Hello its Peter here and welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. Hope your days going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at six thirty. Well have all the days news, including a report on plans to curb the number of dogs walkers can take out on a leash. Im sure a lot of you will have an opinion on this one, so be sure to watch this tonight.
We'll have the Karting champion who's burning rubber at just 13 years old, Im sure he has a bright future ahead of him. Well also be asking should a woman with 13 children be allowed to have IVF treatment? Again, this is bound to provoke a big response, and I look forward to seeing what you have to say on the subject. And tonight we report on the trial of people accused of setting up a brothel in Beverley. Thats one of those amazing stories you cant believe happens right under our noses, and if you live in Beverley or that area, well have the latest on proceedings. And also Paul will have the detailed forecast as always. Join us as usual at half past six. Weekend I hope you had a good weekend, whatever you were up to, I hope it went well, and if you had a bonfire, or fireworks last night I hope they went off well and it was an enjoyable time. We certainly were lucky with the weather, so mild last night. I went to the marina and watched the fireworks over Princes Quay shopping centre as always. I dont think there is another city like Hull that can do fireworks quite so well. We always seem to put on a very good display. Quarter of an hour of superb fireworks, and of course it was only a few months back that we had the fireworks at Wilberforce House. Anyway, I hope the weekend was good and youre ready for the start of another week. And today in the Levy Letter we have a special competition! Now this is to win tickets to see the top West End musical Chicago which is on its way to Grimsby. Tickets are for January, and make sure that if you do enter that you can get to Grimsby for the show. The question is In the movie Chicago, who played Billy Flynn? If you think you know, email in as soon as possible at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well make the draw later in the week. Millionaire Well its a big question thats on everyones lips at the moment, everyone seems to be talking about it, indeed it was written about in one of the Sunday papers. Why has Who wants to be a Millionaire suddenly become so difficult? Well the answer is that the show has paid out millions in prize money and is running out of cash. Already this series, producers have paid out £1.34 million in prizes in just four shows. Not only that but theres another 18 to come. In the whole of the last series, the 19th, the total paid out was £2 million. £1.34 million after just four shows! Chris Tarrant is the host, hes said to have been asked at the Nation Television awards last week if the questions had been getting harder, he denied it, but the feeling from viewers is that they certainly are getting more difficult. The latest millionaire was one Ingram Wilcox who won £1 million. Well, are the questions getting harder? Let me know your views on that one, and indeed anything else to the us! ual address. Children in Need Now Children in Need night is on the 17th November, and if you make it to The Deep then I look forward to seeing you there. And this coming Sunday, the place to be is at the Hull Truck Theatre for An Evening with Peter Levy. Were there to raise money, of course Ill be speaking to some guests. The money is going to Children in Need. The show is sold out, but if you want to find out if there are any ticket returns or last minute tickets then give the box office a call on 01482 323638 and I look forward to seeing you there on Sunday night, starting at 7.30. Katherine Jenkins Now a guest on Friday night was the singer Katherine Jenkins who was on the sofa ahead of her singing gig in Grimsby and also her brand new album which is just out, its called Serenade. I noticed as well that she was on the television at the weekend on the programme Heaven and Earth. Katherine is not only a fabulous singer, but also a really nice person. She gave up her time and made the journey all the way across to Hull from Liverpool to meet and talk with us on Friday night. Ive been listening to her album over the weekend. Its a really, really good listen, songs right across the board. If you like that sort of music then I think her latest album is her best to date. Serenade its called, and its just out. Good Life Tom and Barbara did it didnt they? Felicity Kendal and Richard Briers in The Good Life. Six out of ten Britons are tired of the rat race and are considering ditching their material ambitions for a better quality of life. The dream that inspired the 70s sit-com has endured for decades, but never has it been so popular. 61% of working adults are re-assessing their priorities and are thinking about a life shift which would give them stress free jobs, and more time with their loved ones. More and more people are wanting to take up the good life and get away from the rat race. Getting Away Well talking of getting away from the rat race, more than a million Britons have left for new lives abroad since the turn of the millennium according to the latest figures. The number of people emigrating has gone up year on year since the 1990s. While more people are heading for France, Spain, and Australia or the United States, fewer Britons are returning than at any time in a decade. Its hard to believe but a thousand people a day are actually emigrating to set up home abroad. Its a staggering figure. Pictures Dont forget, if youve got a picture that youre particularly proud of, and that youd like to show on the programme, send it to me either electronically to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or put a hard copy in the post. Thanks for reading the letter, have a good Monday afternoon, and join me for a busy programme tonight on BBC One at six thirty. Bye for now.
