Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to todays Levy Letter. I hope your Thursday'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 stories from our region as always, and Paul will have the detailed weather forecast. Its at the usual time on BBC One at half past six.
Website Well if youve not been to the Look North website just recently then I urge you to go. Its looking good, the address is www.bbc.co.uk/looknorth. You can look at all the different stories that youve seen the previous night. If theres one that you want to find out more about then you can just click on the story and watch it again. And if you ever get home late, you might want to watch it back later in the evening. Well the Look North website has a watch again facility so you can watch back the whole programme or just the particular story that you want. Theres also a detailed local weather forecast, and also of course details of lots of other things going on around our region. Thats the BBC Look North Website. You can now watch the programme wherever you are, whenever you are. If youve got friends or relatives in another part of the country or even abroad and they want to log on, they can see the most recent programme. Get them to do it by going to the website. Garden Well what is it outside in the garden or around that annoys you most? Most people would probably be say the neighbours. Well, theyre supposed to sooth listeners and add an air of tranquillity to the garden, but for most, the gentle tinkle of wind chimes achieves the opposite effect. A survey has named them the most hated garden accessory, more likely to irritate the neighbours than anything else. In a poll, giant trampolines are another one. Hot tubs, solar lights too. I dont think solar lights can be very offensive can they? Also fairy lights can all be a source of friction between neighbours. Barbecues of course are in there as well. Im sure gnomes are in there too. The biggest issue is wind chimes, apparently we hate them. They irritate people more than anything else. Life On Mars Thanks for all the emails saying how much they enjoyed Life On Mars, and are there going to be any more. There arent actually going to be any more, but there will be a sort of spin-off series which is being talked about. But Life On Mars was a huge hit, and it went out with a bang on Tuesday night. Nearly 8 million viewers tuned in to find out whether DI Sam Tyler, played by John Simm was in a coma, mad, or really had travelled back in time. Life On Mars faced tough competition with two English teams in thrilling Champions League matches, but with nearly 2 million more viewers at its peak, Life On Mars was the most watched TV show that night. Well done to everyone who was involved in Life On Mars. The complete series two is out next Monday on DVD, if youre interested. This spin off series is going to be on the way shortly. I know its been a huge hit. Bad Tempered Well Britain is becoming increasingly over crowded, fragmented, and bad tempered according to government officials. They portray a crammed country with people hemmed in ever closer together amid rising levels of anti-social behaviour and growing discontent with every day life. It sounds a jolly place to live doesnt it? The countrys population has grown by nearly 3 million in just 15 years. It makes you wonder why we stay doesnt it? Were all becoming over crowded and bad tempered according to new research which is just out. Fish I mentioned yesterday that the sales of crab have soared thanks to celebrity chef and Padstow resident Rick Stein. Well now I see that sales of squid have soared to an all time high as well as Britons experiment with more unusual sea food. Demand is so great that its even overtaken the traditional cod in some fish mongers. The calamari craze has been helped by celebrity chefs such as Rick Stein as well. Another factor is concern over dwindling stocks of more common fish. Apparently squid is what we are eating, and the headline is We are all barmy for calamari. I have to say Im not quite sure whether I like squid or not. I think Id had some on a pizza, Im not entirely sure. Anyway, its doing well. If you have views on that or indeed anything else then drop me a line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont forget, if youve got a story or an issue that you think we should be covering on the programme then drop me a line, give me the details and well see if we can cover it on the programme one night. If its a leave it to Levy, give me a contact telephone number as well in case we need to get in touch. Send it to the same address and its the same for photos as well. Enjoy your afternoon, join me tonight as ever on BBC One at half past six for Thursdays Look North. Ill see you then, bye for now.
