Breaking space-age news just in… Beckworth’s locally trained astronaut, and am dram enthusiast, Tim Peake has just blasted into space on his solo mission to conquer Mars on behalf of the UK. Or at least i think it’s something like that. Mr Tim cleverly hitched a lift on a Russian rocket and hopes to be on Mars later today in time to have his dinner. Good luck Mr Peake, we’re all behind you. Literally. And i’ll keep you up to date on this “out of this world” story as it happens. Christine Batley.
