Maz if it's the local news program then it will be different in every county. In wales the BBC news is Wales Tonight , Kent has South East Today London is just BBC London but you can watch local news footage on the BBC websit from anywhere in the world. Just go to the news section and look gor England on the left of the page, then choose 'Where I Live' from the drop down menu and there are video links near it. I'll have a look when I get back in later.

In Taunton we can either get Spotlight, which comes from Plymouth studios or Points West, from Bristol. Where I'm sitting I am watching Spotlight, is that your Dad now Maz? If I go up to the bedroom I can watch Points West. Vivienne

Thanks Vivienne.. He now has a hernia poking out of it which they can not do anything with.. Such a loss... He was such a big strong man 5 years ago, now he cant even bend to do his own shoe laces up, as there is nothing to protect his heart! As he said.. all he ever wanted from them was an apology!.. Never got it though! Maz x :O(

Hi Maz, just seen your thread for the first time. I saw your father this evening on Spotlight! Good grief, I didn't know he was your Dad. It's weird, because when they said where he lived I thought of you. Poor man, not much to ask for, an apology, is it? I saw the bit you referred to and, OK it was a bit unusual, but I also found it fascinating. Having said that, it then made me realise just how much we all take for granted in having something as fundamental as a ribcage. Best wishes to your parents. x
