Hello, its Peter here, and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter, I hope your days going well, and youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual.
On the programme tonight we're out with police on a drugs raid in Grimsby, you won't want to miss that one, and its a report thats bound to provoke a strong response. Our reporter Kevin Keane will be with Humberside Police as they raid suspects houses. Twenty One years on, we'll be meeting some of the Legends of Rugby League. I know theres a lot of sports fans in the area, so Im sure therell be a lot of you interested in this. And, could you be the new voice of the talking clock? Well thatll be an interesting one, perhaps we can look forward to hearing a talking clock with a Lincolnshire or Hull accent soon! And Paul will have the forecast as usual now that hes well and back with us. Museum Thanks very much to those of you who came to the National Museum of Film, Photography and Television at Bradford yesterday. I was giving a talk about television in their new television gallery over there, and it was great to meet some of the people. So, for those who made the effort, thank you very much indeed. And over the coming months, if youve got children or if youre just interested in television the museum over theres got a brand new interactive television gallery where you can actually get your hands on the cameras, and have a go at reading the news. It really is worth a visit, it only takes about an hour in the car over from Hull. If youre going, then enjoy. Levy Letter Well weve been having some problems with the Levy Letter recently, all caused by something going wrong with the BBC server. Dont ask me what that means, but apparently it should be up and running smoothly again now. So fingers crossed, the Levy Letter should be back to normal, and our apologies for the troubles. Children In Need Dont forget, its getting ever closer, there are literally only a few tickets left for the Evening With Peter Levy, I would love you to be there. If youve not got your tickets yet, and youd like to come, then you can call the Hull Truck box office on 01482 323638. Get your tickets and well see you with all our guests, and Paul, on the evening of the 12th of November. If you want to come along then make it to Hull Truck theatre, or give them a call. Daniel Corbett Daniel Corbett did the weather for one day last week when Paul was off. Weve had several emails saying how much they enjoyed it, and what a character he was for playing along with it and having a bit of fun. So thank you for those, and I have passed a couple of those comments on to Daniel in London. Age I see that David Cameron is making a speech today championing elderly people, he wants get across the message that we should value older people and they should be recognised. Hes also saying that their economic value is of some significance, in other words the older people have got money to spare. Once again, age is in the headlines. So there we are, lets value older people, and of course we can no longer make jokes about older people, and indeed were not even allowed to have birthday cards making jokes about age anymore. Guests Well thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects asking for guests on the programme. Julie Walters was one of the most requested guests, and Julie was on the programme last week. Of course, I was looking at Michael Ball on the television the other night, being interviewed by Jonathan Ross, and hes another one of the people thats requested regularly on the programme. He doesnt actually do many concerts in our part of the world, but Im sure well have Michael Ball on before too long. But thanks for everyone whos asked for Michael to be a guest on the programme. Also, just while I think about it, The Royal came to an end last night, another six weeks, always good Sunday night television, and especially on a night like last night when its cold and wet and youre inside to put your feet up and watch the royal. And most of the stars of the royal are going to be at a special charity evening in aid of Motor Neurone Disease on the 18th of December at The Sands Venue in Gainsborough. A lot of the big names who play the characters, Amy Robins of course, Dr Weatherill, and also the actor who plays Dr Ormerod. They will all be there on the 18th of November. Now dont forget that the week before, is our big one at the Hull Truck Theatre. Spring I see all the flowers are now confused, there are buds on trees, some of the spring bulbs are out, nature thinks its spring because of some of the extreme temperatures. And I must admit, yesterday I was in Leeds, and seeing some of the people sitting outside drinking coffee with just a jumper on, al fresco, at the end of October was quite extraordinary. But now nature is confused and some of the stuff thats meant to be out next spring is coming out already. Computers I see that the latest finger to be pointed at computers is that theyre threatening childrens hand writing. It seems five out of six children are leaving school now without the basic skills to do handwriting. Computers, and the availability of computers in schools are being blamed for that. Leave it to Levy If youve got a problem, or an issue that youd want us to discuss on the programme, then drop me a line, give us the details of the story and your telephone number as well, and Ill see what I can do. So send me the details to the usual address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well thats it from me this Monday, join me tonight on BBC One at half past six, have a very good afternoon, and take care.
