Hello and welcome to Fridays Levy Letter, whatever you have planned for the weekend then I hope it goes well. On the show tonight, the MOD is under attack today after another low flying chopper mission spooked residents and horses near Louth. We'll have one local coroner's view on the controversy.
Can he do it? On the last day of campaigning, we'll follow Alan Johnson as he returns to Hull to drum up support for his bid to become Deputy Prime Minister. He would be the second Deputy PM in a row to be based in Hull of course. We'll have exclusive access to the region's newest tourist attraction, but does the Bridlington Eye mean the resort is in the up? We also reveal why rail campaigners in our region are celebrating today. And find out how you can spot dolphins off the East Coast this weekend, and also how you can help keep track of the majestic creatures. They dont often come to our area, so catch them while you can. Dont miss our report tonight. Plus we go behind the scenes of the brand new exhibition celebrating Beverley's historic tanning industry. Of course well also have the weather forecast as usual, thats all coming up at 6.30 tonight on Look North. Half Marathon Dont forget its the Humber Half Marathon this weekend, Paul and I will be there to start it off, join us if you can on Sunday morning from around 9:15. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the weather! Paul Potts Its the show that everyone has been talking about, its called Britains Got Talent. The winner is the man with the incredible voice Paul Potts and hes said that hes going to be spending some of his hundred thousand pounds on a visit to the cosmetic dentist! Well with that amount of money he should soon have dazzlingly white, perfect teeth. Digital Television More than 80% of homes now have digital TV on their main set according to research. Around 20.4 million were receiving digital TV by the end of March. Of course the government will begin turning off the old analogue transmissions in this country in the next few months. I have to say that BBC3 and BBC4 are fab extra channels, not that Im biased!! £5 If like me youve noticed how youre always looking for a £5 note then youre not alone. When you do find one theyre normally very crumpled and old. Well it seems its a rare treat to find a crisp fiver these days. One of the reasons is that the banks dont put them in the holes in the wall, plenty of fivers are being printed but they are just not getting in the chain so now we know. Buses By pure coincidence I had several e mails about buses today, thanks for all of those. We will, I am sure, be looking at the services offered by bus companies over the next few weeks. If you have story that you think we should know about then get in touch you can ways e mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just time for a couple of plugs for local events here, this one was sent by Carr lane Infant School in Willerby. Well be merging with our nearby junior school at the end of July. The infant school are holding a special carnival parade to mark the occasion. Thursday, 28th June 2007. The children have worked with a professional samba band and dancer, made masks and costumes. This will be a very colourful local event, joining together the schools and the community. And its free to attend, so hopefully if youre in the Willerby area you can pop along and enjoy some samba music! And theres another local event being held today at The Orangery, Sewerby Hall in Bridlington. Its the Driffield Miscellany Singers 21st Anniversary Charity Concert. You can go along at 7.30pm tonight, tickets are £8, which also includes a light supper and a glass of wine. Its all for a good cause, the proceeds go to Alfred Bean Hospital, The Driffield Trip Day, and The Driffield Old Folks Tea. Good luck to them. Well thats about it from me, have a good weekend, bye for now.
