It's a very nice tree Yeah. Yeah so we will feel a bit festive but really. The name is about children and that warm fuzzy feeling of children saying now no I don't want play out got my computer get you know I think yes we were talking about how you prepare for Young People's expectations of electron in the program Oh I think really if you're trying to be tapped and plastic free as lots of us try to and marry that up against the expectations never tried to do that.

Skateboarding Yes Oh I have to see not what else. I can have another look but. The good thing that could thing about this program however is that none of the animals on the show has a vote. And thus although I know that some animals do have political pressure preferences I know people who told me I don't get how that particular parody change I see them in the teddy that there is actually you know there is this No there's no actual photo involved in this you can't win somebodies boat by showing to me a dog Ok I knew that I knew what it said it's got people like Shane Richie Jo Brand Susan Calman who I happen to know I was a catch she was kind of the Genie even though he wanted to leave Yes she likes Kevin off strictly in cats. And media won't you and Michelle now is interested just trying to work out what Michelle Rhee saw which might have this and that as a team probably got stick and sex didn't I mean she's got one of his dogs that goes in your handbag and unnecessarily small dog and accessory don't I don't know I'm going to guess it's probably elephants or something like that anyway these are these animal lovers and they're talking about pets and of course this is the chance to show loads of really really funny clips involving Pat's thank you card so if that's the kind of thing that you like then you like it I imagine Channel 58 o'clock this evening what about some are oh yes well hell it's a Strictly Come Dancing semifinal which we cannot ignore Will we nor apparel because people will be talking about it now I know that there are a lot of people who have been less than a Navid with this particular series is strictly Why is that is that the caliber of the celebrities the partnership's the level of scandal and gossip why not hasn't been much comes and goes I know it isn't as if people want more scandal so I don't know what I didn't think so I think it's just I think some of the judges. Aged to be talking up some of the some of the some of the celebrity dances in favor of others if you feel I mean Ok I'm sure that Snow says that speed was percent. Because you know what's going on and off we went I'm not mean enough it said with the possible exception of Craig who can be quite Speaking to see what is he maybe he can write you break down in tea is if he feels like it so we've got em up all 10 that honey off the stand is we've got Kelvin Flecha who's also said style wasn't he has not sight and smile Have you noticed that by how he smiles he said there's a corner of his mask going up or down most mysterious I'm sure there's Mr Mann book about becoming Prime c.

And so Kyra you. Know that that was not my favorite thing I got that Asian flu right off the rails self to about the 1st episode Elizabeth is missing Well the interesting thing about this is course is star as Glenda Jackson. Jackson twice Academy of wood when she gave up all the acting didn't she to go into politics that's right was the m.p. You set for Cambridge or someone I don't like that for some time you know committed to politics and she's making a return to screen after 27 years and I know she I think she might have recently played with it some of my King Lear on stage or Ok Yes Yes That sounds of an era where she she won for women in love and when everybody was running around naked Well not the not obviously not the cinema goes but the people on screen with a. Touch of Class she she won her 2nd Oscar for that this is based on a it's a mystery based on a bestselling novel by and Healy and more which who is the part that. Randy Jackson plays. Finds out her best friend Elizabeth has gone missing and she wants to if she wants to try and track her down however. She is suffering from sort of dementia like sickness. Says she wants to make sure she can get to the bottom of her friends disappearance but will she get.

Lorry to blame for that blocking between need a market junction 51 to junction 52 so back as far as market now and just to update you on that issue you don't need to culture. Along the northbound side of the 12 heading up towards it straight to the scene of an accident just before you get towards the football stadium there are junctions so the queues there all the way back down as far.
