Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. Thanks for joining me and I hope youll watch the programme on BBC1 at 6.30pm. A former star of Eastenders will be joining us tonight on the sofa, well have all the days news and of course Paul will have the forecast. Well also have some great news this week about just how many calendars have been sold and how much money weve raised for Children In Need. So try and join me tonight at 6.30pm.
Look North is also giving you the chance to win two tickets to see Paul Daniels in pantomime in Peterborough and the chance to meet him backstage. All you have to do is answer this question Whats the name of Paul Daniels showbiz son, whos also in the magic and comedy industry? Just answer that and let me know and you could win the chance to meet Paul Daniels! Of course, you do have to be available to travel down to Peterborough for this prize, but if you can and you want to enter, then drop me a line with the answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Birthdays This note says, Would you please wish my husband a very happy birthday for the 13th December. His name is John Dawes. Please give him all my love. And that comes from Ann Dawes. So thank you very much for that one, Ann. And its Johns birthday tomorrow on Tuesday, so a very happy birthday to John and have a very good day! And this one says, Dear Peter, Our shop on Newark Road in North Hykeham has just won, for the second year running, the best dressed shop window competition. We think our shop frontage is better than Harrods Christmas window! Were on the main road going towards Newark and the amount of people passing by that enjoy our window is amazing. We think it would be good if you could feature this on the programme! Well, I have passed this on to the producers! It always seems to be the big multiple stores with unlimited resources that receive prominence. Well, were looking for some prominence at this time of the year. Well, that one comes from Carole Thompson and they run Arrow Cycles on Newark Road in North Hykeham. So Ive passed that one on to the producers and well see if we can get some pictures of the shop front. Better than Harrods apparently! This one comes from Leticia Cochran-Hill, Dear Peter, I belong to your Levy Letter list and I look forward to reading your Levy Letter every day. I am in the United States at the moment, but Ill be back in Hull after the holidays. Please would you give my gorgeous husband, Alan Hill a very happy birthday for tomorrow. So Alan, happy birthday to you and Leticia, thank you very much indeed for the note. And this one says, Would you please wish all my friends and family a very happy Christmas and a happy New Year, especially to my husband Brian Bell as its the first time in forty-one years that weve been apart for Christmas. Please tell him that Im missing him. All the best to the Look North team for Christmas and the New Year! That one comes from Carol Bell and a very happy Christmas to Brian. Carol, thank you very much indeed for the note. David Cameron Apparently, the papers have more stories this weekend about David Cameron than anyone else at all. Endless stories - I havent read them all, but one paper says that there are more mentions of David Cameron than anybody else, which I suppose is understandable. Gyles Brandreth, professional wit and former MP, has a new role as Tory Prophet after he predicted, apparently, I read this in the Sunday papers, that thirteen years ago, the new leader David Cameron was the one to watch! And at a Westminster luncheon last week, he said to the gathered audience that unto us a star is born and his name is David! So expect to see Brandreth in the top Tory posts soon, according to the paper. But quite a funny line, nevertheless! And sell out concerts well we seem to do very well in our area. The Sugababes, of course are coming to Hull next year and I see that the gig will be at the City Hall in March. That concert has already sold out and the wonderful Katie Melua is doing a tour during January and February. And the only one of her dates that is completely sold out is the one nearest to us at the Harrogate National Conference Centre. So Katie Melua is on her way to our part of the world in January. And were trying to get another chat with her in the early part of next year if we can. Paul McKenna The latest TV show that everyone is going to be talking about this week is on one of the satellite channels, and its called Paul McKenna Will Make You Thin! The presenter will programme the minds of the watching audience through the television to make them all lose weight! Some worry that this may break broadcasting rules, but he says that this uses programming techniques rather than hypnosis. Well watch this programme and be told, for example, to think of a horrible food, while were eating our favourite meal. Paul McKenna has a 71% success rate, one of the highest in the world to get us to lose weight. So now there is a TV show to help us lose weight. Well, well wait and see on that one, but Paul McKennas programme is starting shortly. Well, thats it from me for today. Enjoy your Monday. Of course, the countdown to Christmas has begun, its less that two weeks away now. So, after a busy day buying Christmas presents and writing Christmas cards, I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm.
