Hello there and welcome to the final edition of the Levy Letter for this week. Its been a busy week here at Look North and Im really looking forward to the weekend!
This weekend is shaping up to be a great weekend of TV. The new series of Strictly Come Dancing starts this Saturday. I always try not to get caught up in it, but every year I end up having a favourite! This year my money is on swimmer Mark Foster. Last year R&B singer Alesha Dixon was the winner, so maybe its time for one of the boys to be crowned a winner this year. Another show this Saturday which promises to be a thrilling fantasy drama is a brand new series called Merlin. It is a new 13 part fantasy which follows the life of the young Merlin discovering his hidden power. It also stars former One Foot in the Grave star, Richard Wilson. Ill let you know what I thought about it next week. I was also interested to hear that the legendary Hollywood star Bette Davis will be featured on a new US postage stamp to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of her birth. The stamp will be worth 42-cents and features a portrait of the actress as she appeared in the 1950 film All About Eve. If we had commemorative stamps in the UK, who would you like to see? Let me know what you think on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Find a penny pick it up, all day long youll have good luck. Im not sure if the latter is true but I heard about a teacher from Bristol who was trying to live on £1 a day and managed to find £117 lying loose on the streets of Bristol. I think its amazing how you dont realise how much people will drop. Would you pick money up on the streets of Hull? I mentioned yesterday that a Ugandan minister is trying to ban mini skirts, well it seems that the fashion police are out again, but this time in America. A 17 year old boy was arrested for exposing 4 inches of his boxer shorts and spent a night in a Florida jail. Luckily a judge decided that the law was unconstitutional and the teenager walked free. Now we all know that diet is a big factor in preventing heart disease and it seems a Scottish hospital is introducing a heart-friendly cooking course to help cardiac patients. 18 patients have signed up for the course which will provide a more hands on approach to heart health. Thank you very much to Grahame Williams who contacted me to let me know that New Waltham Parish Council have recently commissioned a new war memorial which has now been installed on the village green. If you would like to see it, it will be dedicated on Tuesday 23rd September at 6.30pm by the Reverend Ian Shelton and the service will be attended by the Royal British Legion. Thats all for this weeks Levy Letter. I hope you will join me for tonights Look North.
