Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to the start of another week on Look North and also on the Levy Letter. Thank you very much indeed for joining me. I hope your weekend was good. Whatever you had organised, then I hope it went well. Yesterday was certainly beautiful. Shirt sleeves and sitting in the sun yesterday. It was a glorious day, but I understand that by the middle of the week, itll be all change. Paul will have the forecast tonight to let us know more about that.
Also at half past six tonight, we'll be talking to the Bridlington shell fishermen, who are meeting their French counterparts tomorrow to discuss how to end the damage to their crab pots. They say their livelihood is at risk. Ill have the full story tonight. We'll find out why a Hull trawler has become caught up in allegations of theft of items from the Titanic and why the once vanishing country hedgerows are now returning to our landscape. Plus could you be the owner of a mystery wedding album left behind in a loft. And we'll be taking a twirl with the modern sequence dancers from Lincoln, who are the British dance champions. All that tonight on Look North. Letter Youre obviously getting the Letter and Im grateful for that. If theres anyone you know, who watches Look North and you think they would like a daily email from me, then point them in the direction of either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page. Tell them to sign up for a Levy Letter and of course make sure they watch every evening on BBC One at 6.30pm. This is a free daily Levy Letter from me and theyll get it tomorrow, if they sign up. Dont forget, if youve got a problem or a story that you think we could use on the programme one evening, then give me the details. Drop me a line and also leave me a contact telephone number as well.

The opera singer, Katherine Jenkins, will be joining me on the programme shortly. She is about to star at the Grimsby Auditorium. Shes on a tour at the moment. She gets to Grimsby on the 24th November and thats a Friday. Ahead of that, Ill be talking to Katherine on the programme. So its a busy time coming up on Look North over the next few weeks. Ill also be talking to Alan Titchmarsh. His new book is just out and its the story of his childhood when he was brought up in Ilkley in West Yorkshire in the fifties. Ill be talking to Alan in a couple of weeks as well. Jim I see that the childrens television show, Jimll Fix It, is to return to TV. Its not going onto BBC One, but onto UKTV Gold. It ran originally from 1975 until 1994. Jim is going to come back and present the programme. In its heyday, it used to get between nineteen and twenty-one million viewers a week and it ran for twenty years. Well, its coming back onto a satellite channel. Its an amazing story of Sir Jimmy Savile. Hes still going strong and is still a live wire. He celebrates his eightieth birthday tomorrow! So happy birthday to Sir Jim for tomorrow! Wonder Pill A pill costing less than £2.00 a day could help the obese lose almost a stone in a year according to new research. Acomplia, which acts by curbing the appetite, was launched this summer. A study, published today, says it can help people lose twelve pounds in a year. The pill also helped diabetics improve control of their blood sugar level and cholesterol levels. Experts say that the drug could provide a novel therapy in the fight against obesity and diabetes. The twenty milligram and daily pill costs £55.20 for a months supply. Its the first medicine of its kind, because it acts on the part of the brain associated with cravings. Since June its been available on the health service, but it doesnt actually say whether we can pay for it ourselves yet. But its a diet pill, which will help you shed twelve pounds a year and costs £2.00 a day! Im sure that will go down well wont it! University Many people I know and many people I work with at the moment have got debts from their years of study. Of course, they do have a degree and all that goes with it, but getting into debt, whilst at University, seems to be par for the course these days. Some people have enormous debts. Well, now they reckon that the average costs of going to University and getting a degree is £35,000! And the vast majority of people believe that spiralling tuition fees will deter teenagers from actually applying from University. They reckon that the number of people wanting to go to University will drop and drop and that doesnt surprise me in the slightest! Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good afternoon and join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm.
