Hello there and welcome to the final edition of this weeks Levy Letter. Wasnt it windy last night? I know the Humber Bridge was down to 30 mph because of the side winds. Lets hope the weather stays nice this weekend. Paul will have the forecast for the weekend on tonights programme; lets hope it is good news!
Warm Feelings Ive been reading today that if you want someone to warm to you the best thing to do, to win them over, is to give them a hot drink. American researchers suggest that people are more likely to judge strangers as welcoming and trustworthy when they are holding a hot cup of coffee. Volunteers in the study were asked to rate people and research found that people were judged to be 11% warmer and friendlier after holding a hot drink than after holding a cold drink. Well there you go, if you want people to warm to you bring them a hot drink! Mines a cup of tea please! Cat Comeback It seems that not a week goes by when you hear of some vintage TV show making a comeback. Well what do you think to this one? The lovable cloth cat Bagpuss may be returning to our screens for a whole new generation of viewers. The company which owns the rights to the character changed hands and the new owners have the rights until at least 2013. Can you believe that they only made 13 episodes way back in 1974, yet so many people are big fans? In 1999 Bagpuss was named favourite childrens TV show and earlier this year the furry feline was named best TV animal of all time in an online poll. What were your favourite childrens TV characters? Id love to hear from you. You can contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember if you have anything else you would like to discuss please get in touch. Weekend Telly As it is Friday I thought you might like to hear about things to look out for on the box this weekend. As usual The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing will have their contestants singing and dancing for survival as they try and stay in the competition for another week. On Strictly Come Dancing this week the contestants will either perform a Viennese Waltz or Paso Doble, and singer Enrique Iglesias will be performing on the results show on Sunday night. 10 acts remain on The X Factor this week. Louis Walsh only has one band, JLS, left in his group so no doubt he will be hoping the viewers will be sympathetic. It is the fourth episode of Little Britain USA this week and if you are a fan of James Bond be sure to watch Jonathon Ross as Daniel Craig will be making an appearance. If you enjoy your dancing and music you might want to check out Britannia High which starts on ITV1 this Saturday. It is the brainchild of Arlene Phillips, who is best known as one of the judges on Strictly Come Dancing. It comes across as a mix of Fame and High School Musical so a good one to watch with the family this week. And if you are a fan of costume dramas and adaptations, then be sure to look out for Charles Dickens Little Dorrit which debuts on BBC One this Sunday at 8pm. Phew! I hope you manage to grab hold of the remote this weekend! If you manage to catch anything over the weekend Id love to hear your thoughts. Thats all for todays Levy Letter. Dont forget the clocks go back tomorrow night and enjoy your extra hour in bed!
