Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight. Was your weekend good? If you had something planned, then I hope it went well. If you can, then I hope youll be able to join me for Look North on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news, including the latest on the murder investigation of a twenty-nine year old mum of one, who was found strangled to death in a ditch. I'll be talking to the Chief Superintendent in charge of the case and of course, Look North will have the very latest on any developments.
Plus Look North will be on an estate in Bransholme where parents are up in arms, because the council have stopped their children playing football on a patch of grass near their homes. However, residents have CCTV evidence of some of the children making the lives of local residents, hell. Ill have the full story from all sides of the story tonight on the programme. Also on the programme tonight, I'll meet the fifteen year old with cerebral palsy, who hopes to be the youngest horse rider at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. Its a fantastic story and I wish him well. Paul will have the forecast tonight. And I'm sure he will be very difficult and smug today. Yesterday he was inaugurated as Mayor of Wetwang. Our cameras were there in the village yesterday to see him in all his finery and I'm sure he'll be boasting about his special day with me on the programme tonight. Palace I dont know if you saw the show last night from Buckingham Palace, but my word, what a star studded line-up it was. I didnt see the whole show, because I suppose it was aimed at children really, but it was an amazing line-up to celebrate the Queens eightieth birthday. And all the actors and artists were working really hard to give the kids a good time. Of course, there were some children from our region who were there as well. It was very lucky that the weather stayed dry in London yesterday. Anyway, that was last night. I hope all the children enjoyed themselves! And just a reminder as well, that as were talking of events happening outside, then its getting closer to the switching on of the Mablethorpe lights. Its one of the biggest events of the East Coast and if you can make it down to the coast, then Paul and I will be there. Its a Sunday night in July and there will be full details coming up in the next couple of days. Top Of The Pops Youve probably heard about this and read about it at the end of last week. Many people from my age group will be disappointed to see the demise of Top of the Pops and the end of an era. What do you think? Are you sad to see it go? Also of course, Enid Blyton! I read her books at school and theyve now been updated, but the latest books have got some word changes! Biscuit has been replaced with cookie to appease the American market. Queer has been changed to odd and the Dame Slap has been replaced with Dame Snap! Those are the latest Enid Blyton books, which have recently been republished with a few alterations! Ancestry Tracing ancestry seems to be a big thing at the moment. I know a couple of friends of mine in the office, who are heavily into that and I can see that Hillary Clinton has just started to trace hers. Shes just found out that the roots of her family are from the North East of England. Theyre from County Durham. But its big business at the moment and that programme, called Who Do You Think You Are on the television, has generated a lot of interest in that. Emails Dont forget if you want to drop me a line, then get in touch. If youve got a story that you think I should know about or a problem that you think I could tackle on your behalf on the programme, then get in touch. Its [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send me the details and also a contact telephone number as well. And if youve got some nice photographs for the Big Screen, then let me have a look at them too! Noel Edmonds I mentioned last week that Noel Edmonds is now suffering from RSI through picking up the phone so many times on his TV show, Deal Or No Deal. Theres an email from John, which is quite wittily written Ive got RSI now from getting up to turn the television off every time Noel Edmonds comes on! Ouch! HD HD, for those of you who dont know, stands for High Definition Television. I got my first demonstration of this in a restaurant, funnily enough, in Hessle on Friday night. Its amazing quality, watching the football on high definition. I think its a bit of an experiment at the moment, but if you havent caught a glimpse of high definition TV, then its well worth it. Anneka Rice Can you believe this? There were some photos in the paper this weekend. Anneka Rice is forty-seven and she looks unbelievable. She looks so good. I used to be a huge fan of Treasure Hunt and also Challenge Anneka, where she would jump out of helicopters and do all sorts. A programme like that of course today, with all the health and safety regulations there are in TV and in life in general too, wouldnt be allowed. But what great programmes they were. Annekas private life has taken a bit of a battering. But shes coming back with a daytime TV programme, so we wish her well. I got the chance to meet Anneka once when she came into the radio studio at the BBC when I was there, for help with one of her challenges. She was a really lovely lady, so I hope she does well with her new show. Wimbledon Wimbledon has started today. The competition has got a very strong code of conduct these days. You have to wear white and decent clothing. Theres to be no cleavage, no loose fitting outfits, which can show underwear. Theyre really cracking down on the whole dress sense of the tennis players. Nothing is to be too outrageous! No short skirts, no loose clothing and no cleavage. All the funs gone out of Wimbledon hasnt it?!? Well, that's it from me for today. Thanks very much indeed for being there and have a very good day. I hope you can join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm.
