It's absolutely tragic that we couldn't have helped

But we actually only saw the flashing lights.

So, we thought something must have happened.

But, my husband actually managed to see the emergency vehicles there.

IKEA is a much bigger draw than all other shops.

Plymouth would certainly have liked IKEA.

Property experts did try to lure the brand further west.

Is this as far west as IKEA is likely

to be coming or will you go further down the peninsula at some point,

maybe into Cornwall or in the West Devon?

Luke Furse from Holsworthy says his earthmoving company has

worked on almost every road building project in the region.

Now the spotlight Young enterprise competition. This was spotlight 34

years ago, with Kristen at the helm. Tonight getting competitor is a

starting up is less to catch the judges I've. I started a farm and

didn't like it, I wanted to be on the machinery. That's where it

started. And this is Luke Furse today. I remember the filming crew

coming out on filmed me driving my first digger. I think I've got one

work man at the time. It was quite an exciting time in those days.

Remember the love stories Gospel Bridge and the new age 30 bypass,

scheme in the south-west, including the Temple bypass. Fasten your seat

that the BBC's Antiques Roadshow Today the show was in Somerset

kicking off its new series. And as Clinton Rogers reports,

the appalling weather Rain, what rain? The queue told its

own story. 3000 people went to be deterred from showing off their

family treasures. Nice little teddy. come from? I know what was my

grandfathers. Well done to the Beatles for hard days night. My son

had made quite an effective easier. -- some made an effort. This man

from New Zealand who wanted an antiques road show opinion on his

bars. We enjoy it, when we were coming I thought that there is a

shot on I'd like to come. Just to remind you if you have brought any

guns, knives, swords. As for the expense, every show throws up a

surprise or two. This morning we had a deactivated bomb from 1930 and now

used as a doorstop. It will not go bang! And then there is John, who

doesn't bring treasures to be valued, he just likes being in the

audience. In fact he's watched 200 live shows. Do you not get bored?

No. Everyone is different. Different place, different people. I don't,

it's all different. It's 20 years since antique road show last year.

It was a working railway station then and so it was today. The

timetable stops for now one. -- that timetable stops for nobody. Did

Picasso, a hidden gem turn up today? You going to have to wait until the

show is broadcast and that will be sometime in the autumn.

Good to see the crowds were not put off by the red today, let's see what

the weather has in store for us. Pretty wet day for some of us but

we've now lost that persistent rain and it's a brighter day for tomorrow

but with the risk of showers. The but with the risk of showers. The

showers popped up and they can be lively and the odd rumble of thunder

perhaps. Away from the showers we should have nice bells of sunshine.

This is the weather front that was affecting us, clearing eastwards and

in the coming days we have low pressure in the north of the UK and

churning up the atmosphere and allowing these showers to develop.

Allander showers it should be quite bright. -- other than the showers.

Through tonight lingering cloud will clear and starry skies and you might

see an isolated shower in the West but most of us will have a dry night

and a chilly night than we've seen of late locally down to five or 6

degrees. In the started tomorrow morning but a bright morning, lots

of sunshine but gradually the showers develop. The shoppers are

tricky to pin down exactly but it may be that inland areas will see

the lion's share and parts of the north Coast, some fewer showers. A

fresher feel than recent days. Basically, it's a case of sunshine

and showers as we had through the next few days. Some of the showers

may be lively and it should be bright. Pressure over the coming

days and about one by Sunday. Have a good night. That's all for tonight,

thanks for joining us and from all of us here, have a good night.

Goodbye.
