Hello there. Welcome to Thursday’s edition of the Levy Letter. I do hope it 
finds you well. Have you managed to catch my new show on BBC Radio Humberside 
yet? It’s full of great chat, great music and great guests, so please tune in. 
I will be chatting to poet Pam Ayres today and former cricketer Darren Gough 
between 12pm and 2pm. If you are not in the area you can listen online at 
bbc.co.uk/humberside or tune your dial to 95.9FM, 1485AM or on DAB. If you miss 
it you can always listen again online too. 

Cliff Richard and the Shadows

Now not a week goes by without hearing that some pop band or other is making a 
comeback. Take That have been very successful, Boyzone have also attempted it 
and the Spice Girls had a highly popular world tour. Now it seems that Cliff 
Richard and The Shadows are trying to get in on the act too. They will reunite 
for an arena tour in 2009 to celebrate their 50th anniversary. During the late 
50s and 60s they dominated the charts and notched up 19 number one hits between 
them. It will be the first time they have performed together in concert for 20 
years. There will be 11 dates across the country and it will be their final 
tour. Tickets will go on sale this Sunday. They will be visiting London, 
Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield and 
finally, Manchester. Best get your credit cards at the ready!

Britney Spears

Singer Britney Spears has also confirmed that she will be appearing in the UK 
next year. She will play the 02 Arena in London in June next year, which will 
be her only European show on her forthcoming world tour. Tickets will go on 
sale on the 5th December. Britney Spears will also be performing her new single 
on ‘The X Factor’ this weekend. It tops of a very successful year for the 
singer who has began her comeback after a very public meltdown last year. 

Nurse chat

I’ve been reading today that nurses have been given new guidelines from the 
Nursing and Midwifery Council, suggesting that calling older patients “dearie” 
or “love” be ruled out as it could be deemed offensive. Nurses should speak 
“courteously and respectfully” and use patients’ preferred names the Council 
has suggested.  However terms of endearment can be used in some areas if they 
are part of everyday speech. The guidelines have been constructed around the 
views of older people and fits in with the government’s drive for dignity in 
care. I’d like to hear what you think to this one. Do you think the Council is 
right to bring out these guidelines or is it just another case of PC gone mad. 
I’d love to hear your thoughts. You can email me on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That’s all for the letter today. I hope you will join me for Look North tonight 
at 6.30pm on BBC One. 

Take care,

Peter
