Hello there and welcome to the last in this weeks Levy Letter. Are you looking forward to the weekend? I do hope the weather gets better! As I look out of the office windows the sun does seem to be rearing its head so lets hope it stays like that! I hope Paul has some good news for us this evening!
Awards The red carpet was out last night in Liverpool as the MTV Europe Music Awards came to the European Capital of Culture this year. American stars dominated the ceremony and took the majority of gongs home. However two of our home-grown stars did manage to take at least a couple of the awards. Rick Astley won the Best Act Ever award and Sir Paul McCartney won Ultimate Legend award. Other winners included Britney Spears, who seems to be making a successful comeback, who was awarded Act of 2008 and Best Album and the events host, Katy Perry, also took home the New Act award. Doggies in the White House Ive been reading today that when the new President moves into the White House, he will not only have to decide who will be in his cabinet but which puppy to bring in to accompany the family. In his election victory speech he told his daughters, "I love you both so much and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House." What sort of dog do you think would be suitable for the new First Family? A pedigree dog or a rescue dog? And what to call it? All manner of choices which could influence the next four years! No doubt it will have to be well trained, can you imagine if it started trying to bite other world leaders coming to visit?! Id love to hear your suggestions! Children In Need Just to remind you it is Children in Need night next Friday. If you want to get involved and Do Something Different this year but dont know where to start, you can collect a fundraising pack from our offices in Hull, Lincoln and Grimsby. For more information head on down to bbc.co.uk/pudsey Weekend Telly If you find yourself at a bit of a loose end this weekend, here are my highlights to look out for. It is the last episode of Little Britain USA tonight. Have you been watching the series? Walliams and Lucas always seem to push the boundaries with every series and I think this one is one of the best. But I do wonder if our American counterparts find it as funny. If youve not managed to see it yet, check it out, but obviously with the younger members of your family tucked away in bed!! The weekend schedule is still dominated by the reality TV heavyweights of The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing. It is really hard to judge who will be crowned winner of either of these shows. Who do want to win? Have any of you put some cheeky bets on in the hopes of a windfall? Id love to hear from you. You can contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] If youve missed any of the Little Dorrit series, you can catch up with episodes 3 and 4 this Sunday on BBC One before the next episode on Wednesday. Britannia High started a couple of weeks back, have you managed to check it out? It may be aimed at the younger audience but I think it is something the whole family can sit down and watch, but you may find yourself bursting into song afterwards! Ive just got time to mention that my new show on BBC Radio Humberside starts on Monday. You can tune in at 12pm on 95.5 FM, 1485 AM and on DAB. Id love to hear your thoughts on the topics of the day so make sure you give me a call! Thats all for todays Levy Letter. I hope you will join me for Look North tonight.
