Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me for all the days news tonight at half past six on BBC One.
On tonight's programme, we'll be reporting from Leeds Crown Court as the Inglis trial continues. The former leader of Hull City Council is pleading not guilty to fourteen counts of indecently assaulting a boy under the age of sixteen. The charge relates to incidents in the early eighties when Mr Inglis was a care worker at a Children's Home in Hull. The alleged victim of abuse is expected to testify this afternoon and I'll have the latest on that. Plus, Peter will be talking to the eleven year old actor from our region, who is to star in a CBBC drama, reconstructing the day of the London bombings. In the week that well be remembering the anniversary of the July 7th terrorist bombings in London, this programme will be looking at what it was like to be there. Ill be talking to the young actor, whos taking one of the lead roles in this CBBC drama. Also tonight, Look North will be looking at the controversial issue of a car wash and valeting service in Skegness run by ladies in bikinis! Can you believe that? We'll be talking to local residents about why they think this is giving Skegness a bad name. What do you think? Will you all be rushing off down to Skegness to see those ladies in bikinis? More on that story later. We're investigating why Stagecoach are scrapping five bus routes in Lincoln. We'll be talking to local residents to see how this will affect their daily lives. And during this sweltering heat wave, ice cream is being sold by the bucket load. Look North will be at a farm in Hornsea to watch how they make their ice cream straight from the cow to the cone. And we'll have our next instalment of our Homegrown series as we follow the Lincolnshire family on their quest to eat only locally grown and produced food. So a busy show tonight. And as this glorious weather continues, Lisa Gallagher will have the forecast for us. This weather is set to change at the end of this week, isnt it? Well, I think thats what she said yesterday, so we can find out more on the programme tonight. I hope you can join me then. Out And About Theres lots of things coming up in the next few weeks, which you might be able to come along to and meet up with the Look North team. Weve got a very busy week coming up. Not this weekend, but the weekend after, we have the celebrations for the Humber Bridge anniversary and also Sport Relief. And I hope that some, if not all BBC Levy Letter readers are running the mile for Sport Relief. You can see all the advertisements for it on the TV. And just a reminder, I think I mentioned it yesterday, but not this Friday, but the Friday after, the programme is coming live from the Humber Bridge. Well be down at the Hessle Foreshore with all of our guests and well be doing the whole programme live from there. Lisa will be down there at the water side too for the forecast. If you can make it down, then I look forward to seeing you. Well be live from six thirty until seven from the Hessle foreshore on Friday 14th July for the 25th anniversary of the Humber Bridge. And if you can pa! ss that message along to any of your friends, who might like to come along and see a TV show go out live, then remind them of the date. Weather Its amazing in this country that as soon as we get a bit of hot weather, then the trains arent running properly and the buses are overheating. Yet in foreign countries, of course, life goes on. One press release that has come in today says that one of the major electrical stores on Saturday sold four fans every minute. Thats over two hundred and fifty fans an hour, every hour, throughout the whole weekend. Thats incredible isnt it? Four fans every minute! Anyway, if the weather is not to your liking, well, the rumours are that by Thursday things will have changed. So I hope you get use out of your fan, if you bought one last weekend, before it gets cool again! Flip Flops And with this weather, you might be tempted to wear the old open-topped sandals or the plastic flip flops, which I see now you can buy as cheap as £3 a pair. With their flimsy soles, doctors say theyre not doing you any favours with your feet, but now it seems that flip flops can also be a disastrous fashion choice for your career. Experts warned yesterday that wearing the casual footwear in the office is rather like walking up to a manager and asking to be sacked. Those are strong words arent they? Shoes convey the mood of a woman said the style commentator and author of The Perfect Fit. Shoes apparently say a lot about you. The book says that wearing flip flops conveys the mood that you are relaxed and on holiday thats not a good message in the office. Even banks famous for their dress-down Friday policies said that workers should think twice about wearing flip flops! So if you are a flip flop wearer, then you have been warned about wearing them to work! Charlie Chaplin Lovers of the silent films will be interested in this. The hat and cane used by the silent screen star, Charlie Chaplin in his role as the lovable tramp, broke an auction record at the weekend. The British born Hollywood actors trademark items fetched seventy-five thousand pounds at a Los Angeles sale of entertainment memorabilia! Problems If youve got a problem or an issue that you think we could deal with on the programme as a Leave it to Levy, then just drop me a line. Send me the details, and a contact telephone number and Ill look into it for you. The address as always is [EMAIL PROTECTED] And by the way, we have another Leave it to Levy on the programme tonight! So watch out for that. Fiery Fred Last night on the programme, we paid tribute to the Yorkshire legend, Fred Trueman, who died at the weekend. This Thursday on the 6th July, weve got a special programme celebrating the life of Fiery Fred, the cricketer. The show will include special unseen archive material shot by fellow members of the 1951 Ashes team as well as contributions by fellow sportsmen and celebrities. If you want to see it, then its on BBC One on Thursday night at 7pm. Fireman Sam Weve got another exclusive Levy Letter competition for you here to amuse your little ones. Weve got a family ticket to give away to see Fireman Sam To The Rescue at Hull New Theatre on Friday. Weve had lots of entries already, so thank you for those, but theres still time to enter.
