Good afternoon.
Katie is back and she wasn't in Jamaica so she is OK and has come back at a time of her own choosing.
There was a concern that Chrissie's weather forecast could make her wish she had stayed where she was but she has cried "Nonsense" to that and can't wait to get to grips with what we have for you tonight. Can't blame her, given what we've got.
The killer of headmaster Philip Lawrence is due to be released shortly having served 12 years for the man's murder. The Home Office wanted him sent back to Italy from whence he hailed. But, they were warned, that would infringe his human rights. And Philip's, you might ask? And Mrs. Lawrence's? Ben investigates and we'll be asking for your views.
Camilla Batmanghelidjh has a crazy name and wears crazy head-gear. But she is also the founder of "Kids Company", a charity many think does more to keep kids on the straight and narrow than many others. Given what happened to Philip Lawrence and what has happened to getting on for 20 kids so far this year, her work is vital. Literally.
But she is running out of cash and energy. She'll tell us of her problems live on the show.
I don't think she'll copy the woman with a brain tumour who is launching a charity dating agency to raise a million before the ghastly growth takes her life.
But who knows.
Our education administrators who, of course, also have some influence on how our children turn out, show no signs of holding back on their remarkable displays of insensitivity and crassness: tonight Emma has the example of Potters Bar and a school closure leading to the moving of kids to another school.... without enough classrooms.
It would be "a cracker" were it not to do with the educational prospects of yet more of London's children.
And Black Gold on The Buses: Ken's Venezuelan oil bonanza has gushed all over some Oyster cards held by the less well off: Phil is our answer to Red Adair.
See you at 6!
Alastair & Katie
