00:00 As Christmas is just around the corner, plans have been well underway in the South West
00:07 for the festive season. But what are this week's top five news stories?
00:12 Well, our first story is an exciting one. Oh yes it is. Bristol Hippodrome's Peter Pan
00:19 the Pantomime has officially opened, starring Poirot, Czar David Suchet and step singer
00:25 Faye Tozza. Best known for the iconic Agatha Christie TV detective Hercule Poirot, a role
00:31 he played for 24 years, Suchet's career has included heavyweight theatre and Hollywood
00:37 blockbusters. Our second story this week is a very sad one.
00:42 A body has been found in the search for a missing 35-year-old man, Vincent Legascoz.
00:48 Teacher Vincent was last seen on Radcliffe Street, Bristol at about 1.30am on Saturday
00:53 the 2nd December. The body was found by police divers at Radcliffe Quay, Bristol. And while
01:01 formal identification has not taken place, police believe it is Vincent. At this stage
01:07 the death is not being treated as suspicious. Vincent's family has been informed and police
01:13 are offering them support. Our third story this week is Bristol Beacon
01:17 has officially opened... for a week. After a five year wait that £132m spent, the venue
01:24 doors opened. The opening performance was Trip the Light Fantastic by a 40-piece para
01:30 orchestra conducted by Charles Hadlewood, with ambient techno sounds from Bristol composer
01:36 Surgeon's Girl and some stunning projection from the award-winning Limbic Cinema. After
01:42 five years of closure, it was a fitting Bristol-made spectacle to mark the start of a new era for
01:48 future generations. The venue is due to host many major acts over the next year, many of
01:54 which sold out before the venue had even reopened. Only time will tell the success of the new
02:01 Bristol Beacon venue. Our fourth story this week is one that has
02:06 been spoken about a lot on X. Tenants of Barton House urged council bosses to stop charging
02:13 them rent during a tense public meeting at City Hall. Hundreds of people were evacuated
02:19 from the tower block last month, but many must still pay rent to Bristol City Council
02:24 despite their homes being unsafe. And finally, a concerning one for locals. Police are appealing
02:32 for public's help to identify a woman in connection with the investigation into a fire
02:37 on a bus in Bristol. Officers were called to the Coots in Stockwood on Sunday November
02:43 26th following reports of a fire on the number two double-decker bus. As part of the investigation
02:49 into a suspected arson, police are keen to speak to a woman who they believe may have
02:55 information. That's you up to date with your top five news stories in Bristol this week.
03:00 Whatever you're up to, have a very merry day.
