Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Monday's Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and your weekend was good. The weather doesn't get much better than that does it? And the rumour is today and tomorrow are going to be even warmer with temperatures up to around 90. So the hot weather continues. Thanks to those who came to the Humber Bridge on Friday night for the programme and also to those who came along and the couple of thousand who took part running the Sport Relief mile on Saturday. Great to meet loads of people this weekend. Whatever you did, I hope it was good and you got some sunshine and you had a good time. Back for the start of another week; join me tonight if you can BBC One at 6.30pm. All the day's news. We'll have the latest from court where the former leader of Hull City Council, Colin Inglis, has been found not guilty of all the sex charges he was facing. And I'll be chatting to the Lincolnshire man who's getting lay-about youths to change their ways wi! th 1950s' style army training. We'll be looking at plans to bring café culture to the streets of Grimsby. Also: mushy or garden?! As the pea harvest gets under way in our region, we ask the all-important question! Paul will be back with the forecast after his holiday, BBC One at 6.30pm as usual.
TV Thanks for even more emails about Ant and Dec's programme, their quiz which is on the television at the moment. Nobody seems to like that one and I was reading in the paper this weekend it doesn't seem to be doing too well. I think it needs to go back to the drawing board for a little bit more refinement. But thanks for all the emails on that and the other programme which nobody seems to like, judging by the emails I'm getting, is Love Island. I have to say I haven't seen this. It's a reality show on ITV. It's their answer to Big Brother and from reading in the paper at the weekend, a lot of people have written to me to say they don't like it, some of the actors, well I say actors, celebrities, have threatened to go on strike not that I suppose that will have anybody too upset. Matters came to head on the island apparently when kiss-and-tell girl Alicia Douvall walked out after being told she was one of three contestants who might be voted off by the other contestants. Perh! aps they failed to realised the voting off of the contestants is probably the part of the programme which makes it most appealing. Certainly the Only Fools On Horses which raised a huge amount of money for Sport Relief, I found compulsive viewing but the single best bit was where the celebs had to vote off one of their fellow celebs at the end. I thought they all did really well. I was expecting Sara Cox to win but she didn't. She was beaten in the end by Jenni Falconer who won the trophy. And of course, all the money raised from the phone calls goes to Sport Relief. Anyway, thanks for all the emails on the subject of TV. If you want to drop me a line on any subject, then it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and any problems you've got as well for Leave it to Levy. Neighbours This time of the year of course, yesterday afternoon I'm sure many people like me had their neighbours out sitting on the grass or sitting outside drinking or having disposable BBQs. I see that one in four of us, 25% of everyone in the UK has problems or issues with their neighbours. It's usually to do with rubbish or bins or noise or whatever. That's actually a really high figure isn't it? 25% of us apparently have problems with neighbours. And of course a lot of people would have been at the beach this weekend. I was toying with going to Fraisthorpe yesterday as it was so beautiful. If you are swimming, huge swarms of jellyfish, some of them poisonous have been spotted around our coast as the temperatures rise. They include the Lion's Mane jellyfish, the species with the most painful sting in UK waters. Swimmers were last night warned to be on their guard and record sightings of the creatures to help protect others. A swarm of jellyfish whose sting can leave red welts on t! he skin and cause 24-hour fever was spotted earlier this month. So there we are, if you're going swimming watch out for the Lion's Mane jellyfish. The best policy apparently is look but don't touch so says one marine expert. Light Entertainment There's a programme starting next weekend which is a real must if you like me, enjoy light entertainment. It's the story of light entertainment. It's the first of eight programmes narrated by Stephen Fry. Over the years we've had many double acts from Laurel and Hardy right up to Ant and Dec and everything in between. The most famous of course being Morecambe and Wise. It starts next Saturday night, the story of light entertainment on BBC Two. It looks a really good programme so one there for the diary. Museum Just a quick plug for something, if you've got children over the summer holidays, this Thursday sees the extension of the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford. They've got a new experience TV gallery opening and well, if you see yourself as a budding Paul Hudson or newsreader, you can have a go at both or the kids can. Practise presenting the weather or reading the news. Old rare television sets are on display and you can chose some of your own favourite vintage TV. It really is a fabulous trip. Exit 26 of the M62 for the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television. Well worth a visit, their big new television gallery is opening on Thursday. So a good trip out with the kids. Well that's it from me for today. Enjoy your Monday afternoon and join me tonight as usual, BBC One at 6.30pm. Don't forget if there's anyone you know who's not getting the Levy Letter and you think they're missing out, you can point them in the direction of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, get them to sign up and as soon as they do, they'll get their first Levy Letter the following day. See you tonight and look out for your letter again tomorrow. Take care, Peter.
