Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your weekend was good and indeed your last week too. It was nice to have a week off, but its also good to be back. Ive been down in Cornwall. Ive met quite a few viewers from our part of the world and many of them were asking where was Paul. Because of course, even though I was off, he was off at the same time. It was pure coincidence! And he was not with me! I just want to clarify that once and for all! It was good to meet lots of viewers from our part of the world. It seems that quite a lot of viewers from the Lincoln area were going down to Cornwall for a holiday. So it was nice to see them. So it was nice to meet some of them and Im sure theyll be reading the Levy Letter today.
While I was down there, a lot of viewers had seen the filming of an ITV programme. Id never seen the first couple of series. Its called Doc Martin and stars Martin Clunes. Well, they were filming that near to Padstowe. There were quite a few people, who I met on my travels, whod seen the filming of Doc Martin. Anyway, it was very good to meet those people in Cornwall last week. Nice to be back. On the programme tonight at half past six, Paul will have the detailed forecast as I say and also tonight, I'll have the latest on the murder investigation of a teenage boy, which has left a community in shock. More on that later. And we'll be at the A15 ahead of road works, which will see this key route closed for a month. Plus I'll have a special report on Hull KRs game yesterday, which sees the team a step closer to the Superleague. Plus we'll be out with the delivery men distributing eighty thousand wheelie bins in Lincoln. And we meet the parrot from Brigg, who can bark like a dog! Can you believe that? Thats tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Soaps While Ive been away, theres been quite a few changes in the TV world. Thanks by the way for the continuing number of emails about Charlotte Churchs show. It seems like its not particularly popular with readers of the Levy Letter. Also, of course, theres the big story that the former Neighbours actress, Anne Charleston is coming to live in Yorkshire. She played Madge Bishop in Ramsay Street for eleven years. Shes going to be playing Lily, whos the estranged sister of Edna Birch, who is played by Shirley Stelfox. Shes a brilliant actress and has spent many years on Ramsay Street in the eighties and now Anne Charleston is joining Emmerdale in Yorkshire. So well watch out for her! Ive heard quite a few stories this year of political correctness. Of course, its the time of the year when schools have just gone back and in my time, if you had a packed lunch, then you used to have to squeeze your sandwiches into your satchel. Well, these days of course, there are some posh sandwich boxes for the kids. But not everything is better, because it seems these days that parents are having to have tips on how to do a packed lunch for their kids. The government, would you believe, is giving parents instructions on how to make packed lunches for the children. There are now leaflets giving basic advice on using wholegrain bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, and these are due to be given to schools. The move follows new rules, which have just come into force banning fizzy drinks, crisps and chocolate from school canteens. They also restrict the sale of foods, which are high in saturated fats, such as chips. So parents are going to get a leaflet given to them now on ! how to make a nutritious packed lunch for their kids. Im not sure if parents are going to look forward to that! Charmer Now, a couple of weeks ago, before I went away, one of the guests on the sofa was the actor Nigel Havers, whos been called a charmer once or twice before. He lived up to his name. He was charming and a really nice gentlemen. Hes five or six years older than me and he looks a darn sight younger and of course, created quite a ripple of excitement amongst some of the female members in the newsroom. He opens tonight in Hull at the New Theatre in Daphne Du Mauriers book, Rebecca. That book is coincidentally set in Cornwall. It looks like its going to be a great production and if youre going along, then enjoy. Im looking forward to trying to get to see it later in the week. So thats Nigel Havers in Rebecca and that opens later in the week at Hull New Theatre.
