Hello, its Peter here for Thursdays Levy letter, hope your day is going well and that youll be able to join me as usual six thirty BBC 1. Paul will be there with the forecast and of course well bring you all the days news. Talking of Paul, yesterday he was sharing the stage, at a literary luncheon with the legendary comedian Eric Sykes. I understand that it all went extremely well; the audience were very appreciative of both Paul and Eric. And news on the grapevine, not that its for me to give any compliments, but I hear his book Thats the Forecast is excellent and is selling very well indeed. By the way if youre around a certain book shop on Saturday morning at round about 11 oclock, Paul and I will be there for an hour or so. If you can make it down, look forward to seeing you.

Richard Whiteley As you know Ive mentioned this several times over the last few months, the sad death of Richard Whiteley in June of this year. Until he fell ill with pneumonia he had never missed a day presenting Countdown. Well today there is a memorial service in York Minster, for Richard Whiteley. Not just for family and friends but also for Countdown viewers as well. Of course, as ever our thoughts are with Richards family. Music I see that soon we will be buying more music over the internet and on the computer than actually in record shops, thats from a report out today. Makes you wonder if the record shops days are numbered, I dont know maybe theyll be one or two on the high street, because theyll always be some people who prefer buying a CD to downloading music. Although I guess things have changed so much from my day when you went out and bought a 45 single, which is how it was for many years. My favourite record at the moment, which Ive just downloaded off the internet is The Corrs and Old Town, its a great song and also, it sort of reminds me of happy times in Hull , because theyre singing about the old town. Obviously theyre not singing about Hull but its a good record, The Corrs, catch it if you can. Harry Potter Well the critics are united that the latest Harry Potter movie is the best yet and the scariest. Amidst the glowing reviews there was growing concern that it could be too frightening for the boy wizards younger fans. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has a 12a rating, meaning that children under twelve cannot see it without an adult. Its the first time that a Harry Potter film has had such a classification, the three previous movies were each rated PG. So there we are, Harry is getting scarier and scarier! Pregnancy Scientists have unlocked the secret of what makes a happy family. A stress free pregnancy can apparently deliver a popular child. All mothers to be wonder what kind of adult their baby will become, will there child grow into a sociable creature, for instance, bonding easily with others or will he or she struggle to make friends. Well scientists think theyve discovered the key to ensuring a childs success in forming relationships, their mother must avoid stress while pregnant.
