00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03Derbyshire police are appealing for information following an incident that has left a man in hospital with serious injuries over the weekend.
00:10On Saturday, officers were made aware of a man being admitted to hospital following an incident earlier on Saturday evening.
00:16They are trying to establish details of how the man became injured and would like to speak to anyone who was in or around the gate-in pub on King Edward Street in Shirebrook on Saturday evening to get in touch with him.
00:26Anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage in the area of Main Street in Shirebrook is also asked to contact Derbyshire police.
00:36A Derbyshire dad who has spent £50,000 building an underground bunker in his back garden is now planning to spend another £10,000 to upgrade it in case World War III breaks out.
00:46Dave Billings, 44, began the project in his Derbyshire home more than a decade ago after being inspired by the iconic film The Great Escape.
00:54But with tensions rising in the Middle East, he's decided to prep the shelter to become a survival place, although he warned it would not be nuclear-proof.
01:02Dave, who lives with his wife Beth and their seven-year-old son Oliver, said the goal is to secure an underground space for a family if things turn for the worse.
01:10Dave, who is an engineer and a content creator, estimates he's spent over £50,000 on a bunker so far, which started as a disused well.
01:18A 30-foot tunnel now leads to a multifunction room, which measures 140 feet in total.
01:23Let's go down the well and discuss what's going off in the world.
01:27So obviously I was building this bunker, man cave, everything down here for a bit of a party room as we go down my well.
01:34The well at the moment, if you look down there, is nearly dry.
01:37So the original plan was to make all this into a party room, obviously.
01:42But now I'm thinking, do I do a bit of conversion and make this ready for war?
01:48Great escape tunnel there.
01:50We've got Jim over here.
01:51I think maybe I should be making him a proper air filtration plant.
01:56This door over here, needs sealing off.
02:01Summon the tunnel cart.
02:07Oh, if it stops.
02:13It's my 35-foot tunnel, I dug my hand.
02:16Escape track is there.
02:18As we enter the new room.
02:21I need to make a blast door there.
02:28Obviously we filter the air from the other end.
02:30This can be shut off, obviously, like this.
02:34Toilet's looking good.
02:35What shall I put down here?
02:36We've got the toilet.
02:37We've got a well water, which was a bit dry.
02:40We need to dig the well down a bit more to get more water out.
02:42We need power, a backup power system.
02:45And we need food, beer.
02:47What else am I missing?
02:49Put in the comments what am I missing?
02:50Tornado Dave YouTube.
02:52See you later.
