Good afternoon and welcome to the final edition of this week’s Levy Letter. I 
hope you are looking forward to the weekend. Hull fair starts tonight, will you 
be going? Do you make a special journey from out of town to visit or do you 
think it is overrated? Do let me know your thoughts. You can contact me on

Beatles and the Bard

I did mention a couple of days ago that a member of a Beatles tribute act is 
putting the words of Shakespeare to their music. Lois Smalley got in touch to 
tell me that Peter Sellers had recorded a version of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’. Well 
many thanks to Margaret who thought I might “like to know, you can listen to 
Peter Sellers reciting ‘Hard Day's Night’ on youtube.” I may just look it up 
and give it a listen! Thanks to everyone who got in touch, it seems that many 
of you enjoyed the story.

Broken Home

What do you think to this one? I know that divorce can be a tough time for many 
couples and many people find it an expensive and upsetting process, but this 
couple from Cambodia seem to have come to a solution. Moeun Rim and his wife, 
Nhanh, who have been married nearly 40 years, have sawn their house in half in 
an attempt to avoid the county’s complicated divorce process. They split the 
building last week following an argument. Mr Rim has removed his share of the 
house and the pair have divided their land up into four parts; two for their 
children and two for them. Legally it does not mean they have divorced but as 
long as both parties agreed to divide the home, then it remains a legal 
solution. 

Weekend Telly

As usual ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘The X Factor’ dominate the television 
schedules this weekend. However you won’t have to choose between the two as the 
schedulers have put them both on at different times so you won’t have to 
sacrifice the salsa for some singing! This week’s ‘X Factor’ brings the start 
of the live finals and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ will have the female celebrities 
dancing for success. The last female contestant to leave was Gillian Taylforth 
so I will be interested to see who it will be this week. 

What do you think of ‘Little Britain USA’, it has been getting mixed reviews 
but I don’t think you can judge on the first episode alone. The second episode 
will be on tonight, 9.30 BBC One and sees Vicky Pollard landing herself in boot 
camp!

One thing this weekend I am really looking forward to is watching ‘Stephen Fry 
in America”. It looks brilliant, as Stephen Fry goes across all 50 states in a 
London cab! His journey starts by exploring the states which make up New 
England, before heading south to the nation’s capital. Lots to choose from this 
weekend, let me know if anything caught your eye.

That is all for today’s Levy Letter. I do hope you will join me for tonight’s 
Look North.

Take care,

Peter
