Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Fridays 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 also the weekend forecast from Paul.
On tonight's programme, we'll have the culmination of our Waste Week series, focusing today on the controversial issue of rubbish incineration. We'll have a studio debate with the two sides of the argument going head to head for and against incineration. We'll also welcome our Waste Week family from Scunthorpe into the studio. All week weve been watching as they get to grips with recycling in the home and even getting some handy hints from some Danes! Theyll be in the studio tonight to tell us how they got on and possibly to give us some tips for recycling from their point of view! Also tonight, we'll have the latest on the coastal erosion of our East Coast as a cliff collapses and a road is closed at Skipsea. The sea is creeping ever nearer with devastating affects to some parts of our East Coast and well be listening to the fears of some residents on our East Coast literally living on the edge! We'll be looking behind the scenes of the new St Stephen's development in the centre of Hull. If youve driven through Hull recently you cant fail to notice the huge building work going on around the station area. Huge cranes and convoys of lorries taking steel girders through. Already we can see the development taking shape. Well, well be getting access behind the scenes of the construction and finding out if theyre all set for opening on time. You may not know it, but theres been a Danish church in Hull for over one hundred and forty years! Thats just amazing isnt it? We'll be live tonight at Hull's only Danish church for the opening of its Scandinavian Christmas market. If youre going to that tonight, then I hope you enjoy it! Im sure itll get you into the Christmas spirit! So a very busy programme tonight to see off the week. I hope you can join me tonight at half past six. Weekend Whatever youre doing at the weekend, then I hope it goes very well indeed. Well get the forecast from Paul tonight. Hell be in Hull, by the way, at a well-known bookshop tomorrow at midday in the Prospect Centre in Hull doing an appearance there with his books! Of course, we were talking about his book on Wednesday night on the programme with him and Ian McCaskill. Paul will be in Hull on Saturday lunchtime around midday. Whatever youve got planned this weekend, then enjoy! Dont forget, if youre involved in something for charity or for a good cause and youd like to tell me about it for the Levy Letter, then the usual address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you. Im A Celebrity More and more emails about Im A Celebrity. I saw a bit of it last night and of course Jane Leeming is giving entertainment value. So thanks for the comments on that. I think well have a few of those on Monday. Talking of TV, I briefly mentioned the prospect of an all-celeb Deal Or No Deal in the Letter yesterday. Apparently Noel Edmonds has dismissed the suggestion out of hand. I read now that there is the first two hundred and fifty thousand pound jackpot winner on his TV show. Her name is Laura Pierce. Shes twenty-four and showed nerves of steel to win the top prize, which sparked mayhem in the Channel 4 studio. Jubilant Laura told fellow contestants I just cant believe this has happened to me. Its going to completely change my life. Laura faced an agonising choice whether to gamble on the two remaining boxes worth £250,000 or £750 or accept a sure fire £44,000 deal offered by the shows banker. So what an amazing success story. She wins a quarter of a million pou! nds on Deal Or No Deal. Nora Last night, I had the privilege to meet a wonderful lady called Nora. I hope you saw her last night on the programme. She is 101 next Tuesday. Shes still driving and shes just enjoying life to the full. Shes also still fundraising as well and is about to open a doctors surgery. She was a tremendous lady and I was privileged to meet her. I read today that the age of your mother when you were born could determine whether you live to be a hundred or not. Babies born to women under twenty-five are almost twice as likely to live to receive a telegram from the Queen as to those born to older mothers, according to a study. Scientists believe this is because younger mothers have higher quality eggs. There are hundreds of thousands of babies born to older mothers in Britain each year, but if you were born to a young mum, then the chances of living to a hundred are even greater! Photographs Dont forget, if youve got a photograph that youre particularly proud of that youve taken recently, that you think we could use on the programme, then send them to me. Also if youve got a funny picture as well that you think we could have a laugh with, then show me! Send them to me. Also, if youve got a story that you think I should know about then the email as ever is [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you know of anyone, whos not signed up to the Levy Letter, then point them in the direction of either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page. Get them to click on there and sign up to get their first and daily free email from me the following day. Carol Service Just a reminder that now all the other big events are out of the way, I can remind you that the Lord Mayors carol service is coming up in Hull. Its on the 7th December. Thats Thursday 7th December at the wonderful Street Life Museum in Hull. If you can make it along, then all the proceeds go to the Lord Mayors appeal. Tickets are £15.00. There will be various readers including myself and John Godbers two daughters and the playwright Jane Thornton and also Liam Mower from Billy Elliot. Blair Jacobs from BBC Radio Humberside will host the evening and the money is going to the Lord Mayors charities. The tickets are available now or just turn up on the night to buy them from the door on Thursday 7th December. Get there for 7pm. If youre going along, then I look forward to seeing you there. Appeal Talking of money for charity, BBC Radio Humbersides Making Waves calendar is on sale at the moment. Its £5 and the money is going for various lifeboat outlets in our part of the world. Last night on the telly, I was with the Hornsea Rescue service. If you want to buy one of the calendars, then theyre on sale now at the BBC Open Centre in Hull and also in Grimsby as well. Well, that's it from me for today. Enjoy your weekend and join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Look our for your Levy Letter on Monday.
