London Tonight: Friday September 15th

Hi. Sorry we are a little later than normal but we had a two minutes silence for West Ham's result last night and it lasted longer than it should have.
Our Ken is still in mourning but the rest of us keep saying First Leg. First Leg.....

Now tonight a fascinating story that could affect us all. The problem of affordable housing is real and immediate. It has to be solved and, inevitably, we're all going to have to help.
So, we looked at Westminster's ingenious solution: offer people living in Council Houses that are now too big for them a chance - and a bit of a sweetener - to move out to a smaller place and let the needy in.
It sounded a good idea and it turned into a brilliant idea. But Westminster are running out of cash for the sweeteners. So will it stop? Will others find the money to have a go? Will the Mayor or the Government step in to keep it going?
Phil has been exploring.

We all know we have a drug problem in London and we are all angry that it is wrecking so many young lives. But we are shocked to discover how many young youngsters, 9-12, who are involved not only as users but also as dealers. Glen has been looking at the worrying numbers.

Daddy Cool is the latest retro musical, a tribute to the work of 70s stars BONEY M. (Romilly says she remembers all the words and Alastair says he can even remember dancing to them). Stars of the West End show, Javine (rear of the Year) and Harvey (So Solid Crew) are with us!!!!

Plus we'll be talking to James about The Queen, Helen Mirren's masterpiece, and Talladega Nights which raises a few laughs...

The weather, the papers, and the rest of the news: all life is here on your way to a well earned weekend break.

See you at 6!
