Hi there and welcome to the start of another week of Levy Letters. Its Peter here as usual. On tonight's programme, we will be examining the controversial strategy of flood management, which could see large parts of valuable farm land along the East Coast and Humber estuary lost to rising water levels. Well get the details to you tonight on this.
Also, as the price of oil continues to rise, we'll take a look at the rural communities, who rely on oil for daily necessities like cooking and heating. We'll spend a day at Wainfleet St Mary to assess what impact is being felt in the village by soaring fuel costs. Well have the story of the boy from North East Lincolnshire, whos undergone the terrifying experience of being mauled by a dog and hell be telling us about his experience on the programme tonight. And in sport, we'll be spending time with the Hull City fans queuing to get their hands on valuable season tickets and Damian will look at Hull FC's dramatic victory, which saw them reach the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup. As the aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight helps to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Berlin airlift, we'll show you the pictures from the event in Berlin at the weekend. Thats all on BBC One at half past six. TV There was some good TV at the weekend with two talent search finals reaching their climax on Saturday night. The young fourteen year old dancer won Britains Got Talent, the £100,000 prize money and a chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance this year. And in Id Do Anything, the Blackpool lass, Jodie Prenger, won the role of Nancy in the West End musical Oliver!. And it was certainly a very emotional win. And I think the whole series has been close in terms of the talent. I have to say that I voted for Jessie, but Jodie has certainly been a favourite in the newsroom here. Jodie now has six months of rehearsal before her opening night and I believe shell be starring opposite Rowan Atkinson as Fagin. So there you go, the final of two talent shows at the weekend. Fish Sitting on a wet and muddy river bank all day or worse still in a leaky boat doesnt sound like my cup of tea, but Ive read that fishing could be the latest tactic to help disadvantaged children overcome their problems. A school in Wales is using this hobby to help those pupils who have come from broken homes or who have behavioural problems and learning difficulties. They claim that the pastime is helping improve their temperaments by calming them down. Well, I could see that! Sitting all day on the riverbank must surely send anybody to sleep! Teachers are also claiming that the fishing is helping improve pupils computer skills and mathematics and is boosting their confidence. So there you go. Fishing is the latest thing in the classroom! Well, that's it from me for now. I hope you can join me tonight for Look North as usual. And if you want to let me know what you got up to over the weekend, then do get in touch. If youve got any photographs from the weekend if you were out and about in the county, then Id love to take a look at them, so send them in.
