Hi there Peter here, I hope you are having a good day. As I write from Look North Towers here in Hull it's very hot and I can almost hear the little one telling me it is 'as forecast'. Paul spent the day here yesterday and we went out in the afternoon on to the streets filming a Look North advert. Loads of people spotted Paul on Whitefriargate and remarked 'gosh isnt he small' of course nothing rude was said to me, thats my story and I'm sticking to it! If youre vaguely interested the advert will be on in the next couple of weeks! Can you contain the excitement?
We had a text vote on the show last night about our name change campaign, and asked very simply should we change the name, we had hundreds of texts in a very short space of time. Its obviously not scientifically accurate but it was almost 50 50 voting for a change and against a change. Its still not too late to suggest your name by e mailing in and dont forget if youre a die hard Look North fan, then you can vote to keep the name Look North. More details next week of our short list of the names which have made it through to the finals ..Meanwhile to everyone whose voted or had an opinion then 'thanks very much' - If you saw last night then you will have seen that even the Bishop of Lincoln has joined the debate, his vote is for COMPASS. Keep them coming in!!! TONIGHT AT 6 30 ============= Well we have been hunting for Tom Hanks in Lincoln this week, he has been pretty elusive but then he's been very busy I guess with making the film of the Da Vinci Code. But I can reveal that today we have a major breakthrough - you wont want to miss the programme tonight. Also this evening weve got another controversial one for you. Let me know what you think. Weve got the latest chapter in the story of the man whos trying to build a rehab unit for drug users in the middle of the Humber. The man is well intentioned. But is this the way to go. CAR STICKERS ============ I followed a lovely white Clio in to work this morning and spotted two Look North car stickers in the back window and very good they looked!!! So its a timely reminder if you would like your own car sticker - just drop me a line and send me a large SAE. FEEDBACK ========= Thanks to everyone whos written back after getting a Levy Letter-its always great to get feedback and Ive had quite a few suggestions for guests for the sofa, keep those coming. By the way today for the first time two LLs will be going to Nairobi in Kenya and also to Luxembourg!!! Look North has a lot of viewers abroad as our big map shows. Of course you would think you live in somewhere like Majorca after the siesta you would have a stroll down to the local bar for a cool beer, but it appears that Look North is just too much of a pull and now our overseas viewers have a chance to read the LL as well. If you know someone abroad who would like to get the letter then get them to register at one of our two usual sites, as ever the address is at the bottom of the page. It would also be great to get an e mail or two from abroad just to let me know where you are and why???? ON THE SOFA =========== Still more suggestions are coming in for guests you would like to see on the red sofa, keep those coming. Last night we had Patrick Mower on the show, what a great guy he is and he lives in Lincolnshire!! Patrick, who plays Rodney in Emmerdale, admitted that he and his wife watch Look North-always said he had taste despite the medallion! COMPETITION =========== There will be details before the end of the week about an exclusive competition for LL readers only- so make sure you dont miss that one, remember this will be for LL readers only and wont be on Look North. Its my way of saying a big thank you to my loyal readers. Please continue to pass the word about the LL to your friends and family and get them to sign up. BIG SCREEN PHOTOS ================= I was interested to read in the paper at the weekend that it wont be long before film cameras are extinct and we will all be using digital cameras and judging by the number of photos that are sent to me digitally I guess I am not surprised. If you have a digital camera send me your best view of the region and I will try and get it on the TV one night when we show our viewer's photos-its been one of the most successful things we've done on the show and I think thats down to the digital camera. I really must get one! And talking of your photos I've just been sent some fabulous shots of Tom Hanks in Lincoln. They really are great so I'll be showing them on the show tonight and a big thank you to Steven who took the shots and sent them in. Well must get on now there's still loads to do, thanks for reading and have a good evening and dont forget to join me at 6 3O on BBC1.
