now on bbc news, sir bruce forsyth, sir roger moore, glenn campbell and john noakes — just a few of those who left us this year, and whose lives are celebrated in review 2017: we remember. # deep down in louisiana close to new 0rlea ns # way back up in the woods among the evergreens # there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood # where lived a country boy named johnny b goode... # 0h, maybelline. .. half of the young people go to school so that's why i wrote about school, i wrote about cars and most of all the people, if they're not now, they'll soon be in love. # it's a jumping little record i want myjockey to play # roll over, beethoven, i got to hear it again today #. and you, monsieur,

are the famous simon templar. but what about brother vincent, supposing he notices something he thinks clinton should know about? mr... bond. james bond. is there time before we leave for lesson number three? absolutely. there's no sense in going off half—cocked. stir in some crushed ice, shake, strain and pour. top it off with one olive. two. i said two. you were perfect up until the olives. two olives. that way you can see they can gently bounce up against each other. i'm afraid the spectacle of two olives gently bouncing up against each other is a pleasure i shall forego. oh, but you don't want to bust up a pair.

we played it tongue in cheek. i play most heroes tongue in cheek. i really don't see myself as a hero so i play it as if it is all a joke. a house with a door... # one, two, three, four.# great big curtain rings, they must have come out of a giant's house. i know, i'll be an owl. hoo—hoo! hee—haw! our aim, we were told, was to play one to one through the camera. # up and down with your brush.# and it worked, that is why people remember it because it was as if we were talking only to them. it's windy miller. hello, windy. # pugh, pugh, barney mcgrew, cuthbert, dibble, grubb.# mrjohn noakes!

i'm sure this does me good. 0h, get off me foot! well, our animals are going to be happy, they're going away on holiday too, they're going to spend it in the country. lulu won't be there. at this level of the plinth on which nelson stands overhangs the column... i was literally hanging from the ladder with nothing beneath me. once i had reached the top of the column the worst part began — i had to go down again, in a bosun's chair. are you coming down tojoin me? yes, i'm coming down. do you feel all right? yeah, feels fine.

no, shep, don't bite him! # get down, shep, keep still, boy! # behave, come here.# # john could never be alone, no matter where he went # because shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up the scent.# # by jove, i've just jumped out of this aeroplane # and 50,000 feet and... get down, shep! hello, welcome to a special bank holiday edition of cheggers plays pop. how long did it take you to record the album? between two and three years. quite a long time. do you have any ideas of what you would like to swap it for? i'm back again. 1a years at the bbc. swap shop, cheggers plays pop, all sorts. i happened to miss a bus one christmas evening and went

into a london store and saw this toy bear on the counter. nobody had bought it, it was the only one left. i took it home to my wife. we lived near paddington so we called it paddington. one day i was sitting with a blank sheet of paper and a typewriter and started to write a story about it and it became a book. mr and mrs brown first met paddington on a railway station, which is how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear. based on my father, he was a very polite man, always wore a hat in case he met somebody, and paddington has a lot of him in it. good afternoon, he said, can i help you? there's parsley. sometimes mr 0nion lets him ring the bell. # london, a lovely city # you can go to france or america, india, asia, australia

# you've got to come back to london city # london is the place for me i think there was a sort of reticence and nervousness that the women might take over altogether. we might not present an acceptable face of cricket. and i actually cried as i walked out onto the pitch. it was the most incredible feeling. rachael flint, what a good piece of fielding, but not good running between the wickets, though.

advantage... overcome with the emotion of it all. shejust told me, "jana, you will do it, i believe one day you will do it." she's done it! blackburn rovers 7, nottingham forest 0. after our last problem, the editor of final score came along with a box and when he opened it and pulled out this trophy, i thought, "that's absolutely made my day" because that is something that i have always thought, having watched the sports personality of the year, i would love to have something like that as a souvenir of my career. grandstand theme.

batman theme. it was a two—piece deal, but it was itchy and someone had to zip up the back. i had to fumble to get out of the suit. so if i wanted to go to the bathroom, somebody had to be there! what now, batman? 0ur parents were slaughtered with the others. that is why, that is why we tried to kill. that is why, that is why! we'll need a team.

victor, scientific... sandra, keep all communication systems wide open. you take over. english girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses, like wallpaper on the march. pat's all right. not bad, nice face, nice figure. good teeth, too.

ew! what's the matter with you? you two, where are you taking them tonight, smithfield market? are you happy? i mean, really, really, happy—happy? i'm fantastically happy. iam. i know it's silly, but sometimes it worries me, i'm so happy. i keep expecting something to come along and spoil it. daft thing, what could possibly do that? it happens sometimes in an actor's life, if you are very, very lucky that something special turns up. ready, steady, go! and when i read last of the summer wine, i thought, "this is it." yes, this is it, this is the tree! you can see tollgate church! i'm sorry, gromit, the fact is, i am just crackers about cheese. cracking toast, gromit!

# ..although i cry. # ain't that a shame? # ifound my thrill. # 0n blueberry hill. # when i found you... new guinea, newjersey, new york, new zealand, where do you want to go, chuck? new brighton.

i therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. well, go on, kiss me. jack, look what i've got! hey, i've got a match for me pot dog, we saw it in this antiques shop window on nightingale street. where are you going, jack? to see a man about a thing. where's me dog?! i wouldn't have done, but it was an emergency. i've brought my own flaming dog! calm down, vera, love. 48 quid for my own dog! that miserable so—and—so only gave me 25! i've never loved anybody else. come on, say you've never loved anybody else. i've never loved anybody else, shall i go and get your slippers? please. i wish that at that time i had been

older, so that i would have been able to have answered or spoke up for myself. you move like a racehorse. you walk like a derby winner. you must let me help you, introduce you to some friends of mine, some photographers, film people, television people. i could do wonders with you, little baby. lam homosexual, irretrievably. then why did you come here looking as you do? well... many people said, "don't do that, you'll never work again" and i said, "it's not about sexuality, it's about the tenderness of the individual as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd." we did so well, but... a beautiful woman.

you're my future selves? yes! am i having a midlife crisis? why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that? they're scientific instruments, not water pistols! welcome aboard, delighted you could join us. captain striker at your service. how do you do? i'm the doctor, and this is tegan. doctor who theme. # but where do you go to, my lovely # when you're alone in your bed? # won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you # i want to look inside your head, yes, i do # your name, it is heard in high places

# you know the aga khan # and he sent you a racehorse for christmas # and you keep itjust forfun # for a laugh # hah—hah—hah—hah # and they say that if you get married # it'll be to a millionaire # but they don't realise where you came from # and i wonder if they really care.# # you're a lady # i'm a man # you're supposed to understand.# # we are family # i got all my sisters and me # we are family

# get up everybody, sing.# # my blood runs cold # my memory hasjust been sold # my angel is the centrefold # angel is a centrefold.# music: "back in black" by ac/dc # don't come around here no more # whatever you're looking for...# # i'm free falling...# # you can sit around and wait for the phone to ring # waiting for someone to tell you everything # at the end of the line...# i hold you responsible for biggins, james. it is this ragbag of fugitives from the debtors‘ prison

that should concern us. i remember a day when we did a lambing sequence through the night in the ice cold of winter, deep snow, endless frost. we few, we happy few. we band of brothers. but — the removal of those grievances ought to proceed grievances ought to precede the disarmament of the victims. music: "reelin' in the years" by steely dan for such backbenchers, it's the curse of coalition politics,

but the government is putting it down to the reality of an ageing and needful population. we have been shown that register, and it suggests that far from lessening, the threat is greater now than at any time for the last ten years. the flood of allegations aboutjimmy savile's behaviour is now engulfing many of the institutions he was involved with. i think the decision to drop our story was a breach of our duty to the women who trusted us to reveal thatjimmy savile was a paedophile. # some walk by night # some fly by day # nothing could change you # said i'm sure of the way

# there is the sun and moon # they sing their own sweet tune # watch them when dawn is due # sharing one space # we'll walk by night # we'll fly by day # moonlighting strangers # who just met on the way.# now in the movie industry, hype is good news if the film lives up to it, very bad news if it doesn't. a morally uplifting parable about faith and redemption, and how naive innocence can be mistaken for wisdom begins to unfold. now it's ok, now you can let the tears flow, are probably shed now it's ok, now you can let the tears flow.

i'll probably shed a couple myself, as for the very last time i bow myself out to the accompaniment of billy taylor and the best theme on television. film night theme plays. more next week. good night. music: "jessica" by the allman brothers hot favourite after wins in 1958 and 1959, john surtees, number three, rocketing away. on his way to win his sixth tt and his third successive senior tt. i don't set out with definite ambitions, i just try

and do my best whatever i do. in his ferrari, john surtees, number seven, going like a bomb, eventually leaving the cars still in the race. # i think i love you # so what am i so afraid of?# when 20, 30, 40, 50,000 people are screaming at the top of their lungs, "i love you", it is so overwhelming. # i'm just a daydreamer # walking in the rain.# you just don't expect to meet him personally. hi, there. they scream. i've been touring for about three, three and a half years, and i am really tired. # feel like i've never known a time before...# # just knowing that your door

# i love you # fly me to the moon!# thank you. cheering. turning progressively less wintry but not a lot quieter through the weekend. still a lot going on without breaks of rain spreading from the west overnight. maybe some snow at lower levels in northern ireland for a time. generally speaking, mild from the south. still chilly across scotland and north—east england with icy stretches tomorrow morning. this band of light and patchy rain with hill snow across scotland will move

north. to the south of that, brighter skies and sunshine and a scattering of showers. 0n the south coast, a scattering of showers but very mild. into new year's eve, heavy rain to the south—east at first with strong wind, too. then a mixture of sunshine and blustery showers. if you are celebrating at midnight, clear skies for many and a few showers in the west. snow, ice and strong winds have disrupted many parts of the uk — with more to come over the new year weekend. there've been warnings of treacherous driving conditions in the worst—affected areas. several major cities in iran are hit by a wave of protests against the government. and the dog who's had pioneering treatment to save a leg from amputation — experts hope to use the same technique soon on people good evening.

snow and ice have led to another day of travel disruption in parts of the uk. passengers at glasgow airport faced delays,
