Hello and welcome to the start of another week of London Tonight!
Great excitement from the Boss this morning: he saw the Harry Potter team filming at King's Cross at the weekend: trains and movies, just two of his "things" !
Greater excitement as we have Ron Weasley and his mum on the programme - NOT in their Harry Potter roles but as the stars of a new movie DRIVING LESSONS. Julie Waters and Rupert Grint have been talking to Steve Hargrave.
Nothing magical these days about fingerprints: compared to DNA they are almost old-hat in the world of forensics. Nevertheless, there was some debate, resulting in both alarm and support, when we discovered kids at Holland Park School are to have their fingerprints scanned on arrival. It is not a crime-busting initiative, rather a C21st way of taking the register! Sensible or an invasion of the youngsters' privacy? Your thoughts will be asked for after you've heard Piers' report.
Also tonight, extra work for street sweepers or a great new adventure for the capital's information hungry citizens? The latest "freebie" has hit the streets - bringing to four the number of give-away papers being thrust in your direction -morning, noon and night. Nick Ferrari, who nearly edited a London paper, gives us his views.
Culture Secretary and Dulwich MP Tessa Jowell is in Beijing to see what the 2012 team can learn from the inscrutable Chinese. Good idea, said some of the team: another Ministerial junket, said others! You decide when you've heard from Phil.
And Green Living: our property slot tonight takes a look at the latest ideas for living Green, saving the Planet and cutting back on those nasty carbon emissions. It's going to be a theme all week so stayed tuned and save the world from damaging climate change!
Chrissie will have tonight and tomorrow's micro climate details in her forecast so best you be there.
We will!
A & K
