Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A suspected illegal migrant is found crushed to death | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
We'll be live in Sellindge with the details, and in Calais | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
with the latest on the plans to dismantle the migrant calp there. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The family of a man killed by a mental health patient says | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
the trust in charge should have rectified mistakes. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
They continually made the s`me mistake. If the mistakes were | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
corrected people wouldn't h`ve died needlessly. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Also in tonight's programme: A Kent MPs assistant is arrested | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
on suspicion of rape at the Houses of Parliament. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Separated at birth, the elddrly twin sisters reunited for the first | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
And he found fame as Joseph in a reality TV show, | :00:41. | :00:55. | |
now Lee Mead is bringing his own album on tour. | :00:56. | :01:07. | |
A suspected illegal migrant has been found dead in the back of a lorry | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
near Folkestone, after apparently being crushed | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Emergency services were called to the scene at a lorry | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
The vehicle is believed to have travelled to Kent from France. | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
Today's death comes after scores of migrants have been found | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
in lorries in the UK recently, including a group of more than 5 | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
in the back of a freezer lorry 10 days ago. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
This is the moment the emergency services opened up the back of this | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
lorry to find the body of a suspected migrant. The drivdr pulled | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
up at the airport cafe near Folkestone at around 8am thhs | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
morning. The owner of the shte said he seemed pretty stressed. He was | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
asking for the police so I followed him over to find out what the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
problem was and I didn't know what it was a tall at the time and he | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
asked me to get up into the lorry. I could see a boot stuck in the air | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
and I didn't know if it was a boot or there was a leg attached to it so | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
I moved some magazines and @gassi trousers and that there was a person | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
there but it didn't look to be alive. The lorry was carrying these | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
pallets packed full of thesd Christmas catalogues. According to | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
the owner of the site here the man was hiding between them. It looks | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
like maybe the boxes had shhfted and the magazines were all over him and | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the boxes as well so it looks like he was crushed. You can really move | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
anything out of the way to get to him. The cause of death is not yet | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
known. Earlier this month 14 illegal immigrants were found at Cl`chan | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Lane services in a freezer lorry and Surrey Police said they feared they | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
had perished. Incidents involving suspected migrants are not tnusual. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
We had the Channel Tunnel ndar and we have Dover near and we h`ve had | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
to report to the police on ` number of occasions immigrants walking | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
along the road, immigrants hanging around outside the cafe. It is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
believed that the lorry tod`y travelled from France and French | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
authorities have said they will close the so-called jungle ligrant | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
camp in Canada by the end of the year. The migrants are taking | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
greater risks now to get across to the UK while the chance, as they see | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
it, is still there. However if there was greater security in the port | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
then this would enable a safer and more secure crossing for thd UK | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
bound hauliers. The company operating the lorry says it is | :03:43. | :03:43. | |
investigating what happened. Charlie Rose is at the lorrx | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
park at Sellindge now. Charlie what more have Kent Police | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
had to say? We can see work is still gohng on on | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the lorry. What the police had to say this evening? | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
This evening the Kent Policd are saying enquiries are ongoing to | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
ascertain the cause of death and the identity of the man. The me the | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
lorry is being reloaded ahe`d of being moved on tomorrow. Migrant | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
charities in Calais are sayhng that migrants are being forced to take | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
extra risks because of incrdased security in Calais. In the past 30 | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
minutes of is stand up therd with two children to lay flowers. She | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
told me it was important for her children to know how lucky they are | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
to live here. The truck that the suspected | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
migrant who died travelled Thousands of migrants have, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
of course, been gathering in camps in Calais for several years | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
as they try to smuggle Our reporter Simon Jones | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
is at the so-called Jungle camp now. Simon, could the French authorities | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
start dismantling it tomorrow? Well, the police chief here in | :04:40. | :04:57. | |
Calais came to the jungle hhmself and put up notices on some of the | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
shops and businesses that are considered to be illegal, s`ying | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
that they have until tomorrow to get out of them. If that doesn't happen, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
he said, he could turn up as early as tomorrow and destroy thel. It has | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
been another day of tension here in the jungle and at lunchtime we saw a | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
large number of police officers march right into the centre, a big | :05:18. | :05:30. | |
crowd gathered to see what was going on and then eventually the police | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
officers took away four verx young looking migrants. It is unclear | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
exactly why. There was a cotrt challenge to try and stop the | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
dismantling of the jungle and that failed today and I have spoken to a | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
Chief Administration are here in Calais and ask when the dislantling | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
would begin? The dismantling will take place when we are absolutely | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
sure we have a solution for everyone there. I hope it will happen as | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
quickly as possible but we need to choose the right moment. Well, 4 | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
unaccompanied children were taken across the Channel to the UK to | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
yesterday and another 13 today. We have also seen 18 migrants being | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
moved from here to a university where they are going to be `llowed | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
to study elsewhere in Francd and we have also seen families loading onto | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
a coach to be taken to reception centres in other parts of the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
country. Things are very much gearing up, it appears, for the end. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
A woman from Sussex says her brother would not have died needlessly | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
if the mistakes of a Sussex mental health trust had been rectified | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Joe Lewis was stabbed to de`th in Brighton on Christmas Dax | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
His attacker was a patient with the Sussex Partnership | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Today repeated failings by the trust over many years have been | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
As our Health Correspondent Mark Norman reports the Trust now insists | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
it's making improvements to services. | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
Oliver Parsons was a patient with the Sussex mental health trtst when | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
he stabbed and murdered as Joe Lewis. The case was just ond of ten | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
where trust patients killed someone over a nine-year period. Today's | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
report says Sussex partnership made repeated failings in the wax they | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
handled those cases, somethhng that has infuriated Joe 's familx. It is | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
quite shocking, when you ard told to rectify something you usually go | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
ahead and rectify but they haven't, they have continually made the same | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
mistake. If the mistakes were not corrected then people wouldn't have | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
died needlessly. The mistakds have been criticised in this revhew. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Information from family and carers was not used effectively and some of | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
the trust staff did not unddrstand the extent of their powers tnder the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Mental Health Act. The trust have made a full apology. Across our | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
organisation and across Sussex our staff make these clinical ddcisions | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
every day and as the report highlights, for examples of the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Mental Health Act, these ard tough and difficult decisions bec`use they | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
could result in someone's lhberty being deprived, so they need to be | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
very careful in terms of how the exercise but the report is hndicated | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
to us that we need to think more about our general population and it | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
is something we will be verx focused on. It is very much a step hn the | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
right direction. What we want the NHS organisations to do is learn | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
from their mistakes and be lore open and avoid having a blame culture, | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
but look into what went wrong and what could be changed and what could | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
be done differently. Familids who are being failed are understandably | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
sceptical. They say that unless the NHS learns lessons then othdrs will | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
suffer in the same way that they have. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Our Health Correspondent Mark Norman is with me now. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
It is. They took all the independent investigations into these tdn | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
killings and put them all together and we are looking for themds | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
running through them, looking for mistakes the trust were makhng | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
repeatedly across all of those investigations, and to sum ht up you | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
could say was too much procdss from the trust are not enough talking, | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
particularly talking to the families of their own patients. It is the | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
repetition that is so frustrating. We got an apology from the trust | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
today and they say they will change clinical practices and they say it | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
goes beyond action plans but the trust recognise it is a significant | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
moment in the way they have to move forward and the way they de`l with | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
the serious incidents. Coming up on the programme in a moment:. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
West Sussex schools tell the government that their ptpils | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
are being short changed by ?44 million. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
A man who stabbed two peopld to death, and wounded two others, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
including a 16 year old boy, has told jurors at his murddr | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
trial that he'd been acting in self defence. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
54-year-old Foster Christian claimed he'd been violently assaultdd | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
in his own room at a shared house on Dickens Road in Canterbury, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
and didn't remember picking up a large kitchen knife. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
From Maidstone Crown Court Sara Smith reports. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
It was an argument between housemates over running the tap when | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
someone else was in their shower that escalated into violencd in this | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
Simon Gorecki, who lived here was stabbed to death, as was his friend | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
who'd been visiting him, Natasha Sadler. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
Her 20-year-old son and | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
another boy, a 16-year-old were both wounded. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Today in court Foster Christian said they had attacked him | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
and all four had come into his room in the house with a knife and he had | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
been holding his own knife to defend himself. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
The jury also heard that Foster Christian had | :10:39. | :10:58. | |
called a friend who had comd to the house, taken the knife | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
Asked why he had done that he said he had panicked. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
In cross-examination he is accused of | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
going into attack mode and knifing everyone like coming into the room. | :11:10. | :11:31. | |
Foster Christian denies two counts of murder and two of wounding. | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
Thousands of Eurotunnel passengers are facing disruption and ddlays | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
tonight after rail services through the Channel Tunnel | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
were suspended for four hours because of a power failure. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
The technical fault caused long queues on the M20 heading | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Eurotunnel has apologised and has been offering to transfer ctstomers | :11:54. | :12:04. | |
Extra freight services will be rescheduled tonight. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Drivers on Southern Railway are to be balloted for industrial | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
action after last-ditch talks failed to resolve a row over | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
It comes as commuters faced renewed disruption this morning | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
across the Southern network as members of the RMT Union start | :12:19. | :12:21. | |

A senior aide to one of Kent's MPs has been arrested on suspichon | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
of rape following an alleged attack at the Houses of Parliament. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
It is understood that Sam Armstrong, who is chief-of-staff | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
to Craig Mackinlay, the Conservative MP for South Thanet, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
was released on bail after his arrest last week. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
Our Political Editor Helen Catt joins us from Westminster. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Well, we know that the Metropolitan Police is investigating an | :13:14. | :13:27. | |
allegation of rape which it is claimed took place here in the house | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
of parliament in the early hours of last Friday morning, the 14th of | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
October. They say a 23-year,old man was arrested on Friday on stspicion | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
of rape and has been bailed until mid January pending further | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
enquiries. It is understood that that man is Sam Armstrong, the | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
assistant to Craig Mackinlax. A spokesman for Craig Mackinl`y said | :13:48. | :13:53. | |

and he had given permission to police to access his office here at | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Westminster. He is now monitoring the situation and awaiting further | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
details from police and the Parliamentary authorities. With | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
regard to those authorities a spokesman for the House of Commons | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
says they are aware of an investigation by the Metropolitan | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
Police into an incident on the parliamentary estate and th`t | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Parliament is working closely with police on that investigation but | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
they cannot comment any further while that is ongoing. Thank you. It | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
is very nearly 6:45pm. A migrant has been found crtshed in | :14:25. | :14:38. | |
a lorry near Folkestone. Thd vehicle is believed to have travelldd to | :14:39. | :14:39. | |
Kent from France. How the part timers | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
of Merstham are meeting the professionals of Oxford United | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
in the first round proper. It is pretty dry, if Chile, over the | :14:48. | :14:59. | |
next couple of days. I will have the details in the forecast latdr in the | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
programme. A letter signed by the headteacher | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
of every state school in West Sussex has been handed into 10 | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Downing Street today, warning the Prime Minister that | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
schools in the county will be forced to reduce opening hours, | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
raise class numbers, and make staff redundant | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
if they aren't given more money On average councils in Engl`nd | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
receive ?4,636 in funding In West Sussex that | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
figure is ?4,198. West Sussex County Council | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
says its schools on ?44.7 mhllion West Sussex County Council | :15:31. | :15:44. | |
says its schools are missing Jon Hunt has tonight's | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
Special Report. Head teachers, pupils and MPs, | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
taking their message They say schools in West Sussex | :15:51. | :15:51. | |
will have to take dramatic leasures We will have to continue to look | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
at our staffing ratios and we may have to look at reducing thd number | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
of hours that we are open for, cutting back on some of the things | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
that we do before and after school. The letter, signed by more than 250 | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
West Sussex head teachers s`ys that schools are struggling to ftnction | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
adequately on a day-to-day basis. They are severely hampered | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
in their ability to recruit and retain staff, work | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
with reasonable teacher-puphl ratios They say that each pupil receives | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
?402 less in funding on average It's not right that | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
pupils in West Sussex get If you are a pupil in London | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
of an equivalent age The government has promised | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
a complete overhaul of school funding in England to make ht fairer | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
but the roll-out of the new formula Heads say this has had a crhppling | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
effect on their finances. Teachers in West Sussex say | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
they have to use their own loney to buy sand for the school sandpit | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
holdings are in a bad state When we try to turn it | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
on and it doesn't work, In education things like having | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
brilliant teachers and after-school At the front of our school we have | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
some huts that are in reallx bad condition and we need to get rid | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
of them and get proper classrooms where we can actually | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
really learn in. The Department for Education says it | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
has protected school budgets and awarded West Sussex | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
an additional ?930,000 last year. It is consulting on new | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
funding formula that it In 1928 when Britain's attitude to | :17:33. | :17:57. | |
single mothers was very different to today, Mary Hunter was put tp for | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
adoption as a baby. This sulmer she made an amazing discovery at the age | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
of 88, that she actually had a sister. Olive has travelled all the | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
way from Perth to Tunbridge Wells to meet up with her and it was an | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
emotional meeting. Sisters who have just met for the | :18:12. | :18:24. | |
first time, Mary aged 88 and live now 76. We just fell into e`ch | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
other's arms and cuddled each other. It was so wonderful. I have never | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
had a brother or sister the, you see. Mary began delving into her | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
background 15 years ago aftdr receiving her birth certificate | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Born to a single mother in 0928 Mary was given up for adopthon but | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
aged eight her adoptive mother put her in an orphanage. They wdre very | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
poor and having adopted me, perhaps she couldn't afford to keep me, I | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
don't know, I've never known the reasons. Olive came along 12 years | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
later when their biological mother, Florence, settle down with ` new | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
family. I do wish I'd known, I really do wish I'd known. It might | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
have even made a difference to our lives. I might not have even gone | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
out to Australia if I knew H had to sister here. I feel very upset that | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
we haven't met before because I felt I lost out on a proper childhood. I | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
don't feel I had a real childhood like I the families. Three puarters | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
of the century may have passed but these long lost sisters havd a lot | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
to catch up on. Never too l`te. Never too late. My only regret is | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
that it has taken so long to do so. Now that we have got each other I | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
don't want to let her go! Well, Mary and Olive contacted | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
us about their story. And if you have a story you think | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
we should be covering on South East Today, | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
we'd like to hear from you. A non-league football | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
team from Surrey will be hoping for a bumper payday | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
after being drawn at home in the first round of the F@ | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
Cup for the first time. Merstham FC, who play in thd seventh | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
tier of English football, will face League One Oxford United | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
at the beginning of November. The team includes a trainee | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
financial adviser, assistant deputy Their only paid member | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
of staff is the bar steward. And while the likes of Arsenal have | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
big-name backers such Emirates, Merstham FC are sponsored | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
by their local car body rep`ir shop. Piers Hopkirk is at | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
the club for us now. This is a big deal for Merstham | :20:44. | :20:56. | |
Yes, it is. Just to put it hnto perspective, Merstham have ` home | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
game tonight and they are playing Folkestone in Victor. They `re | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
expecting around 200 people through the gate but in a few weeks' time | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
they will expect ten times that when Oxford United come to town. This was | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
the goal that netted a little Merstham FC the club's first ever | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
appearance in the first round of the most famous cup competition in the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
world. No sooner had the euphoria settled than the part-timers from | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
Surrey were handed a bigger prize still. Number 34. They have a home | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
tie against Oxford United, tenth in League 1. Calais has no Russian | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
billionaire to call upon and all the staff at the club are volunteers. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
You won't find a chairman ptffing on a cigar in the boardroom, hd runs a | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
butchers shop. It means absolutely everything, it is what we h`ve been | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
working towards but you nevdr think will happen. Previously we have gone | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
out of the cup very early on and now to reach the first round has given | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
the club such a lift. On thd pitch Reese Hall is a talented midfielder | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
by the wiki as a trainee financial adviser. You are buzzing to get a | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
League 1 team in the first round proper and it is what dreams are | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
made of. The club has -- thd cup has already won Merstham ?30,000 and | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
they will get another 18,000 if they win this match. The potenti`l of a | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
6-figure pay-out is not bad for a club with one paid member of staff. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
This is what the FA Cup is `ll about and what dreams are made of. You | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
never thought that you could top the achievement from Saturday in beating | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Airbus fleet and only a few days later here we are, preparing for a | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
really good club in Oxford. It is not just the club that gets a lift, | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
club fever spreads further. To Merstham, being a little village, | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
now we have the chance to show that we are something about a dot on the | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
map, but something a little bit special. So club and town alike will | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
be praying for more of this, as a bit of cup magic beckons for | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Merstham. The game against Oxford will take | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
place sometime over the weekend of November the 5th, everybody here | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
will be hoping for some firdworks. I am sure they will! Thank xou. | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Now he shot shot to fame nine years ago on the hit TV programme | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Any Dream Will Do where he hmpressed the likes of Andrew Lloyd Wdbber | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
And since Lee Mead has a had string of box office West End hits. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
And next Thursday he's coming to Tunbridge Wells | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
Briohny Williams has been to meet him. | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
This is the moment Lee Mead 's life changed for ever. Merstham! Whittled | :23:46. | :23:59. | |
down from thousands of applhcants he got to play Joseph in the Wdst End. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
It is the song that made hil famous, but he has carved out a carder | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
beyond Joseph. 15 years of wearing loincloth! That is all you `re, you | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
are just Joseph. But seriously you have another career. I am rdally | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
proud of it. In the concert shows I sing any dream Will do and H am | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
really proud of that period and that show was such a huge platform to do | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
more things. He has gone on to perform in other stage shows and | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
took the leap into television dramas, playing lofty in casualty, a | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
role he would like to revivd. The door is still open. I just needed a | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
year off because I have a d`ughter and I was missing school runs. I | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
also had a chance to do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and play Dhck Van | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Dyke for five months. After playing many different characters hd is | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
performing as himself on a TK album tour. Playing leads in musicals and | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
doing TV roles is always grdat fun and a challenge but have yotr own | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
show is your baby really. Hd will be practising at the assembly Hall | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, placing us fond memories. I have sedn shows | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
here and at 19 I did a tourhng production of Joseph and I can | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
remember going for dinner at Tunbridge Wells and passing the | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
theatre over the years and thinking it be really nice to do a show there | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
one day so I am really excited about that. Next week he is. | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
He can sing, can't it? Let's take a look at what the weather is doing in | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
the next few days with Rachdl. What is going to do? | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
It is pretty decent and we will see a lot of dry weather around but it | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
is feeling quite chilly. Early today first thing we had a cold front and | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
it cleared through pretty qtickly but behind it are pretty decent day. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
A lot of cloud cover around and temperatures several degrees down on | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
the values we had yesterday. Yesterday highs of 17 or 18 but | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
today some places haven't got much above 12 or 13. As we go into | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
tonight initially some scattered showers but for the most part | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
clearer skies. We are going to see temperatures really fall aw`y so | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
overnight lows of seven or 8 degrees. First thing on Wednesday a | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
lot of sunshine around and the area of low pressure stays out to the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
West -- the east of us and eventually we have scattered showers | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
but for many of us it will stay dry. The area of high pressure to thank | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
for that. A lot of sunshine, feeling chilly. The reason for that is the | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
winds move back to north-westerly direction and they are quitd brisk. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
Temperatures of 14 or 15 and a similar feel to today. To go from | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
Wednesday to Thursday we will again see clearer skies and overnhght | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
temperatures of seven or 8 degrees. Quite chilly start to the d`y on | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
Thursday. The further east xou are the more likely you are to see a few | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
scattered showers. It will be particularly heavy and on Friday | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
more of the same. As we look towards the weekend the wind goes b`ck to an | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
easterly direction and on S`turday and Sunday we stay mostly dry. For | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
the next couple of days somd really lovely if slightly autumnal feeling | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
weather. It will be all right for thd | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
weekend, that makes a changd. Thank you for that. I will be back with | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
the updater APM and also at 10: 5pm. See later this evening. Goodbye | :27:37. | :28:06. | |
