Hello there and welcome to the final edition of the Levy Letter for this week. I hope you are looking forward to the weekend, I know I certainly am!
I mentioned earlier this week that free tickets were to be given away for free to young adults as part of a £2.5 government-funded scheme to get young people interested in the theatre. Well, Sheila got in touch with me and suggested that instead of giving free theatre tickets to people who may or may not be interested for whatever reasons why not give the money to make theatre tickets cheaper and then a possible choice for everyone. Thanks for getting in touch Sheila. If you have anything you would like to comment on please get in touch. Contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bonjour! It is the European Day of Languages today, and Ive been reading that a recent survey suggests that half of the adults in the UK have forgotten the languages they learnt in school. I can understand how this can happen. Unless you use it everyday it is very easy to forget apart from a few key phrases. However back in my day there wasnt a range of languages available, French, Latin and German if you were lucky. School children now get the opportunity to learn Spanish and in some cases Arabic and Chinese. Do you still remember any French from your schooldays? I think all I seem to remember is où est la barre?! Comebacks Do you have a favourite gameshow? I always thought that the Krypton Factor was brilliant. It was always a good mix of brain and body challenges. Well, I hear that it is making a comeback! It will be revived by ITV to come back in 2009. Gladiators made a really good comeback, so I look forward to seeing how the producers will revamp it, especially if they use all the latest technology. Would you be in interested in auditioning for it? Or would you prefer to be a contestant on different classic show? I know Ill be looking forward to seeing it! Weekend Telly. As its Friday, I thought I would give you a roundup of shows to look out for this weekend. If youre a fan of Little Britain, the show creators Matt Lucas and David Walliams will be joining Jonathon Ross tonight, and they will be talking about their new show Little Britain USA. Phil Daniels danced away from Strictly Come Dancing last week. I didnt think he would be the first to leave so I do think it really is anyones game. Do you have a firm favourite to win? The X-Factor is on again this week but we wont have the chance to giggle at funny auditions. This is where it gets serious, its time for the Boot Camp stages. There are a whole new bunch of famous faces acting as mentors this year. Emma Bunton from the Spice Girls will be assisting Dannii Minogue, Kimberley Walsh from Girls Aloud will be helping her bandmate Cheryl Cole, Shane Filan from Westlife will be advising Louis Walsh and 80s pop star Sinitta will be on hand to help Simon Cowell. Sunday night will have the penultimate episode of Tess of the DUrbervilles. If you like costume dramas, Im sure you will have enjoyed watching this Thomas Hardy classic. Have a great weekend, I hope you will join me for tonights Look North.
