Relief for the South Today team last weekend, as they were not bothered by giant cats at all!

Pictured above, relaxing at the trendy Unit nitespot, are transport correspondent Paul Clifton, weather girl Reham Khan, sports reporter Roger Johnson (not the Birmingham City footballer Roger Johnson), Sally Taylor, and rockabilly DJ Tony Husband.

Also pictured are Sally Taylor's troupe of dancing lemurs - always a big hit at Unit!

South Today Attacked By Giant Cats! Again!

Reports have reached us of more bad luck for the South Today crew.

Whilst the team were winding down at Southampton's trendy nitespot Unit, after a stressful week reporting on the tribulations of the good folk of the BBC South region, they were startled by the appearance of an enormous cat (seen here stealing Sally Taylor's pink wine goblet).

Resident rockabilly DJ (and South Today sports reporter) Tony Husband, told us that he had been petrified by the prodigious puss, but at least the colossal kitty had left his valuable box of original rock n' roll 7" vinyl singles alone - "the monstrous moggy only seemed to be interested in having a drink".

Transport correspondent Paul Clifton, who had had a previous encounter with a giant cat, was said to be both shaken and stirred by the incident.

South Today Attacked by Giant Cats!

South Today's transport correspondent Paul Clifton.

It was supposed to be a normal, everyday kind of assignment for South Today's transport correspondent Paul Clifton. Reporting on a spate of giant trucks being stolen by under-fives in a quarry just outside Petersfield, he suddenly became aware of the look of dread on his cameraman's face. Turning around slowly, he froze in terror as he saw a giant cat staring back into his eyes.

The terror turned to amazement as the cat spoke: "Miaow! I only want a drink of filthy truck-water!"

It was Hello Kitty's fiancé, Minty!

Apparently, the quarry had been the site of a nuclear waste dump in the 1960s, and Minty had drunk some radioactive water, which had caused him to grow to the size of a house! Not only that, but he could talk like a human too!

How they all laughed when they realised what had happened!
