Hello its Peter here, and welcome to Thursdays Levy Letter. I hope your days going well and youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six for Look North.
On the programme tonight we have a special report on the official inquiry into the murder of Rosie May Storrie and her killer Paul Smith. It's trained many of the military drivers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and tonight we'll be looking at fears for the future of the Leconfield army base near Beveley. Find out why one group of residents is getting hot under the collar over threats of arson on one estate in Hull. Police say its a victimless crime, if thats possible. Find out why Lincolnshire bell ringers are looking for divine inspiration from me. And meet the North Lincolnshire schoolboy wholl be following in the footsteps of the Beatles by having his music recorded at the famous Abbey Road studios. Well have all that, and the rest of the days news and stories from around out region at six thirty on BBC One. And of course Paul will be here with the forecast as usual. Emails Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects, lets keep them coming in, and dont forget, if theres an issue or a story you think we should know about then let me know and if youve got a problem or a query you think we might be able to do on the programme then the address as ever is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sir Norman Ive had the pleasure of interviewing Sir Norman Wisdom, veteran comic, two or three times over the years. He lives down on the Isle of Man. Hes actually 92 but hes got so much energy, its extraordinary. Hes working on a new comedy film called Espresso, in which he plays a vicar. Its a series of short stories set around a table in a café. Dame Judi Dench is also in it. Hes such an amazing man, he says I dont like sitting around and doing nothing, so when I was asked to do this I thought why not? Thats Sir Norman Wisdom whos 92 next month. Hes still going strong and still working hard. Somebody who was also very funny but is no longer with us is Les Dawson. The widow of Les Dawson, Tracey Dawson, has said shes disappointed the BBC doesnt show any repeats of Les Dawsons work. She says they show Morecombe and Wise, but Les Dawson we never see. Are there any other people you think we should see more of on the TV? If so, then let me know. Wine Well theyve been hailed as a modern, cheap, and safe way of sealing wine, but the screw top bottles could hide an unpleasant surprise for many drinkers. In contrast to traditional corks, the caps stop the wine from breathing, leaving them at risk from the chemical process of sulphidisation. When the top is taken off, wine lovers are confronted with the smell of sulphur. I dont know about you, but you always feel short changed if you dont have to get the cork screw out and take a cork out of a bottle. Whether it makes any difference to the wine or not, I dont know, Im not an expert. Well now the wine experts are saying that it is spoiling the wine, so no doubt well hear more about that one. Dancing on Ice It was a hit programme last year of course when Gaynor Faye got to the top. I mentioned it a few days ago, well it comes back on our screens this weekend. The Yorkshire actress - well shes obviously from Australia originally - Emily Symonds, is going to be taking part. Shes already had an accident in preparation, but she says shes going to go ahead and do it anyway. How they work out the insurance for the skaters, I dont know. The programme is back on Saturday. Ulrika Jonsson is also taking part. Look out for it at the weekend. Last time it was on of course it reintroduced loads of people to skating, and got a surge of interest in the sport. >From looking at Grimsby and also Lincoln over Christmas, I saw the ice skating >rink and the number of people on there. It just goes to show its hugely >popular. I also went to the skating rink at the Eden Project down in Cornwall. >They had one over Christmas. Its absolutely huge, jam packed with people >skating, so theres a great love of the sport, and of course therere very few >skating rinks in this country. Fashion Well for the fellas, if you want a suit its usual that you have to put your hand in your pocket for at least £80. Well from yesterday one supermarket chain is selling their own brand of suit at just £19. Its fashionable in style I hear, and only comes in one colour, and that is black. But its just for £19, so the clothes get cheaper and cheaper. It is amazing how, when I was young, just buying a shirt was a big deal. Now you can go into the cheap shops and pick up a perfectly good, serviceable shirt for just £4. How things have changed. Letter If you know anybody whos not signed up to the Levy Letter then get them to go to one of the links at the bottom of the page and click on levy letter sign up.

If thats you or somebody you know, then get in touch and let us know as soon as possible. Well thats it for me this Wednesday, have a very good afternoon and see you tonight on BBC One at half past six. Take care, bye for now.
