London Tonight Tonight: Friday 31st August

Hello, hello, hello to you.

Don't know what your weekend holds - it could well be work - but let's hope the sun shines. It's not rained for days and, truth to tell, we're getting used to it.

In fact , if you haven't got your weekend plans sorted - even more reason to watch the programme. Not only will we have our guide to the weekend wonders - 'What Not to Miss' - Mr King will also be here to look at a couple of the big movies you can take in.

Before all that though, a couple of dreadful stories for us to tell. A group of children have been convicted of manslaughter today after they stoned a man to death as he played cricket with his son in Erith. Unprovoked. Inexplicable. While Ronke Phillips has all the details on the death of Ernest Norton, Marcus Powell has been to the town to see what it's like, to try and understand the feelings there. It all makes for extraordinary, enlightening viewing.

And, sadly, there is more sadness from Newham. A 17 year old lad was stabbed to death last night. Tamsin Roberts will have the latest on the police investigation from there.

Meanwhile Phil Bayles looks back on 20 years of the Docklands Light Railway... and young Oliver Williams rounds off our week of reports from some of our younger viewers with his take on the Stansted Airport expansion row... PLUS there'll be more from the world of entertainment, with Steve Hargrave chatting with South London band, Athlete.

So, start your weekend with all of us. ITV1. At six.

See you then.
