Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Thursdays Levy Letter. I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and of course Paul will have the forecast.
On tonight's programme, I'll have the latest on the incredible story of the woman, who jumped off the Humber Bridge with her baby and survived. She is to be prosecuted today and well have the very latest on this case. Also tonight, I'll have the full story on the migrant workers facing an uncertain future in Spalding. Their houses have been deemed illegal by the council and are set to be demolished. Ill have their story tonight on the programme. I'll be talking with Humberside Police tonight a year after the licensing laws changed in bars, pubs and clubs. Ill be asking how they think it's affecting crime levels in our towns and cities. Plus we'll be examining the threat to our waterways after DEFRA slashes its budgets. We'll be speaking to angry boat owners in Haxey about their concerns for the future and welfare of our regions waterways. Find out how I got on riding a jetski as I go out with Hornsea Rescue for the day. And I'll be speaking with a woman from Ancaster, who's almost 101 years old, but is still going strong raising money for charity. A very busy programme tonight. All that on BBC One at 6.30pm. Im A Celebrity Thanks for the emails on Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. I have to admit that despite having a little interest in the series this time round, I havent seen that much of it. Although I do, from reading many emails and reading the newspapers, know all about Jan Leeming. Screaming Leeming theyre calling her. Apparently, shes been married five times. Shes scared off five husbands and has now managed to alienate millions of viewers with her histrionics in Im A Celebrity. Even her son was on television this week being interviewed and even he admitted that he has to look away when shes on! So thats Jan Leeming on Im A Celebrity. Your views on her, gratefully received. She says shes going to stay on the programme until the end and shes not going anywhere anytime soon. And shes probably right actually. Theyll probably make her suffer and keep her in for a bit longer just for entertainment value. Jan, of course, used to do this job, reading the news. She left the BBC i! n 1987. Screaming Leeming! Emails If you want to send me an email, then the usual address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont forget if youve got a problem or you know of something that you think we could deal with on the programme, then give me the details! Noel Edmonds Well, weve had Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Celebrity Weakest Link, but apparently, there will never be a Celebrity Deal Or No Deal. So says Noel Edmonds, whos quite adamant about it. He says, What would be the point? To have twenty-two C list celebrities! The thought of that is just horrifying. He says, Millionaire works because you want to see if the celebrities are bright, but were only opening boxes. Who would want to see twenty-two celebrities opening boxes? And, as one newspaper has said Give it time!! And Im sure never a truer word has been said! Petrol Now, I cant believe this, but apparently petrol prices have crashed to an eighteen month low, saving a typical two car family almost £30 a month. The nationwide price for unleaded has dropped by 12.5 pence a litre since a record high in August, which now stands at 86 pence. The sharp fall in the price of petrol has bought welcome relief to millions of householders. I must admit that I havent actually felt this or noticed this one little bit when Ive been at the petrol pump. Is that me or has anyone else noticed it? Obviously, its fact, but I havent noticed it myself when filling up. Your views on that gratefully received. Sunshine An amazing story that the heat wave that we had in July claimed the lives of six hundred and eight Britons in just twelve days. The sunshine hit the sick and the elderly with an average of fifty-seven people dying every day in the hottest spell during the warmest July on record. Its hard to believe isnt it? Fifty-seven elderly people a day were dying because of the heat. Somebody from Age Concern has said that, older people often find coping in extreme weather difficult. He said, The figures were a timely warning with temperatures expecting to plummet this winter. As we heard from Paul last night on the programme, temperatures are expected to be cold in the New Year, so we must remember about the elderly people around us, who will be feeling and noticing the extreme winter temperatures. Well, that's it from me for today. Enjoy your Thursday afternoon and join me for a busy programme tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Bye for now.
