Hello there and welcome to the first in this weeks Levy Letters. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. It seemed to be a bit of a washout on Saturday but did brighten up on Sunday. Lets hope the rest of the week stays nice. I must say I am still holding out for a proper summer and although it is October, I havent given up hope! Stranger things have happened!
Eastenders I did mention last week that the countdown to Christmas has well and truly started as many shops have already started selling Christmas products. It is not just the shops that are counting down as the Eastenders writers have given us a spoiler as to what to expect this Christmas. Nasty Nick Cotton, the son of Dot Cotton, will be making a return having spent the past few years in prison. Do you think he will be a changed man or will he be back to make poor old Dots life miserable. Ill definitely be watching to see what happens! Another character set to make a return to Walford this Christmas is Janine Butcher. The last time she appeared she was at her fathers funeral, so what will she get up to this time? Ill be looking forward to it! Weekend Telly It was the battle of the big ones this weekend as more couples danced away on Strictly Come Dancing and the finalists were revealed on X Factor. For those of you who missed them here are the details on the winners and losers. The two couples dancing for survival were Olympic swimmer Mark Foster and Hayley Holt and chef Gary Rhodes with his partner Karen Hardy. Unfortunately it was Gary Rhodes who danced off the show this week with a judges score of 18 and the least amount of votes. If you remember I tipped Mark Foster to win, so I do hope he gets better as the series progresses. On X Factor this week the final 12 contestants were announced. The finalists from boot camp all went to the judges homes in glamorous locations to fight it out for the final places. Simon Cowell, who will be mentoring the male acts, chose Eoghan Quigg, Austin Drage and Scott Bruton. Dannii Minogue will be mentoring the over 25 acts and her finalists are Rachel Hylton, Daniel Evans and Ruth Lorenzo. Cheryl Coles acts are the under 25 females, Alexander Burke, Laura White and Diana Vickers Louis Walsh will mentor the bands, Girl Band, JLS and Bad Lashes are in the band section. Its set to be a good year of talent this series and Im looking forward to seeing who wins! Who do you think will win? Condoms for goats What do you think to this one? Ive read that Maasai herdsmen in Kenya have turned to a contraceptive device, to protect their precious goat herds from an ongoing drought. The device is called an Olor and is made from cowhide or a square piece of plastic, and is tied around the belly of the male goat, which prevents the bucks from mating with the female goats. The herdsmen are using the Olor to limit the goat population and ensure there are not too many animals grazing on sparse vegetation. Well there you go contraception for animals. Lets hope it works! Thats all from me, I hope you will join me for tonights Look North, Take care, 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.
