Afternoon,
We've a packed show tonight to get you in the mood for a long weekend....
First off, the great getaway that always goes hand in hand with a bank holiday. We'll be keeping an eye on how everything is running on the roads, rail and in the air....
The jams, the queues, the delays. Makes you wonder why we bother sometimes, and tonight we're asking how many people ARE. Have recent events at the airports put you off going anywhere ? Are you planning to hole up at home or jet off somewhere exotic. Tell us your plans.
If you ARE staying in London you won't be short of some pretty grisly company. It's a well known fact that there are more rats in the capital than people and the numbers are growing and growing...but now so are the rats. Get ready for the super-sized rodent. Where's that pied piper when you need him ? Maybe our very own Piers Hopkirk will step in with his penny whistle as he reports on this worrying trend.
Also...when you make an appointment with your doctor, do you turn up ? If the honest answer is no then you are not alone. Doctors are not happy with how often their patients are no-shows and are calling for changes.
Showbiz-wise our cup runneth over. We've James King in the studio with a run down of the latest movie releases, Steve Hargrave at The Reading Festival with an assortment of musical types, David Soul and Nick Moran in the studio to talk about their new film....AND our usual Friday night roundup of things to get up to over the weekend.
After that we'll all need a lie down - good job there are three days off coming up!
See you at 6.
Tamzin and Willsy
