Good afternoon, its Peter here. Welcome to Thursdays Levy Letter. Tonight on the programme, we'll meet the Bridlington cancer victim, who is astounding medical experts. Well have his story on Look North.
And we'll have a special report as the cash row erupts over the future funding of Lincolnshire Police as ministers threat to cap the council tax increase of 80%. Well get the latest on this. Plus they're pushing for promotion. We'll get all the action as Hull City gears up for this weekend's big match against Watford. We'll meet the new faces in the Red Arrows team as they launch their new 2008 formation. And we'll follow the success of the 102 year old woman from Lincolnshire who's set to appear on a top American talk show. Thats all on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me! Apprentice Its back! The Apprentice with Sir Alan Sugar is back with a new series on BBC One and it looks like its set to be popular once again, attracting about 6.4 million viewers. I actually find it quite addictive to see who will get fired each week, especially because I have to admit some of the characters arent exactly timid or shy people are they? They certainly like the limelight dont they?! I wont give away who was fired last night, just in case you havent seen it yet. But I believe its available from the BBCs Iplayer if you want to catch up with the first episode last night. And another really popular drama on the BBC, which I know a lot of the newsroom like, is getting a new spin-off. The spy drama, Spooks, is travelling to the future in this new series called Spooks: Code 9 and is set in 2013 after London has been evacuated following a nuclear attack. Sounds cheerful stuff doesnt it! Theyre filming in Bradford at the moment and my colleagues in the newsroom are certainly excited about that new series! Potholes Well, judging by the emails that came in when we looked at the problem of potholes in our region, you certainly get mad whenever Look North talks about them! I read though that the Scottish local authorities have paid out almost £2million in compensation due to claims over road defects, such as potholes, during the past five years. But an insurance company said the figures obtained from councils by the BBC Scotland news website were just a fraction of the true cost to motorists. The company claimed that road surface defects cost British drivers about £320m each year, but the amount paid out to motorists is much lower, because claims are very difficult to prove. So there you go. We looked at the problem of potholes on Look North not that long ago and I was amazed at the number of emails we got from angry motorists! Of course, were continuing to follow this story. If youre still worried about potholes or youve got a story that you think we should know about, then keep in to! uch with me on the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enjoy your Thursday today. And Ive just had the thought that the clocks go forward this weekend! Wont it be lovely to have longer, lighter evenings again? Roll on summer I say!
