Last week we brought you news of a free screening taking place at The Forum in Norwich tonight of one of the most famous dramas made by Anglia Television.

"Alternative 3" caused worldwide headlines when it was first broadcast in 1977.

Made in the style of a documentary, it apparently showed a link between Britain's "brain drain", climate change and life on Mars. Some viewers were convinced that the world was coming to an end.

Director Christopher Miles, who will answer questions after tonight's screening, says they didn't intend to frighten people.

"What I wanted to show was that people don't watch carefully, they super-impose their own wishes and imaginations on to a film and if they'd watched carefully, at the end credits, all the actors are up there on the screen.

"If you'd just watched that, you'd have known it was a reconstruction.

"In all fairness, we did tell everybody."

Norfolk County Council is to consider using empty council buildings as homes for children leaving the care system.

They say it can be difficult to find appropriate accommodation, despite using a range of providers, to house children over the age of 16.

In March, we reported on how a company called Sixteen Plus, which housed vulnerable teenagers who'd left care, was to be investigated following concerns about the standard of accommodation provided.

The company was told new placements had been suspended.

A report to the Children's Services Commitee next week will propose to convert former county council properties into homes for care leavers.

New "pop-up" stalls have been added to Norwich market.

The short-term trading posts are designed to allow people to have a go at selling in the market without committing to a long-term contract, and they will run until the middle of July.

Sophie Bremner is from Norwich Global Market Village which has taken on eight stalls.

She says they're interested to see how the market goes - and the other market traders have been really welcoming.

The former business secretary Sir Vince Cable has announced he wants to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats, replacing Tim Farron.

North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb (pictured) is also expected to contest the leadership, although he hasn't yet confirmed whether he's standing.

Mr Lamb retained his seat in the election, with a 10% increase in his vote.

It's been exceptionally warm over the last few days, with temperatures reaching 30C (86F) across the BBC East region yesterday.

It's a similar picture today, with the mercury expected to hit 28C (82F).

The average temperature for this time of year, explains Weatherquest's, external James Wilbey, is around 18C or 19C - and that's the temperature we've been seeing overnight.

James explains why we're basking in the sunshine.

"We've had an area of high pressure that's drifted off to the east of us over the continent, and that's allowed for some very warm southerly winds to spread up from France and Spain, and from the south west in general, and with the strong sunshine it has brought the high temperatures".

The situation is not that unusual, he adds.

"We do occasionally see areas of high pressure become settled over the continent and when that happens we get these really warm plumes of air from the south... but it can easily change, it's a very volatile situation.

"All it would take is for that high pressure to move away to the east slightly, to allow low pressure to move in from the west - and with a more active jet stream you could easily see areas of low pressure crossing the country again to bring unsettled conditions... it can change quickly at this time of year."

So what can we expect over the next few days? It will remain warm, but there's a change over the weekend.

A man who went missing in early April has been described as a loving family man by his sister, as she appealed for information on his whereabouts on television this morning.

"He was a hard worker, a family man, loved his son - spent a lot of time with his son," Diana Mays told BBC One's Crimewatch Roadshow, speaking of her brother Nigel Kedar.

He was last seen in south Norfolk on 4 April, having spent the night of 2 April with a friend in Norwich.

Mr Kedar, from St Osyth, played football with his son and they both did martial arts, Ms Mays said.

She appeared on the programme with Det Ch Insp Marie James from Norfolk Police, who explained Mr Kedar's last known movements.

He withdrew £100 from his bank account at 06:20 on 4 April in the Long Stratton area of Norfolk and bought a bottle of water.

"There's been no other activity on Nigel's bank account since that time," the officer said.

"Then the last known sighting is in Thelveton between 9 and 10am on that morning."

Both police and Mr Kedar's family have said his disappearance is "completely" out of character.

The sister of a man missing since 4 April has made an emotional appeal for information on his whereabouts on BBC One's Crimewatch Roadshow.

Nigel Kedar, 52, from St Osyth near Clacton in Essex, was last seen after going to visit a friend in Norfolk.

His disappearance was "completely" out of character, his sister Diana Mays said.

Mr Kedar visited Norwich on Sunday, 2 April where he spent the night with a female friend, Det Ch Insp Marie James, from Norfolk Police said.

"There were a number of sightings the following morning on the Monday", she said, but the last known sightings were on the Tuesday, 4 April.

Mr Kedar withdrew money from his bank account in the Long Stratton area of Norfolk at about 06:20 and was seen at about 07:30 walking on the A140 at Pulham Market in a southbound direction towards Suffolk.

He was last seen at about 09.30 that day, walking southbound through the Dickleburgh/Thelveton area.

Appearing on Crimewatch to renew an appeal for information, Ms Mays said her brother "is devoted to his son" and was looking forward to spending the school holidays with him.

She pleaded with her brother to "call someone".

"Tell them you're OK," she said.

"Whatever it is he feels he can't come home for, we're a strong family, we can sort it, we can help him."

Mr Kedar is described as white, 5ft 11in (1.8m) tall, of large build and with short hair.

He was wearing dark-coloured trousers with a lighter-coloured long-sleeved shirt.

The heatwave forced the swingbridges to close yesterday - and the Broads Authority says they won't be opening until 19:00 today.

But if your boat will fit, you can still go underneath:

Modern slavery is often hidden from view and affects men, women and children from all backgrounds , and it's happening here.

Norfolk and Suffolk constabularies are working together to tackle the issue.

Just this weekend, says Det Sgt Mark Scott, they had a referral where someone who'd been arrested had been forced to commit crimes by other people.

"We're asking people to pick up the phone and make a referral to the UK Modern Slavery helpline, external... that way we can save more people who are being kept as slaves, forced into criminality or being sexually exploited."

Det Sgt Scott was the investigating officer for Norfolk and Suffolk police in the case of two Lithuanian men who smuggled twin brothers into the UK, and kept them in squalid conditions in Great Yarmouth.

He explains how easy it is for people to be exploited. The brothers had been brought up in children's homes, got into alcoholism, been in prison and were very subservient.

"These are the people preyed on and because of the nature of the people they won't come forward, and probably don't see themselves as victims... it's down to other agencies, not just the police, other people need to take responsibility and report any suspicions they have."

The two Lithuanian men were given a prison sentence, and Anti-Trafficking Prevention and Slavery Orders. In February, they were deported back to Lithuania.

A charity set up to stop modern slavery in Britain says it's had six calls from Norfolk in its first six months.

Justine Currell, chief executive of Unseen, says it might not sound like a lot, but it means they have got six potential cases where people are being exploited. One anonymous call led to a man being released from an industrial unit and put in to accommodation.

"Because of the diverse landscape of Norfolk and Suffolk, we're seeing big issues in factories, agriculture... and also sexual exploitation... it's important people understand that it's happening everywhere and could be on their doorstep."

Victims of modern slavery can be UK as well as foreign nationals, and Justine says we need to raise awareness of the crime.

She says it's important that the general public can spot the signs, and if they think something's not quite right, to phone the UK Slavery Helpline, external on 08000 121 700.

Slavery was abolished in Britain more than 200 years ago... but it's still happening and it could be right under your nose.

Last January, two Lithuanian brothers were jailed at King's Lynn Crown Court for trafficking two men, forcing them to work at factories in Suffolk and live in squalid conditions.

The Unseen UK charity, which set up a hotline, external where people can report suspicions about forced labour, has had six calls from the Norfolk area within its first six months.

Norfolk and Suffolk police forces are working together to tackle the issue and last month they hosted a conference in Hopton-on-Sea to pool ideas with other organisations.

Suffolk's assistant chief constable Rachel Kearton was at the conference.

Trains between Norfolk and London seem to be operating as usual today, after yesterday's heatwave led to disruption.

Around half the scheduled Greater Anglia services ran yesterday - with 16 trains cancelled between Norwich and the capital.

The problem was caused by overhead power lines, which sag in high temperatures. Many were installed in the 1950s, and they're gradually being replaced.

An added problem is that rails can be damaged in the heat - they can handle temperatures up to 27C, but any higher can result in signalling problems or even buckled rails.

Greater Anglia spokeswoman Juliette Maxam says it would be far worse if they ignored Network Rail, and ran the trains at the usual speed.

"Then the lines would come down and we would have massive disruption and we'd have no trains rather than fewer trains."

The sister of a missing man who was last seen in Norfolk is to appear on BBC One's Crimewatch Roadshow this morning in an appeal for help in finding him.

Nigel Kedar, from St Osyth near Clacton, was last seen on 4 April when CCTV captured him walking along the A140 in Long Stratton.

He was also seen further south in Thelveton heading towards Suffolk, but a police helicopter search has failed to find him.

The 52-year-old father and builder had been visiting a friend in Norfolk.

As we reported yesterday, mosques and Islamic centres across Norfolk will have a higher police presence from today following the attack in London's Finsbury Park.

Police say they will be patrolling faith centres across the county to give reassurance.
