seymour hoffman who works with paul thomas anderson a lot before he passed away, and this young chick he got gary is 15 years old and he thinks it's a good idea to chat up women of 25 who is here played by alana haim alana haim so the basic premise of will they want they came a conventionalfriendship premise of will they want they came a conventional friendship developing over time and it's a kind of episodic structure as you can see with a lot of cameos from the likes of bradley cooper and some of the characters are based on real life and some are not. there is a kind of hollywood personality in this, sean penn pops up, so it's got an unusual structure but it's a very light touch for paul thomas anderson i think is one of his lighter films. one of his letter feels but i feel really mixed about this because that central premise of 15—year—old boy chemically five—year limit, that this does not work. that central conceit does not work even though there are lots of other things about there are lots of other things about the film that are terrific, particularly just the way the film that are terrific, particularlyjust the way it the film that are terrific, particularly just the way it feels in the way you feel like i was very

and intimidation to get to see you, thank you very much indeed and enjoy your cinema going. whatever you choose to go into this week. see you very soon. bye—bye. might be good weather watch a movie tomorrow because it will be wet when he for some of us. the works will be on saturday and i think of the time to get a sunday, some brighter weather heading our way. it would turn a little bit milder but for the time being still a risk of some ice and some wintering is particularly across the hills and northern parts of the uk but certainly not exclusively. we've had a little bit of sleet and snow across southern parts of the uk. so here is a forecast of the next few hours. the skies are clearing inhibitors will drop quite rapidly in early in the night we are going to have an air frost quite widely across eastern areas but towards the early hours out to the western part of the uk,

this was a front approaching, things are going to turn much milder and look at the temperatures. belfast at 8 degrees, 10 degrees at 4am in plymouth. that was a front will be moving across the uk during the course saturday morning in the early part of the afternoon but a lot of isobars there so that means gusty winds as well but when it's coming from the south and within us with the system on the southwest so hence that milder weather reaching us. here's look at a forecast from the morning and a cold front will be subbing across the uk and i say cold, there is a bit of milder over there but cold and i think once the rain clears it will freshen up at least somewhat but come the afternoon i think it will be too late as after that we have only a couple of hours before sunset so i think overall a pretty wet day on the way but temperatures recovery around a 6—8 and perhaps even 10 celsius and it may take time for that rain to clear away quickly from the southeast and east anglia so overall, not a pretty picture on saturday it by any means. on sunday,

some showers in the forecast but essentially we are in between weather systems so that means it is going to be dry and bright right from the word go. not currently dry and everything you see some showers there across northern parts of the uk but on the whole, a much better day for many of us will be working up day for many of us will be working up to sunshine on sunday and will keep that sunshine off of the course of the afternoon and temperatures around 10 degrees in the south and 4 degrees in scotland, little bit cooler and the next front comes in so actually a later on sunday or that night we will see a bit of rain coming in once again. the overall outlook is for things to turn milder as we go into next week and there are hints that later next week, things could be settling down with high—pressure building and we will get some decent spells of sunshine hopefully. today at six, the actor sir sidney poitier,

whose pioneering films in the �*50s and �*60s, of black artists. he received a knighthood in 1974. we'll be reflecting on his impact on hollywood, and civil rights. also on the programme — the effects of covid on nhs workers. staff absence was up by 41% in england, after christmas. i think we have to be honest and when we look at the nhs, it will be a rocky few weeks ahead. the hotel where novak djokovic remains in detention in australia. he thanks his fans for their support.
