London Tonight Tonight Monday 5th November

Afternoon everyone -

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
But then, for some reason,
I'm quite bored of the season,
So you can stick all that firework rot.

Okay, so it's not great but hey, we're busy... Probably best we get on with this evening's run down. Let's start with something light.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne say they haven't got room for all the furniture, art and memorabilia round their vast houses - so they're auctioning some of it off. Now, if you or I had to get rid of all the clutter sitting round our house, we might have a car boot sale, cross our fingers, and perhaps raise enough for a pint down the pub. Sharon and Ozzy, one imagines, are setting their sights a little higher. Not that we're bitter. They are, after all, giving some of the proceeds to charity. Anyway, Jasmine's been for a nosey-poke round some of the stuff going under the hammer. (Hope it's not breakable.... geddit?)

Phil Bayles meanwhile has been down to meet Harry Potter, or as he prefers to be called, Daniel Radcliffe. He's starring in a new ITV drama based on a true story about a young soldier - 17 year old Jack Kipling - who was told he couldn't fight in the First World War because his eyesight wasn't good enough. But then his father - that would be Rudyard Kipling (yes, him) - arranged for him to fight anyway. Imagine how he felt when his son died on the battlefield. The whole story is also being told in a new exhibition at the War Museum.

Three more news stories - Marcus Powell will have the latest on Barry George's second appeal against his conviction for the murder of Jill Dando, and we'll also be reporting live from Italy on the murder of Croydon student, Meredith Kercher.
And number three - our talking point this evening. Get ready to e-mail and text...  Two Police Community Support Officers - on duty in a park in Merton - spot a man being assaulted.
What do they do? Call for help.
What else? Wait for the help to turn up.

Is that enough? It's what they're trained for.

 

Who's side are you on? Tell us at SIX.

 

See you then,

Ben & Emma
