Hello and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your days going well and you can join me for tonights Look North on BBC One at half past six. Tonight on the programme, its come from New York to Hull, well report on a new community justice scheme being trialled in the city.
The KC Stadium hosts its most lucrative game ever as Premiership big boys Chelsea play Hull to defend the Carling Cup. Our sports reporter Damian Johnson will be at the game. Ill be speaking to Gillian Merron about the latest developments at the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth. And Hollywood comes to the region again as the coronation scenes for the Young Victoria movie are filmed at Lincoln Cathedral. Well have the story as one surprise visitor to the set stole the show. And of course well have the weather forecast for the region on the programme tonight with Lisa Gallagher. Thats all coming up at half past six on BBC One. Air Ambulance Ive got a plug here for an event on October 19th. Its at the Cross Keys Inn at Grasby, and its in aid of the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance. Unfortunately, the organisers are in need of a band or singer willing to come and provide entertainment for free. If you can help them out, its for a good cause, then contact Mrs Hagyard on 01469 519574. Hopefully theyll find a performer or a band to help the event go with a swing and raise some money. Chuckle Brothers Well weve had them on the programme, and you might be familiar with their trademark exchange To me, To you. This week the Chuckle Brothers are celebrating 20 years of their BBC programme ChuckleVision. Has it really been that long? Theyve been incredibly popular with their brand of slapstick since the very first show back in 1987. They come from a family of performers and comedians, and incredibly, theyre 60 and 63 years old. You wouldnt tell from the way they fall about and carry on. So congratulations to the Chuckle Brothers for 20 years of their programme, a lot of children have grown up with it I think, speaking to some of the younger people I work with. Well done to them, and Im sure theyll be slipping on banana skins and hitting each other on the head with wooden planks for years to come. Tea Well Ive reported a few health fads here in the letter, and theres a story in the news today about the reported health benefits in a cup of tea. Its very confusing these days to work out exactly whats good for you and whats not, there seem to be contradicting studies on nearly everything. Now Im one of those who heard that tea is supposed to be good for you, but the Advertising Standards Authority has criticised an advert for tea recommending four cups a day. The Tea Council campaign claimed that tea was rich in beneficial antioxidants also found in fruit and vegetables, and that this was backed by scientific papers. However, the Advertising authority says there is no evidence for this. Its all rather confusing. Apparently, research into the health benefits of tea are promising but inconclusive. So there you are, tea might have health benefits, but theyre not entirely sure. Im glad thats all cleared up then. Thats about it from me today.
