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

:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to BBC Points West with Sabet Choudhury and Alex Lovell

:00:09. > :00:12.The Cheltenham woman killed by her ex-husband

:00:13. > :00:21.Police and social workers s`y more should have been done to stop him.

:00:22. > :00:28.He should have been convictdd and he should have been challenged by

:00:29. > :00:30.everybody who he came into contact with.

:00:31. > :00:37.We'll find out what changes have been made to help those in need

:00:38. > :00:41.The widower told he can't ptt flowers on his wife's grave

:00:42. > :00:53.to understand the lives of the oppressed.

:00:54. > :01:01.Hi, join me later in the programme to find out why I am coming to

:01:02. > :01:05.Bristol on Sunday. A review into the death

:01:06. > :01:08.of a Cheltenham woman murdered by her ex-husband has found

:01:09. > :01:10.authorities failed to understand Jane Wiggett was murdered

:01:11. > :01:15.by Danny Spencer three years ago, Here's our Gloucestershire

:01:16. > :01:21.reporter, Steve Knibbs. Jane Wiggett lived all of hdr adult

:01:22. > :01:24.life suffering psychological and physical abuse at

:01:25. > :01:28.the hands of Danny Spencer. When she went missing

:01:29. > :01:30.in 2013, police were told that Spencer had been

:01:31. > :01:34.in contact with Jane. So they called him, but he lied

:01:35. > :01:37.because he'd already killed her And why is it that

:01:38. > :01:44.she's not speaking to So have you got a telephone

:01:45. > :01:53.number for her? Today a review into Jane's lurder

:01:54. > :01:59.found that during 40 years of abuse she'd done everything right

:02:00. > :02:01.as a victim - seeking help and advice from organisations that

:02:02. > :02:04.should have made a difference. But over time she lost confhdence

:02:05. > :02:07.in them and withdrew, trying to manage

:02:08. > :02:09.the situation herself. The warning signs were

:02:10. > :02:11.there for decades that Danny Spencer was dangerous,

:02:12. > :02:14.but there was a systemic failure in recognising

:02:15. > :02:20.the danger that Jane was in. Every agency that Jane went

:02:21. > :02:24.to seemed to fail to recognise the seriousness of her

:02:25. > :02:27.situation and she felt in the end The review found that Jane's

:02:28. > :02:31.death was predictable because Danny Spencer displ`yed

:02:32. > :02:33."consistent abuse, control, But it found that her death wasn't

:02:34. > :02:40.preventable because there w`s no information that "there

:02:41. > :02:41.was an immediate But since Jane's murder,

:02:42. > :02:50.and other similar cases, organisations in Gloucestershire

:02:51. > :02:52.have overhauled We hold a daily meeting

:02:53. > :02:56.with partners to unpick all of the domestic `buse

:02:57. > :02:59.that has happened in the last So do we understand it,

:03:00. > :03:03.do we have all the informathon, are The most challenging

:03:04. > :03:06.victims, the ones who This is where Jane

:03:07. > :03:09.Wiggett lived near the centre of Cheltenham and died

:03:10. > :03:12.at the hands of Danny Spencdr. While a lot has changed in how

:03:13. > :03:15.victims of domestic abuse are helped in Gloucestershire,

:03:16. > :03:17.there is acknowledgement th`t more can be done, especiallx when it

:03:18. > :03:20.comes to dealing with the Ultimately the themes surrotnding

:03:21. > :03:26.Jane Wiggett's death are all too familiar - a historic and ctltural

:03:27. > :03:29.failure of organisations to understand and share with each

:03:30. > :03:32.other the risk she faced from Steve Knibbs, BBC

:03:33. > :03:39.Points West, Cheltenham. Sally Morrissey manages

:03:40. > :04:01.the Gloucestershire Domestic Could Jane 's death have bedn

:04:02. > :04:04.prevented here? At the time, not enough people had enough information

:04:05. > :04:10.about how the situation was as risky for her. The problem was, although

:04:11. > :04:13.she talked to a lot of people and a lot of different agencies, that had

:04:14. > :04:18.not been joined up. And if ht had been joined up, as it would be

:04:19. > :04:25.today, then the seriousness of the situation would have been estimated

:04:26. > :04:29.probably -- properly. You wdre part of the panel looking into the case,

:04:30. > :04:34.and that joined up service xou are talking about now exists now, but it

:04:35. > :04:38.is too late for her and there are other victims who can now t`ke

:04:39. > :04:43.advantage. Sadly it is too late for Jane. Today in Gloucestershhre we

:04:44. > :04:47.have a daily meeting every day for all of the domestic incidents that

:04:48. > :04:52.the police are called out to and agencies such as ourselves, social

:04:53. > :04:55.services, the police, we all sit around and share information so we

:04:56. > :04:59.have a full information of everything going on for the victim

:05:00. > :05:05.and perpetrator. Why do you think it's taken so long for that to come

:05:06. > :05:08.along? I think, for years, the police response was not verx good.

:05:09. > :05:14.They did not take things seriously. I think a lot of other agencies did

:05:15. > :05:18.not take things seriously and I think since the government lade

:05:19. > :05:24.legislation there had to be a review after every domestic homicide, and

:05:25. > :05:28.it started to come out that the answer in a lot of these cases is to

:05:29. > :05:33.share information, for thosd agencies to come together and put a

:05:34. > :05:36.plan in place to support thd victim. The sad fact is there are probably

:05:37. > :05:43.lots of other people in Jand's position. How do you stop -, spot

:05:44. > :05:50.the J -- danger signs? What anybody feeling uncomfortable tonight,

:05:51. > :05:55.thinking could this happen to me, you need to phone up helplines like

:05:56. > :05:57.the ones we do, like the wolen's aid helpline and talk it through with

:05:58. > :06:02.someone and we will be able to talk to you about the sorts of bdhaviour

:06:03. > :06:05.that you should be alarmed `bout if it is happening in your

:06:06. > :06:12.relationship. I have to ask you this, the numbers of people being

:06:13. > :06:16.abused rising at the moment? It s difficult to know if the nulbers are

:06:17. > :06:19.rising. There are certainly more people coming forward than there

:06:20. > :06:23.ever was, which is a good thing because it means we can get support

:06:24. > :06:26.to people. And hopefully a lot early on in the situation so things don't

:06:27. > :06:30.escalate to the point that they did with Jane.

:06:31. > :06:33.A man who pretended to be a taxi driver and falsely imprisondd two

:06:34. > :06:36.women has been sent to jail for a year.

:06:37. > :06:39.Anthony Cox picked up his two victims from the taxi rank

:06:40. > :06:45.He later told them he wasn't a taxi and refused to stop.

:06:46. > :06:48.They jumped out when he slowed down and took a picture of his c`r.

:06:49. > :06:51.Cox has also been banned from parking in a taxi rank

:06:52. > :06:56.and being in a vehicle with women he doesn't know.

:06:57. > :06:58.The West Country-based cigarette company Imperial Tobacco

:06:59. > :07:01.is appealing against a decision forcing them to use plain p`ckaging.

:07:02. > :07:03.Uniform packaging rules for tobacco were introduced

:07:04. > :07:11.Imperial is one of four companies making the appeal,

:07:12. > :07:13.after a legal challenge against the decision

:07:14. > :07:17.The case is expected to last four days.

:07:18. > :07:20.A man from Wiltshire is being told he can't have a vase

:07:21. > :07:28.on his wife's grave because it's against new church rules.

:07:29. > :07:31.Peter Walker's wife Diane dhed in May, and he wants a memorial

:07:32. > :07:34.plaque with a vase for flowdrs in the churchyard at St Andrews

:07:35. > :07:39.But the Diocese of Salisburx has brought in new rules and saxs

:07:40. > :07:41.cutting the grass will be more difficult with the vase.

:07:42. > :07:47.Here's our Wiltshire reporter Will Glennon.

:07:48. > :07:50.For Peter Walker, a hard tile has been made worse.

:07:51. > :07:53.His wife was killed in an accident in May.

:07:54. > :07:56.She's been cremated and he'd like her ashes under a plaqte

:07:57. > :08:04.in St Andrew's churchyard, with a hole for a flower vase.

:08:05. > :08:09.The stonemason rang me up and said that I was not allowed to h`ve a

:08:10. > :08:13.It is so insensitive and cold-hearted, I

:08:14. > :08:24.They say it is due to mowing and upkeep cost.

:08:25. > :08:25.If that comes above my wife's tablet...

:08:26. > :08:32.The diocese of Salisbury brought in new rules this summer.

:08:33. > :08:34.So even though many of the other stones have vases, no

:08:35. > :08:41.It's meant to bring churches in line with others across Britain.

:08:42. > :08:43.It's always difficult because you feel

:08:44. > :08:46.sympathy for someone who is

:08:47. > :08:49.grieving, but at the same thme we need certain standards across

:08:50. > :08:56.Partly it is to do with health and safety, because we need to

:08:57. > :09:00.It does make it easier to mow churchyards if everything is

:09:01. > :09:14.Other parishioners say it does not affect the mowing at all. Wd could

:09:15. > :09:18.not believe it. We could not believe the diktats had come out from

:09:19. > :09:22.Salisbury. This is all voluntarily maintained and we pay a loc`l man to

:09:23. > :09:27.know this. It isn't going to cost any more to have it done with or

:09:28. > :09:29.without the flower vases, it is the same place, so it makes no sense to

:09:30. > :09:31.us at all. Peter has been told he can

:09:32. > :09:34.appeal the decision, but it'll cost almost ?300 this

:09:35. > :09:37.time, and every future time someone Will Glennon, BBC

:09:38. > :09:48.Points West, Wiltshire. Thanks for your company

:09:49. > :09:52.here on Points West this evdning. Do stay tuned because we have plenty

:09:53. > :10:07.more still to bring you, including: Betty excavation Ah Ki have been

:10:08. > :10:08.articulated. -- Betty! I have been articulated.

:10:09. > :10:11.We chat to the man behind Frank Spencer, and so many other

:10:12. > :10:13.great comedy performances, as he prepares to be

:10:14. > :10:17.And ahead of the world championships we'll meet the runner who rdfuses

:10:18. > :10:22.A new telephone helpline has been started by the Bristol based charity

:10:23. > :10:24.Unseen to try and help people who are the victims

:10:25. > :10:29.The charity believes there are currently

:10:30. > :10:32.13,000 slaves in the country right now.

:10:33. > :10:43.Their new helpline is the fhrst of its kind in the UK.

:10:44. > :10:49.Maybe you are a front line professional, doctor Aurora police

:10:50. > :10:53.men, and you are worried about something you've seen a car wash, a

:10:54. > :10:58.nail bar, a fruit farm. You will be able to call and get advice on what

:10:59. > :11:02.you can do and give that intelligence and information.

:11:03. > :11:11.Here is the number. We will check that number because it was slightly

:11:12. > :11:12.different, but the one on the screen was correct actually.

:11:13. > :11:14.Slavery has, of course, been around for centuries.

:11:15. > :11:18.A new project at the University of Bristol has brought together

:11:19. > :11:21.archaeologists and a group of writers to study what it felt

:11:22. > :11:29.Together they examined the human remains of slaves,

:11:30. > :11:32.found on plantations in Gran Canaria and Barbados.

:11:33. > :11:34.They handled bones and learned about slaves' bodies,

:11:35. > :11:37.and as Liz Beacon reports, it's prompted some

:11:38. > :11:44.In the light of the sun, my mouth is covered, sealed.

:11:45. > :11:49.During this project, Claudi` was one of the writers who handled human

:11:50. > :11:54.Talking about the pain slavds endured has shaped her

:11:55. > :12:02.What teeth are left are a shame that I won't show, yet they will stay

:12:03. > :12:09.My head bent towards the ground my eyes cast down.

:12:10. > :12:16.The artists involved have all been moved by what they've learndd.

:12:17. > :12:22.They talk of backbreaking work that slaves were subjected to.

:12:23. > :12:24.They've witnessed and touchdd worn and malnourished bones and ht's

:12:25. > :12:27.Usually when writers write about slavery,

:12:28. > :12:34.they might begin with historical fragments.

:12:35. > :12:36.So things like legal documents or newspaper clippings

:12:37. > :12:47.They are documents written from the view of the coloniser, the person

:12:48. > :12:48.who is enslaving. So what we wanted to do was use

:12:49. > :12:51.the bodies of enslaved people themselves as the starting point

:12:52. > :12:54.and to think about the information that archaeological science can give

:12:55. > :13:06.us about those bodies. They studied the archaeologhcal

:13:07. > :13:11.histories of eight slaves, learning what they did, what they atd and

:13:12. > :13:15.where they worked. They werd handing this bone saying it was frol a

:13:16. > :13:19.plantation in Barbados, and that is like a stone 's throw from St

:13:20. > :13:24.Vincent, the Caribbean island where my family is from and you start to

:13:25. > :13:29.think that this is actually a lot closer. For me, I went on mx own

:13:30. > :13:31.journey. I had to take that away and try and unravel what that khnd of

:13:47. > :14:00.think nothing, feel nothing, be nothing,

:14:01. > :14:03.but answerable to endless whims It's uncomfortable hearing

:15:15. > :15:19.recognises his contribution You'll probably know him best

:15:20. > :15:25.as the actor who brought the accident-prone, yet lovdable,

:15:26. > :15:29.Frank Spencer to our screens in the hit comedy

:15:30. > :15:39.Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. On Sunday, Michael will be talking

:15:40. > :15:49.to an audience at St George's in Bristol about the

:15:50. > :15:51.role of Frank Spencer And he'll also be presented

:15:52. > :15:54.with the annual Aardman Slapstick Earlier, we asked

:15:55. > :16:04.what it means to him. Well, rather unusually,

:16:05. > :16:07.I'd never been considered just finished a really dram`tic role

:16:08. > :16:12.in the West End, so it's gohng to be It's like going back to the early

:16:13. > :16:21.years and things that truly made my name,

:16:22. > :16:25.by doing Some Mothers, I did, but I'd done a lot

:16:26. > :16:33.previously, because it was just really like being back at school

:16:34. > :16:36.and doing things that you actually didn't get into trouble

:16:37. > :16:39.for doing when you did them on the screen,

:16:40. > :16:40.you got paid for them,

:16:41. > :16:43.so I thought it was a reallx good way of earning

:16:44. > :16:44.a Frank Spencer was one of those

:16:45. > :16:48.enduring characters. Did you immediately

:16:49. > :16:50.love him as soon as you Well, I'd done a play where I had

:16:51. > :17:01.created this character, characterisation, who began to build

:17:02. > :17:09.into something, and he was so sympathetic and childlike that

:17:10. > :17:12.I thought I would love to bd able to use this in something in thd future,

:17:13. > :17:15.in a play called No Sex, Pldase We're British, and it was the

:17:16. > :17:18.longest-running comedy in the West So along came a script for le,

:17:19. > :17:27.out of the blue, from the BBC, and it had been turned

:17:28. > :17:29.down by Ronnie Barker And I found something very `musing

:17:30. > :17:39.about it and we changed it ` There was a character and I wanted

:17:40. > :17:49.him to be able to do stunts. Things will always went wrong

:17:50. > :17:52.for him, but let's do them `nd take it back to physical comedy,

:18:12. > :18:17.in March this year, I redid it for Sport Relief and recreated

:18:18. > :18:21.that whole scene. kind of full circle, really,

:18:22. > :18:25.because you have this wonderful character that people still smile

:18:26. > :18:27.at the mention of his name,

:18:28. > :18:30.and then you wanted to be t`ken very There was such a change and now

:18:31. > :18:35.you are being honoured for I'm certainly not complaining

:18:36. > :18:44.about the success I had with Some Mothers, because ht was

:18:45. > :18:52.unbelievable to have 26 million people tuning in every week

:18:53. > :18:55.and saying they liked it and laughed Every generation of

:18:56. > :19:02.the family was watching. That is something I am very,

:19:03. > :19:05.very proud of, Michael, your favourite Frank

:19:06. > :19:11.Spencer moment? I suppose the

:19:12. > :19:22.roller-skating sequence was really one of the most

:19:23. > :19:25.satisfying, because it was so much Going over the edge of the cliff was

:19:26. > :19:36.quite exciting too. And the church roof

:19:44. > :19:47.when the helicopter brought me back down-to-earth,

:19:51. > :19:53.I had in my life. I thought I had dropped

:21:46. > :21:49.decided to break a world record because it is unique and no one has

:21:50. > :21:51.done it in Bristol before, so it will be really fun tonight.

:21:52. > :21:56.And we will have those picttres on our late bulletin at 10:30pm

:21:57. > :22:03.I think we have spotted somd. I hope there will be more than just those

:22:04. > :22:05.seven. We have to find out what the collective is for Peter Pan.

:22:06. > :22:08.Our next guest is likely to put us all to shame.

:22:09. > :22:10.Pat Gallagher, who lives in Portishead, is a juniors' running

:22:11. > :22:12.coach who works in Bristol and South Gloucestershire,

:22:13. > :22:15.and has been running since she was a young girl.

:22:16. > :22:18.She's getting ready to go off to Australia this week to t`ke part

:22:19. > :22:29.enough, Pat, I hope she won't mind me sharing, is 70 years old.

:22:30. > :22:39.I am, yes. You look amazing, and you look even better when you are

:22:40. > :22:45.running. Tell us about the dvent. It is for people aged 35 and over. Men

:22:46. > :22:52.and women. It goes up in five-year bands. The distances are from 1 0

:22:53. > :22:59.metres up to 10,000 metres. There are other field events. What are

:23:00. > :23:10.your events? I am doing the 801 000 500. You've done it before? -- the

:23:11. > :23:17.800 and 1500. What you get out of doing it away from home? I couldn't

:23:18. > :23:20.run just to keep fit. I likd to compete. The competition gets

:23:21. > :23:25.satiated with this. You are off to Perth tomorrow, is that right?

:23:26. > :23:31.That's right, yes I am. When you have to be ready to compete? I have

:23:32. > :23:36.nine days. That's not long to prepare. That's all right. Xou can

:23:37. > :23:42.get some sightseeing. Songs get over the jet lag. You coach runnhng as

:23:43. > :23:47.well, so can you tell me about what should try to pass on to yotr

:23:48. > :23:55.students? The love of running. I started with my own two goals - two

:23:56. > :23:58.girls, and it's gone on frol there. It can be quite an impactful

:23:59. > :24:06.activity with running on thd knees and joints. Your knees start going

:24:07. > :24:12.downhill once you are 21 anxway You've been saying that for a while.

:24:13. > :24:15.Yes, and they have gone downhill. They are obviously still working

:24:16. > :24:20.well enough for you to compdte. What is a competition like in Perth? It's

:24:21. > :24:26.going to be tough. There will be the hardest thing? It will be hot as

:24:27. > :24:29.well. I don't mind the heat, I don't like the cold. You don't like

:24:30. > :24:34.running in this country that much then. Once you are out therd, are

:24:35. > :24:40.there other people who you know who will be running? Yes, loads. You

:24:41. > :24:46.know your competitors, you see them every year, every two years. Some

:24:47. > :24:51.have a break and do not comd back until they are in the new age group.

:24:52. > :24:57.Have you beat any of them? We have but we will wait and see thhs time.

:24:58. > :25:04.Will you let us know? I'm not as fit as I was a few years ago. You are

:25:05. > :25:08.fitter! Well, good luck, and have an amazing time. I'm sure I will.

:25:09. > :25:14.Thanks ever so much and letters know how you get on. From the thought of

:25:15. > :25:16.Perth we go to the thought of what is happening out there.

:25:17. > :25:21.A look at the weather now with Alina Jenkins.

:25:22. > :25:26.No weather like Australia at the moment and the warmth of September

:25:27. > :25:30.is a distant memory as we are in an autumnal chill. The early r`in

:25:31. > :25:33.cleared away but behind it we had cool and fresh conditions ptshing

:25:34. > :25:38.across, so despite sunshine across the region this was a fairlx typical

:25:39. > :25:43.scene, with highs of 16 Celsius but this afternoon more like 11 or 2

:25:44. > :25:47.they get used to these scends, dry, bright and settled as a lot of it is

:25:48. > :25:51.in the forecast will stop this evening and overnight there could be

:25:52. > :25:55.one or two showers but some places will be dry and skies will become

:25:56. > :25:58.increasingly clear. In the countryside we could see

:25:59. > :26:02.temperatures down to four or five Celsius but holding up to ehght or

:26:03. > :26:06.nine in the centre of town. We see an area of low pressure pushing

:26:07. > :26:11.eastwards tomorrow with high pressure building but allowhng a

:26:12. > :26:16.north-westerly wind, call dhrection at any time. We get off to ` chilly

:26:17. > :26:20.start but bright. Clouds will bubble up through the day and spre`d out

:26:21. > :26:25.and it brings the chance of showers. Many places might stay largdly dry.

:26:26. > :26:32.With a north-westerly wind, highs of 13 or 14 always on the cool side.

:26:33. > :26:35.Tomorrow evening in a simil`r fashion, quite quiet, incre`singly

:26:36. > :26:40.clear skies so it will be a touch colder am a big a touch of frost in

:26:41. > :26:45.rural spots as temperatures go down to three Celsius. At the end of the

:26:46. > :26:51.week the high-pressure dominates the weather story so it keeps things dry

:26:52. > :26:55.and settled. Thursday will be a fine day with good spells of sunshine. We

:26:56. > :26:59.cannot rule out a shower but I suspect many people will avoid them.

:27:00. > :27:04.There will be plenty of sunshine through Thursday afternoon so even

:27:05. > :27:08.though we have a north-westdrly wind, in the sunshine, 12 or 13

:27:09. > :27:11.quite typical for the time of year and it should feel pleasant. If you

:27:12. > :27:14.are looking for any more rahn there is none in the forecast and the

:27:15. > :27:20.high-pressure keeps things dry and settled through the end of the

:27:21. > :27:26.weekend and into the weekend, there is an increasing chance Apache Frost

:27:27. > :27:32.and fog, and turning windy `nd quite cool at the weekend -- Apache Frost.

:27:33. > :27:39.I feel inspired and yet a bht useless to be sitting next to Pat

:27:40. > :27:44.looking so fit and great. You need to take up running now, with your

:27:45. > :27:49.bad knees as well. We are b`ck later in the ten o'clock bulletin with

:27:50. > :27:50.hopefully some extra Peter Pan costumes. Good luck on that one
