LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT

Good Afternoon one and all...

So, we've had the last bank holiday before Christmas... Not exactly a morale-booster, is it?

Don't know about you but I feel like, yet again, we've missed out on summer. Yes, we had a sunny time back in July but then August was a complete wash-out. I feel cheated.

And, what's more, Manali has just wondered in telling me about her lovely holiday in the Spanish sunshine. Sunny and hot apparently. I'm really pleased for her, obviously.

Now, the programme:

Is Boris' road-works licence actually reducing London's road-works?... What will the General Medical Council make of the doctor who admitted cutting the lip of a rugby player so he could be substituted?... Have you heard about the council worker who claimed sick pay while boasting about how he was shaving time off his 100m personal best?... How many flowers does it an Olympic meadow make?... And we speak to the girl who, having recorded a single to raise money for a cancer charity after her mother died, has now recorded an album.

Plus: if you're a fan of the staff at the fictional London police-station, Sun Hill, tune in as we say goodbye to the 'Bill' after 27 years on the box.

We'll see you at six,

Ben & Lucy

LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT

Good Afternoon to you...

I'm not happy. I know I should be - what the bank holiday weekend looming - but that's the reason I'm not happy. All week the weather forecast for the long weekend has, at the very least, said 'sunny intervals' but looking at one website now it's saying light rain on Saturday and Sunday. I'm hoping I've picked a duff website and Robin will put us (and the website) right later on.

Not that Charlene - on duty with me this evening - will care that much, as she's heading off to sunnier climes for a two week holiday tomorrow. I know 'jealousy' is an ugly emotion. I'm feeling very ugly right now. (And before Ken the editor comes up with a funny reply, I've already gone through them. Twice.)

Now, this evening's programme;

We've got (not necessarily in this order):

A sham marriage... The man who sold the house that wasn't his... The 7/7 bomber's widow hears whether she'll get more legal aid... The fire-fighters carry on talking... The single-minded determination of a synchronised swimmer...and news about Whoopi Goldberg and her "Sister Act" in the West End.

Mr King will also be hear to talk about two of the big movies hitting London's cinemas this weekend and, as promised, Robin will talk us through the weather.

Okay - get the teas in.

See you at six,

Ben & Charlene

LONDON TONIGHT

Good Afternoon to you

Hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend.

We're all having a cup of tea at the moment (courtesy of one of our producers, George) and for those that like them, I brought in a couple of boxes of chocolate fingers. Have to say, they've proved to be rather popular. I could barely hear what the our programme editor, Hannah, was saying in the meeting above Lucy chomping away. I have to confess that I'm quite partial too; the problem however is that one is never enough. I've had a fistful already.

Now the programme...

We've got 'A Medical miracle'... 'Justice for Gem Thieves... Hanging basket cutbacks'... 'How many fire-fighters does it take to mend a lift?'... 'The Stoics of Stevenage'... 'Marley & Marley'... and 'The Celebrities Have Landed'.

Got to go - we're getting dangerously close to the last chocolate fingers.

See you at six,

Ben & Lucy
