Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well. I hope you can join me tonight, BBC1 at 6.30pm for all the days news and also the little man will have the weather forecast. Also tonight, Ill be talking to one of the stars of Spooks, whos in Hull at the moment. Well be finding out why. So join me tonight at the usual time.
Local Music Theres an email here from Christine Tuton and shes asking for a little bit of a plug on the local music scene, which is fine. She says, Dear Peter, Ive heard that youre always on the look out for local talent (There is a little bit in brackets there, which I wont read out!!) Id thought Id mention that the Cox Brothers are gigging at the Tap and Spile Pub on Springbank on Thursday. Theyre regulars on the local music scene and doing very well indeed. So if you want to get along to the Tap and Spile on the 20th October, starting roundabout 9.15pm. Also a note here, this one is from Fiona and David Scruton Our family are all big fans of the Levy Letter and I wonder if you could give a mention to our son Oliver. Were very proud of Oliver Thomas Scruton, who is the big 7 on Saturday 22nd October. Hes an excellent reader and would love to see his name in the Levy Letter. So we hope you will be able to include him in your birthday mentions as it will be a super surprise. Well, no letter of course on a Saturday, but lets give him an early mention. Oliver Thomas Scruton a very happy birthday for Saturday, when you will be 7. Oliver, thank you very much indeed and I hope you will continue to watch Look North. Beauty Sleep For many generations, women have been encouraged to get their beauty sleep, but now a new study today suggests that a solid eight hours in bed each night is more important for the mind than it is for the face! So there you, if youre not getting your eight hours, dont stress about it. The people who conducted the study expected to find a significant development of dark circles around the eyes and perhaps more redness, but even at the end of the experiment none of them looked that grossly tired. Not sure that I would fit in with that one. Yesterday I was talking about those kits that go on sale next year to test fertility, which cost about £80 werent they? Well I read this morning that men who smoke are significantly less likely to father a child, research has shown. Two thirds of smokers failed the test to find out whether their sperm had the normal ability to fertilise an egg. Heavier smokers were more likely to fail the test. And those who did fail were on average 75% less fertile than non-smokers. So a little bit extra there on the same theme. Pictures Dont forget to keep your pictures coming in for the Big Screen. Weve had plenty this week, but just a reminder that come the end of next week our Children in Need calendar goes on sale at £5 each with all proceeds going to Children In Need. I will give you more details of course next week. In the meantime, if you want to send your pictures in electronically, all of your digital photos for the Big Screen, as many views as possible, to the usual address of course to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Noel Edmonds Well, after five years away from the television, I read this morning that the fifty-six year old television presenter, Noel Edmonds, once Britains highest paid TV entertainer after five years away is coming back to your screens. Hes to host a TV game show on Channel4. The programme is called Deal or No Deal. Filming will start next month. The game show has twenty-two contestants and they compete for a top prize of £250,000. Its already been a hit in forty countries. And now the veteran Radio One DJ is back on our TV screens. So thats Noel Edmonds back, but without Mr Blobby! Leave it to Levy Just a reminder, were still looking for your problems or issues that we may be able to solve on the programme. Again, as usual just drop me a line with the details of your problem and of course include a contact telephone number, email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Housework A new report out tells us just how long we spend in our average life doing certain jobs. Well, housework takes four years of our life! Three months is spent sitting in a doctors waiting room. This is of course based on an average life span. Twelve months spent relaxing in the theatre or cinema. Sixteen months of our lives are spent cleaning, eighteen months of our life is spent shopping. And these are the interesting ones watching TV - five years, six months of our life - working, seven years minus eight weeks of tea breaks! But the worst one of the lot, twenty-four years and four months of our life what do you think that is? That is sleeping! Twenty-four years of our life spent sleeping and thats about a quarter of an average persons life spent in bed! Well thats some figures just out, which make for quite interesting reading. Smokie Well, I announced the other day about our Smokie competition to win tickets to go see Smokie perform at Grimsby Auditorium this week. Well weve randomly picked out our winner and she is Julie Worman! So congratulations to Julie! We hope you enjoy it! Well thats it from me for today. Join me tonight BBC1 at 6.30pm and I hope your day continues to go well!
