Tonight in the South West, increasing anger over | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Why should a Devon child be worth that much less than somebody | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Critics say a plan to make funding fairer doesn't add up and many | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
Also tonight - removing eco boilers from social housing. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
They're being taken away after elderly tenants struggled | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
to fill them with sacks of wood pellets. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
At this beauty spot in Exeter, a swan has been killed | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
in what police believe was a deliberate | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
A new way is needed, you just can't see it! | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
And the amateur actors hoping that they'll soon be | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Headteachers in Devon and Cornwall are writing to parents asking them | :00:51. | :01:15. | |
to get involved in a campaign to change the way | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
After years of criticism that children in the South West receive | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
less money than those elsewhere the Government has introduced | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
a new way of working out how much each child will get. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Unions say this will actually leave the region more | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
In Devon, the county council says almost two thirds | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Our political reporter Anna Varle has more. | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
Does anyone remember the difference between the people that sat | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
on either side of the room when we are having the debate? | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
It's never too young to get engaged in current affairs. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
But this school is amongst hundreds across the region which is taking | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
politics out of the classroom and direct to Westminster. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
In Devon, pupils like me are currently worth ?290 less | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
To make it fairer, the government is looking at changing | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
They say we will be better off by a little bit. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
What we're trying to do is make sure that every single child, | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
wherever they're growing up in England gets the same amount | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
of funding, with then top up in relation to additional needs, | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
whether it's in relation to deprivation which has been based | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
on out of date data up until now, or indeed additional funding | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
But Devon County Council is one local authority which has | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
And it says far from being better off, 61.9% | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Why should a Devon child be worth that much less than somebody | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
The government's got to do something about it. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Unions claim the formula, coupled with increasing | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
costs such as inflation, could lead to the region's schools | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
being ?105 million worse off in the next three years. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Which will result in fewer teachers and larger class sizes. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
We've cut right the way back in recent years anyway. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
The only thing left to cut unfortunately will be staffing | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
That's why headteachers across Devon and Cornwall are sending out letters | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
to parents asking them to get involved and write to their MP. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
You can't sit there and say that it's the school's job to do | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Your children go over, so you've got a bit of a responsibility | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to make sure you support the school your children go to. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
The more pressure we put on, hopefully the more | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Even Devon's Tory MPs are threatening to oppose | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
If these proposals are adopted, we're going to have 15 | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
primary schools gaining, 20 losing out, and all the secondary | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
This is clearly neither fair nor acceptable. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
The government says that under this new formula, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
schools in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset will benefit. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
The consultation runs until the 22nd of March, | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
and it's keen to hear from parents, schools, governors - | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Our Political Editor Martyn Oates is here now. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
How have we arrived at a situation where Devon is even worse off? | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
We should be clear that this does vary from one local authority to | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
another, and from school to school. So Cornwall Council for instance, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
says that overall Cornwall would gain from this. But as we heard | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
there, there will be winners and losers among individual schools. A | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
similar situation in Somerset. In Devon, which is an authority which | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
historically has been one of the worst funded in the country, clearly | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
the council believes overall it will be worse off. As one Devon MP said | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
recently in Parliament, after all the years of campaigning to change | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
this, it has ever anticipated that when the changes finally came, Devon | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
would be worse off. And Devon is far from alone. Looking across the | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
country, looking across the Commons more particularly, there are lots of | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
furious MPs who say the outcome for their schools in real areas is less | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
fair. Is the government likely to change its mind? The rural MPs, tend | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
to be Conservative MPs, so it is not great for the government to have a | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
lot of discontented MPs on its own backbenchers. Many of the same MPs | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
also very angry at the moment about the level of grant that the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
government's offering to local authorities, and that'll be signed | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
off in a couple of weeks. The focus for | :05:39. | :05:51. | |
a lot of this is something called the rural fair share group, which is | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
now almost entirely run by MPs from Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. As the | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Prime Minister said at premises questions this week, this is still | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
only a consultation, not the final offer. Over the last few years we | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
have seen all of these MPs making a fuss about this kind of thing, | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
threatening rebellions and very often have to say, have been brushed | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
off, sometimes quite briskly by the government. The question is whether | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
this time they can be more successful. Thank you very much. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
And the debate continues in this weekend's Sunday Politics, | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
that's at 11 o'clock on Sunday Morning here on BBC One | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
with guests Peregrine Mears, Sheryl Murray and Gareth Derrick. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
A housing association is removing eco boilers from some | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
of its properties after complaints they were unsuitable for the elderly | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
The boilers need to be filled with sacks of wood pellets, | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
but some residents struggled to lift the bags. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
The equipment had also broken down repeatedly. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Westward Housing in North Devon says its dealing with | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Tony Walker and his wife Jen, who is 68, dread having | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
But if it runs out, their central heating stops working. | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
Jen now has a bad back, and says the couple just can't cope with it. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
It's not very easy at all, especially if you're | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
not well or, you know, I suffer with asthma and breathing. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
And, you know my husband, he's not very well. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Well, it's not appropriate because we're too old. | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
We're just too old now to be able to cope with it. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
There are around six Wesward Housing tenants who are either disabled, | :07:33. | :07:45. | |
have limited mobility or are elderly, who have had these | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
There have also been complaints about them not working properly. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Up the road, tenant Robert Smith's house now has | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
No one told us what we're going to have to do | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
No one said, you're going to have to fill it up day or every other | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
day, and there was no way would have managed to ash it out once a week. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
And there was no consultation with us all. | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
In a statement, Westward Housing told us... | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
The manufacturer, Warmflow, told us... | :08:26. | :08:39. | |
Back at the Walkers, and Tony Walker is pretty clear | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
about what he wants done with his wood pellet boiler. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
I don't want it on site, because it's no use to us. | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
A swan has been killed in Exeter in what police say appears | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
It's the second swan to have been found dead in the past week. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
The news has shocked and angered people who regularly | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
The birds are a protected species and its' illegal to harm them. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Our Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell reports. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Exeter's Swans are familiar and popular site, but in recent days | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
there have been concerns for their welfare after two deaths. On | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Wednesday this week, Devon and Cornwall police say the body of a | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
swan was found close to this footbridge. Exeter City Council have | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
also told us that on Saturday, the body of a swan was taken to the | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
offer is not far from here, and it is understood that the swan had been | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
decapitated. The RSPB says suggestions that the birds may have | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
been deliberately attacked are disturbing. We don't quite know what | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
has happened here. These animals can be attacked, obviously by other | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
creatures, like foxes. But if it is a person that has done this, then | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
this is a really heinous crime, and it does unfortunately happened to | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
Swans. They do get attacked. Of course, it is against the law. In | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
wild birds in the UK are protected under the wildlife countryside act, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
so people do see any crimes against bugs, please report it to the police | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
-- if people do. People who live here say they are concerned. I think | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
it's sad and disgusting behaviour. However, it is very unusual. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Everyone ranter care about the wildlife, and the majority of people | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
coexist very well. Defra has been informed about what happened, and | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
went a's incident has been reported as a crime. Police are appealing for | :10:42. | :10:42. | |
information from the public. Potholes are the curse | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
of motorists across the region, as council's struggle to keep up | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
with the backlog of repairs. In Devon the local authority has | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
turned to volunteers to help patch up the roads in the first scheme | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
of its kind. Jenny Kumah has been to see | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
what progress they're making, but not everyone is happy | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
with the idea. Ken lives in the village | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
of Halberton, and he's part of the yellow army | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
of volunteer road wardens. He's got training and insurance | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
from the county council, Some people say it's double | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
taxation because, you know, we pay our council tax, | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
all this should be done. The trouble is, when the money | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
won't go round, the money is being spent on childcare | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
and adult social care, So, maintaining the roads | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
is an expensive business, especially in Devon, | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
which has the largest road According to the county council, | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
it would cost ?750 million to complete the backlog of repairs | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
and to get the roads This year, the council | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
got ?45 million from But the council says that it | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
needs around ?15 million So is the scheme a form | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
of cheap labour? I mean, we're finding | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
that the parish councils are coming to us and they're taking pride | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
in their communities, and they're saying that they would like to come | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
and help the county council doing The road wardens scheme means | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
that they are expecting free labour to fill in holes in the road, | :12:13. | :12:22. | |
dig out the ditches and clean signs, but we're all | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
paying our council tax. 11 other local councils have shown | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
interest in the volunteer scheme, It's a big Devon Derby | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
football match this weekend. Our intrepid sports | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
reporter has gone to great lengths to catch a glimpse | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
of the top secret training. And this is how cold | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
it is going to get tonight, Also, more cloud coming | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
in from the east. The Devon composer who | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
wrote the music to one of the most watched - | :12:56. | :13:09. | |
and poignant films in the country has today been back | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
to the Teignmouth School that helped Laura Rossi was asked | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
to compose the soundtrack to the Imperial War Museum's film, | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
The Battle of the Somme. She's been holding workshops | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
with music students to help them understand the film ahead | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
of performances with a live symphony After its release in 1916, The | :13:24. | :13:46. | |
Battle Of The Somme quickly became a must see film. It remains the | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
biggest box office success, it was seen by over half the population, | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
and in the first six weeks it was seen by nearly 20 million people. It | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
was a box office record which wasn't beaten until Star Wars in 1977. Just | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
over 100 years on, it is as relevant today as ever. Over an hour and a | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
quarter of life on the front before and after battle. This film was | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
before censorship came in, so it is the only footage of the British dead | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
and wounded to this day. We still don't see any at all. I actually | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
went to the school long time ago, so I'm from Teignmouth. It is really | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
great to be back. Ten years ago, Laura was commissioned by the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
Imperial War Museum to score the film for its 90th anniversary. A | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
year after its Centenary, it is now being screened 100 times around the | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
country. The film screenings are in partnership with the Imperial War | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
Museum, through the First World War Centenary partnership. Today, Laura | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
was back at her old school, having a workshop with people. Sometimes, | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
they might have been in a more high-spirited moment. It isn't | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
necessary because it's the war that you want to write something very | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
does present. You want to fit the scenes, and when I was scoring this, | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
there are busy some winded, but in this team they seem quite happy. So | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
let us think how we can relate that -- there are obviously some winded. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
I was convinced that I'd found my relative who was injured in the | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Somme, and the War Museum says that they are inundated people thinking | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
it is him, but it is probably not him, so I'll keep looking. Will be a | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
chance people into mass on Sunday to see a screening of the film and here | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
it with the orchestra at Exeter Cathedral tomorrow evening. In the | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
cathedral, be absolutely wonderful. You have the have the acoustic, the | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
space and that whole idea of course with the Cathedral itself. And when | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
this film was originally made. I think the music at a tremendous | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
amount. With many people watching the film and perhaps going away from | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
its thinking what it was about. Though often remember they were | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
moved by piece of music that appears and is suitable for the picture | :16:17. | :16:17. | |
didn't. -- for the picture it is in. There are performances of the Battle | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
of the Somme film with live music at Exeter Cathedral tomorrow | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
and Teignmouth Pavilions on Sunday. It's time for the sport now, | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
and Andy's been going to great lengths and heights to find out | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
about this weekend's Devon derby. Some people are calling this game | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
the biggest match ever played between Plymouth Argyle and Exeter | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
City. It's no surprise to hear it's | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
another sell-out at Home Park with around 15,000 fans | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
expected tomorrow. Local bragging are always at stake | :16:55. | :16:55. | |
when these arch rivals meet, but with both sides in the top four | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
of League Two, they're vying for something far more | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
valuable in the long And both were playing their cards | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
very close to their chests. Well, you can tell | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
this is a big game. We're not even allowed to see | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
Plymouth Argyle training. And it's not just Argyle: | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Exeter City have been just as cagey. And they're the form team | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
in the whole of the country, 12 games unbeaten, seven wins | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
in a row and a player whose form in front of goal has seen him break | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
a record that stood at the club I didn't know until I'd equalled it, | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
you know, what the record was. So, yeah, there was a bit | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
of pressure before But yeah, it strange pressure, | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
because, you know, you can't Despite five goals in five wins | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
in January, it was his team-mate Ollie Watkins who is named league | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
two Player of the Month. Yeah, some of the lads give him | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
a bit of stick, but no, Loads of assists and | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
a couple of goals. So I don't begrudge him, but I think | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
scoring every game in a month, It shows you how well we've | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
done the last month. Good form in January, | :18:02. | :18:13. | |
great, but it's about And we're all focused on getting | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
to the end of the season The end of the season, | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
the chance to relax. Well, the Argyle squad couldn't wait | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
that long and jetted off to Spain His plan was a bit different | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
to the one you would think, so it was a lot of training up | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
there. Just nice to train in | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
warm weather, really. So does the form Exeter's players | :18:39. | :18:39. | |
are showing at the moment hold any They're not looking | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
as dangerous as us. You know, we've got, you know, | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
a lot of dangerous players, We're obviously ahead of them | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
in the league for a reason. You know, we'll have to be | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
playing at it some more. -- we will have to be banging at it | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
tomorrow. Neither side giving | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
too much away here. For Argyle, they'll be hoping 13 | :19:11. | :19:11. | |
is unlucky for Exeter is the Grecians look | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
to extend their unbeaten run. For Exeter, they'll be hoping | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
Argyle are still in Siesta It's good to see you starting to | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
branch out with your reporting. I think we'll have to move on quickly | :19:24. | :19:24. | |
from that! Exeter Chiefs' Jack Nowell | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
and Tomas Francis will line up against each other tomorrow | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
when England take on Wales in Cardiff, in round two | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
of the Six Nations. The 23-year-old Cornishman will be | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
hoping to add to his nine international tries when he replaces | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Jonny May on the wing. While Francis has also been called | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
up to the Welsh starting line-up. On Sunday, their club team-mates | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
are back in Premiership action The Chiefs beat them the last time | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
the two sides met at Sandy Park in the Premiership semifinal | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
and with Wasps providing five of the England squad, | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
it looks like a good time to play You know, you can't run away | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
from it, they've got a few But I think regardless of that, | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
everyone's where they've got You know, they've got | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
numerous international So it'll be a tough | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
game whatever happens. That match kicks off at one o'clock | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
on Sunday and Radio Devon will have It's a rest weekend | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
for the Championship, but Plymouth Albion are back | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
at the Brickfields - Finally, our south-west sports | :20:20. | :20:33. | |
personality of the year is one of five gold medal winners from Rio to | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
be named in England team for the upcoming tour to South Africa. In | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
four Riaz, hopefully another gold medal. Thank you very much, Andy. I | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
hope you filled in a health and safety form when he climbed the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
tree. I'm going to take myself back a few years at home and play hide | :20:52. | :20:52. | |
and seek. Thanks, Andy. A film self-funded by a group | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
of amateur actors from Torbay has been short listed for a film | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
festival in Los Angeles. It's about the life of Mordred - | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
the illegitimate son of King Arthur. It's been filmed at locations | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
around the South West Spotlight's Janine | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Jansen has the story. One day my father will rule these | :21:07. | :21:21. | |
lands, as well I. Who needs a multi-million pound budget? This | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
group of South Devon amateur actors had a dream and just ?3000. And to | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
act as he would, not to make your own rules. What am I supposed to do | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
now? Dan Leavy has now impressed Hollywood. Mordred is short listed | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
for a film festival in Los Angeles -- their film has now impressed. You | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
don't have to look hard to see it was filmed entirely on location in | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
Devon and Cornwall. I play Guinevere, and basically when | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Mordred arrives, I don't trust him at all and I have a bad feeling | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
about him. I can't put my finger on it. But I feel like he's going to be | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
a danger. His idea of what's right isn't necessarily the same as one | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
as's. He sees it black and white, whilst they will see the shades of | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
grey. With no grant funding, the South Devon players didn't give up. | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
Through blood sweat and tears, panicking, we have done car-boot | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
sales, jumble sales, crowdfunds. Some of us did a burlesque night, | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
including Mordred. With such a tight budget, everyone mucks in. One of | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the most brutal characters also had the job of teaching his colleagues | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
how to fight. How hard is it to drum up the rage that they need for the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
fight? Did it come quite naturally? I think for a lot of people it came | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
naturally. I think everyone was enjoying it, they were having a good | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
time. They're already psyched up anyway. It was a very brutal style | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
of fighting, so, you know, a lot of shield grubs and kicks and very sort | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
of violent stuff. It's going to look very impressive in the film. Could | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
the Southwest's answer to Game Of Throwing take these budding actors | :23:31. | :23:43. | |
all the way to the top? -- Game of Thrones. A lot of violence, and | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
that's just in the studio! A very chilly weekend. | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
It is cold outside. You need to cuddle up this weekend because there | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
is a very cold easterly wind and low temperatures, some of the coldest it | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
has felt so far this winter. Very chilly. There will be a breeze, and | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
wintry showers around. So those will leave some snow over high ground. At | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
the moment, we have high-pressure -- low pressure over Spain and | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
Portugal, dreadful weather. High-pressure to the north, easterly | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
winds. One weather front trapped in the flow. It has the can of cloud to | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
produce snow showers at the moment. They're coming through central parts | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
of Britain and will travel towards us by the end of the night. The risk | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
of a few flurries in the wind, certainly for Dorset and Somerset. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
By Sunday, the wind is stronger. A similar setup, with a lot of cloud | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
and potentially more wintry showers, too. We continue to see some pretty | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
low temperatures over the next couple of days. We can is definitely | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
a cold one. There are showers and more cloud coming in from the east. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
In the second half of the night. Some clear skies, and certainly | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
frost possible. This was earlier today on the south coast of | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Cornwall. Call having some of the best of them join today, will hazy | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
in places. There is quite thick haze, so reduced visibility because | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
of that. For all of us, it is the wind that makes it feel bitterly | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
cold. It will be with us on Saturday and Sunday. The holes you saw in the | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
cloud are already out there, and that means many of us tonight that | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
temperatures will fall very quickly indeed. Possibly as low as -2, if | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
not -3 overnight tonight. For all of us, bitterly cold, in places rusty | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
start to the day. If you are on the terraces watching that important | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
football match, need to wrap up warmly -- frosty start. The showers | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
falling readily as sleet and certainly over high ground, falling | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
as snow. The amount is likely to be small, but you will notice what is | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
falling out of the sky. Temperatures no more than three or four degrees. | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
If you add wind strength, it will feel a lot colder than that. That is | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. A cold wind and wintry | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
showers, quite blustery wind across the island here. Times of high | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
water, here they are for ports and harbours. Portland at 6:47am, | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
Penzance at 440 7p. If you're brave enough to be at the the show this of | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
year, these are the temperatures. That us look at the coastal waters | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
forecast, pretty lively winds. From the East and North East, Force 5-6. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
A few showers around, Margaret visibility. There is thick haze at | :26:42. | :26:50. | |
sea at the moment. It is the wind direction that dictate our | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
temperature as we move through the next few days. This is Tuesday. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
You'll notice we have changed the colour. It has been very blue over | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
the last couple of days. By Tuesday, there is some yellow. Those at high | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
temperatures, temperatures in double figures. You'll notice that the far | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
south-west of England has some as well. Be patient, because will lose | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
the court, it will warm up eventually. It may take all the way | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
through to the middle of next week before we get some appreciable | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
sunshine and higher temperatures. The next two days are bitterly cold, | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
exacerbated by the strength of the wind. You will need to wrap up very | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
warmly. Have a nice weekend. Thank you very much, David. Wrap up only | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
if you are going to the Devon derby tomorrow. If not, full match | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
commentary on BBC radio Devon from TPM tomorrow. From all of us on the | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
programme, have a good weekend. Goodbye. -- from two PM. | :27:46. | :27:49. |
