Hello, its Peter here and welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well so far and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and on tonights programme, Look North will show the CCTV pictures of the last known movements of a Hull woman found murdered at the weekend. The body of Lynne Barwick was discovered on Saturday afternoon in a ditch in Paull, in the East Riding. She'd been strangled. Police have released CCTV footage of her last movements, in an effort to prompt memories from members of the public as to her last known whereabouts. We'll have the latest as the murder investigation continues.
Plus, after a morning meeting today, which has outlined the job losses and controversial changes to hospital services in Lincolnshire, Ill be looking at the impact of more than four hundred job losses in the region. The Health Trust, which runs the county's hospitals, has had to look at how a deficit of one million pounds a month can be reduced. I'll be talking to the Chief Executive of the Health Trust about that and getting the full details. Also on the programme, I'll reveal why the term - house wife - is now being considered politically incorrect! Even the WI thinks it's unfashionable. Im sure youve got a view on that one and I want to hear it! Plus my guest tonight is Gwyneth Strong, who played Rodneys long suffering girlfriend, Cassandra, in Only Fools And Horses. Gwyneth is in a new show at Hull New Theatre and will be joining me tonight. And the weather forecast, of course, is from his worship, the Mayor of Wetwang, Paul Hudson. Everyone bow please for his Lordship! So I hope you can join me on BBC One at half past six if you can. Keane Ive got a special competition in the Levy Letter today. They were the hottest band last year and theyve won a string of awards. Well, Keane are back with a new album and a new UK tour and Look North has got a special competition to win a pair of tickets to see them perform. Hopes and Fears was the name of their first record breaking album, but can you name Keanes new album? It has just been released and you must have seen lots of billboards and advertisements for it on the television. So just let me know what the name of Keanes new album is and email me in. A pair of tickets to see Keane perform in Hull in October could be yours. Just email me the name of the new album to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Awards Last night, the Royal Television Society Awards were held in Leeds and Im delighted to say that Look North won three awards. Congratulations to Linsey Smith, who was named Best Newcomer of the Year, Reporter of the Year was our Lincolnshire rural affairs correspondent, Guy Lynn and also Best Graphic Designer went to our Ian Paul Joyce. So those awards went to three members of our Look North team last night at the Royal Television Society Award ceremony last night in Leeds. So congratulations to them. Pensions I see that more than one adult in four is not paying into a pension fund. In 2005, 17% of over eighteens were apparently not bothering with a pension, but this figure has soared to 28% in the latest survey. People are not impressed and are not bothering with pensions. One in four do not have a pension fund. I must admit that if Id known, what I know today, when I was a lot younger, then I would have started paying into a pension a lot earlier than I did. And talking of money, Britains first credit card the piece of plastic that revolutionised the way we shop celebrated its fortieth birthday this week. Its forty years since the first credit card! Can you believe that? Football Well, love it or loathe it, but theres plenty of football on at the moment. In fact theres plenty of sport on the television too, with the tennis starting as well now. The World Cup managed to pull in thirty million viewers, when England played at the weekend. The last time thirty million people sat down to watch the same programme was the funeral of Princess Diana and that was nine years ago. The figures for last Sundays one nil triumph show that more than eighteen million people watched the game at home, but millions more watched the game in pubs or at parties, which have swelled the statistics massively. So if there were thirty million last weekend watching that game, then imagine how many more will be watching the next game! And talking of sport, it was Wimbledon yesterday. Day One of the tennis tournament and there were only thirty-five minutes of play, because of the weather! And there was one interview in the paper this morning from a family in Yorkshire, who travelled all the way down to London to sit in the rain all day and only got to see a tiny bit of play. Of course, all day up here it was dry as well with no rain at all. Normally the other way around isnt it! Coffee Im sure you know by now about my feelings for coffee! Its certainly one of my vices, but something that Ive been trying to cut down on now that Im on Gillian McKeiths regime! But I read today that yet again coffee is being quoted as having health benefits! Can you believe it? Its said that coffee is helping reduce the risk of developing diabetes. This is according to new research. Although, this study is not the first to document these benefits apparently. The consumption of coffee, but in particular the decaffeinated variety, showed distinct benefits for reducing the risk of diabetes. Women, who drank the coffee, were 22% percent less likely to develop diabetes than the group in the study, who drank no coffee. And this was significantly accounted for in the group that drank decaffeinated coffee rather than regular coffee. So there you are. Perhaps we should all try some decaf coffee me included! Can you tell the difference between the two, between regular and decaf?! I think you can, but Im willing to give it a go Im sure Gillian would approve! Pictures If youve got a picture that you think we could use on the programme, then send it to me at the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] And dont forget if youve got a problem or an issue that you think we could help you with for Leave it to Levy, then drop me a line. For Leave it to Levy problems, then I would also appreciate a contact telephone number as well, so that we can get in touch with you. So email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, as you know I like to hear your suggestions about guests for the programme. Well, one of your favourite suggestions has been the American singer, Curtis Stigers. Curtis was on the programme a little while ago and he proved to be a real charmer. Loads of you emailed in to say how much you liked him and liked his music. Well, Curtis will be joining me for a chat tomorrow. So, if theres a burning question that youd like me to ask him something about Curtis that youd love to know about, then let me know and Ill try and put that question to him! Of course, I cant ask him out on a date for you! So any other questions please to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thats it. Have a very good day and join me later on BBC One at 6.30pm.
