Hello, it’s Peter here and welcome to Thursday’s Levy Letter. I hope your day 
is going well and I hope you’ll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm 
as usual. I’ll have all the day’s news and Paul will have the detailed weather 
forecast.

Tonight on the programme, after one person is killed in a gas blast in Hull, 
I’ll be investigating what caused the explosion, which could be heard five 
miles away across the city. I’ll have the latest on that one.

Also, we’re waiting to hear whether the Bridlington Eye has been given the go 
ahead by the High Court. Judges are deciding on the fate of the big wheel! I’ll 
bring you that decision on the programme at half past six. 

Plus, I’ll be talking to one of Yorkshire’s most famous actresses, ClaireKing. 
She’s the star of Emmerdale, Bad Girls and Hollyoaks. She’ll be telling me 
about her life on the screen. I hope you can join me then. 


Pictures

It’s been a busy week this week for pictures. Thanks for all of those that 
you’ve sent in. If you’ve got a picture that you like and you want to see it on 
the Big Screen, then send it to me. Give me the picture. Either send me a hard 
copy in the post or drop me an email and send it to me as an email attachment 
to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] And indeed email me about anything 
else as well. If you’ve got a problem that you think I might be able to address 
on Leave it to Levy, then email me with the details. 


Ooh Matron

Fourteen years after its last appearance, Carry On films are making a comeback. 
Carry On London, the thirty-second in the series famous for its saucy humour 
and slapstick, will cost £6.4 million and will star Shane Ritchie, Vinnie Jones 
and ex-playboy model, Victoria Silvestd. The film centres on a limousine 
company, ferrying celebrities to the film awards. The Carry On film, the first 
one for fourteen years, is the thirty-second in the series. It’s costing £6.4 
million pounds and it’s on its way. That’s good news for Carry On films. 

Someone has emailed in this week to our inbox saying that they thought that I 
reminded them of Charles Haughtry…which of course I did not laugh at! 


School Dinners

Children should eat the school dinners put in front of them rather than being 
given too much choice of dishes, according to one of the country’s foremost 
authorities on food. Pru Leith said that less variety would help children 
develop healthier eating habits. The cook and restaurateur said that they 
should be offered one healthy hot meal and a salad. Britain was at its 
healthiest in the period just after the Second World War when the last thing 
children had was choice. Those are the words from Pru Leith. Your stories on 
school meals and your thoughts on school dinners, gratefully received as ever. 


Levy  

Thanks to two or three people, who have sent this in on email attachments and 
also in the post. The headline appeared in the paper a few days ago – Levy 
Faces Grilling! This of course is to do with the PM’s fundraising chief, Lord 
Levy. He’s being quizzed by a committee later this year. So that’s absolutely 
nothing to do with me! Unusual and not very common surname as well – Lord Levy! 
Nothing to do with me. Although I wouldn’t mind having something to do with his 
money. I’m sure he’s worth a bob or two! But thank you for those clips, which 
people sent in to me. 


Dog Napping

Thanks very much indeed to several people, who have asked if we could talk 
about the subject of dog napping. I don’t know if it’s a problem locally, but 
it was prompted by an interview that Bruce Forsyth gave the other day about his 
daughter losing her dog or was it two dogs. Both dogs were dog napped and it’s 
touched a nerve. Many people feel very sad about this and it’s an awful thing. 
I didn’t actually see the interview itself, but I thought it sounded like a 
really emotional and disturbing interview. I don’t know if it’s going on 
locally, but it’s a subject that we will investigate and look into. 


Humber Bridge

I was saying a few weeks back about the Humber Bridge. I had a sit down by the 
Humber Bridge the other night. And as the sun went down, it was so peaceful and 
beautiful down there, especially on these mild evenings. You just look at the 
wonderful structure of the bridge. It’s so delicate that it’s hard to believe 
it’s such a feat of engineering. And of course it’s twenty-five years since the 
bridge was built. We’re looking for your pictures at the moment and any 
memories of the bridge when it was being built. Get in touch with me on that 
one. 

It’s coming up to the 25th birthday and there’s that big concert at the Humber 
Bridge Country Park there. Of course Katherine Jenkins will be performing. It 
might be only three and a half years since I moved here, but I’ve never tired 
of seeing that bridge. It’s absolutely wonderful. I would be banging on the 
door of the bridge master – if he was talking to me that is after all those 
interviews recently about bridge tolls! – to go up to one of the towers, (if I 
could stand the height). Of course, I’m sure lots of you know I’m not very good 
with heights, but it would be a marvellous view wouldn’t it?


Sport Relief

Don’t forget we need your help and support for Sport Relief. You might have 
read about it and heard about it on the TV. Well, listen out on Monday for more 
details, when Sport Relief will be well and truly launched for 2006. 


Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good afternoon. Join me for 
Thursday’s Look North tonight at the usual time of half past six. If there’s 
anyone you know, who’s not signed up to the Levy Letter and you think they 
would like one, then point them in the direction of either one of the two 
addresses at the bottom of the page and get them to sign up. They’ll get their 
first Levy Letter tomorrow. 

Take care, bye

Peter
