Across the UK, across continental North America, at around the world, on the internet, by webcast, and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Thank you for keeping the faith with the show, thank you for coming back to it time and time again.

And thank you for telling your friends passing on the word about this, so many people telling me that a friend told them about the unexplained, and then they got hooked and started listening.

So please pass the word on because we're a little cottage industry here, we're very, very small, we're not a corporation or any kind of big enterprise, there's only me here, and the only way we can get the word out about this is for you to spread it online or tell your friends about it, just call them up and tell them about this show called the unexplained, and maybe you think they'll be interested in it, and that's great.

Thank you very much for the emails that are still coming in, by the way, if you want to give me feedback about the show, what you think about it, how you think we can improve it, guess we can maybe talk to in future.

Go to the website now designed by Adam Cornwell at Creative Hotspot in Liverpool, www.the unexplained.tv, www.the unexplained.tv, there you can leave a donation for the show to help this work continue, expand and develop, and also a message for me.

I'm very grateful to you for all the support you've given to me in recent months.

Now this show is going to be quite different from ones that we've done recently, we're going to take very much a walk on the white outside this time, and we're going to talk about miracles.

Maybe there's been a time in your life, certainly recently in mind with this hearing difficulty that I've had to contend with over the last couple of months where I've kind of sat back and I've thought what I need right now is a miracle.

Whether we reach into ourselves for some kind of resource, or whether as I do, we look outside, we're not entirely sure what we're looking to, when we look outside, maybe you are.

But we're looking for some kind of facility, some kind of assistance, some kind of help, and I have to say in my life, sometimes it's come, so we're going to be talking with a lady in a miracle called Sheree Dillard about the miracle workers handbook.

Now Sheree is a medium, I guess you call her, but has a really fascinating take on miracles, and how to get change within your life.

Maybe that's not being fair to her, but we'll talk to her in just a second when we connect with her.

And we've had this process ongoing in the UK that reflects a great deal on public life and politicians. It's called the Levison inquiry.

If you're in the UK, you may well be bored with it already. It's been going on for months. It's an inquiry, a judicial inquiry into the standards of the media prompted by the dirty dealings of some of the tabloid press and others by hacking into mobile phones, cell phones, and getting data and dirt on people and information about people to get stories and the various ways that the media interfaces with people in public life and politicians.

Are for good or bad in the quest for information, which supposedly we all want. Well, we've had a whole variety of people up in front of this affair over the last few months.

I interviewed Alistair Campbell, who used to be Tony Players Pressman when Tony Blair was the prime minister of this country, Alistair Campbell, very forceful figure, and didn't take very kindly when I asked him what he felt about this circus call the Levison inquiry.

And he put me in my place well and truly he doesn't think it's a circus. He believes it is performing a vital function. Me, I'm not sure. It's interesting, isn't it?

To hear the contradictory views of various politicians, Gordon Brown, contradicting Rupert Murdoch, and then we've heard the views of former prime minister John Major. We've heard Hugh Grant on the stand, various entertainers and celebrities on the stand there.

And as I record these words, we're just digesting what David Cameron, the British prime minister has had to say.

We've had a lot of heat at the Levison inquiry, but I wonder at the end of the day if there's going to be much light.

Is it really a surprise that those in power have dealings with the media of various kinds and that the media use all kinds of methods and have traditionally to get their stories?
