Sam's dramatic rescue

Here's some very dramatic footage from the Hull and Humber Clipper which you may have seen on ITV Calendar.

17-year-old Sam from Hull was taken ill on board and was rescued by a Brazilian naval vessel.

The footage was first to appear on ITV Local Yorkshire and then our colleagues at Calendar used it throughout the day. Watch below:

Alan Bean was the fourth man to walk on the moon. His was the second lunar landing, and although it was 35 years ago, he is no less excited for having been there. Alan has been in Pontefract talking to students about one of the greatest adventures to have been made. Jon Mitchell describes it as an honour (and is clearly excited) to interview Alan Bean.

Jason Donovan

I am reliably told that Jason, heartthrob, Donovan will be appearing on tonight's Calendar programme. I wouldn't normally take much notice myself but the girls in the newsroom seem a little distracted today.

Grassroots Sport

We launch a Grass Roots Sport channel later today. Here's a man you might remember from the days of the TV show, How.
