Hello and good afternoon!
September limps in, with a spit of rain on an over-cast day: we'll take that as a challenge to lift your spirits and gear you up for a great weekend!
Tamzin and Alastair hope you'll be with us at 6 and there are lots of good reasons for you keep the date.
We're kicking off with an extraordinary, international story of deceit and destruction.
A gang, targetting up-market cars, has been busted by the Met. We've terrific helecopter shots of the swoop on the crew that hit on Mercs and Beemers and, within hours, allegedly stripped them down to parts and crushed what remained. Their market was north Africa! It is a fascinating story and a costly crime brought to an abrupt end.
Ben is the man with the motors.
More on the West Ham story that started yesterday with the slightly mysterious purchase of two Argentine internationals and moved, today, to the Stock Exchange amid hot speculation that the Hammers are coming under the hammer! Willsy has the latest live from Upton Park.
Troubled by stray cats or urban foxes in your garden? Chessington Zoo has a weird answer that will work but may leave you with your nose turned up, as Phil will explain!!!
Tamzin has crafted another comprehensive list of What Not to Miss this weekend and James is with us taking a look at Michael Douglas in The Sentinel and Nicholas Cage in the remake of the Wicker Man.
And last, but by no means least, a wonderful story about a man, on the other side of the world, who has paid what we think it a unique tribute to our Mayor.
Unique?? If you don't think so, we want to hear from you but you'll have to watch first to see what we're getting at.
So, see you at 6!
