Hi there, its Peter here with the last Letter of the week. As the Met Office issues a severe weather warning for motorists to take care on the region's roads, we'll be live tonight in what could be the worst affected area. With snow forecast, well be asking Paul for the detailed weekend forecast for the weekend.
Also tonight, are our streets safe? Find out tonight why our region is ranked with the highest murder rates in the country. Plus we'll reveal how GPs in Bridlington are calling on local NHS bosses to scrap proposals to downgrade their hospital. And it's a race with a difference at Cadwell Park as the vehicles have no engines! We'll be there to take a look at how the racers are using pedal power or gravity to whiz them around the track. Thats all tonight at half past six as usual. The Beatles In Space Well, this is one elaborate way to promote a band! And The Beatles hardly need the advertising do they? Next week, theyll become the first band to have a song played in space. This whole event is to mark the fortieth anniversary of the track Across The Universe, which was originally recorded in 1966. This NASA broadcast of the Fab Fours track will also coincide with NASAs fiftieth anniversary. Do you think when the Beatles first started out that they could ever imagine their songs being transmitted into space! Jools And thats not the only anniversary to celebrate. Hes quite a cult legend Im led to believe. The music lover, Jools Holland, will be celebrating and broadcasting his 200th show tonight. I had no idea its been going on so long! Its amazing that hes still going so strong when Top Of The Pops hasnt. But hes still incredibly popular and very hard working with all his tours lined up. If you want to take a look at that programme, then its tonight on BBC Two at 11.35pm. Happy anniversary to Jools and his team! Help Yet again some help is required from you. David Jakins got in touch with me to ask for some assistance. He writes, Dear Peter Levy, I am in the process of compiling my father-in-laws war diary. There are gaps in the diary, which I would like to fill by contacting his fellow P.O.Ws or their families. Therefore I should be grateful if you would help me in tracing the families of two Ex-P.O.Ws, Len Boynton and J Lancaster both living in Hull during the 1940s. There are others, which I am trying to trace in Leeds. Both were prisoners with Bob Heppenstall at Capua and Camp 53 Macerata in Italy before being moved to Stammlager 17B outside Krems Austria. So theres the plea from David. Wouldnt it be amazing if a Levy Letter reader could help him! As always, get in touch if you know anything about this. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get me direct. Well, thats it from me. Thanks for all your photos this week, especially showing our particularly wintry weather were having at the moment. Keep them coming and if theres any news stories that you think we should know about, then let me know as well. Take care, and have a lovely weekend, Peter And for the latest news and more where you live, go to: http://bbc.co.uk/humber and http://bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the BBC Look North newsletter, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/looknorthhull/newsletter/newsletter_index.shtml, enter your email address in the unsubscribe box. 1.94.4
