:00:49. > :00:51.We'll be hearing from some very special guests, including the sixth
:00:52. > :00:54.Doctor, Colin Baker, who says the reality of time travel could be
:00:55. > :00:58.rather unglamorous. Gosh, the TARDIS has had a battering over the years.

:01:21. > :01:24.Good evening. A retired butcher from Kent has
:01:25. > :01:27.today been jailed for three years for sexually abusing a teenage girl
:01:28. > :01:31.in the 1980s. 69`year`old Graham Cooper was selected to run a leg of
:01:32. > :01:34.the Olympic torch relay in 2012. But his victim was so angry about it
:01:35. > :01:42.that she contacted the police. Fiona Irving reports.
:01:43. > :01:48.The honour of carrying the Olympic flame. Graham Cooper was chosen to
:01:49. > :01:53.take part in the 2012 torch relay because of his standing in the
:01:54. > :02:02.community. It was this that court heard the victim was incensed by. It
:02:03. > :02:06.was a person that was apparently respectable within the community in
:02:07. > :02:12.which he lived. All the while, he has had a very dark secret. That
:02:13. > :02:15.secret was that an innocent victim of crime has been living with this
:02:16. > :02:21.trauma for more than 30 years. And he has been living with that secret
:02:22. > :02:26.himself. Which is abhorrent. The abuse started in the early 1980s
:02:27. > :02:32.when the victim was ten years old. In sentencing, the judge told Cooper
:02:33. > :02:37.that he had perverted and distorted views. She said one victim gave
:02:38. > :02:37.evidence, it was apparent to everyone that I everyone th
:02:38. > :02:42.everyone that your sexual abuse of how had a profound and long`lasting
:02:43. > :02:50.effect. She told him it has damaged her life. The consequences of these
:02:51. > :02:55.crimes lives in the memory of the victim often for many decades, often
:02:56. > :02:59.for the rest of their lives. It is absolutely appropriate that these
:03:00. > :02:59.perpetrators are brought to justice and all I and all
:03:00. > :03:05.and all credit to pleas for doing that. Victim had gone to Kent Police
:03:06. > :03:10.about Cooper more than 20 years ago. But no charges were brought.
:03:11. > :03:17.Clearly, we should have done more. But we are pleased that we are leaps
:03:18. > :03:23.and bounds beyond 20 years ago. And the effort we put into investigating
:03:24. > :03:27.child abuse, it is exponentially greater. In terms of the effect we
:03:28. > :03:31.can have on investigations and bringing them to court. Cooper had
:03:32. > :03:35.been expecting a knock on the door from the police for 30 years. The
:03:36. > :03:39.man who received cheers from the crowds when he carried the Olympic
:03:40. > :03:43.flame was today sentenced to three years in prison.
:03:44. > :03:47.Drivers who are caught drinking or taking drugs behind the wheel this
:03:48. > :03:51.Christmas will be named and shamed by Sussex Police. It's the first
:03:52. > :03:55.time the force has taken this step, which it says is aimed at preventing
:03:56. > :04:03.avoidable tragedies. Well, our reporter Mark Sanders joins us now
:04:04. > :04:07.live from Brighton. Sussex police say this is
:04:08. > :04:10.proactive. Most people will understand it as naming and shaming
:04:11. > :04:15.motorists caught behind the wheel either drunk or high on drugs.
:04:16. > :04:19.Sussex police have never tried this before. They have been monitoring ``
:04:20. > :04:23.they will be monitoring this over Christmas to see if it works. If you
:04:24. > :04:26.are caught drinking and driving in Sussex, it won't be a matter between
:04:27. > :04:30.you and the police. Every single motorist charged after
:04:31. > :04:33.drinking or taking drugs over the Christmas period will have their
:04:34. > :04:39.name and address published by the force. This year, with the drink and
:04:40. > :04:44.drugs issue, we want everybody, family members, children, partners,
:04:45. > :04:47.everybody to know so that they can also consider if somebody is about
:04:48. > :04:51.to drink and drive that they can say, don't do it. Sussex police
:04:52. > :04:55.acknowledge this is a controversial tactic. The force wants to kick
:04:56. > :04:59.start a debate about drunk driving ahead of Christmas and wants naming
:05:00. > :05:02.and shaming to act as a genuine deterrent. Drink`driving offences
:05:03. > :05:08.recorded differently in Sussex Kent and Surrey. In Sussex, in December
:05:09. > :05:11.2012, nearly 4,000 motorists were breathalysed and 128 people were
:05:12. > :05:14.arrested for drink driving offences. Over the entire year, 58 people were
:05:15. > :05:17.killed or seriously injured on Sussex's roads, where one or more
:05:18. > :05:24.drivers were under the influence of alcohol. The police can give to the
:05:25. > :05:29.media the names and addresses of people charged with an offence but
:05:30. > :05:33.it is the first time Sussex's proactively disclosing the details
:05:34. > :05:38.of everyone who will appear before a court accused of being intoxicated
:05:39. > :05:43.behind the wheel. Is naming and shaming appropriate? Once they have
:05:44. > :05:47.been convicted, Ther enough. I'm not sure about before conviction. It
:05:48. > :05:53.will be a real deterrent and we needed. I don't think anything else
:05:54. > :05:59.works. Justice has already been done via the courts. That should be
:06:00. > :06:04.enough. And I think it could lead to retribution. Sussex's Police and
:06:05. > :06:10.Crime Commissioner has backed the move, saying it is right for those
:06:11. > :06:16.who break the law to be publicly identified. As well as naming and
:06:17. > :06:20.shaming, those who will be charged, officers will be tweeting about
:06:21. > :06:22.drink`driving, giving brief details such as when and where someone was
:06:23. > :06:30.pulled over. In a moment. Remembering JFK. 50
:06:31. > :06:34.years after his assassination, we hear from people in the South East
:06:35. > :06:40.who knew and revered the US President.
:06:41. > :06:43.Two people who were involved in horrific car crashes which killed
:06:44. > :06:46.their fellow passengers have been speaking at a special event in Kent
:06:47. > :06:49.today to highlight the perils of dangerous driving. Alaina Cowell and
:06:50. > :06:53.Spencer Aston were seriously injured in separate incidents in Kent a few
:06:54. > :06:56.years ago. It comes as new statistics show that almost a third
:06:57. > :07:02.of all people killed or seriously hurt in cars on the county's roads
:07:03. > :07:06.are aged between 16 and 24. This report by Charlie Rose contains
:07:07. > :07:10.images you may find disturbing. These images give you an idea of
:07:11. > :07:13.what happened to Alaina Cowell when the car she was travelling in
:07:14. > :07:22.collided with a lorry. She wasn't wearing a seat belt. I fractured my
:07:23. > :07:30.leg in three places, shattered my left wrist, and broke my forearm.
:07:31. > :07:35.And I broke almost every bone in my face. It had to be reconstructed.
:07:36. > :07:41.Two other passengers lost their lives. The driver was jailed for
:07:42. > :07:45.dangerous driving. Spencer's story is just as horrific. The driver of
:07:46. > :07:49.the car he was in had only passed his test a week earlier. A guy in
:07:50. > :07:56.the front seat, who was unfortunately killed, and my friend
:07:57. > :08:02.in the back`seat, he got an injury in his face, and he's got slight
:08:03. > :08:06.behavioural difficulties. And I was left in a very deep coma. In recent
:08:07. > :08:10.years, almost a third of all people killed or seriously hurt in cars on
:08:11. > :08:13.Kent's roads have been aged between 16 and 24. In response, the County
:08:14. > :08:16.Council launched this hard`hitting campaign, encouraging young people
:08:17. > :08:21.to speak up they think the car they're in is being driven
:08:22. > :08:28.irresponsibly. Now the authority says the number of deaths and
:08:29. > :08:34.injuries are falling. The figures that the council have produced have
:08:35. > :08:40.shown it has cut accidents, injuries and so on amongst young people by a
:08:41. > :08:43.little over 30%. That is a tremendous start. And today the
:08:44. > :08:49.council was presented with a road safety award. The aim now is to keep
:08:50. > :08:53.casualty numbers falling. A sixth person has been charged in
:08:54. > :08:57.connection with the murder of a man found dead on a beach on the Isle of
:08:58. > :09:00.Sheppey. 34`year`old Gary Pocock's body was found at Warden Bay in
:09:01. > :09:04.Leysdown in August. He died from significant head injuries. Five men
:09:05. > :09:11.have already been charged with his murder.
:09:12. > :09:14.A proposal to encourage off`licences to stop selling high`strength beers
:09:15. > :09:16.has been unanimously passed by Brighton and Hove's Licensing
:09:17. > :09:20.Committee. As part of the Sensible on Strength campaign, any shop
:09:21. > :09:25.owners who choose to sign up won't sell beer, lager or cider above 6%
:09:26. > :09:40.strength. Over 60 off`licences have already volunteered. ?? new line I
:09:41. > :09:43.can remember exactly where I was. That's the phrase famously linked to
:09:44. > :09:47.the assassination of President John F Kennedy 50 years ago today, 22nd
:09:48. > :09:49.November 1963. He was seen across the world as the new hope of
:09:50. > :09:53.America, inspirational, attractive, in touch. Robin Gibson has been
:09:54. > :09:59.speaking to two south east figures who knew and revered JFK, to find
:10:00. > :10:05.out what his death meant to them. Some of the pictures in the report
:10:06. > :10:08.are disturbing. It was glamorous, colourful, exciting.
:10:09. > :10:13.It was actually the President and first Lady just coming to Dallas for
:10:14. > :10:17.lunch. But it had the whole place is buzzing, everyone wanted to be
:10:18. > :10:21.there. The death of the President that day has set the whole world
:10:22. > :10:33.buzzing, still questioning 50 years later. Why? What possesses people?
:10:34. > :10:37.Sir Robert Worcester, founder of the Mori poll, seasoned political
:10:38. > :10:43.commentator and analyst is still haunted by it. You talk to me about
:10:44. > :10:46.the day he met JFK. It was 1957, and he had been sent to bring the
:10:47. > :10:53.senator and his wife to a press reception. I answered the door, he
:10:54. > :11:01.was in his shorts. And his shirt. He was dressing for the lunch. And he
:11:02. > :11:06.said, "come in! " That is how I met the future president. That
:11:07. > :11:09.irresistible charm worked its magic on the people of Sussex the year
:11:10. > :11:15.before when Kennedy came here to meet the Prime Minister. It was the
:11:16. > :11:20.same year he sat next to a young English model invited to dinner at
:11:21. > :11:25.the White House. He was flirting, chatting, answering the telephone
:11:26. > :11:29.every few minutes is, but he picked up the conversation exactly where he
:11:30. > :11:37.had left it off. When you think what was going on! It was the Cuban
:11:38. > :11:41.missile crisis, the subject of the phonecalls. 50 years later, now the
:11:42. > :11:45.wife of the former Conservative leader Michael Howard, she remembers
:11:46. > :11:51.where she was the day the president was shot. I was working for a
:11:52. > :11:55.wonderful photographer in New York. She was very moved when she heard it
:11:56. > :12:02.coming through on her radio. She said, "we can't carry on." A man who
:12:03. > :12:07.touched millions who never knew him, a man who inspired those who did.
:12:08. > :12:20.Flawed in some ways, but basically a very decent man. All our Football
:12:21. > :12:23.League sides are in action tomorrow following the international break.
:12:24. > :12:28.Charlton athletic face QPR have lost only once in the league this season.
:12:29. > :12:33.Brighton and Hove Albion travel to Wigan, a team above them in the
:12:34. > :12:39.table. Gillian, who knocked out of the FA Cup, take on old, and Crawley
:12:40. > :12:43.are at home to Walsall. Now, tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of
:12:44. > :12:46.the broadcast of the first`ever episode of Doctor Who and we are
:12:47. > :12:52.celebrating with a very special event tonight. We are screaming that
:12:53. > :12:55.very first episode at the Kings Hall in Herne Bay, and Rob Smith's there
:12:56. > :13:03.for us. The Doctor was born right there in Herne Bay.
:13:04. > :13:08.He was. We are at the Kings Hall in Herne Bay. This is like that hard
:13:09. > :13:12.this. This is the lobby, the hall, and it's magnificent. 500 people
:13:13. > :13:16.here this evening, they are all here to celebrate the connections we have
:13:17. > :13:21.with Doctor Who. He was born on to two, he is 900 years old comedy
:13:22. > :13:25.regenerates from time to time, but the man who wrote the first episode
:13:26. > :13:38.was called Anthony Cockburn. This is the time where he lived. `` Anthony
:13:39. > :13:45.Coburn. We will be showing the first ever episode the Unearthly Child
:13:46. > :13:49.later on. Doctor Who is still running, people are still excited by
:13:50. > :13:54.it, and it is the world's biggest and longest running science fiction
:13:55. > :14:05.show. We will be having a chat with two people involved with that first
:14:06. > :14:09.ever episode, Caroline Ford, and Waris Hussein, who directed it. But
:14:10. > :14:18.first, Peter Whittlesea looks back at the origins of Dr Who, and its
:14:19. > :14:26.birth in Herne Bay. I've had many faces, many lives. A global
:14:27. > :14:31.phenomenon. Tomorrow night's anniversary episode will be
:14:32. > :14:37.simulcast in 75 countries and shown in 3D in hundreds of cinema 's
:14:38. > :14:43.worldwide. Susan and I are cut off from our own planet. One day, we
:14:44. > :14:48.shall get back. It is a long way from humble origins in Kent.
:14:49. > :14:57.Australian born Anthony Cockburn scripted the first episode in Herne
:14:58. > :15:03.Bay. He was very important. He understood the possibilities for a
:15:04. > :15:09.Doctor Who and for the story. It seemed lacking ordinary tale about a
:15:10. > :15:14.grandfather. So you didn't quite know. Then there was the magical
:15:15. > :15:20.moment of realising that, wow, this is a science`fiction TV programme,
:15:21. > :15:24.and a box that can travel through time. He wrote the first two stories
:15:25. > :15:29.in Herne Bay. The second one never saw the light of day. It was
:15:30. > :15:36.scrapped at the last minute. It was replaced by an adventure called the
:15:37. > :15:44.Daleks. The rest, as they say, is history. It was his first script
:15:45. > :15:53.which introduced the time travelling police box. And a mysterious alien,
:15:54. > :15:58.the doctor. This first episode is significant because it sets up the
:15:59. > :16:03.whole basis of the programme and the character of the doctor. The
:16:04. > :16:07.programme is called Doctor Who. What to this day, he's still a mystery,
:16:08. > :16:14.we don't know everything about him. Some people think of him as being a
:16:15. > :16:17.benevolent James Bond, some people in America think he has a religious
:16:18. > :16:23.dimensional. I used to think of him, really, as Tom Baker. A
:16:24. > :16:25.would`be clown, but who was kind, and who didn't know anything about
:16:26. > :16:36.girls. 50 years on, we have the same
:16:37. > :16:42.character, even if the face has changed 11 times. Let's raise a
:16:43. > :16:44.glass to Anthony Cockburn, the birth of a legend and the Herne Bay
:16:45. > :16:55.connection. While many things have changed and
:16:56. > :17:00.regenerated, some things have been constant. The TARDIS, everybody
:17:01. > :17:05.knows. The Daleks, they made their appearance in the first series. And
:17:06. > :17:10.two people intimately connected with that first series, Caroline Ford and
:17:11. > :17:16.Waris Hussein. You played Susan in the first ever episode. Isn't it
:17:17. > :17:22.incredible that 50 years on people are excited by it? It is amazing.
:17:23. > :17:27.Over the year, it has built up and built up, but it is amazing to me.
:17:28. > :17:32.Any time anybody says to me 50 years ago, oh, my God. What are your
:17:33. > :17:36.memories of making that programme? Did you know it was going to be
:17:37. > :17:40.special? Of course we didn't. We thought it was special but we didn't
:17:41. > :17:44.realise it was going to be so spectacularly successful. But it was
:17:45. > :17:49.good fun. It was always wonderful to do because we had such a wonderful
:17:50. > :17:54.team of people and we got on with each other happily with a lot of
:17:55. > :18:02.laughs. And it was just... A challenge! Waris Hussein, you were
:18:03. > :18:09.24 at the time. Absolutely. It was your first acting job. It must've
:18:10. > :18:14.been scary. It was scary. I directed with my heart in my mouth,
:18:15. > :18:19.thinking, when am I going to make my first mistake? We had no idea, as
:18:20. > :18:26.Carol Ann Ford has just said. Did you have much idea what you are
:18:27. > :18:31.doing? I had to go along with what was given to me. You can imagine, I
:18:32. > :18:35.had a script that dealt with cavemen, dealing with people in
:18:36. > :18:39.furs, and saying monosyllabic dialogue and I had to make sense of
:18:40. > :18:43.it. The main thing is that the opening episode needed to be and was
:18:44. > :18:47.hopefully successful because that is what launched the whole thing.
:18:48. > :18:54.William Hartwell was key to that, wasn't he? He said, this is going to
:18:55. > :18:57.go on for ever. He was pretty much right. Thank you for being with us
:18:58. > :19:01.here this evening. Of course, one of the most striking
:19:02. > :19:04.elements of Dr Who over the last 50 years has been the hero's ability to
:19:05. > :19:12.regenerate, which has contributed to the show's enduring appeal. Peter
:19:13. > :19:16.Capaldi's set to become the 12th Doctor when he takes over from the
:19:17. > :19:20.current incumbent, Matt Smith. And I've caught up with Doctor number
:19:21. > :19:27.six, Colin Baker, who took on the role in the 1980s. He told me about
:19:28. > :19:31.his experiences filming in the South East, including shooting on a Sussex
:19:32. > :19:41.nudist beach, and the crew's rather disrespectful treatment of the
:19:42. > :19:43.TARDIS. Whatever else happens, I am the
:19:44. > :19:58.doctor. Whether you like it or not. It is about legend. It is about that
:19:59. > :20:03.masked stranger who has saved all our lives and written off into the
:20:04. > :20:07.setting sun, it is the Lone Ranger, it is all of those heroes of myth
:20:08. > :20:14.and legend brought into a modern context. You came to Sussex to film
:20:15. > :20:18.on a couple of occasions. Yes, I did the most conjugated filming there.
:20:19. > :20:26.It was a strange kind of nether world, where odd and unlikely things
:20:27. > :20:29.happened, followed by the fact I went through a speed trap on my way
:20:30. > :20:35.out and got three points on my licence. I love Sussex! And you went
:20:36. > :20:45.to the cliffs. It doubled as the alien plan `` planet. I didn't know
:20:46. > :20:48.it was a nudist beach until a rather naked man came and sat with his
:20:49. > :20:54.newspaper and was asked to move because he was being shot. Neither
:20:55. > :20:58.the cameramen nor the directors give a hoot unless you are about to
:20:59. > :21:02.drown. We could see the sea coming in around us. We kept making urgent
:21:03. > :21:07.noises about getting on with it. It has had a battering, the TARDIS. My
:21:08. > :21:18.memory of it, it was used as a urinal by the crew. You'll probably
:21:19. > :21:25.cut that. We've come through to the VIP area because we have had two
:21:26. > :21:31.people intimately involved with Doctor Who. First of all, Kate
:21:32. > :21:36.O'Mara. It is a pleasure for us to have you here. Thank you for coming.
:21:37. > :21:41.It is delightful to be here. I've never been to Herne Bay before, I
:21:42. > :21:44.never expected it. It is a lovely experience for me. I wish I could
:21:45. > :21:53.see the sea, though. Let's take a quick look so that people can
:21:54. > :22:01.remember you in your heyday. Leave a girl, it's the man I want.
:22:02. > :22:05.Take into my laboratory. Back in the day when you are playing the Rani
:22:06. > :22:11.opposite Colin Baker and saw the stomach or, you are responsible for
:22:12. > :22:17.the regeneration, weren't you? Colin wasn't pleased, he didn't want to be
:22:18. > :22:24.regenerated, but I insisted. At that point, you were the first evil
:22:25. > :22:31.female Time Lord villain. The only one of two female Time Lord s. I
:22:32. > :22:36.have a little special niche myself. Whether or not I've been
:22:37. > :22:40.regenerated, I don't know. They can write anything. I was supposed to
:22:41. > :22:45.have been at university with the doctor, studying science, then it
:22:46. > :22:53.went somewhere else, and she wanted to govern the whole galaxy. Dan
:22:54. > :22:58.Starkey is also with us. People might not rigged buys you
:22:59. > :23:04.immediately. Do your voice. I've declared war on the moon. Let's take
:23:05. > :23:11.a look at what you look like when you are made up for the series.
:23:12. > :23:20.If I'm ever in the need of advice from a psychotic potato dwarf,
:23:21. > :23:26.you'll be the first to know. It's fair to say the doctor is quite
:23:27. > :23:31.crawled to you. He is impolite. But that is the kind of language she
:23:32. > :23:36.understands. He is aggressive. Who was the doctor when you were growing
:23:37. > :23:40.up? The first memory is Tom Baker turning into Peter Davidson. And
:23:41. > :23:46.then Sylvester McCoy as well. Ira member watching Rani, too. We moved
:23:47. > :23:54.to the countryside when I was seven so I used an episode of Doctor Who
:23:55. > :24:00.because we didn't have an antenna. So, you are a fan who has gone into
:24:01. > :24:06.the programme? There are quite a few of us on the programme. Thank you
:24:07. > :24:10.both for coming down here this evening. We will be showing the act
:24:11. > :24:16.sure screening of the episode this evening. The excitement about is
:24:17. > :24:24.palpable by virtue of the fact that 500 tickets were sold... Or given
:24:25. > :24:29.away within half an hour of being given away. Now let's catch up with
:24:30. > :24:31.the weather. She can look a little bit into the future,
:24:32. > :24:35.the weather. She can look a little bit it's Rachel. It's been another
:24:36. > :24:38.bitterly cold day, particularly in Herne Bay. We've had very strong
:24:39. > :24:46.winds and also hefty showers around. We've had temperatures of
:24:47. > :24:49.six or seven, always feeling rather chilly and although showers have
:24:50. > :24:54.eased off, they are not done with us yet. Going into tonight, we will see
:24:55. > :24:59.some showers around and also some gusts of wind particularly across
:25:00. > :25:04.the East. For the West, temperatures dropped to two or three degrees. We
:25:05. > :25:09.might see a touch of frost in rural areas. With lighter winds, a bit of
:25:10. > :25:17.mist and fog. Further east, quite heavy showers. We could see 10`15
:25:18. > :25:23.millimetres of rainfall. Over the weekend, we've got this area of high
:25:24. > :25:27.pressure, out to the West. So, for us, still some showers particular in
:25:28. > :25:31.eastern parts of Kent, and some blustery winds around as well.
:25:32. > :25:35.Saturday morning, a greater chance of seeing a shower by the afternoon.
:25:36. > :25:41.It is going to be an improving story by the afternoon. There will be some
:25:42. > :25:46.sunshine around, particularly the further west. Temperatures reaching
:25:47. > :25:50.highs of around seven or eight. As we go over into Sunday, temperatures
:25:51. > :25:57.not quite as Judy Bob as tonight, more cloud cover with the risk of a
:25:58. > :26:05.shower. `` temperatures not quite as chilly as tonight. For Sunday, in
:26:06. > :26:08.the increasingly better story. Saturday and Sunday and Monday and
:26:09. > :26:15.choose they will be settled and dry. On Wednesday, it turns wet and
:26:16. > :26:19.windy. `` Monday and choose stove. Everybody here is having a good time
:26:20. > :26:23.and everybody here, it's fair to say, is a fan of Doctor Who. This
:26:24. > :26:33.young man here, what's your name? Alex. Who are you here as? Dr Smith.
:26:34. > :26:42.Why is your favourite Doctor? I like his hair. And you're looking very
:26:43. > :26:52.funky, what's your name? Ted. Who are you here as? The doctor. What
:26:53. > :26:57.have you got in your hand? A sonic screwdriver. It's not just the
:26:58. > :27:04.younger ones who get excited about it. Why are you here? We are here
:27:05. > :27:09.supporting all the things going on, entertaining people, having photos.
:27:10. > :27:12.You guys got into Doctor Who at an age where it was the modern doctors,
:27:13. > :27:17.what do you think about the William Hartnell era? My dad was there for
:27:18. > :27:24.the first episode, so just getting the family into it. Still excited
:27:25. > :27:29.about it. Now, do you remember the original series? I do. It was just
:27:30. > :27:36.after my seventh birthday. I watched it as it came out. It will be a very
:27:37. > :27:39.exciting evening today. 50 years of Doctor Who, thank you for being with
:27:40. > :27:41.us in Herne Bay.
