I would have put some numbers on this to give you a sense of how chile to start is. A different story out of the south west. It is as warm as 10 out of the south west. It is as warm as10 11 out of the south west. It is as warm as 10 11 12 out of the south west. It is as warm as 10 11 12 in some parts because you never lost the cloud overnight. 0ther spots certainly did and that is leading to that breitbart frosty start to the new day on sunday. There still is some speck of rings of showers across the far north east of showers across the far north east of scotla nd of showers across the far north east of scotland but wind nowhere near as strong here on land at least as it has been for the past few days. Still fairly blowing across the north sea. Here we are, mid afternoon, quite a bit of clout coming back into the western side andi coming back into the western side and i suspect that by this stage, the sunshine will be really rather hazy across central and eastern parts and there is no escaping the fa ct parts and there is no escaping the fact that across Northern Ireland, the western parts of scotland, they may be enough clout to that be the odd piece of rain. Despite the sunshine, i should odd piece of rain. Despite the sunshine, ishould point odd piece of rain. Despite the sunshine, i should point out, odd piece of rain. Despite the sunshine, ishould point out, in odd piece of rain. Despite the sunshine, i should point out, in the east, as was the case yesterday, live, six common set of degrees will be the best. 7. We will push the rain into the cold air and initially we could see snow down to 200 metres as more mild air comes in from the atlantic, we will lift the snow level of onto the highest roots so it stays pretty cold across the north. It comes the flood of mild air across the south and as many of you start the new day on monday rate, yes, pretty wet, gas, but it will be very mild as we get through the door. Bits and pieces left behind. Im afraid its one of those. The plus is, scotland, you never really get into the mild air. Its not close enough. Im afraid it is go to the one of those days for a good part of scotland, really rather grey. As the country the week, more mild airfrom the grey. As the country the week, more mild air from the atlantic but a price to say. No more the bright, frosty sparkling start to the day, it is pretty wet and windy fare and i could break it to you gently but im not going to, thats going to be the way that a good many of us are a good part of the week. Volunteers restoring the last paddle steamer to be built in britain are appealing for help to track down artefacts and equipment which disappeared from the ship.

Now, a group of enthusiasts are hoping to see her set sail again. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has been aboard to take a look. In the grey drizzle of an autumnal day, the last paddle steamer to be built in britain. Shes not sailed for more than 35 years, moored up and, for part of that time, left to rot until steam ship enthusiasts saved her from rot until steam ship enthusiasts saved herfrom sinking. Rot until steam ship enthusiasts saved her from sinking. Its a thing of beauty, but it needs a bit of work. Absolutely, it sure does. It needs a lot of work, and a lot of money spent on it. The obvious things are that the paintwork and all that kind of thing. Things are that the paintwork and all that kind of thing. Bit of rotten wood there . Rotten wood. All of that will be replaced or renewed. The paddle boxes will be bright and sparkling again. In her 30 years of service, royalty and heads of state we re service, royalty and heads of state were amongst the millions of passengers who graced her decks. 0n a saturday night, thered be entertainment. And on a summers day, it would be full of families whod come from glasgow to see loch lomond. In its heyday, the maid of the loch would have been packed with passengers enjoying a day out on the water. Many of those who are helping to restore it have fond memories of this ship, and want a new generation to enjoy it too. Was it exciting, as a boy . 0h, to enjoy it too. Was it exciting, as a boy . Oh, yes, fantastic. Never seen anything like it in my life. Theres a wonderful feeling about watching the power i mean, this is power. This is raw power. All these pistons the two pistons going backwards and forwards, turning the shafts, making the paddles go through their cycle, making her go through their cycle, making her go through their cycle, making her go through the water. Its just i mean, magics the only word there is to it. Hard work by volunteers has erased some of the damage caused by the years of neglect. But with anything of value stolen, any metals that could be melted down sold as scrap, they now need help in tracking down any artefacts that still exist, like this recently returned ships wheel. The ship was stripped bare before we took it on. But over the years, weve had one or two things back. The most important one is the ships bell. You want to hear it . Yeah, go on, then. You need to give me a hand. if i lift it, you can give it a ding. Bell dings theres lots of other ones that people have taken off. No recriminations, we just need to know that, if theyre safe, would people please give them back . Securing the heritage of this historic ship, and moving one step closer to seeing the maid of moving one step closer to seeing the maid of the loch raising steam and sailing once again. Thatll be a landmark moment, when she gets a full head of steam once again. Time now for the film review. Mark kermode joins jane hill for a look at the latest cinema releases. It is good to see you. Mark joins markjoins us. What have you been watching . We have film stars dont die in liverpool. An awards Level Performance by annette bening. Justice League Batman and wonder woman are back. And mudbound a drama set in 19405 mississippi. It is an interesting week. Im dying to know what you think of ourfirst film. Set in the 705. Yes. Based on the memoir by peter turner. Bening is superb as gloria grahame. Jamie bells character, a twentysomething actor becomes infatuated in the late 705. He discovers they are sharing digs in this house and he is bewitched by her presence, as we all are. Heres a clip. Hey. Youre the next door guy, right . Which makes you the girl next door. Have you seen the movie saturday night fever . Yeah, actually, three times. So, you like disco dancing . Oh, god. I like drunk dancing. So, if i make you a drink, do you want to be my partner for my dance class . If you fetch me a drink, i will clean your bathroom. I already love it. You can see there is real chemistry between them. The film divides its time between the story of the rise and fall of their relationship. And a few years later on, when she falls ill and calls on him to bring him back to liverpool, when she falls ill and calls on him to bring her back to liverpool, she feels she can get better in liverpool, it was directed with warmth and passion. Paul mcguigan made a film called gangster number one at the turn of the century which was exciting. I love the slipping back and forth through time. The performances were wonderful. Bening is transfixing. You believe in her as someone with a real film star past. The voice that she has adopted, the rest a touch of marilyn monroe. Referred to as the other blonde. She was a movie star and had a movie star presence. What the film does is it makes them feel like they are genuinely in love with each other. Despite a very big age gap. Interestingly enough, what the film does is invert the usual age and gender relationship. It does not make a big deal out of it. There is a time when she says i want to playjuliet and he says do you mean the maid . She says to you see me as an old woman . And the lovely thing is he doesnt and editors the film and neither do we. I feel like her performance is brilliant. And there is a joke about that. I feel like the performance is brilliant. It is 0scar time. A lot of it is to do with the attention to detail. It is really well done. If you have a period setting and people get things wrong, it takes you out. It is charming and sweet and i was moved by it. It is touching. A love story beautifully told. It reminded me of the film making of terence davies, and i dont say that lightly. I do not say that likely because i love him. Yes. Praise indeed. I think you will like it. It has everything. Justice league. I live w
