90—year—old sybil has never lost her love of music, and now she has rediscovered her passion for performing. after decades, she was inspired to return to the piano by listening to volunteer aaliyah playing for residents. well, ithought, what lovely music that is. i wish i could have kept on with my piano lessons. playing like that, i'd be able to be happy in this home. and i'd make all the other people happy, and they'd all come for a singsong. since then, the pair have become quite the double act. even losing her eyesight hasn't stopped sybil patiently practising to relearn all the notes. never give up in life, never. keep going.

if you give up, you've had it. what's it like when the two of you are playing together? oh, it's happiness — sheer happiness. 17—year—old aaliyah has been working at the care home as a volunteer while studying social care at college. despite their 73—year age gap, she and sybil have struck up quite a bond. the first time she ever played, i didn't expect her to come and play the piano. i thought she'd just press a few notes. and we were sat there for hours playing it. she loved it. i've never actually played with another person on the piano. i've always had someone next me when i'm playing, but never with someone like her. she really likes it, and i like to see how happy it makes her. the knife and fork to the left if you want... sybil only moved in a few months ago. staff at the care home tell me she settled in much better since playing music again. you've got a cup of tea here, sybil, if you want it.

she was quite distressed when she first came in, i but since she started the music and playing piano again, - she's much calmer. no—one knew that sybil could play the piano, i and the fact that she had gone blind several years ago — - it's just a beautiful story, | and the joy on sybil's face when she's playing isjust amazing. when she completes her studies, aaliyah is hoping to work in the care home permanently. no doubt there will be plenty more performances to come. juliette phillips, bbc news. faye tozer is best known as a member of the squeaky clean pop group steps but she's embracing her darker side for her latest project. faye's playing the fur—coat—loving baddie cruella di vil in a stage version of "101 dalmatians — the musical". kirsteen o'sullivan went to meet her. # tragedy # when you lose control and you got no soul

# it's tragedy. ..# their upbeat dance tracks are iconic, and now steps' faye tozer is playing the lead in 101 dalmatians: the musical — none other than cruella de vil. i have had that rage and wickedness on stage before, and i feel like she's going to be a heightened extension of that, i literally can't wait to get my teeth into her. it's so lovely to do a role that is polar opposite to what people see me in as usual. faye has enjoyed a career spanning stage and screen. she says she loves theatre and is embracing the ageing process. there was a gap in my career, i think, where your�*e too old to be the princess and you're too young to really morph into the next character — the mother or whatever. i'm really finding joy in the character roles that i am being offered these days. faye is a busy mum, and being a performer often means time on the road away

from herfamily, something she says is simply par for the course. i'm not the only type ofjob that works away from home. you know, we've got our people in the army, on the rigs, everybody who has to work away. and i think it's a really good example to set your children that you're hard—working and you love yourjob. the 101 dalmatians musical arrives at the marlowe theatre this summer, and faye can't wait to perform in kent. i've done a few shows here. i did singing in the rain, 42nd street. i'm a big fan of canterbury anyway. i've got my favourite restaurants around, i know where i'm going to be staying, so i'm really excited to come back. and canine lovers in the audience are in for a treat. we are actually touring with a real live dalmatian puppy. the thing is going to get smothered. this is the bestjob ever. so you've got a little puppy coming onto it with you? yes. where is it going to sleep? in my bed — i'm going to steal it. 101 dalmatians arrives

at the marlowe theatre from 16 to 20 july. kirsteen o'sullivan, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello. this is probably not the sort of weather you'd hope for in a bank holiday weekend. yes, it's been warm when the sun was out, but we have seen a lot of showers, heavy thundery downpours, really bringing a soaking in a short space of time. this was the radar picture from earlier on. you can see all those thunderstorms dancing away across england heading up into southern scotland. but gradually, overnight, we're going to see those tending to fade away for most areas, some clearer spells for england and wales, but more cloud and still some wetter weather as you move further north, that will keep temperatures a bit higher. but where we have the clearer skies, where the south temperatures could dip away to seven or eight degrees. there could be some early sunshine, though, for central and eastern parts of england. and we'll continue to see some sunshine on bank holiday monday. but there will be more

showers around as well. and quickly, the cloud will build up as temperatures rise. that will lead to a scattering of showers developing. but the focus for the heavy thundery ones. this is more towards northern and eastern parts of scotland, bringing the risk of some travel disruption and some local flooding. it will be warm in the sunshine when it's out and typical temperatures are going to be 16 or 17 degrees. one area of low pressure that's bringing all the showers at the moment will be replaced by another one. this one coming in from the atlantic and sort of keeping the unsettled theme going into tuesday and beyond. so we've got more cloud coming in from the west that's going to bring with it the showery outbreaks of rain. it'll get wetter later in northern england, but this time the driest weather may well be across the north east of scotland with some sunshine here for much of the day. typical temperatures, again, 16 or 17 degrees. but there is some wet weather around on tuesday and that will continue into wednesday. that area of low pressure pushing its way across the uk right in the middle of the low. this is where we may well

have the wettest weather first thing on wednesday morning, but that wet weather will push down across england and wales, followed by some sunshine but maybe some heavy thundery showers for scotland. and this time the driest weather is likely to be across northern ireland and a northwesterly breeze this time and again. those temperatures not really changing much right the way through the weekend. in actualfact, those numbers are near what we'd expect at this time of the year. but a mixed week ahead. heavy showers, longer spells of rain, but signs of hope are later next week, higher pressure should turn it drier and brighter.
