Hi there! Its Crispin this morning. Change around yet again and Ill be letting you know whats happening in todays show at half past six.
As you may have already heard Top Gear presenter, Richard Hammond, was involved in an accident yesterday. He was filming for the BBC programme in a rocket powered car in an attempt to break the world speed limit and we believe that he was travelling at about three hundred miles per hour. Well, well be reporting from Elvington, where the crash happened. Thats just on the East Yorkshire border and well have the latest on that story. Of course, Top Gear and its presenters have come under some criticism from Look North viewers after Jeremy Clarksons comments about Lincolnshire. I believe he said he thought it best to speed through the county, because there was nothing worthwhile to see. Well, that prompted a huge amount of criticism from you, especially as the area has some dangerous accident black spots. Well, Im sure that your thoughts are with Richard Hammond and his family and friends and we wish him a speedy recovery. Also tonight, we'll be bringing you all the action from last night's high profile football game between Scunthorpe and Aston Villa. It was a huge game to come to the town and our reporter, Amanda Thomson, was there with the fans last night on the programme. Well, were you there last night? How was the match? Let me know what the atmosphere was like at the ground. Get in touch with us to [EMAIL PROTECTED] And also at six thirty, well be meeting the man who's launching his own sniffer dog hire company. Have you ever been in need of a sniffer dog? Well, this mans business could be the answer to your prayers. And were in Chapel St. Leonards to meet the couple who run one of the region's most unusual pubs. Well have the full story later. All the weather forecasters are talking about it. Weve got unusually hot weather today and I think its from the tail end of a tornado in Jamaica! Well, the papers are all saying that it could be one of the hottest September days on record. So why are the region's retailers getting into the Christmas spirit? This always gets on my nerves when you see the Christmas decorations out too soon. More on that later. Last night on the programme we had a wonderful chat with the great actress, Maureen Lipman. Now though, we cant just call her an actress, because shes just launched a book. Her husband died from cancer in 2004 and during the period of time when her husband was travelling to and from hospital, Maureen starting writing a collection of poems in order to help her deal with his illness and subsequent death. Shes now published this poetry and all of the proceeds of the book are going to cancer research. So its a wonderful cause and the story behind the poems is very inspiring. Weve got a book to give away and we announced the question on last nights programme. Theres still time to enter if youd like a copy of the book. All you have to do is answer this question name Maureen Lipmans late husband. He was a wonderful TV dramatist and all we need is his name if youd like a copy of Maureens book. Write to us with the answer and send it to BBC Look North, Queen's Court, Que! en's Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. And best of luck! Take care and see you tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm.
