Hi Peter here, Hope you had a good weekend whatever you were doing ? I was recovering after a very lively week at Look North last week!!! I went shopping in Hull yesterday afternoon and had numerous conversations with people still bitter and angry at 'that programme' last week! Anyway today the sun is shining and the rumours are that its going to be a great week of weather .in real life that is not the way it is broadcast on the programme!!
TONIGHT AT 6 30 ============== The long awaiting filming starts today at Lincoln Cathedral for the new film of the book the Da Vinci Code .we will be there tonight live. Caroline Davies will be using her charms all day to try and sweet talk the film moguls in to getting some good shots of the action and a chat with the star Tom Hanks Caroline will be there mixing with the luvvies in the hope of sharing a cup of coffee with Tom and the others. By the way should you spot any of the stars and you get a good picture on your camera then get in touch with me at the usual address. Also on the show tonight an actress from Epworth who was in the Royle Family and whos now in a new comedy ..and the rest of the news that you need, plus the latest on the name change campaign and the little one with the weather. VJ DAY ====== Today marks the 60th anniversary of VJ Day the day the Second World War finally ended. Those who fought against Japan called themselves the Forgotten Army. Well they werent forgotten in the BBCs Open Centre today and we wont forget them on the show tonight. NAME CHANGE ============= Hundreds and hundreds have been voting in the name change for Look North. If you have already then thank you. Its the first time that the BBC has ever asked the audience on something as big as this and you have not let us down with the tremendous response. Soon we shall be drawing up a shortlist of the names which have turned out to be the most popular The Levy Laurel and Hudson Hardy half hour is not on that list I hasten to add!!! We have had some great suggestions and its not too late to vote or even to vote to keep Look North ..Will the name change???? We shall know very soon. If youre quick you can have a Peter Levy ballot box - e mail me as soon as possible to me at my usual address [EMAIL PROTECTED] YOUR GUESTS ============ A good response after me asking who you would like to see on the sofa with me. Amongst the suggestions Bryan Ferry and Paul McCartney - they may be harder to fix than you think, but we'll try. Keep the ideas coming in. It can be stories or it can be guests we are open to suggestions. LEAVE IT TO LEVY =============== Dont forget if you know someone who has a problem which they think the long arm of Look North can help with. Get them to get in touch with me for our Leave it to Levy part of the show. If they have an issue over something and they think I maybe able to help then get them to write to me with the details. Ill need a contact number. And the way we do Leave it to Levy is that person comes on camera and tell us their problem so you get to be on TV too!!! STICKERS ========= No not the Look North car stickers but two design students from Hull have made their own posters with pictures of Levy on them and put them up all over town - They make me look a bit like Frank Sinatra and apparently they are collectors items amongst the students ..you know what they say all publicity . POPULAR BOY ============ We started a competition on the show on Friday to win tickets to see James Blunt in concert in Nottingham. I have just been looking at the huge number of entries for that one. We'll be making the draw for the tickets in a day or so, and we are working on trying to get your man on to the show for a chat. I am a new convert to him having just got his album at the weekend -great stuff. BIG STARS ========= I know from reading my letters and e mail people enjoy seeing the well known people on the show and as I wrote on Friday we have some big names coming up this week-including Jane McDonald and Patrick Mower (Rodney in Emmerdale) and who knows Tom Hanks as well I hope!!!! YOURE NOT ALONE =============== Loads have signed up for the daily Levy Letter - if you know someone who hasnt then tell them its so easy all they have to do is go to the address at the bottom of this email. In the coming weeks we shall have some top competitions which will be open only to those who have the letter .so good job you got in early!!!! Thats all for now, dont forget 6 3O tonight. BBC1 as always.
