Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to todays 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 as usual. Coming up on tonights programme, with more than six hundred workers facing an uncertain future we'll be looking at just why Skeltons Bakery has gone into administration and whether there is any hope of a new buyer being found. Skeltons is such a well known name in these parts it would be sad to lose it.
Scores of wind farms are planned for East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and tonight we'll have a special report from a community in Cornwall that's been living with the giant turbines for more than a decade. We'll see what impact they've had on family life and tourism. Wind turbines are such a controversial subject, its be interesting to see how people have lived with them for so long. We've all seen glossy so-called coffee table books for sale but tonight we feature one with a difference... it's all about Hull's Orchard Park estate A special piece of vaudeville history goes under the hammer today with the sale in Lincoln of a collection of marionettes... we'll have the fascinating story behind these puppets. We'll also be meeting a young dancer destined for great things! And well have the forecast from Lisa. Heather I see that Heather Mills is on her charm offensive at the moment doing the American equivalent of Come Dancing. She does a back flip which people are amazed at, but almost overnight from being very hostile to her, the American people are loving Heather. So now no doubt shes hoping the same will happen here. I think the Come Dancing is being shown over here from America, with Heather Mills transformation from hate figure to loved. Well have to see if it happens here. I was talking yesterday about Connie Fisher, and this click track. Shes now admitted that on some songs she sings with a click track. This is basically her voice superimposed as she sings, so if she cant quite hit the high notes, then the click track will have the sound of her voice anyway, which rather begs the question of whats the point of going to see somebody sing live if theyre going to sing with a backing track. Its got plenty of column inches in the paper and on radio and TV. I saw her being interviewed on breakfast TV yesterday morning talking about the same story. Chocolate Treating yourself to chocolate and sweets can help you achieve a difficult task. Apparently new research shows that if youve got a difficult job, eating some chocolate will make you feel good about yourself. There we are, surprise surprise. Speeding We were talking about speed cameras last night on the programme and a few days ago we were talking about closed circuit television cameras and the proliferation of them in this country. Its interesting that there is 1% of the worlds population in the UK, but 20% of the worlds closed circuit television cameras. Thats just how many cameras there are in this country. The Royal I missed it on Sunday but The Royal is back on the TV, filmed around Whitby and Scarborough. I love the programme, its on Sunday nights, and of course on the Audience with Peter Levy raising money for Children in Need just before Christmas, we had the actress Michelle Hardwick. Michelle plays Lizzie on the programme. Shes a Yorkshire actress born and bred in Leeds. If youre a fan of The Royal, it is back. I dont think theyve done too much advertising on that, and its on Sundays. Stories Dont forget, if youve got a story you think we should know about, and you think it would make an interesting discussion point on the programme then all you have to do is put pen to paper and give me the details and also a contact telephone number as well. If you think theres a problem or an issue that you think we might be able to tackle on the programme and do as an issue then give me all the details and give them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Im on the other end of the email if you want to drop me a line right now. Titanic We had a film about it on the programme last night. The Hessle Theatre Company are doing Titanic the Musical. Last night was their first night. Ive not heard from anybody about it yet, but Im sure it was a great success. If you havent got tickets already then try to get to see Titanic the Musical on at Hull New Theatre this week until Saturday. Theres a matinee on Saturday as well. We wish them all the very best for their run. Well thats it from me today, join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual. Ill see you then. Bye for now.
