:00:16. > :00:16.Nigel Farage, the UKIP leaddr and South East MEP, speaks out on
:00:17. > :00:20.immigration. We face the prospect of the largest
:00:21. > :00:23.migratory wave that has ever come to this country, and we have three
:00:24. > :00:32.political parties who are not prepared to do anything abott it.
:00:33. > :00:35.21 years after Claire Tiltm`n was stabbed, a man appears in court
:00:36. > :00:42.charged with her murder. Also in tonight's programme: the

:00:58. > :00:59.And the cheeky chappie Jason Manford takes to the stage in Sussex,
:01:00. > :01:14.battling his first world problems. Good evening. The South East MEP and
:01:15. > :01:16.leader of the UK Independence Party has told his party's Spring
:01:17. > :01:20.Conference that immigration has now become the number`one issue in
:01:21. > :01:24.British politics. Nigel Far`ge also warned that the UK cannot h`ve its
:01:25. > :01:29.own immigration policy and remain a member of the European Union.
:01:30. > :01:33.It comes as we can exclusivdly reveal that one Conservativd MP in
:01:34. > :01:38.Kent is to hold a referendul in his constituency on whether or not to
:01:39. > :01:42.stay in the EU. In a few molents, I'll be talking to Nigel Farage `
:01:43. > :01:49.but first this from our polhtical editor, Louise Stewart.
:01:50. > :01:52.An enthusiastic welcome frol Nigel Farage as he meets the partx
:01:53. > :01:57.faithful at their Spring Conference. His message is that UKIP
:01:58. > :02:01.is a party on the march. He said immigration had become the number
:02:02. > :02:09.one issue in politics, and only UK IP could battle. Della mac `s things
:02:10. > :02:13.go as badly as I think they well, we face the prospect of the largest
:02:14. > :02:18.migratory wave that has ever come to this country, and we have three
:02:19. > :02:23.political parties who are not prepared to do anything abott it. Is
:02:24. > :02:26.the message that seems to rdsonate, particularly in the south`e`st where
:02:27. > :02:31.voters are concerned about the of immigration. Yet the limit on it,
:02:32. > :02:39.don't you? You can't let anxone coming. Because we are so close to
:02:40. > :02:44.France, it has been a probldm with a lot of illegal immigrants. They
:02:45. > :02:52.should be allowed to come as long as they are working. Even consdrvatives
:02:53. > :02:57.admit it is a big issue. Now a MP has decided to take the UKIP on He
:02:58. > :03:04.wants to take on a referendtm. I believe the British people, starting
:03:05. > :03:08.tomorrow, deserve to have a chance to say to have a closer union with
:03:09. > :03:14.Europe or for Britain to be an independent country? Experts want
:03:15. > :03:19.tackling UKIP halon is riskx. We see that the Conservatives are trying to
:03:20. > :03:25.deal with things by trying to outdo UKIP. That is allowing them to say,
:03:26. > :03:31.we will not do that, like the go home then. It was the ideal
:03:32. > :03:36.opportunity for UKIP to say that is awful. We want something else. UKIP
:03:37. > :03:42.is planning to pull off the biggest shock by winning in the European
:03:43. > :03:49.elections. Nigel Farage is now under pressure to deliver it.
:03:50. > :03:54.We're hoping to be joined bx Nigel Farage later in the programle.
:03:55. > :03:57.A man has appeared in court via videolink charged with the lurder of
:03:58. > :04:00.a teenager in Kent 21 years ago 45`year`old Colin Ash`Smith is
:04:01. > :04:02.accused of stabbing 16`year`old Claire Tiltman in an alleyw`y in
:04:03. > :04:05.Greenhithe. Our home affairs reporter, Rebecca Williams, reports.
:04:06. > :04:08.She was stabbed to death in Greenhithe two decades ago. Now a
:04:09. > :04:12.man has been formally chargdd with Claire Tiltman's murder. Colin
:04:13. > :04:16.Ash`Smith appeared in court today via video link from high security
:04:17. > :04:19.Belmarsh Prison. During the 10`minute hearing, he spoke only to
:04:20. > :04:24.confirm his name, age and l`st known address. His parents watched on from
:04:25. > :04:28.the public gallery, which w`s completely full. Many members of
:04:29. > :04:33.Claire Tiltman's family and her friends were also present. Ht was in
:04:34. > :04:38.an alleyway in Greenhithe that Claire was killed in 1993. She had
:04:39. > :04:42.taken a short cut to a friend's house, and was wounded more than 40
:04:43. > :04:48.times. It is one of Kent Police s longest`running unsolved cases. You
:04:49. > :04:51.may have seen or even be thd man that several people saw on various
:04:52. > :04:54.parts of the hill. Over the years, there have been numerous appeals for
:04:55. > :04:57.people to come forward with information relating to the
:04:58. > :05:02.incident. Claire's parents, who were crucial to keeping their datghter's
:05:03. > :05:05.memory alive, died a few ye`rs ago. In court today, there was no
:05:06. > :05:10.indication as to how Colin @sh`Smith would plead, and he made no bail
:05:11. > :05:13.application. He has been told to appear at Maidstone Crown Court for
:05:14. > :05:24.a preliminary hearing on Monday morning.
:05:25. > :05:27.In a moment: The last of thd Eastbourne pleasure boats ` and the
:05:28. > :05:35.campaign to raise ?500,000 to save them.
:05:36. > :05:41.A sharp rise in violence at a Kent prison has been linked to the use of
:05:42. > :05:44.a class B drug among inmates. There have been two stabbings in the past
:05:45. > :05:49.year at Blantyre House, a resettlement prison near Gotdhurst.
:05:50. > :05:52.It was once called a "jewel in the crown of the prison service", but
:05:53. > :05:55.the latest report from Her Lajesty's Inspectorate of Prisons comds just
:05:56. > :05:58.months after Blantyre House was heavily criticised by volunteers who
:05:59. > :06:10.carried out their own separ`te inspection. Lucinda Adam reports.
:06:11. > :06:16.Spices cheap to buy and our hard to detect. A synthetic cannabis with
:06:17. > :06:22.effects has been blamed with an increase in violence. Your Lac both
:06:23. > :06:26.prisoners and staff told us that spices were not available in prison.
:06:27. > :06:29.I don't think there is any doubt about that, although it does not
:06:30. > :06:35.sure up in normal testing mdthods. So individual use is quite difficult
:06:36. > :06:38.to detect. It was a cause of bullying and violence in thd prison,
:06:39. > :06:41.so was traded in causing difficulties. Agutter spies were
:06:42. > :06:47.found inside the prison thrde times in six months, but the extent of its
:06:48. > :06:52.use is impossible to record. Experts admit they know little about the
:06:53. > :06:56.drug, which was only band in 20 9. The effects of being dramathc. We
:06:57. > :07:01.know it can lead to a psychotic episode. It can lead to increased
:07:02. > :07:04.violence. Serious self harm, attacks on other people using it. There are
:07:05. > :07:09.not many other drugs we know can cause that sort of massive `dverse
:07:10. > :07:13.reaction. Four years ago, when Inspector of prisons did his last
:07:14. > :07:18.inspection, he said this prhson was a jewel in the crown of the prison
:07:19. > :07:23.system. Now he said that problems with drugs and violence could see
:07:24. > :07:27.the work deteriorate. Local MP Greg Clark visited the prison to raise
:07:28. > :07:31.his concerns. There is worrhed that if it declines any further, it will
:07:32. > :07:36.that ethos and that reputathon, so I hope that the governor takes this
:07:37. > :07:41.matter seriously, as well as the prison service. We hope thex will
:07:42. > :07:46.look carefully at what is going on. Today, the prison services says it
:07:47. > :07:48.takes the use of drugs seriously and presses for the most serious charges
:07:49. > :07:54.across anyone caught using or dealing. The prison is still
:07:55. > :07:59.considered a good prison, btt new drugs like spice mean difficult new
:08:00. > :08:02.challenges. A Church of England priest who was
:08:03. > :08:05.jailed last year for sexually abusing young children has had his
:08:06. > :08:08.application for release on compassionate grounds rejected.
:08:09. > :08:12.Canon Gordon Rideout, who worked in Eastbourne, was jailed last May for
:08:13. > :08:14.ten years. It's understood that he had recently been admitted to
:08:15. > :08:23.hospital. One of his victims described it as "an obvious ploy to
:08:24. > :08:26.manipulate the system". Work will begin on removing the
:08:27. > :08:30.barriers from the Dartford Crossing this autumn. Increased charges ` up
:08:31. > :08:33.to ?2.50 for cars ` paid on the internet or over the phone will
:08:34. > :08:36.begin in October as a new barrier`less system is phasdd in.
:08:37. > :08:39.The scheme, designed to easd congestion, is expected to be
:08:40. > :08:43.completed in June next year. The parents of a two`year`old girl
:08:44. > :08:46.who had a large clump of hahr pulled out while playing with a tox train
:08:47. > :08:51.are warning other parents to be aware of the dangers. Lily
:08:52. > :08:54.Brokenshire was playing with the toy at home in Crawley when the incident
:08:55. > :08:57.happened. The manufacturers say that the warnings are already explained
:08:58. > :09:02.on the instructions. Ellie Price reports.
:09:03. > :09:08.Playing with her toy train `gain, but two`year`old Lily Brokenshire
:09:09. > :09:12.family watching her every move. Last time she played with it, thhs
:09:13. > :09:20.happened. She picked it up, as you do, put it towards her hair, and the
:09:21. > :09:25.motorised toy clips in their hair and took big of her out. Shd
:09:26. > :09:31.squealed, and she was holding the train with her in it. If it happened
:09:32. > :09:36.to me, I would've gone ment`l. Just go through primary, so won't be nice
:09:37. > :09:41.with people saying what thex do nowadays.
:09:42. > :09:43.The toy manufacturer has apologised and sister takes child safety
:09:44. > :09:46.seriously. It says there is a leaflet in the packaging whhch once
:09:47. > :09:55.about playing with the train near hair, body and clothes. Toys! Toys!
:09:56. > :09:59.These things happen. The dalage is done if you don't let children
:10:00. > :10:04.experience some element of risk because they don't grow up with
:10:05. > :10:09.those risk assessment skills. It is important not to overreact to freak
:10:10. > :10:14.accidents and over protectable done. Wye the manufacturer says the toy is
:10:15. > :10:19.suitable for one`year`olds. Lily Brokenshire family says it hs hard
:10:20. > :10:25.to stop children from putting toys in their hair. They hope thdir hair
:10:26. > :10:31.will grow back. But she has found other things to play with.
:10:32. > :10:34.This is our top story tonight: Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, told his
:10:35. > :10:41.party's spring conference that immigration is still the nulber`one
:10:42. > :10:47.political issue. Adjusting his party's Spring conference, he said
:10:48. > :10:49.the UK can't have its own immigration policy and stay in the
:10:50. > :10:53.European Union. And one Conservative MP, Mark Reckless, MP for Rochester,
:10:54. > :10:57.has told this programme he hs to hold a referendum on whether or not
:10:58. > :11:02.Britain should leave the EU. Also in tonight's programme: I'm Jason
:11:03. > :11:07.Manfred, and later in the show, I will tell you about my new show
:11:08. > :11:11.which comes to Hastings tomorrow. After an overcast and wet d`y, is
:11:12. > :11:17.there anything brighter for the weekend? To emulating the programme
:11:18. > :11:22.that the cast. `` join me l`ter the forecast.
:11:23. > :11:26.Every picture tells a story, as the saying goes, and a striking portrait
:11:27. > :11:30.of a British Army Officer of World War I on show at the Jerwood Gallery
:11:31. > :11:32.in Hastings certainly bears that out. But a chance discovery last
:11:33. > :11:36.year uncovered the extraordhnary fact that the painting has `
:11:37. > :11:39.brother. And together, they tell a moving tale of a family both brought
:11:40. > :11:41.together ` and divided ` by the outbreak of the First World War
:11:42. > :11:51.Robin Gibson explains. Could he be anything other than an
:11:52. > :11:58.English officer of the First World War? A young, pink face in ` uniform
:11:59. > :12:06.that hangs too large, a gun that looks too big. The camouflage
:12:07. > :12:14.greens, browns and golds st`nd out. The story is outstanding and
:12:15. > :12:16.surprising. He came from, fascinatingly, an Anglo`Gerlan
:12:17. > :12:27.family, a family that had Gdrman origins, came to live in England,
:12:28. > :12:35.and became British. In 1916, it was painted, and he was killed shortly
:12:36. > :12:39.afterwards. We know the young man was killed so soon after gohng to
:12:40. > :12:42.France. He never saw his own portrait. The artist was Alfred
:12:43. > :12:47.Wolmark, whose self portrait also hangs at the Jerwood. The phcture of
:12:48. > :12:51.Norman Kohnstamm lingers in the memory. But his great niece had
:12:52. > :12:56.something more surprising to show me. We obviously know about this
:12:57. > :13:01.portrait, because this one has stayed in the family. At Madeleine
:13:02. > :13:06.Bunting's London home, they have a second portrait of a brother. The
:13:07. > :13:10.astonishment in the family last summer when my aunt happened to be
:13:11. > :13:16.in Hastings and went to the Jerwood Gallery and found a portrait saying
:13:17. > :13:21."Norman Kohnstamm". She phoned up the whole family. She told ts all
:13:22. > :13:26.and it was absolutely extraordinary. We had no idea there was a second
:13:27. > :13:31.portrait. Photographs seem to make it clear that this picture hs of
:13:32. > :13:37.elder brother Norman Kohnst`mm. They think the Jerwood picture is his
:13:38. > :13:42.younger brother, Jack. They were the sons of very prosperous bushnessmen
:13:43. > :13:49.in London. Jack was the tearaway. He was the flamboyant character. They
:13:50. > :13:51.had been raised as English gentleman here, where their German`Jewish
:13:52. > :13:55.father was in business. The First World War was a bad time for German
:13:56. > :14:00.families on the home front. They faced intimidation, riots,
:14:01. > :14:06.incarceration. The Kohnstamls were close to the German side of the
:14:07. > :14:10.family. Jack was sent to a boarding school in Germany, where thd family
:14:11. > :14:13.had come from, and he was in Heidelburg at the outbreak of the
:14:14. > :14:17.First World War, where he w`s esconced in a huge network of German
:14:18. > :14:20.cousins and aunts and uncles. But both brothers could not wait to
:14:21. > :14:25.enlist to fight for English king and country. Jack was killed within
:14:26. > :14:31.weeks of going to the front. He was 18. His German cousin, Rudolph, was
:14:32. > :14:41.killed facing him at the Battle of the Somme. Norman was also killed in
:14:42. > :14:45.France in 1918. A third Kohnstamm, Jeffrey, was spared. He was stood
:14:46. > :14:57.down waiting for a ship to France the day the war ended. Limit These
:14:58. > :15:01.two young men have continued to inspire, and that is a wonddrful way
:15:02. > :15:04.in which memory continues. Here we are, 100 years after the evdnt, and
:15:05. > :15:09.these young men's lives are still shaping and influencing ours. But
:15:10. > :15:14.now their story is out, there is one thing we can do for them. The two
:15:15. > :15:20.brothers, parted by death, `re to be reunited by art. The family and
:15:21. > :15:22.gallery are hoping to displ`y them side`by`side ` the German`English
:15:23. > :15:43.gentleman who died for King and country.
:15:44. > :15:52.We're going to go back to otr top story for a moment. Nigel F`rage has
:15:53. > :15:55.been telling his party's Spring conference that immigration has
:15:56. > :16:00.become the number one issue in British politics. We had hoped to
:16:01. > :16:02.speak to you earlier, but I understand we had technical
:16:03. > :16:10.difficulties. Thank you for being with us. What convinces you now that
:16:11. > :16:16.immigration is the number one issue, rather than the economy, jobs or
:16:17. > :16:19.education? It's interesting. Ever since the war, the economy has been
:16:20. > :16:25.the main issue upon which pdople voted. It is not any more. Since
:16:26. > :16:29.2004, when we opened the door to eastern Europe on an uncondhtional
:16:30. > :16:34.basis, people have seen changes in the community is unlike anything I
:16:35. > :16:38.could ever have imagined. The community in which you live, whether
:16:39. > :16:44.you recognise it or feel part of it, that matters more than whether you
:16:45. > :16:49.are earning another ten pounds or ?15 a week. Community, sensd of
:16:50. > :16:53.identity, these are the isstes in British politics. I do know of you
:16:54. > :16:57.heard about the Eurosceptic MP and his announcement that he will hold a
:16:58. > :17:03.referendum in his constituthon on the EU. He is stealing thunder,
:17:04. > :17:08.isn't he? Your Mac he is a good chap. He's in the House of Commons
:17:09. > :17:15.and has lots of opinions, hd is just in the wrong party. If what Mark
:17:16. > :17:20.does by holding a referendul is to increase UKIP's folks, I will thank
:17:21. > :17:24.him. Will you not stand agahnst him in the general election? We're not
:17:25. > :17:30.thinking about that. This is not a fringe splinter of the Consdrvative
:17:31. > :17:34.Party, this is a vibrant, organic political party. Two thirds of our
:17:35. > :17:39.voters don't come from the Conservative Party. In 84 d`ys, we
:17:40. > :17:43.fighting a European election, we are fighting to win and come first, we
:17:44. > :17:47.intend to cause an earthquake in British politics, and if we succeed,
:17:48. > :17:51.we will go into the 2015 eldctions with a realistic can to bring people
:17:52. > :17:56.into Westminster. You say you're wanting to do, mainstream p`rty but
:17:57. > :17:58.by putting immigration rights front and centre of everything th`t you
:17:59. > :18:03.were talking about, isn't there a danger of making the party `ppear to
:18:04. > :18:08.still be a one issue party `nd stirring up antiforeigner fdeling is
:18:09. > :18:13.at attracting people who have a little England mentality? Your Mac
:18:14. > :18:18.will use to talk about, the European union are making 70% of our laws, I
:18:19. > :18:23.was accused of being a one trick pony. You still say we are ` one
:18:24. > :18:28.trick pony. By definition, we can't be. We're not anti`immigrathon,
:18:29. > :18:32.we're not anti`immigrant in any way at all, and we will have many
:18:33. > :18:35.members of ethnic communitids standing as UKIP candidates in
:18:36. > :18:38.elections coming up on late 20 seconds, the same day as thd euros
:18:39. > :18:43.this year, but we believe there needs to be a level of control,
:18:44. > :18:45.control in numbers, control of people coming into this country
:18:46. > :18:50.Sensible countries like Australia make a decision that will this
:18:51. > :18:53.person benefit our society or not? What we have done is open the door
:18:54. > :18:56.unconditionally to southern and eastern Europe, and the figtres we
:18:57. > :19:02.had yesterday showed that l`st year, there was a 40% incre`se in
:19:03. > :19:08.net migration to Britain. I'm sorry, that is unacceptable. Thank you very
:19:09. > :19:10.much for being with us. Thank you. I'm sure we will hear more of him
:19:11. > :19:13.before may. They've been described as all that's
:19:14. > :19:16.left of 200 years of pleasure boating in Eastbourne. But today,
:19:17. > :19:19.the Southern Queen and the William Allchorn lie unused and
:19:20. > :19:22.deteriorating on the beach there. Now a campaign's been launched to
:19:23. > :19:24.raise ?500,000 to get the 60`year`old boats back to sda again.
:19:25. > :19:28.Charlie Rose has more. Back in the '50s, pleasure boating
:19:29. > :19:35.was a popular past time in Eastbourne, with scores of boat
:19:36. > :19:39.licences working off the co`st here. She was originally built for Sayers
:19:40. > :19:44.Bros. Today, things couldn't be more different. These are the only two
:19:45. > :19:47.left, and they represent all the families, all the hundreds of boats
:19:48. > :19:53.that used to ply their tradd between the Redoubt Fortress and thd Wish
:19:54. > :19:59.Tower. This is it. This is `ll we have left of all that history. That
:20:00. > :20:03.is why we have to save them. We re not just talking about a lick of
:20:04. > :20:06.paint here ` these boats nedd a complete refit. That means new
:20:07. > :20:10.engines and an overhaul of the entire structure, all to brhng back
:20:11. > :20:13.part of Eastbourne's historx. Jason Foster took ownership of thd
:20:14. > :20:18.Southern Queen and William @llchorn eight years ago to run as pleasure
:20:19. > :20:21.boats. Since then, he says the recession put an end to the
:20:22. > :20:26.business, and vandalism has also taken its toll. I think we've only
:20:27. > :20:30.got, really, another year, before they deteriorate to a point where
:20:31. > :20:34.there is nothing we will be able to do. It will be such a shame. We ve
:20:35. > :20:37.had, obviously, interest in other areas, but to me, it is verx
:20:38. > :20:41.important that they stay in Eastbourne, and to Lloyd as well,
:20:42. > :20:48.for us to carry on with the pleasure boats. Everybody loves them, and it
:20:49. > :20:52.is so important. This is thd William Allchorn back in the heyday of
:20:53. > :20:55.pleasure boating. Now, Jason and Lloyd say they need to raisd
:20:56. > :20:56.?500,000 to bring both vessdls back to shipshape condition, and cruising
:20:57. > :21:14.on the Sussex seas. That would be nice. Tomorrow is the
:21:15. > :21:17.first day of spring, as far as the Met Office is concerned, but
:21:18. > :21:19.amazingly, Crawley Town will play their first home league gamd of the
:21:20. > :21:22.year tomorrow. Earlier this week, the club has
:21:23. > :21:26.sacked its head groundsman `fter being forced to postpone thdir last
:21:27. > :21:31.five home games due to the state of the pitch. Neil Bell joins ts from
:21:32. > :21:37.their ground. It's raining `t the moment, isn't it? Absolutelx. It has
:21:38. > :21:40.been a lucky. The club say that s Matt Moss had been made redtndant as
:21:41. > :21:43.part of their ongoing cost`cutting programme, but with the Football
:21:44. > :21:47.League launching an investigation into the state of the pitch here,
:21:48. > :21:51.it's no great surprise the club has taken some action. This was six
:21:52. > :21:54.weeks ago ` it got worse th`n that. The good news is tomorrow's game
:21:55. > :21:57.with Peterborough has passed an inspection, giving Reds fans the
:21:58. > :22:05.chance to see former hero M`tt Tubbs in action. He has been in great form
:22:06. > :22:09.recently. He's scored four goals in the last three games, but of course
:22:10. > :22:12.they have all been away frol home. Brighton loan signing Jesse Lingard
:22:13. > :22:15.could go straight into the team for tomorrow's trip to Millwall. The
:22:16. > :22:18.21`year`old striker has joined the Seagulls from Manchester Unhted on a
:22:19. > :22:21.93`day deal. The spell runs to the end of the season, and incltdes
:22:22. > :22:26.fingers crossed, the Championship play`off semifinals and fin`l.
:22:27. > :22:29.Brighton is a great club. Looking to get in the play`offs as well.
:22:30. > :22:33.Hopefully if we can make thd play`offs, that will be a bhg step
:22:34. > :22:38.up as well for Brighton and for my career.
:22:39. > :22:42.In the other league fixtures, Charlton, who have won their last
:22:43. > :22:44.couple of games, face a tough trip to Championship leaders Leicester.
:22:45. > :22:52.While in League One, Gillingham who have lost their last two gales, are
:22:53. > :22:56.away at Bristol City. Best of luck to all of our sides, and thd
:22:57. > :23:00.cricketers who are chasing 272 in the first one`day international in
:23:01. > :23:05.the West Indies. The weather there is a good deal better than ht is
:23:06. > :23:12.here. I bet it is. Thank yot all stop.
:23:13. > :23:15.He's the cheeky chappy with the chequered past. Comedian and former
:23:16. > :23:21.One Show presenter Jason Manford brings his new stand`up show to the
:23:22. > :23:24.South East this weekend. Thd opening night is tomorrow. Jane Witherspoon
:23:25. > :23:28.has been to meet him. And I said, Mum, I've got this gig
:23:29. > :23:33.coming up that I need to tell you about. She was already worrhed. It's
:23:34. > :23:45.in Afghanistan. Straightawax, little tear in her eye. "What, for the
:23:46. > :23:48.troops?" LAUGHTER. Not proud of it. I said, "No, it's for Al`Qadda,
:23:49. > :23:52.Mum." There is likely to be a few giggles
:23:53. > :23:55.in Hastings this weekend whdn funnyman Jason Manford takes to the
:23:56. > :23:58.stage with his show First World Problems. Tomorrow, you're hn
:23:59. > :24:04.Hastings, so what first world problems do you think peopld in
:24:05. > :24:07.Hastings have? I'm looking forward to finding out. Each place hs
:24:08. > :24:16.different. Some people do gdnuinely look at it as if it's a council
:24:17. > :24:21.meeting. This is not a council meeting, you know that? 250 tour
:24:22. > :24:26.dates come at a price. Look at me. This is the best... I knew H was on
:24:27. > :24:29.telly, and this is the best I could look. That's how tired I am. What do
:24:30. > :24:32.I actually look like? Jason has managed to remain one of thd
:24:33. > :24:35.country's top comics, despite suffering at the hands of the
:24:36. > :24:40.tabloids in 2010 after sendhng sexual messages to female f`ns. The
:24:41. > :24:44.same year, he quit his role as presenter of The One Show. When you
:24:45. > :24:48.go through life in the publhc eye, you have your personal problems ` is
:24:49. > :24:54.it a nightmare to dust yourself off and pick yourself up and get on with
:24:55. > :24:58.it? It's interesting, because with stand`up, you compartmentalhse
:24:59. > :25:06.anyway. Whatever is going on in your life day`to`day, you can't have a
:25:07. > :25:09.bad day at the office. You have to take the rough with the smooth. You
:25:10. > :25:13.think, you've got a nice hotse and car and do these things, but the
:25:14. > :25:16.great thing about a British audience is if you can do a joke abott
:25:17. > :25:19.something, then they're not bothered. His personal motto is
:25:20. > :25:23."Your horizons should be yotr middle ground," and with that in mhnd, we
:25:24. > :25:36.are likely to hear more frol him in future. Back on his feet. It is the
:25:37. > :25:41.end of winter. That means it is getting cold, naturally.
:25:42. > :25:46.Saturday should be dry and bright, so there will be some sunshhne over
:25:47. > :25:50.the weekend, particularly for Saturday afternoon. It will be
