Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to another week here on the Levy Letter and of course Look North. Join me for the programme tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news, plus the forecast from Paul.
Also on tonight's programme, we'll have the latest on the Superbug outbreak at Lincoln County Hospital, which has already claimed one life. Ill have the full story on that. The Derby Day fixtures have been announced and Hull FC and Hull KR face each other for the first time in the top flight for eighteen years. More on that later. We'll be asking you if your Christmas lights are safe. Although many of us wont be thinking of Christmas just yet and certainly wont have put up any Christmas lights, some people are so eager to get into the festive spirit. We'll be at a house in Hull, already decorated for Christmas, and well be testing out their electricals! We'll be meeting the man from Withernsea, who made James Bond fit for the big screen, we'll be on the skids as we go out with the RAF in Lincoln and tune in tonight to find out why seals are thriving in our county! All that tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Weekend Whatever you had planned at the weekend, then I hope it went very well indeed. The weather was a bit lousy on Saturday, but I met a lot of people in the Prospect Centre in Hull. For those of you, who came along, then thank you very much indeed. It was good to meet you and talk to you. But then on Sunday what a beautiful day! I spent the morning shopping in Hull. What a fabulous atmosphere with the market on there and the carousel in the centre of the city. If you havent been just recently, then its well worth a visit just at the moment. If you live away from Hull, then it was a great atmosphere and I got a bit of shopping done as well! Christmas Well, as Christmas comes closer all the festivities get into full swing. The restaurants are full, the shops are busy and theres plenty of events coming up in the next couple of weeks. If youre involved in one of them and its for charity, then let me know. Give me the details and Ill give you a plug in the Levy Letter one day. And just a reminder that a week on Thursday, therell be the Christmas Carol Service for the Lord Mayor of Hull. Therell be plenty of people there. Its at the Street Life museum. Ive plugged it a couple of times. The tickets are on sale at the moment and all the money is going to the Lord Mayors appeal. Ill be reading one of the lessons. Blair Jacobs from BBC Radio Humberside will be the Master of Ceremonies and Liam Mower will be reading one of the lessons as well. Thats Thursday 7th December. Get your tickets now. If youre coming along, then I look forward to seeing you after the Carol Service for a mince pie and a drink, which is included! in the price of your ticket. Oily Fish Fish oil could be a new weapon to combat depression, according to experts. Its already thought that it could boost the brain power and keeps hearts healthy, but combined with a nutritious diet, daily Omega 3 fish oil supplements could improve your mood. One Australian dietician has said that weve found evidence of the potential therapeutic benefits of Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet, which may contribute to an eventual recovery in the long term. So to beat those moody blues, fish oil is the thing that you need! Books I mentioned some of the great books that are around at the moment. I was shopping around yesterday in Hull and looking at some of them. There are some great books in the shops. There are just a couple of things to mention. One of the books that was serialised in the paper at the weekend, is Whatever Happened to Simon Dean? Simon was a chat show host on the telly in the sixties and early seventies. Can you maybe remember that? Suddenly he had this self-destruct button and just ruined his career and that was it, he was gone forever. Now theres a book thats a biography of Simon Dean. Thats his story written by Richard Wiseman. Ive only read a serialisation, but it looks a very good read. If you remember those days, like I do, then Whatever Happened to Simon Dean? is just out. Talking of whatever happened to whatever happened to the man, who was called the next Cliff Richard? Well, apparently, he didnt want to be the next Cliff Richard. He wanted to be the next Liam Gallagher. Thats Darren Day. Darren, depending on which paper you read, has been engaged up to five times and has run away each time. Hes apparently a commitment-phobe and thats including his most recent girlfriend, Suzanne Shaw. Hes now with somebody new and thats Stephanie Dooley and hes got a young baby. He was hailed as the new Cliff Richard, but Darren Day was determined to follow a very different path. Hes blown three million pounds on cocaine. I dont know how you do that! And hes abandoned a string of celebrity fiancées. I dont know hes somebody else with a self-destruct button. Hes now living in Yorkshire, in a rented house in Barnsley, even though he had the world at his fingertips only a few weeks back. Thats the story of Darren Day and I was reading about ! that at the weekend. Ive interviewed him several times and he seems like a really nice chap, but as I say, hes got that self-destruct button, which is landing him in trouble. Winter Last week on Look North, you may remember we had a real weatherman on the programme!! That was when Ian McCaskill joined me and Paul on the sofa. Theyve got a new book out as well called Frozen In Time. Its about when winters were really winters and snow covered the ground for weeks on end. Well, we want to hear from you if you remember the winter of 1947, which is arguably the worst winter in living memory. Please get in touch with your stories and memories. Id love to hear from you. Get in touch and write me a little note [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you. Pictures Dont forget if youve got a picture, or a view, that you think we would like to see on the programme, then send it to me. Also, if youve got a problem or an issue that you think we might be able to deal with on the programme, then drop me a line. If you send me an email, then no one else sees it, just me [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enjoy your Monday afternoon. Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Bye for now.
