How Helen has changed Andy's life forever.

:01:09. > :01:11.Andy's got kidney disease and needs a transplant and, because I'm able

:01:12. > :01:27.and I'm fit, I'm donating my kidney to him today.

:01:28. > :01:29.Police are investigating the huge gas explosion in Wirral

:01:30. > :01:35.Dozens of people were hurt and a building which housed a dance

:01:36. > :01:39.school was obliterated by the blast in New Ferry on Saturday night.

:01:40. > :01:42.National Grid have confirmed they'd received reports of a smell of gas

:01:43. > :01:47.Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, is nearby,

:01:48. > :02:01.The devastation is apparent over your shoulder. That's right, they

:02:02. > :02:07.have moved the police cordon so we can get near tore the devastation.

:02:08. > :02:13.-- nearer to the devastation. That heap of rubble was a dance studio.

:02:14. > :02:17.But there was a huge explosion that wrecked it and turned many lives

:02:18. > :02:29.upside down. The moment when lives were changed was captured on a car's

:02:30. > :02:33.dash cam. Now, as you can see, the devastation is plain to see down

:02:34. > :02:37.here, if you look from above you can see the true extent of the damage.

:02:38. > :02:41.This was an explosion which left more than 30 people injured. Two of

:02:42. > :02:45.those people still in hospital tonight. I have been catching up

:02:46. > :02:52.with some of the people affected by the blast. Fortunately, we have

:02:53. > :02:57.got... Paula is trying to sort out a temporary home for her family and

:02:58. > :03:03.the strain is beginning to show. Her husband, Chris, was home alone at

:03:04. > :03:07.their house a few doors from the scene of Saturday's blast. There was

:03:08. > :03:11.a huge bang, the windows came n glass every where, I jumped up, ran

:03:12. > :03:17.out, lots of people screaming and shouting, I ran to the corner of the

:03:18. > :03:24.estate, I said, what's happened and they pointed to a huge building

:03:25. > :03:30.which has collapsed. This is their home they're not being allowed back

:03:31. > :03:34.yet. An added worry is their pet cat has not been seen since Saturday

:03:35. > :03:39.night. We talked to the animal rescue department and see whether

:03:40. > :03:43.they can go in and find our cat. What about the future for you,

:03:44. > :03:47.you're citying at your sister-in-laws, what is going to

:03:48. > :03:51.happen to you? We have chatted to our insurance and they're going to

:03:52. > :03:53.sort out accommodation tomorrow. Sometimes you watch things on

:03:54. > :04:00.television and you think to yourself, that will never happen

:04:01. > :04:05.here. And it did on Saturday night. Roger lives a couple of streets from

:04:06. > :04:10.the explosion. This big bang and I managed to jump up quick. As I went

:04:11. > :04:17.to the door, all the slates was coming down off the roof. Tom says

:04:18. > :04:20.?2.50 saved his life. He would have been walking past the very point of

:04:21. > :04:26.the explosion, had it not been for the fact he was delayed collecting

:04:27. > :04:29.his modest winnings after a game of bingo. If we had been a minute

:04:30. > :04:35.earlier, we would have been in the explosion. So I'm very lucky. A

:04:36. > :04:40.number of locals have said they smelled gas in the area on Friday

:04:41. > :04:45.and National Grid have confirmed they did have people in the area on

:04:46. > :04:49.Friday investigating such reports. However, they found nothing. While

:04:50. > :04:52.the investigation continues, many here have praised the way the

:04:53. > :05:01.community pulled together to rally around and help those affected by

:05:02. > :05:06.the blast. That is a theme that has come out today and I'm joined by the

:05:07. > :05:09.pastor of the local church. You said you have been amazed at how the

:05:10. > :05:16.community has pulled together? I have been amazed that the whole

:05:17. > :05:27.community and the wider community have come together. The paramedics,

:05:28. > :05:33.the councillors and the church and areas have come together, even

:05:34. > :05:40.though it is devastation, people are helping each other and it has took

:05:41. > :05:46.this to bing people together. What are you able to do help people and

:05:47. > :05:51.businesses? We have been here most of the day to try and understand

:05:52. > :05:56.what are the issues and what support they need and we are working to

:05:57. > :06:01.identify a building where we could provide space and pop up space for

:06:02. > :06:04.the existing traders, whose property has been damaged. It will take a

:06:05. > :06:10.long time for the community to rebuild? Yes, it is, even though I

:06:11. > :06:15.think it will take some time, I think with the likes of the

:06:16. > :06:21.different partners of commerce, I'm sure we will get this sorted. Thank

:06:22. > :06:25.you. Let's not forget there is still two people in hospital who suffered

:06:26. > :06:31.serious injuries and 30 who were affected by the blast. The effects

:06:32. > :06:40.are going to be going on for some time to come. Thank you.

:06:41. > :06:43.A man from Merseyside who went missing nearly a quarter

:06:44. > :06:46.of a century ago may have been killed and buried on scrubland

:06:47. > :06:49.That's what an informant has told the police

:06:50. > :06:50.and today they're acting on that tip-off.

:06:51. > :06:52.Officers have started an extensive search for Steven Preston,

:06:53. > :06:55.who was 23 when he was last seen alive.

:06:56. > :06:58.Our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, has the story.

:06:59. > :07:00.Police begin their search of scrubland near the M53

:07:01. > :07:05.It's somewhere here that police have been told

:07:06. > :07:09.A tip-off they're treating as credible.

:07:10. > :07:16.But they're not saying why anyone would have wanted to kill him.

:07:17. > :07:24.We're keeping an open mind about that at the moment. Steven's

:07:25. > :07:29.background, it was a bit chaotic, and we are not sure at this point in

:07:30. > :07:30.time whether he was involved in any activity that may have meant he was

:07:31. > :07:33.under threat by anybody. Steven lived

:07:34. > :07:34.in Bebington in Wirral. His family say he was

:07:35. > :07:37.gentle, kind and funny. Steven was 23 when he

:07:38. > :07:42.was last seen alive. He waved from his bedroom

:07:43. > :07:50.window to his Mum, Isobel as she went to work one

:07:51. > :07:57.morning in September 1992. The circumstances where are

:07:58. > :08:01.investigated at the time and former officers have been spoken to. It was

:08:02. > :08:04.passed over to what was the missing person's bureau at the time and any

:08:05. > :08:06.sightings were recorded and followed up.

:08:07. > :08:08.Police are clearing large areas of brambles.

:08:09. > :08:11.And making up to 90,000 aeration holes to release any scent

:08:12. > :08:20.of human remains that a cadaver dog may be able to detect.

:08:21. > :08:34.There wouldn't be an issue, if we prepare the area, the dogs should be

:08:35. > :08:38.pick it up. This is win of biggest operations of its kind in the area

:08:39. > :08:41.for many years and the police officers could be on site for at

:08:42. > :08:43.least a week. Police want

:08:44. > :08:45.anyone who has information about what happened

:08:46. > :08:50.to Steven Preston to contact them. A student from Morecambe who was

:08:51. > :08:52.injured in last week's terror attack on Westminster,

:08:53. > :08:55.says he wants people to unite, Owen Lambert was among a group

:08:56. > :08:59.of Edge Hill students hit by Khalid Masood's speeding car,

:09:00. > :09:02.one of whom remains in hospital. Owen's been speaking

:09:03. > :09:04.to the Panorama programme, I don't want to blame anyone, I want

:09:05. > :09:11.us all to make sure that we're thankful for what we

:09:12. > :09:13.have, for the people that are still alive

:09:14. > :09:14.and the people that are currently

:09:15. > :09:18.recovering, and we should sort of try and unify through that,

:09:19. > :09:21.through love and compassion, rather than through our hatred

:09:22. > :09:27.and anger about what happened. A cricketer from Manchester has

:09:28. > :09:30.avoided jail after beating his wife with his own bat and making

:09:31. > :09:35.her drink bleach. The judge gave Mustafa Bashir

:09:36. > :09:39.an 18-month jail term, suspended for two years,

:09:40. > :09:42.after being told Bashir was set to play professionally

:09:43. > :09:44.for Leicestershire, a claim the county cricket

:09:45. > :10:04.club strongly denies. A woman has been sprubg by a

:10:05. > :10:15.suspected stolen car on Friday. A 13-year-old boy was airlifed

:10:16. > :10:17.to hospital after falling Police said the incident happened

:10:18. > :10:21.at around 5 o'clock yesterday evening at an industrial unit off

:10:22. > :10:23.Bolton Road. The teenager was treated

:10:24. > :10:29.for a broken nose and cut lip. Police are investigating a road rage

:10:30. > :10:31.incident in Chorlton This footage was filmed on a drivers

:10:32. > :10:38.dash board camera on Wilmslow Road Anti-fracking campaigners have

:10:39. > :10:51.started a fortnight of action - aimed at disrupting the Cuadrilla

:10:52. > :10:54.drilling site near Blackpool. They held up traffic this morning

:10:55. > :10:56.on Kellet Road near Carnforth - targeting a nearby firm

:10:57. > :10:58.which they think And there we also more protests

:10:59. > :11:03.at the fracking site itself, as our Environment Correspondent

:11:04. > :11:19.Judy Hobson reports. They called it a happy Monday.

:11:20. > :11:23.They're fracking in built up areas and agricultural land and I don't

:11:24. > :11:34.think it's the right way to go about things.

:11:35. > :11:36.Earlier today, a very different kind of protest.

:11:37. > :11:37.This time in Carnforth Environmental, group

:11:38. > :11:39.Reclaim The Power blockaded a company that they believe supplies

:11:40. > :11:44.materials to the Lancashire fracking site.

:11:45. > :11:52.Lifz climbed on to a swing this morning. Why are you doing this? We

:11:53. > :11:56.are here in solidarity with the people who said no to this.

:11:57. > :11:58.Cuadrilla claims the companies, Aggregate Industries and Tarmac Ltd,

:11:59. > :12:09.Back at Preston, new road more disruption -

:12:10. > :12:12.this time a go-slow march in front of a lorry

:12:13. > :12:15.Today's protests have been condemned by some local businesses.

:12:16. > :12:18.They've called it unfair and say it could damage the local economy.

:12:19. > :12:20.This man runs a company which supplies contractors

:12:21. > :12:30.I just feel it has been taken too far, interfering with local

:12:31. > :12:34.businesses that just want to be benefit from being part of supply

:12:35. > :12:48.train and bringing this industry to our doorsteps. Cuadrilla says their

:12:49. > :12:53.plans won't be delayed and the fight over fracking does not seem likely

:12:54. > :13:04.to quiet dune. Now to sport and Richard is here. It has been a

:13:05. > :13:06.lovely day for sport today. But for Anthony Crolla, Saturday didn't pan

:13:07. > :13:10.out as he hoped? No, I'm afraid Anthony

:13:11. > :13:12.was well beaten. All three judges gave

:13:13. > :13:14.the fight to Jorge Linares The Manchester fighter was trying

:13:15. > :13:18.to win back his WBA lightweight belt at the Manchester Arena and fought

:13:19. > :13:20.bravely in front of But his Venezuelan opponent

:13:21. > :13:23.proved to be too good. Anthony fractured a rib

:13:24. > :13:26.early in the fight and was still bloodied and bruised today

:13:27. > :13:29.when I spoke to him at his home. But typically wasn't

:13:30. > :13:30.making any excuses. I lost to a great fighter,

:13:31. > :13:33.there's no excuses whatsoever. So a bit of a rest, recharge,

:13:34. > :13:35.come back and bring those big nights to Manchester,

:13:36. > :13:38.whoever it will be, hopefully a few These are the shorts

:13:39. > :13:44.you wore in the fight and When you look at this

:13:45. > :13:49.and you think back to the fight, what's the main

:13:50. > :13:51.feeling you have got, There's all sorts of emotions,

:13:52. > :13:58.bloodstains into those shorts, yes, I was proud

:13:59. > :14:01.and the reception I got coming out in that arena is something I'll

:14:02. > :14:05.never forget and the support I've had since,

:14:06. > :14:12.I'm trying to get through me phone, there's hundreds and

:14:13. > :14:15.hundreds of messages, honestly, you're trying

:14:16. > :14:20.reply to people and the support was more than anything.

:14:21. > :14:22.What is the plan, have you are you just going to

:14:23. > :14:26.Yes, I would like to say for the future, certainly I

:14:27. > :14:29.won't be able to do much exercise for the next few weeks with the

:14:30. > :14:34.But there's plenty of options there and plenty of big fights.

:14:35. > :14:39.What have your friends and family said to you?

:14:40. > :14:41.They have said they're all very proud.

:14:42. > :14:43.Your trainer wanted to pull you out, it looked

:14:44. > :14:55.It's probably said a few stronger words.

:14:56. > :14:59.But that would have hurt more than the defeat itself.

:15:00. > :15:01.So you're going to take a bit of time

:15:02. > :15:05.out and spend time with your fiance and your son and bit of time to

:15:06. > :15:10.Yeah, I don't know about planning the wedding - if I

:15:11. > :15:12.get involved in that, I will end up more bruised

:15:13. > :15:20.No, my thing is I will spend time with my

:15:21. > :15:22.little boy and I am long forwarding to getting back.

:15:23. > :15:32.Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill says

:15:33. > :15:34.Everton's Seamus Coleman is still pretty down

:15:35. > :15:36.after breaking his leg in Friday's World Cup

:15:37. > :15:44.The full-back has had surgery which O'Neill says went well

:15:45. > :15:46.and he'll be replaced as Ireland captain by Burnley's Robbie Brady.

:15:47. > :15:48.Meanwhile Fifa will pick up Coleman's wages

:15:49. > :15:55.Manchester City Women will face Liverpool Ladies in the semi finals

:15:56. > :15:57.of the Womens FA Cup following today's draw.

:15:58. > :15:59.The tie will be played on Easter Monday.

:16:00. > :16:02.Onto the weekend's EFL winners now and Bolton Wanderers remain

:16:03. > :16:04.in League One's automatic promotion places after a 2-0

:16:05. > :16:08.And how about this for a finish from Rochdale's Ian Henderson

:16:09. > :16:15.in their 3-1 success at struggling Chesterfield.

:16:16. > :16:17.In League Two, Blackpool moved into the play-off places

:16:18. > :16:19.after Kyle Vassell's cross-cum-shot secured a late 2-1 success over

:16:20. > :16:27.And how about this for a fine team goal from Crewe

:16:28. > :16:29.who beat Carlisle 2-0, their third win on the bounce

:16:30. > :16:37.There was more success for Chorley squash star Laura Massaro who became

:16:38. > :16:40.the first English woman for 66 years to win two British

:16:41. > :16:44.The former World Number One, seen here in blue, beat

:16:45. > :16:47.Sarah Jane Perry in yesterday's final in Hull.

:16:48. > :16:50.The next challenge is the World Championships in Egypt

:16:51. > :16:59.Finally from me, a reminder that you can see all the action

:17:00. > :17:01.and reaction from the weekend's Super League games

:17:02. > :17:06.on The Super League Show, right here on BBC1 at 1145 tonight.

:17:07. > :17:15.Great win for St Helens over Warrington. Still to get off the

:17:16. > :17:19.mark, Warrington. That was a great goal. Thank you.

:17:20. > :17:22.Now to a story of real friendship - a woman from Cheshire has given

:17:23. > :17:25.the most precious gift to her best friend - a kidney,

:17:26. > :17:29.When Andy Clewes from Crewe was told he'd need dialysis

:17:30. > :17:32.if he didn't have a transplant, friend Helen offered to become

:17:33. > :17:38.That selfless act has changed both their lives,

:17:39. > :17:41.But first Mairead Smyth followed Helen as she prepared

:17:42. > :17:51.As dawn was breaking in Liverpool on a cold January morning,

:17:52. > :17:54.Helen Crowther was preparing to do something most of us

:17:55. > :17:56.would never dream of - donate a kidney to her best

:17:57. > :18:09.Andy's got kidney disease and needs a transplant, because I'm able and

:18:10. > :18:13.fit, I'm donating my kidney today. The reason we are working with the

:18:14. > :18:17.BBC is to try and tell everybody that this is something you can do

:18:18. > :18:19.for somebody you love or for a stranger.

:18:20. > :18:22.Helen had months of tests at the Royal Liverpool University

:18:23. > :18:24.Hospital to prepare for surgery as an altruistic donor.

:18:25. > :18:32.The team here need more people like Helen to come forward

:18:33. > :18:46.There are around 6,000 people on the transplant waiting list. To maybe

:18:47. > :18:49.clear the kidneys can be donated while you're living.

:18:50. > :18:52.The operation to remove Helen's left kidney took just over two hours -

:18:53. > :18:54.it was then packed in ice and transported to

:18:55. > :19:07.We are following the courier and going to meet the team at the

:19:08. > :19:11.hospital and find out what is happening to transplant the kidney

:19:12. > :19:19.into Andy's body and hopefully transform his life. We got the call

:19:20. > :19:23.saying the kidney was out and on the road about 12.30. It arrived here

:19:24. > :19:31.just after 1 by blue light ambulance. The kidney was received

:19:32. > :19:33.in theatres and our surgeons were ready to go.

:19:34. > :19:36.Helen's kidney began working as soon as it was transplanted into Andy's

:19:37. > :19:38.body, but his recovery has been tough

:19:39. > :19:41.because of other complications - today though he's healthier

:19:42. > :19:53.Helen Crowther and Andy Clewes here now.

:19:54. > :20:01.Both looking remarkably well. Andy, what an amazing best friend you have

:20:02. > :20:05.got. Yes, it really is. I have been doing the rounds of interviews today

:20:06. > :20:10.and I still can't find the right words to say thank you. It doesn't

:20:11. > :20:18.seem to be enough. But you do know how I feel about it? Yeah! How ill

:20:19. > :20:24.were you first of all? It is one of those things, I didn't know how ill

:20:25. > :20:29.I was until I got the new kidney and when you feel 100% better, you

:20:30. > :20:34.remember how bad it was. So it was difficult at the time, I think the

:20:35. > :20:40.body gets used to what's going on. You had been hill for a long time?

:20:41. > :20:46.Yes. It got to the point where it was dialysis or a transplant. Helen,

:20:47. > :20:49.for you it was one of those I presume casual offer that was made

:20:50. > :20:56.in the past and actually turned out after a lot of steps to be something

:20:57. > :21:00.you did. Did you ever have doubts? No, not at all. When it became clear

:21:01. > :21:05.that Andy was going to go down that route and needed a transplant, I

:21:06. > :21:11.said, I'll do it. And time passed a bit. And then they came to him and

:21:12. > :21:16.said, dialysis or transplant. I said, I mean it. I wouldn't have

:21:17. > :21:25.said that. You were a match of course. Y, Yes so we lucky, but we

:21:26. > :21:30.could have gone into the pairing pool and he could have got somebody

:21:31. > :21:34.else's kidney and they would have got mine. So it works in a chain?

:21:35. > :21:38.You're giving one to somebody and someone else can give it to somebody

:21:39. > :21:43.else. You say you feel better. How has it changed your life. You said

:21:44. > :21:46.you have been ill for a long time. I think the general thing is energy.

:21:47. > :21:51.Because beforehand, I would be going to work and come home and I would be

:21:52. > :21:58.on the sofa and in bed. I didn't have the energy to do anything else.

:21:59. > :22:03.Now, I'm being told by consultants I need to pull back a bit. You got

:22:04. > :22:08.married a your wife is giving you jobs. Yes I keep saying, the

:22:09. > :22:13.consultant says you have got to take it easy. She says whatever. But she

:22:14. > :22:19.has been so supportive and was there every day at the hospital. How long

:22:20. > :22:25.was the recovery for both of you. For me, longer because there were

:22:26. > :22:29.other issues, the kidney worked fine, but there were other problems

:22:30. > :22:36.and I was in hospital until 9th February. So about a month. What was

:22:37. > :22:40.your recovery. I was out in three days. I had the operation on Tuesday

:22:41. > :22:44.and I was home at Friday. What would you say to anybody else who has

:22:45. > :22:48.thought about it, because there will be people watching who are perhaps

:22:49. > :22:54.in ill health and heading down the route that Andy was going down. What

:22:55. > :23:00.would you say to anybody who's considering it. I would say talk to

:23:01. > :23:04.somebody at the hospital. Have a chat with with them. They will

:23:05. > :23:09.reassure you about how well you will be look after. They won't allow to

:23:10. > :23:12.go into this unless you're in the right condition and they will look

:23:13. > :23:17.after you every step of the way. I have been well looked after by the

:23:18. > :23:22.Royal Hospital in Liverpool, who have made me their No 1 priority.

:23:23. > :23:26.You made a point of saying in the piece, that you wanted the

:23:27. > :23:30.publicity, because you, it is so important, you want others to get

:23:31. > :23:34.involved. Yes absolutely. We need people to sign up to the donor

:23:35. > :23:42.register or consider being a living donor. I know that won't be for

:23:43. > :23:48.everybody. But sign up. Does it worry you, there is, there is an up

:23:49. > :23:53.side for Andy, but you only have one kidney, does it worry you that

:23:54. > :23:56.anything might go wrong? There is a possibility that could happen, but

:23:57. > :24:00.there is more a possibility it won't happen. And I'm a healthy and fit

:24:01. > :24:04.and they have made sure I was before they let me go through with this.

:24:05. > :24:10.I'm confident that I should be OK. Things can happen to anybody. But

:24:11. > :24:15.the main thing for me is that Andy's looking so well and he is. You

:24:16. > :24:22.really are. Is there anything you can't do? Only things I couldn't do

:24:23. > :24:25.before. But no generally, apart from having to take it easy, there is

:24:26. > :24:29.nothing stopping me. I can do whatever I want. You have been

:24:30. > :24:35.friends for a long time. You're now, does it feel you're carrying a bit

:24:36. > :24:42.of your best friend around with you. I think I'm tidier. Helen's kind of,

:24:43. > :24:51.well you're a bit OCD with tidiness. I wouldn't say that! But I would.

:24:52. > :24:56.Who know you carried an OCD gene in your kidney! We have discovered

:24:57. > :25:05.something. Thank you. A wonderful story and nice to see Andy and Helen

:25:06. > :25:07.talking about that story. If you want more details, we will put that

:25:08. > :25:21.on our Facebook page. A wonderful three days, but

:25:22. > :25:25.everything has to come to an end. You knew it wouldn't last. We ask

:25:26. > :25:29.for so little. Temperatures around the mid teens, rising into the high

:25:30. > :25:33.teens. The temperatures will be good. I'm suring you some sunshine

:25:34. > :25:39.out of our window. You will have the same picture. Our weather-watchers,

:25:40. > :25:44.there is not a bad picture that has come in. Everything looking

:25:45. > :25:48.beautiful. But we do change and things slip and we will see low

:25:49. > :25:55.pressure through the next can you remember of days. If you watch the

:25:56. > :26:01.arrows, the wind is from a favourable direction. It is still

:26:02. > :26:05.bringing some mild air. So the temperatures won't be an issue, but

:26:06. > :26:10.there will be some rain. That starts from tonight. Although there is

:26:11. > :26:14.hardly a cloud in the sky, by the early hours, the map darkens and

:26:15. > :26:19.cloud rolls in. It is not blanket cloud cover. But the air is mild. So

:26:20. > :26:24.look at the temperatures. Generally around six and seven degrees. Four

:26:25. > :26:31.in rural areas. When you get up tomorrow, the sun it back up at 6.51

:26:32. > :26:36.after the clock change. You get some sunshine here and there, but the map

:26:37. > :26:42.is mainly grey. So that means a veil of cloud. It is not too gloomy and

:26:43. > :26:47.you may catch a glimpse of sunshine. But this front brings light and

:26:48. > :26:53.patchy drizzle. For many place, it hardly even touches the ground. Many

:26:54. > :26:56.places will stay dry. There will be some spells of sunshine. So it is

:26:57. > :27:01.the half way house between the fabulous weather of today and the

:27:02. > :27:10.poorer conditions through Wednesday. But the numbers are still good. 13

:27:11. > :27:12.or 14 degrees. There are three donkeys waiting for you! I'm glad

:27:13. > :27:16.you said that. And finally tonight a vicar

:27:17. > :27:18.in Chorley is looking for a donkey It seems that donkeys aren't

:27:19. > :27:24.as popular as they used to be So if you have one and can help

:27:25. > :27:27.the Reverend Martin Whiffen then send us an e-mail and we

:27:28. > :27:41.can put you in touch. I bet we do get someone. We will

:27:42. > :27:47.have a viewer with a donkey. Good night.
