Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and Paul will have the forecast.
On tonight's programme, a month after a brutal sex attack in Hull, the victim comes forward to plead for help in finding their attacker. Ill have the full story on this tonight. Plus we'll have a special report from Whitgift School in Grimsby, which is facing the threat of closure. Im sure there are very many concerned parents and pupils in Grimsby and Ill have the latest from the school. Rubbish has been top of your agenda for a while now as we cope with new rules on recycling at home. I'll have our latest special report from our waste and rubbish series. We'll be in Europe to find out how they go about recycling their household rubbish. We'll be talking to the Grantham man, who claims he's invented a machine that can send messages into space! Can you believe that? Find out how I got when I went out with the Hornsea rescue service and I'll be joined by weatherman extraordinaire - no not Paul Hudson, but Ian McCaskill! Emails Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects. I was talking about dating yesterday online and saying that more people use computer dating in Scunthorpe than anywhere else in the country. Theres a note here from Abby I just want to say that me and my partner met online. We were both on one of the Internet dating agencies. I left a message and I looked at his page and left a message and we then moved on to talking over the Internet, then mobile phones, then landlines and then he finally got up enough courage to ask me out. Weve been together for four and a half years and we have a lovely three year old son and a house together. So meeting online can work! What a lovely story. So there you are. Abby, thank you very much indeed for sharing that with us. Dont forget if you want to drop me a line on any subject at all, then email me in. Also, if youve got a problem or an issue that you think we might be able to deal with on the programme on Leave it to Levy, then drop me a line. Give me the details and also a contact telephone number to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Books Theres a variety of books out just at the moment on the run up to Christmas. Theres a wonderful read Terry Wogans autobiography is just out. And, I was mentioning last week, Alan Titchmarshs Nobbut A Lad! And as I hinted at the start of the Letter, tonight well be talking about a new hardback book Frozen In Time, The years when Britain shivered. Its looking back to the winters of 47, 62, 63 and the time when we really did get a lot of snow and Im old enough to remember some of those! The winters were really winters! This book is written by Ian McCaskill and Paul Hudson and is just out. I might be biased, but leaving that aside, its a very good read. Its got lots of black and white pictures from the days when we really did have snow. I remember once, in West Yorkshire getting my car stuck in 1977 on the top of the moor road blocking Harvey Smith, the show jumper in. He couldnt get out to feed his animals and he came and found me, because I had abandoned the c! ar and he gave me what for!! Happy days! Kids TV I see the childrens favourite, Jackanory, is to return to our TV screens after an absence of ten years, but with a modern twist! The BBC plans to give the popular story a twenty-first century revamp using the latest computer graphics. We know all about them! Back in its heyday, it featured people like Kenneth Williams and Bernard Cribben telling stories. Well, the tradition of using big stars will continue and narrators in the new series include Sir Ben Kingsley and also John Sessions. Storytellers will no longer sit in the comfy armchair, but instead will appear on a computer generated landscape along with characters with which they can interact. So thats the return of Jackanory! Photos Dont forget if youve got a photo or a view that youre particularly pleased with that you think we could show on the programme one night, then show it to me. Or if your photograph is just a little bit unusual or wacky, as long as its taken in our part of the world, either human life or views, then send them to me. Ive got quite a few pictures this week from Canada and far flung places it doesnt really work on the programme, but if its somewhere nearer home, then email them in. Let me see them and Ill get them on the show. Send them to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panto Panto time is nearly here of course. The Radio Humberside pantomime is coming up and Ill give you details nearer the time. The tickets are on sale now. The pantomime in Hull this year at Hull New Theatre will be with the Chuckle Brothers and there are many pantos elsewhere across the region as well. If youre in an amateur one and youd like a little plug, then get in touch! Let me know. All this week, the Hull Amateurs are doing Kiss Me Kate. Their first night was last night on Tuesday, but its on until the weekend. In fact I think there are performances on Sunday as well. If you want to support them, then get along to the Middleton Hall at the University in Hull and see their show of Kiss Me Kate. Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good day. Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm.
