Hello, its Peter here! I hope you can join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm for tonights Look North. I hope your day is going well. At half past six tonight, well be coming live from Chapel St Leonards. If youre in the Lincolnshire area and you can make it along to the beach, then join us about six oclock at Chapel St Leonards. Wed love to see you there.
On our special programme tonight from the beach, well be celebrating the importance of tourism on our East coast and looking back at the history of the holiday camps. Ill also be trying my hand at becoming a Butlins Redcoat. Tune in tonight to find out how I get on. Plus Ill be speaking to the Jungle celebrities, Cannon and Ball. And watch tonight to get the all important Bank Holiday forecast from Paul. Weather A newsreader apologised today after a live broadcast in which she informed viewers that it was more than just raining down in Stoke On Trent! Joanne Malin meant to say that it was tipping it down, while braving inclement conditions during an outside broadcast in the Midlands. The presenter said, It was my first on air faux-pas in eight and a half years. Im so sorry! We received two complaints, but I was amazed at the number of emails coming in asking my editor not to be too hard on me as they hadnt laughed so much in years! To be on the safe side, next time it rains, Im going to call it precipitation! So there you are. It could happen to any of us at any time, but hopefully she should get away with it. Thats Joanne Malin, a forecaster in the Midlands. Letter If you know someone, whos not signed up for their daily Levy Letter and you think they would like one, then tell them to go to either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page and click on Levy Letter. Then tell them to watch out for their daily email from me the following day. Of course, there wont be an email from me on Monday, because its Bank Holiday, but look out for your letter on Tuesday. An email here that comes in from Mrs L. Havell. She says, Hi Peter. Could you please include my son, Jordon, in your birthday greetings in your Levy Letter on Friday. He would be delighted to see his name included. He loves watching Look North and if I am not in the room when you appear, he shouts out Mum - Peter Levys on and Paul! So there you are. So Jordan, I hope youre reading this. A very happy birthday to you and hes five today! If theres a birthday coming up for a friend or family member, and you think they would like to get a mention in the Levy Letter, then let me know. Email me with the details to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also if theres an event youre organising for charity that youd like a plug for, then let me know. Im very happy to let you know about some wonderful fundraising that the Hull Kingston Lions have been doing. Theyve raised nearly £5000 for the baby unit at Hull Royal Infirmary. So, the Hull Kingston Lions have been doing some marvellous work there to raise money for a worthy cause. So congratulations to them! Worst TV I was writing about that poll of the worst TV programmes in the country in the Radio Times this week. Youve probably read it by now. Well, its angered a lot of people, because they say its just one mans view and hes put in certain programmes, which are great favourites amongst many. Peter Swift writes in, I read about the worst ever TV programmes in yesterdays Daily Mail and my impression was that it was the view of one self-opinionated so-called TV expert, John Naughton. How does he qualify as a TV expert? I can look back and recall over fifty years of television and can make articulate comments on it. Does that make me an expert? How can you be an expert on taste? There were perfectly acceptable programmes in his list Thomas The Tank Engine, for example. Several people have emailed in angered at this man, who have picked these programmes. But I think it was just a bit of fun really. Richard Whiteley Of course, Richard was a great broadcaster, but he was also a good friend of mine, who Id known for many years. A lovely man. And I just wanted to mention that judging by the number of emails Ive had about Richard over the last twelve months, you all loved him as well. And theres a book out. Its his story. Richard by Catherine. Catherine was his partner for many years. And its the Life of Richard Whitely by Catherine Apanowicz. Its just published at the moment. Ive only read a couple of extracts from it, and Im looking forward to buying the book at the weekend and reading it. And still the emails are coming in as well about Countdown and Des Lynam. I wont read any more out, because it just seems to refuel your anger about that. Needless to say, I dont think Des has won himself any fans by getting the programme to move down south. Cows They have one word in their vocabulary and its a single syllable at that, but despite their limited conversational skills, cows appear to moo in regional accents, according to farmers! Those in the West Country have been heard lowing with a distinctive Somerset twang, prompting some to claim that the sound is more ooh-ahh than moo. Brummy accents have also been noticed by cows in the Midlands and Geordie tones in the North East area. Of course, you have to bear in mind that it is August and August Bank Holiday weekend, so obviously were a bit short on news! But there you are. Cows apparently moo in a regional accent! Well, that's it from me for today. As I say, were live at the beach tonight on BBC One at half past six at Chapel St Leonards. If you can come down to the beach and join us from any time about six oclock, then wed love to see you. Whatever youve got planned this weekend, then I hope you have a very good time.
