Thank you, Tomasz. That is all from the News At Six, | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Farmers facing a financial crisis ` a big increase in the number who are | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
struggling with unsustainable debt. Good evening. Charities say they are | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
receiving more calls for help from Devon and Cornwall than anywhere | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
else. I'm of the time when I should clear all my debts, one should be | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
able to have less repayment with the mortgage gone, but unfortunately, | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
now I haven't. And tonight, the warning of poaching | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
becoming a problem of deer. We will discuss the issue tonight. And free | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
at last. The Greenpeace campaigners from Devon leave jail in Russia. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Rural charities are concerned debt is reaching unsustainable levels | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
amongst farmers in the South West. The Farm Community Network says it's | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
dealing with more cases from Devon and Cornwall than anywhere else in | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
the country with the majority of calls relating to finances. The wet | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
winter and the freezing spring are thought to be largely to blame. In a | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
moment we'll hear from the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
but first this report from Anna Varle. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
It has been a difficult two years for Tom. He is one of many farmers | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
in the region hit hard financially by the appalling weather in 2012. He | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
has had to sell a third of his herd and ask the bank for a ?20,000 loan | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
to keep going. It feels like a weight on my shoulders. I am now | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
getting one bit and I'd rather I didn't have this. I'm at a time when | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
should clear all my debts and should be to have less repayment with the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
mortgage gone and everything else, but unfortunately, now I haven't. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Like many farmers here, his fields were under water for months, which | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
meant he had no land to graze cattle on. Tom is not alone in increasing | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
his overdraft. We will charities say debt is reaching unsustainable | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
levels. `` rural charities. Joe is now working with many people who | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
have reached crisis point. It can be a very isolated lifestyle, farming. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
They don't have contact often was many people visiting their farms and | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
if they don't have a family to offer them support, pressures and worries | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
on the farm can seem to be very... Insurmountable and they don't know | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
where to go to get help, so often having someone to talk to, that can | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
help them think about possible solutions. `` contact often with | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
many people. In Devon alone, the charity is already supporting a | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
total of 230 farmers and their families this year. That is before | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Christmas hits. Animals had not grown as well as they normally do | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
and losses were heavy, certainly in the sheep sector. Lots of cows were | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
lost because of the bad winter and bad conditions. But generally, | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
people were very `` at a very low ebb because of the high workload as | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
well. The weather has been kind of this summer and Tom is starting to | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
rebuild his herds. But with just a month to go till Christmas, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
charities are reminding farmers not to suffer in silence. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Phillipa Spackman from the Royal Agricultural | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Benevolent Institution. I asked her why so many farmers in the South | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
West were struggling with debt. While the problems we have actually | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
had this year are that we are still mopping up from the effects of last | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
year, and if you think about the weather and floods that affected | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Somerset in particular, and then the extreme cold and the snow that has | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
affected people this spring, in fact, you can see how many, many | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
thousands of pounds of extra costs were born by many, many farmers. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
Really through losses. Just give us an idea of how serious things are? | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
How bad is it for some farmers? We are giving people money for things | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
like food, school uniforms, and we are helping them to pay with | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
funerals. These are costs which are substantial and they can really | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
through any family finances into turmoil. Non`farming families are | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
going through difficulties as well. Our farmers any worse than anyone | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
else in society at the moment? They would not want to be seen as a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
special case because, as you say, we're all suffering from the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
impending rise in bills and the extra cost is we are paying in our | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
utility bills and supermarkets. But three years ago, the government did | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
a report that said a quarter of four farming families were already on or | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
below the poverty line. `` of all families. And the domestic accounts | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
are almost intertwined with the business accounts, so problems can | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
quickly stem on the family finances. How well resourced are you, given | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
the demand for help is on the increase? We have given up twice as | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
much money so far this year to people of working age. It used to be | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
the cage `` case that we traditionally helped people who were | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
retired all had cases of illness or disability. But a third of cases | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
coming to us are working farming families. We are very grateful to | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
the help from the public as they have responded to amend a sleeveless | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
year. And the Prince of Wales has also given a lead in making | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
donations to our charity. `` have responded tremendously this year. | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
But we are seeing a rise in money being given out in grants to people | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to help them cope with everyday expenses. Thank you. | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Meanwhile, farmers on Exmoor are finding themselves a hotspot for | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
deer poaching. The police say thieves are now working in teams to | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
illegally kill and sell the animals. They are benefiting from the high | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
price of venison and demand from abroad for antlers. Last month, the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
heads of 11 stags with antlers sawn off were found dumped near South | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Molton. Farmers, wildlife groups and police are tonight meeting to | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
discuss the problem. Spotlight's Hamish Marshall is there. The | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
meeting will take place here in the village hall in about an hour's | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
time. The value of deer carcasses has doubled in the last four years | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
to around ?200 each and the antlers can fetch thousands, as you say, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
especially on the export market. Why is this place being targeted? Well, | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
the animals, there is a very high concentration of red deer and good | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
quality as well. Large animals, and the larger the animal, the more the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
carcass can be sold for. There are also decent medications here, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
allowing poachers to get away. Joining me now is a policeman who is | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
the wildlife officer for Devon and Cornwall. How big a problem is this? | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
It is difficult to get figures but we are being told we are not seeing | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the normal numbers in season compared to the growth of the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
population. People are also apparently trespassing on the land | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
at night to the point where they are hearing shots fired. So you think | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
this is becoming quite organised crime? Yes. We believe there are | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
organised teams in the south`west taking deer illegally. It is the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
season for deer shooting but you need the permission of the landowner | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
and you cannot do it at night`time? Absolutely. The main thing I am | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
getting from residents is shooting at night`time, and that is dangerous | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
as well. You have a project going on at the moment. Tell us what it is | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
trying to achieve. Operation Trespassers is to tackle nationally | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the problem of poaching. Certainly it is a national wildlife crime | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
priority because of the concerns raised by my residents, and that | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
means it is a real priority. I can confirm that a number of heads were | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
found a few weeks ago or a month ago in South Moulton and the antlers | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
were sawn off. They probably were taken illegally and dumped there. We | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
are hoping the public will become our eyes and ears and take | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
confidence to report matters to us. We can then plan our patrols | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
effectively. Thank you. We will be at the meeting and we will have more | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
on this in our late news. Thank you. Three people from Devon who were | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
arrested as part of a Greenpeace protest have been released from | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Russian jails. Iain Rogers from Exeter, Alex Harris from Dolton, and | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Kieron Bryan from Shebbear were arrested in September. Emma | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Thomasson has been to meet some of their families. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Elated to be free. Alex Harris, who works as a communications officer | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
for Greenpeace, was released on bail from a women's prison in St | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Petersburg. Her first thoughts were of her family. I'd love them so | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
much, and thank you to them. My mum, my dad, my sister, Georgie, my | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
cousin Gemma. All of my friends. The whole of Greenpeace and the 2 | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
million people all around that who signed the petition calling for our | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
release. Just thank you so much for your support. I wouldn't be free if | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
it wasn't for them. A massive sense of relief for her parents and sister | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
back in Dolton. Alex was straight on the phone to contact them. I | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
answered it and she said, it is me. And they said, who is me? And she | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
said, Alex. I'd just burst into tears. Very, very happy. Fantastic. | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
It is such good news. Lovely to see her face and you can see how happy | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
she is. It is wonderful. I told her I loved her and I was very proud of | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
her and she became a bit emotional and eye became a bit emotional! So I | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
broke the ice by saying, promise me one thing. The next time you go to | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the Arctic, please go with a cruise liner! ?? WHITE Alex was one of 30 | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
people arrested after the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise was boarded by | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Russian security forces during a protest against oil drilling. They | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
were originally charged with piracy. That was was then downgraded to | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
hooliganism, which still carries a maximum penalty of seven years in | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
jail. Also released this morning, freelance video journalist Kieron | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
Bryan whose family lives in Shebbear. Tough. Really tough for | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
everyone, I'm sure. More than anything, it is the isolation, not | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
being able to speak to anyone, not being able to speak a common | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
language, and being trapped in a cell 23 hours a day is something I | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
don't ever want to experience again. ?? WHITE Kieron's dad is just | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
relieved to see his son out of jail. It has been a bit of a nightmare | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
throughout, really. Russia have made their point, possibly. Those people | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
there should really dropped the charges and have let them go. The | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
families are now hoping they'll be allowed back to the UK soon. If not, | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
they're applying for visas to travel to Russia. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Police in Exeter have arrested a 25`year`old man on suspicion of | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
murder following the death of a man last night. Officers were called to | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
a house in Alphington Road just before eight o'clock. A 43`year`old | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
man was found inside and was taken to hospital, where he died from his | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
injuries. A woman has told Spotlight how she | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
feared an abusive ex`partner would snatch her son because he was able | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
to track her movements by stalking her on the internet. Today a | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
campaign was launched by Devon Cornwall Police and domestic | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
violence organisations to highlight the link between domestic and sexual | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
abuse, and cyberstalking, as John Henderson reports. | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
I've just can't get away, there is nowhere to run, I sought the help, | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
get out the house, and still he has his fund. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
A poem from Melanie about what it's like being stalked online. Melanie | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
isn't her real name. We've changed it because cyberstalking almost | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
ruined her life. Looking over your shoulder all the time, being in | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
town, thinking, you know, is he going to come from nowhere and | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
snatch my son? It is just scary how people can do this over the | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
internet. The internet has made communicating via social media sites | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
easier. But there are dangers. Cyberstalking is a feature of | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
domestic and sexual abuse. This morning in Exeter, police and victim | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
support groups spelt out the risks. We might say where we are going | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
rather than where we have been, so somebody knows physically where we | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
are going to be and at what time, and people check in. They might put | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
about their emotional state, things they are feeling, things they would | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
never normally dream to tell. The theme of the campaign is, everything | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
you do online leaves a trace. Which, in turn, helps the police stalk the | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
stalkers. People have this perception that anything online is | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
acceptable because it is online. They could be using an anonymous | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
profile. It isn't acceptable at all. Anything posted is in the public | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
domain and it will be dealt with swiftly. Melanie says she's staying | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
online. Quitting would give her abuser control and power. We need to | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
fight this cyber war to keep survivors strong. | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Puddings at the ready ` we'll be gearing up for Stir Up Sunday. | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
And as Dr Who celebrates his 50th anniversary, could this be his | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
biggest fan? Time for the sport now. The owner of | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
the Cornish Pirates has denied that his stepping aside will herald the | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
end of professional rugby in Cornwall. Dicky Evans has made the | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
decision to take a back seat after 20 years at the helm. He now wants | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
shareholders to step up and play their part to keep the club going. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Andy Birkett has been talking to the Kenya based businessman. | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
When Dicky Evans announced he was stepping aside, many in Cornwall | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
wondered if this was the beginning of the end. I will still continue to | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
sponsor the club at I do not have the time or, frankly, at the moment, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
the energy to carry on trying to keep an eye on everything. We are | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
hoping to put in place a proper board, a board of direct is, | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
representing the shareholders. We deliberately kept the subscription | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
to a low level so nobody can own this club. So what they are getting | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
is a club in the upper reaches of the championship with a stadium, | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
probably available 2017, 2018, plus support from me going forward, but | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
are actually don't have the time now to be involved on a day`to`day basis | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
with the running of the club. But at the moment, what stadium? Nobody is | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
willing to pay for the site held at the moment outside Truro. Three of | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
us paid for the design of the stadium. It cost 40 million. What we | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
don't have is the silver spoon in the mouth that perhaps other clubs | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
have had, whereby they could sell a ground and start off with 50 | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
million`plus to build a stadium. It is a bit cheeky but it is very easy | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
to spend another man's money. People might say, he has got hundreds of | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
millions of pounds. What difference does it make if he pays for this | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
himself? And you are cheeky! That is not fair. I don't have that money. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
If I did, I would pay for a stadium. That is not to say that if a stadium | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
doesn't come at the right time and eye can liquidate the assets I have | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
currently around the world at a profit that I might not put some | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
money in, but I don't have that money to hand. But the council dials | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
and last year it voted against using public money to fund it. I think you | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
are well aware I was in tears when they voted against the stadium | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
because we had an agreement with the council that they would provide a | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
stadium and eye would provide the team. I've kept my side of the | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
bargain and they did not keep theirs. `` I would. The council was | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
clear that public funding would not be used for the stadium, it said. He | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
flew in from his home in Kenya last week to watch his beloved pirates. I | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
was in Jersey not just for the rugby but to talk to the family, the | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
people who have forked out all this money. They think I'm mad. But they | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
did me proud when I was a kid so you have to look after people on the way | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
up because you might need them on the way down. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
The Cornish Pirates are at home to second`placed Bristol on Sunday. | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Tonight, Plymouth Albion go in search of their first home win of | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
the season against Bedford, who've lost seven of their first eight. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
In the Premiership, the Exeter Chiefs host the leaders Saracens at | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Sandy Park tomorrow. The Londoners have lost just once all season in | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
the League, while the Chiefs, with only two defeats, have come against | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
top four sides Northampton and Leicester. | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
Onto football, and Yeovil Town and Torquay United have chances to ease | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
their relegation fears this weekend. Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle both | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
face teams chasing promotion. Alan Richardson has a look head to the | :17:52. | :18:08. | |
weekend's action. Your Vail can look to improving. But others will be | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
looking for a repeat of last year's 2`1 win over the Rovers. Tomorrow, | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
there is a relegation six pointer in deep to from the manager as they | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
look to move out of the bottom to at Accrington Stanley's expense. Exeter | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
city look for their first win in six. Watch Dale could go top. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
Plymouth Argyle look to extend their unbeaten run to seven games and they | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
host Dagenham Redbridge. Pupils at a school in Exeter are helping to | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
provide lives at a soup kitchen for the homeless. Even more impressive | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
is the fact that the youngsters are growing the ingredients in their own | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
garden. John Henderson has been to see them digging, cooking and | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
delivering school meals with a difference. | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
Ready, go! Josh and Joe getting stuck in. First task, pull up some | :19:10. | :19:28. | |
vegetables. Wait! ID and you pull! The boys are a `` are pupils at a | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
school for children with various complex needs and abilities. This | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
garden is a great place to learn. Leeks picked, it is time to get them | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
inside. This is heavy! I will splatter it all over! I dropped one! | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
Dropped it! A careful wash... Then slice and dice. This is going into a | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
vegetable soup for homeless people. It means people can get food if they | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
have not got a home. This is tasty. And they don't have to find food. | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
They can go and get free food and it keeps them warm. For their teachers, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
it is an exercise in understanding where food comes from and working as | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
a team to prepare it. And also an understanding of themselves as part | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
of the wider community. And perhaps there are others less fortunate than | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
themselves and then maybe by growing vegetables and cooking food, they | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
can help these people. Lend it up, the young chefs are happy with their | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
work. Do you like it? Yeah. What do you think the homeless people will | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
say? Good! And a few hours later, a dozen or so people coming off the | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
streets. It is cold outside and hot meal is just what they need. Super | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
hits the spot. It is with vegetarian all Beacon, even, and with it being | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
local vegetables, it is fantastic. And it is all seasonal. Early on. | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Really nice, warm, friendly environment to be in. And for all | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
their efforts, they have won ?500 from the recent community awards by | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
the University of Exeter. The plan is to spend the money on another | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
poly tunnel to keep the food coming and Josh and Joe Busey. | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
It's scared generations of youngsters ` and some adults, for | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
that matter ` and this weekend celebrates its 50th anniversary. All | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
over the world, audiences will simultaneously enjoy a special | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
episode of Doctor Who to mark the milestone. The programme has | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
millions of fans who know everything there is know about the Time Lord, | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
his companions and his foes. But in Somerset, there's one follower who | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
maybe the biggest fan of all. Clinton Rogers has been to meet him. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
To call Tom Jessops a fan is, well, an understatement. In a bedroom | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
which is a shrine to the Time Lord, Tom has been glued to his TV screen | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
watching every available Dr Who episode from the past 50 years. | :22:27. | :22:41. | |
Don't be alarmed. Come from a land far away. Actually, no, I've just | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
come from my office in Taunton! Obvious question first ` white? Why | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
watch every single episode? Well, back in 2010, I realised we were | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
only a few years ago from the anniversary season, so I thought, | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
yeah, 2013, the 50th anniversary... So, hang on, you prepped this? Yes. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
But this is TV viewing in the extreme. 798 episodes. 3,000 hours | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
of TV, averaging, he says, four episodes a day. Obsessed or just? | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
Obsessed fan! The cinema worker from Yeovil has met all of the surviving | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
13 doctors over the past 13 years. Colin Baker is his favourite, you | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
sense. Look at this! Oh, and he also has a wardrobe full of costumes he's | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
either bought or had made. And, here it is... My favourite. Colin Baker! | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
That is bright! Oh, yes. Probably the best`dressed man in Yeovil, who | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
will be dressing as the Doctor when he goes to work at Yeovil cinema on | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Saturday for a big`screen showing of a special anniversary episode. | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
Now, that is dedication, isn't it?! It is time for the weather. We seem | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
to have a bit of a problem tonight because David is not here... Anybody | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
got a number for him? He is making a spectacular arrival! | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
LAUGHTER Who knew you got here like that?! No | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
expense was spent on that at all! I don't think the real doctor has | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
anything to worry about whatsoever! Let's just get rid of this. I will | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
press my clicker! A bit more down to earth, and let's have a look at the | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
forecast. A bit promising with some fine weather around, mist early in | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
the day with frost, and, yes, we will get some sunshine as it is | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
quiet and drive. Several big areas of low pressure, | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
one which isn't too far away from the coast of Spain and Portugal and | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
the other which could give heavy snow over the Alps. A very early ski | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
season there. But for us, and area of high pressure which gently moves | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
in towards us over the weekend, keeping things try and settled, with | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
plenty of sunshine in the daytime but rather cold at night. That is | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
the satellite picture from earlier today. The one exception has been | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
the Channel Islands, where we have had some showers, but the wind is | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
already falling light for the rest of us, and inland, we will see some | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
frost forming tonight. Mist and for patches early in the day, most | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
likely up into East Devon and Somerset. Temperatures anywhere from | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
a few degrees above freezing down to minus two degrees. A cold start but | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
a lovely day after that for Bob and mist has gone. More cloud drifting | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
in towards the Isles of Scilly and West Cornwall, but for all of us, a | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
lovely day. It is not overly warm, so do wrap`up. Temperatures of seven | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
or eight degrees. A bit more in the way of cloud over the Isles of | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
Scilly with the breeze from the north`east. Here are the high water | :26:30. | :26:30. | |
times. And for our surface, not a great | :26:31. | :26:40. | |
deal of swell, so not very big but it is clean. `` our surfers. Not a | :26:41. | :27:00. | |
great deal of wind. So, let's look a bit further ahead. Not a great deal | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
of change for Sunday, still fine and dry with a bit more in the way of | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
cloud coming our way, particularly the further east you are. More cloud | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
for Dorset and Somerset. The dry weather continues into next week but | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
still on the cold side with the risk of some overnight frost. Have a nice | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
weekend and back to you. Before we go, don't forget the | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
Politics Show on BBC One at 11 o'clock on Sunday, when, among other | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
subjects, they'll be looking at housing benefit changes and | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
investment in green energy. We were hoping to bring you Stir Up | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
Sunday, with the Christmas pudding being made by the Royal Navy, but it | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
seems to be stuck in the oven! We will put it on our Facebook page. | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
Have a good weekend. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
