LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT: Fri 27th Oct

Hello.

There's a new frontline in the fight against knife culture.It's at one of our busiest stations and it involves scanning passengers using a metal detector.But you don't have to go through it, so just how useful is it going to be?

A notorious bottleneck in Surrey is heading for a cure.Any driver caught in tailbacks on the A3 in Hindhead will welcome the plan, which involves digging a tunnel in a scheme costing more than 300 million.It'll cut through National Trust land, but trust bosses say they have to be pragmatic and have given the plan their blessing.

How many of you dreamt of becoming an astronaut when you grew up?How many of you still dream?Well, we talk to the man whose dream came true: London astronaut Nick Patrick.He joins us from Houston, where he's preparing for his mission on board the Space Shuttle in December. Some pop stars never grow old - they don't even fade away.Like Little Jimmy Osmond: all grown up and talking to us live in the studio about music, life and touring with other 70's legends.

And keeping to the theme of looking back.Where we you in 1932?Here are a few things to jog your memory:The average cost of a house in Britain was 540 The BBC starts a regular television service West Ham suffer a run of defeats that won't be repeated until...right now.Yep, Alan Pardew's men have lost eight on the trot - and he's the bookies' favourite to be the first Premiership manager to part company with his club this season..they're even taking bets on it happening within hours of Sunday's game against Blackburn, if the Hammers make it nine in. So, with all that, Upton Park just has to be our football focus tonight.
