Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to Fridays Levy Letter. I hope your day's going well and you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. We'll have all the day's news and also Paul will have the forecast.
On the programme tonight well have a special report on the growing campaign to keep the Red Arrows flying over Lincolnshire. We'll hear how the Bishop of Lincolnshire has parachuted into the debate. We'll be live at Dunham Bridge to see what motorists think of increases in bridge tolls. Theyve had a 100% increase over the last few years. We'll speak to the father of a Yorkshire soldier forced to spend £300 buying his own boots while serving in Basra. Im sure lots of you will have something to say about that, and as ever if you have any comments or opinions well be giving out the contact details later in the programme. Also on Look North tonight we'll have the second part of our series on the life of William Wilberforce. Tonight we're going behind the scenes at Pocklington school. And if you fancy a walk this weekend, we'll have just the thing for you. Well also show all you bird lovers how you can be part of our nest box challenge. Of course well have all the rest of the days news and stories from our region at the usual time of half past six on BBC One. Michelle Michelle Dewbury of course won The Apprentice last year, shes from Hull, we know her story, and shes done hugely well. She beat off all the contestants on Sir Alan Sugars show to take the crown. Well of course since then her life has not been away from the headlines, but Michelle is a really nice lady who Ive met on a couple of occasions to interview, and shes now written her autobiography. By all accounts its quite shocking. Ive not read it yet, but its about to be published and shell be coming to Hull for a literary lunch, and when she does of course well be talking to her on the programme. Michelle Dewbury, look out for her on Look North. Shes written her autobiography, and shell be talking to me shortly. Help Dont forget, if theres anything you want some help with on the programme, if youve got a problem that you think we might be able to deal with, then drop me a line, give me the details and let me know, and also a contact telephone number as well. If theres a story that you think we should know about from our part of the world, then get in touch. If its urgent of course then you can always ring me at the BBC. Now heres a question for you, whats been your experience of the health care being offered by the NHS in East Yorkshire Hull, and Lincolnshire? Can you get to see your GP when you want? Do you have an NHS dentist locally or do you have to travel miles to be seen? Do you have to pay now after the dentist closed their books to NHS patients and youve gone to a private scheme? Have you been into hospital yourself or visited any family members in hospital? If so, what was the experience like? Was the ward clean and tidy? Was the food good? Did you have to wait ages for treatment in the first place? Well on Look North we want to know, were about to give the NHS in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire a major health check, and we want to know what you think about it. If youve got an experience of the NHS that youd like to share with us, good or bad, then drop me a line and send them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] And watch out for a feature on Look North on the National Health Service in the future. Supermarkets We were talking about supermarkets on the programme yesterday and also on the Levy Letter yesterday morning. Weve had a lot of emails on the subject of supermarkets, thank you for those. Every one that comes in, I read of course. Some we can use on the air, some in the letter, some not. Thanks for the response and keep them coming in. Dont forget of course that weve had some fabulous pictures on the programme this week. If youve got a photograph that youre particularly proud of and youd like us to show it on the programme then send it to me at the usual address. Babylon Hotel Babylon started last night, a new series of the drama set in a luxury hotel, starring Tamzin Outhwaite and Max Beesley. Well much has been made of the programme. Its had lots of publicity, I know from emails from people to me that people were looking forward to it coming back. One eagle eyed viewer spotted in a trailer that Russ Abbot is wearing the same tie in the programme that Ive got on Look North, the one that I promised to give away last Friday on the programme. Eagle eyed, or what? Well spotted. Let me know if youre enjoying Hotel Babylon. I didnt actually get to see it, but Im sure it was very good. Well thats it from me today. Have a very good weekend. If youre chatting with anyone and theyre not signed up for the Levy and theyd like one, then get them to go to one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, and sign up. If they do it at the weekend, theyll get their first and daily Levy Letter starting on Monday. Thank you for reading, enjoy your afternoon, and if youve got something planned this weekend than I hope it goes very well indeed and look out for your letter again on Monday. Bye for now. Peter.
