and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Labour Government – which pledged to ban hunting trophies in its election manifesto – has promised parliamentary time for the issue, but is refusing to say when it will introduce its bill despite repeated questioning from MPs.
And this week Vicki, who plays Yvette in the hit comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! - has launched a new video urging the Government to bring in the bill as soon as possible.

"It's inhumane and it's barbaric, let's get the ban done now."
Northants residents can help by writing to their MP, expressing their support for the bill, and urging speed on the matter to help save the lives of animals.
A ban is backed by 9 out of 10 voters, according to Survation, and 99 MPs from 10 political parties have now signed a motion demanding the government introduce the ban immediately.

Investigations by the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting have revealed that British trophy hunters are shooting lions bred in captivity and shot in enclosures, endangered elephants, cheetahs and Polar bears, and giraffes and hippos.
Some have hundreds of animal 'trophies' in their personal collections. The group has also exposed a number of British companies that sell trophy hunting 'holidays' to shoot wildlife in Africa.
Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting founder Eduardo Goncalves, said: “The Government needs to announce a date for its bill. It can’t just sit there and do nothing while endangered animals are senselessly slaughtered to satisfy the bloodlust of a few idiots.
