Hi there, its Peter with Wednesdays Levy Letter. Tonight on the programme, we'll have a special report on why a body set up to protect migrant workers has failed to make any prosecutions against rogue gang masters.
Also we'll be finding out why pubs in Hull are swapping glass for plastic and yet still one victim of a pub glassing isn't convinced this will prevent night time violence. We'll be looking at our region's tourism hotspots. And as always well want you to get in touch with us! Well be asking you what your favourite locations are as our region tries to sell itself to the world. And we'll meet a man, who's taken his model making hobby to the extreme and now has a scale model of a Lancaster bomber in his dining room. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. And a text from last night commented on the lack of bags under Pauls eyes! Either his little baby is very well behaved or hes not doing the lions share of the night time call outs! Either way, hell be with us tonight for the weather as usual. A couple of plugs first I think. So much is going on around our region at the moment. Lots of Christmas activities, so its great to give them a mention in the Letter. An email has come in to let me know that on the 14th December, the villagers of Kirkby On Bain, near Woodhall Spa will be carol singing around the nativity scene in the gazebo of the Ebrington Arms beer garden. They say that mulled wine will be served to get them in voice. Very nice too! And an email from Mike Johnson here Brigg District Lions are holding our annual Christmas Fayre in Brigg Market Place on Friday 30th November starting with the switching on of the town Christmas lights by the cast of the Scunthorpe pantomime at 5pm quickly followed by the arrival of Santa in a trap drawn by a pair of miniature Shetland Ponies. We have around eighty craft and charity stalls, together with local singing groups, Morris dancers and the Ancholme River Jazz Band. So thanks Mike for letting us know about that. Briggs a lovely town, so make a note in your diary for their Christmas Fayre this Friday. And I had to put in a plug for this! Its the 25th anniversary Carol Service this year in Lincoln Cathedral. Its on the 16th December at 7.30pm. Lincoln-based film actor Colin McFarlane has agreed to take part, the Band of the RAF College Cranwell will be playing and a sixty strong young choir from Lincoln Minister School will lead the singing. The winners of the 2007 Junior Schools Song Competition, Caistor COE/Methodist Primary School are singing three carols and trumpeter Rob Scullion will be performing too. And Ive been very honoured to be asked to do a reading as well. BBC Radio Lincolnshire and myself will be telling the Christmas Story. So Im really looking forward to that. I think itll be a wonderful evening to celebrate Christmas. Its on Sunday 16th December at 7.30pm. If you do come, then come early, because it gets very full I believe. And the service will also be broadcast at 10am on Christmas morning as well on BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Im very excited to be! a part of that. Croak Unlike me, if youre lucky enough to have a garden, then you may welcome the gentle croak and ribbit sounds coming from your amphibian neighbours! But there are fears for Britains toad population. Theyre at risk from a deadly infection that has driven many of the worlds amphibians to extinction already. At the moment the fungal toad disease is confined to Kent, where it was brought in by important frogs. But if it spreads further, then it could, in theory, completely wipe out the British toad population. To The Manor Born As you know, I love the old sitcoms like Allo Allo and The Good Life and Only Fools And Horses. I never get tired of watching them again and again. Well, good news for me at least, but Im sure many other people will be thrilled with this news too. The classic comedy, To The Manor Born, is to return to the TV for a one-off Christmas special. Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles will be back as the aristocratic Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton and Richard DeVere. The last time we saw those characters was back in 1981 when they finally got married. Can you remember that? This Christmas special will see the couple celebrating their silver wedding anniversary. So I for one am very excited about that! Look out for that on BBC One over the Christmas holidays. Well, that's it from me for now. I hope you have a good day. Join me tonight for the programme if you can!
