In the South back in London preparing refreshments for the conclusion of his chat shark I'll be watching reruns of his shows on You Tube My 2 favorites to him interview Cilla Black Sabbath Yeah I remember that and Salvation Army commissioner Catherine Brownlow booth when she took him off for being a betting man absolutely classic yeah park here on the way after rates forget Daniel O'Donnell as well shortly after 9 o'clock this evening and this this isn't seasonal To be honest I see snow it's just the wrong season a little bit of sunshine for your Friday nights at the Beach Boys California Girls Boys California but very very sweet before 8 o'clock by the way this evening taking you to a tunnel of. A light bit of the theme of Christmas lights on the show this evening 17 sleeps to go by the way and if you are being rather outdone by your neighbors maybe they're doing the thing where they put loads of Christmas lights up and it's an open invitation to go around but the idea is you tonight charities why for doing that maybe you feel a little bit shamed into putting some Christmas lights up yourself maybe you maybe you're a Scrooge with the whole Christmas like thing think that too expensive too many bulbs change let me know Christmas likes the thing continues with the tunnel of light as a say on the way in the next 5 minutes or so however things like a lively in terms of the weather for the weekend get the very latest weather forecast for you dare and bet at the b.b.c. Weather Center hello Sir hello Mark you sound to me and you seem to me like the kind of guy that does go all out by the way with Christmas lights with. We have Christmas lights over both fireplaces we have a wreath on the door that has got some sparkly lights on it the plan is to get to some of the lanterns to go on the side of that in front of the front door and we haven't even bought the tree yet I've got to just go back to the 2 fireplaces that's you know present especially for this weekend. No we just moved house I say to 5 places in Italy so we do have 2 fireplaces and there we got 2 inglenook fireplaces Ok all right Ok I'm impressed with that let's talk about the weather there because as you say things are getting rather interesting are they not yeah we've had a fair bit of snow across the North West Midlands Today that's been one of the worst affected areas lots of school closures around Birmingham for example this morning what's happening overnight Actually Mark is that the bitterly cold wind is easing off a bit so the frost is going to become more widespread and it will be a colder night than it was last night but ice is going to be more of a concern I think for many following those snow showers they'll still be a few snow showers coming in through the night but there won't be as many They won't be as heavy Most of them coming through the Chessie gap into the Midlands but as we head through Saturday we're going to find the snow showers more likely across Cesure probably across Merseyside and into Lancashire possibly into southern parts of Cumbria as well so a slight shift in the position and we'll see some of those snow showers heading on to the penance too but otherwise a lot of dry weather it will be quite sunny it won't be as windy as today won't feel as cold so how cheaply not a bad day on Saturday but there's always a but isn't there Mark there's always a but things are going to go downhill for the 2nd half of the weekends because we're going to all the cold air in place and now we're going to see a weather system coming in from the Atlantic that initially has a lot of warm and wet air with it and then it cools off as it runs into the cold air so we've got the threat of more snow on Saturday night more particularly into Sunday morning I think particularly across the middle and again to North Maitland's perhaps up into Lancashire parts of Yorkshire across the East Anglia as well and widely in those sort of areas they could be 10 centimeters of snow on Sunday now further south and the snow will turn back to rain as it turns moderate to. And windy across southern most parts of England and temperatures way up to 8 degrees but obviously under those snowy areas and the far north of England it will be much much colder temps are struggling to get up to one or 2 degrees so we got a. Snow warning from the Met Office 10 centimeters could be more than that over some of the hills things start to gradually peter out in terms of the weight of the snow that's falling through the day on Sunday and then we can all take a breather on Tuesday it will be chilly but most places will be dry Ok. So for Sunday then just just to be clear we're more likely to settle the snow where is it most likely to settle so the Midlands North Madeline's more to clear across East Anglia and across Lancashire into parts of Yorkshire and link Ok we will keep you posted Daryn thank you for that leisure to fireplaces. Will that be a bit excess a wooden net Yeah well you know nice must. To Jags John Prescott and Darren to fire places but with the weather as I say we'll keep you post of course right through the weekend you got snow now by the way. Have share how you. a. Blizzard. Now and no amount in high enough to keep my sledge away from you it's almost quarter to 8. Don't forget after 8 o'clock this evening Michael Parkinson here on this show and also opening door number 8 on the advent calendar or thanks for the nominations by the way Nigel the taxi driver in Norfolk I live a number right Ok nice good to hear from you Thank you Ross who says I live at number 8 even named his road I won't name the road just just think I mean you might want visitors you might not anyways and Southend and I want to put into the jar of hearts that my gorgeous are now this is a real r.

Yeah I took my wife to say Diana Ross live for her 21st birthday and I was 40 years ago she was telling it anyway most going to say that was that I only met Mohsen I was this way it was me that was how many years ago or say Yeah Ok fine good glossing over. Happy Days never let's say Steve Tunnel of Love I wonder how many there are a new earth like to a common thing well no I think this is unique and the anytime we find that longer is one in Japan so is the longest is $45.00 metres long which is about 50 feet in old money and. It's been incredibly popular Well I've been looking enough to stand a mule turn lovelife just been looking back at my pages 26 Nov 26th 18 Ok we would do a little bit of Christmas shopping in Norwich and we thought last Stace took a little selfie of ourselves in that could you tell me where I've been that you've been lots more to describe what it's actually like well it is a tunnel obviously a site 45 metres long it's about 6 metres tall so you can drive a car through if you wanted to people and all I have to supply is don't do that but it's a massive And the thing that really struck people I think is you walk in eat and the number of people are taken selfies is incredible. The coal the me is the Northern Lights is supposed to feel like you're in the Aurora Borealis. Which was brilliantly well but then we started to add little bits to it so there's a shooting star is one bit where Santa's sleigh flies through and there's a sort of ones that you get the OSs we put one in this year. Because the forum which is nearby is got a Lego exhibition so one is if you can imagine there's these all these colored blocks coming down to build a Lego model. And as a science 12 feet tall 45 metres long he's enormous I was people love having their picture taken and yeah it is something very captivating about how just looking hey you've got a solid miles of cable yes 50000 sorry 67000 l.e.d. Lights I mean this must be an operation to put together a and then yes once again by the let you go full well early days they let you build not too bad but each of those bulbs is individually programmable every single one of them yet so you could write a computer program to be honest we didn't quite get it right the 1st year which is last year I mean it was good we saw the data designing on a computer which is a flat screen but when we didn't quite realize this when you bend it into a tunnel the pitches at the top of your screen bend forward is now at the bottom. So if you look carefully last year you know I have seen a reindeer upside down but not many people did know I mean to be honest. I'm old wine to be honest before. I had to fight so what's the reaction of pay must be great to stand there and just watch people as you say go in there and take selfies and everything the reaction of people in this is incredible you know children particularly but all ages we run a program in 'd the city with. Host volunteers so we got about 50 people who volunteer on a regular basis to host and they had to help people and with those guys talking to people on the streets even during the day when it isn't quite as good as at night obviously people are travelling from London and beyond to come and see it we had some visitors who had come over from Australia they read story online jump on to try and come up and just spend you know half an hour in the tunnel of light so you know we have got the figures for this year but last year we know that we had $200000.00 extra people in that area of the City 'd 'd in December just to say Wow And also plan for next year we'll be back even longer. It will be back it won't be long but it will have. What we do. Designed. You see. So be back next week.
