with russia. that is it from me, fiona bruce will begin at ten o'clock with the news. first anne marie tasker and kofi smiles look back at the highlights of hull 2017 and find out what impact this year long festival of arts and culture has had on the city. hello and welcome to hull, britain's city of culture as we review 12 months of cracking events. that's right, it's been an absolutely phenomenal year. we have so much to look back on. across four seasons, hull took art out of galleries and theatres and into the streets. 365 days of events changed the way the city has been seen by the rest of the world. the year has gone by

been so quick, i cannot believe it's almost over, and i hope these guys get to stay. this is the latest installation for 2017 called where do we go from here. these robot arms brought out of retirement to do some dancing here in the city of culture. and it sort of mirrors the start of the back in january when the whole of the city centre was filled with lights and sounds. that was amazing that was how we started this evening, made in hull. crowd: eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

2017 really did start with a bang. with three and a half tonnes of fireworks. and made in hull, a spectacular light show telling the story of the city and its people. what do you think to this unbelievable display. i thought it was amazing. absolutely fabulous. i've got family in canada and they're watching it live now. i'm from london and i think if this was in london... the reaction you get is absolutely fantastic. it's amazing. fantastic, i thought it was really very moving, very emotional. i am from brazil and i spent two new years in copacabana and it's the same quality here. it's amazing. i am so proud of hull. it's absolutely amazing. i think it will launch a really positive year. and the centrepiece of a season called

made in hull, something that was. a huge wind turbine blade handmade and the city's siemens factory. an incredible 75 metres long and to put that into some perspective i am about six foot so i would fit along this 41 times. that's a lot of kofi. getting it in was a big job. 50 lamp posts, traffic lights and barriers were taken down for its four hourjourney from factory to city centre. and it drw in the crowds, one in five and it drew in the crowds, one in five people who came to see it were from outside hull and east yorkshire. caroline quentin and mark addy starred in the world premiere of the hypocrite. i've spent the last two days running round inside a cardboard box which represents

a commode for reasons too complicated to go into. the play was by award winning hull born writer richard bean and told the story of hull's role in the start of the english civil war. shutting the city's gate on the king. who will make the first advance? i'm really looking forward to the people of hull seeing this play. there's so much great stuff in it. some of the jokes, they are so deeply entrenched in the culture here, they are going to love it. upon your conscience! the show had the theatre's biggest cast, biggest set and spectacular special effects and it won a new audience, one third of them had never been to this theatre before. february brought another world premiere. 6000 pipes, written by britain's most popular living composer, sir karljenkins. music: starman by david bowie.

weeks later the orchestra made way for one of david bowie's old bandmates, the spider from mars woody woodmansey. the last surviving member of the band from hull performed the rise and fall of ziggy stardust album live and in full for the first time ever. it is somewhere that bowie wanted to play himself. so to come back now, to hull the city of culture is amazing. made in hull also celebrated pioneering

women of the city of culture. from the world's first woman conductor to the first women's world boxing champion barbara buttrick. i think all this talk about girls not boxing is old—fashioned. girls are not the delicate flowers they used to be and anyhow my boyfriend doesn't mind. art's original bad girl from her performance art collective and one of hull's most famous daughters, maureen lipman, on inspiring the next generation. if there's one kid out there watching who thinks, if that white—haired woman with spectacles can be on telly, so can i. and even if you are not famous and from hull you could pretend to be, as photography shows hollywood icons letting people take on the favourite film roles. and other ways to get involved, people choosing coloured filters for flats as part of this community project, called i wish to communicate with you. i think is brilliant, it makes you feel good that you are part of the city of culture. by march nine out of ten people in hull had been to

a city of culture event and with 60 community projects in 2017 many we re even taking part. that was one of the community projects put together by people from hull. for people from hull. really a great way to get everyone involved. the woman who masterminded it is sharon darley. before 2017 some people might have thought art is not for me, is just for the cultural elite. has this project changed that. yes! in what ways, what have you seen. the whole year has changed that, the project we were involved with definitely helped oil the wheels. what changes have you seen, explain to people who don't know hull, the problems in the estate where you started that work. lots of the usual inner—city challenges, lack of employment, lack of prospects. lack of aspiration. sometimes. although i like to say that i work with a really creative, innovative, funny community.

do you think 2017 has drawn that out. i think so and it doesn't take a lot. how can you keep these things going for the people who might not have the time or the money to go to theatre or the art gallery. i'm going to say the l word, legacy. this year is a beautiful launch pad. it is now up to us to keep it going and going and make it, if it is around for a long time, the more chance you've got of seeing stuff. sharon, thank you so much. and so many more community events stretching into season two called roots and routes.

my favourite was seeing katy perry at big weekend, she was for me one of the highlights of season two. season two looked to hull's place in the world. and you don't get much more global than katy perry. dozens of stellar pop acts came to burton constable near hull for radio 1's big weekend. in a festival environment just outside of hull is crazy. it is so cool. to have this on your doorstep. we keep running into people we know. it is like all the city in a big place. it's great. just from the crowd you can always tell what type of energy is out there and it sounds like people really appreciate the music, it seems like a real freedom here. music should be somewhere where people can come together no matter

what background you are from. we need music to connect and i don't think that should ever be something people are afraid to come together for. we saw stormzy earlier. are you a grime fan? miz i'm interested in that scene and he's one of the best. i saw little nicks earlier, they are trained, they are in the dressing i’ooiti trained, they are in the dressing room next to mine and their vocal warm—ups were quite impressive. i'm going to stay at the french level, below that. but that was not the only festival in town. north atlantic flags celebrated hull's historic ties to

scandinavia and was created by the musicianjohn scandinavia and was created by the musician john ground. hull is a place that has been on my radar for some time, some of the artists i admire have connections of hull. i think you will see what hull has two off and also things from the north atlantic, it is quite scandinavian. another event with sound at its heart, height of the reads as a sonicjourney heart, height of the reads as a sonic journey across the heart, height of the reads as a sonicjourney across the iconic humber bridge. the swan spend their necks backwards to see god. then the magnetism of the blue space. listening through headphones they are hearing a piece of work which combines poetry with the sound of the bridges and sways in the wind. 0pera north's chorus and orchestra married with sound recordings of the bridge itself. look up. and a hull

schoolgirl who guided the audience. it will be weird hearing myself but it will be pretty cool. australian company circe brought circles, dance and sound to a hull graveyard. horse, horse, my kingdom for a horse! and more world-class theatre with matt fresia in richard iii by shakespeare. amity formed back to playing a deformed characterfor the first time in britain, which is extraordinary that it should be the first but exciting that i get to do it. thousands came to see the weeping window poppies from the tower of london. and revealed in more ways than one more than 3000 people from around the world who took part in sea of hull. in april

they saw the final artwork unveiled in the gallery. i'm about there. you have only one life, just livid. i don't care if anyone sees me or not. # i've got the eye of the tiger # i've got the eye of the tiger # dancing through the fire #. is big weekend was a highlight of season is big weekend was a highlight of season two it was the perfect warm up season two it was the perfect warm upfora season two it was the perfect warm up for a season of festivals in the city of culture. we are now halfway through the year and it is clear that hull is getting pretty good at putting an unexpected, innovative and exciting events like this installation and that that is changing perceptions of the city. it was not that long ago when hull was voted britain's most rubbish town but if you look in the papers today you will see that is no longer the case and whether some are packed full of events to come things got better and better. # what are you thinking? #.

summer was a season of festivals. more than 100 local bands at the humber street set. we are sitting on an amazing wealth of talent in this region and it is about time that the rest of the country was aware of that. the tenth annual freedom festival with a lecture from former united nations secretary—general kofi ayn rand. art and cultic is very much part of life. it brings people together, they may not understand what the artist is saying that they will stop and look at it and question something within themselves. the city's airfare

children's literature festival, the big malarkey. they all live at number 41 fairfield rd and their next—door neighbour is nigel mcnulty, a grizzly bear. and hull was even on show at the world's largest arts festival, the edinburgh fringe. we are representing hull, the uk city of culture this year. the proms came outside london for the first time in more than 80 yea rs. the first time in more than 80 years. and hull hosted the first ever uk pride parade marking 50 yea rs ever uk pride parade marking 50 years since the partial to criminalisation of former sexuality. after a ll criminalisation of former sexuality. after all these years. as part of lg bt 50 after all these years. as part of lgbt 50 radioed to brought the i feel love to town. of the reflective

ever. another trade for lovers of visual art was hull portrait of a city. every shot taken by world renowned photographers martin park and bolivia after in the city of culture. but the contemporary art was not confined to galleries, it took over the streets of the city with huge installations like flow and a hall for hull. and mythical mystical beast is roamed the streets for the land of green ginger and leashed parade. it took charge out to the communities of the city. fantastic, well worth the wait, i wa nt to fantastic, well worth the wait, i want to see it again. i didn't know what to expect, i didn't know it would be like that. itjust shows with the amount of people who are

weather pattern will change, because ofa weather pattern will change, because of a change in the position of the jet stream. right now and over the next few days the jet stream will be in this sort of position, steering to the north of the uk, keeps the colder at bay and it keeps us on this matter. atlantic winds heading oui’ this matter. atlantic winds heading our way and this matter. atlantic winds heading ourway and bringing this matter. atlantic winds heading our way and bringing a lot of cloud as we have seen over the past few days around the top of that area of high pressure, we will probably see more rain arriving from northern areas in the next few days as the weather front gets a bit closer. and that probably starts on saturday with rain arriving across the north and west of scotland, ahead of it with stronger winds we may see more stjohn in scotland and northern ireland, some glimpses of sunshine that the south but on the whole a cloudy day, mild, a stronger breeze, to be just cloudy day, mild, a stronger breeze, to bejust turn— cloudy day, mild, a stronger breeze, to be just turn— 12 degrees. as we had overnight we still have those west — south—westerly winds, still a lot of cloud, less mist and fog on

the hills because the wind is a little stronger, that rain having moved to south begins to move north again because there's a wave on the weather front which will alter the position north and south. can see we position north and south. can see we position on the front, as that wave tips away so the rain bearing cold front begins to move south again, this time for christmas eve so it should be wetter in scotland, we will see more rain in northern ireland. a bit of drizzle, quite cloudy again, we could see some sunshine from eastern england, stronger winds for england and scotla nd stronger winds for england and scotland and northern ireland, temperatures pretty much across the board, ten or 11 degrees. 0n christmas day some windy weather for england and wales, head of this band of rain moving across northern ireland across the irish sea into england and wales and still affecting scotland, the air gets colder so there may be snow of the

scottish mountains but it isn't really cold air coming in behind this front, we have more rain coming in on the next one. what we are seeing is the start of a change to something much more unsettled. 0ne area of rain will move through, we get sunshine on boxing day, later in the day rain coming into northern ireland, wales and the south—west, temperatures lower on boxing day although nothing particularly cold, everything moving very quickly so the first area of low pressure moves through, things become drier and brighter on wednesday, something a little colder so temperatures will be low across the northern half of the uk. as we head towards new year we are seeing this change in the weather pattern, we can relate it to the jet stream, see this surge of stronger winds running through that jet, which is further south. in the jet, which is further south. in the jet stream pics of areas of low pressure, drives them towards the uk one after another and those areas of low pressure of further south, not moving to the north of the uk as we

are seeing now that moving right over the uk so every now and again he attacked in colder air on the northern edge and that means the chance perhaps of some snow. but the pattern is much more unsettled and changeable, we'll have stronger
