00:00 Good afternoon, it's Chris here with your top three stories today, Monday October the 30th.

00:04 That's it for me. Have a great day, and we'll see you tomorrow.

00:07 Number one, Adam Johnson, tears, tributes and police probe into tragic death of Nottingham Panthers player in Sheffield.

00:16 Number two, here's what commuters in South Yorkshire will be paying when bus and tram fares increase from November.

00:24 Number three, cutlery works Sheffield, rate my takeaway YouTube star visits UK's best food hall and is blown away.

00:31 Hello, it's Arthur from the Sheffield Star.

00:34 We're just out here today asking people if they've got Halloween plans this year, what they've got in the pipeline.

00:38 What's happening this year for you guys?

00:40 Well, I've just got plans to go and see my friends, maybe some parties.

00:44 But Halloween's become this massive thing recently, over the past few years,

00:49 and I think a lot more people are celebrating it. Less people are going trick-or-treating,

00:53 and more like dressing up. This is a massive thing, but I think people stop dressing scary.

01:00 I kind of just go out as an exclusive dresser for something random and then see my friends.

01:04 You said it's becoming something massive. Is it too busy? It's like over-celebrated?

01:08 I mean, I think it's over-celebrated because I'm not that big on Halloween.

01:12 Clowns scare me, so I'm not really going to go dressed as that.

01:15 But I don't know why it's become such a big thing recently.

01:19 I think more horror films are coming out, more people want to scare people. I don't know why.

01:25 More commercialised, I suppose. It makes money for the whole thing.

01:28 Yeah, it's definitely more a money thing.

01:30 How about at home? Any plans this year?

01:32 Not this year. I'm going to be back with my daughter, but she's at university.

01:36 So now she's here, I'm not going to bother her. I'm just going to turn the lights off and pretend I'm not here.

01:41 Turn the lights off, that's the rule.

01:43 But even this year, the leadership's always celebrating.

01:45 But that's just because I'm there and I'm going to celebrate it.

01:47 But now, I'm not. I'm not going to bother her.

01:50 So I'm taking my youngest daughter trick-or-treating.

01:56 But that's it really. We don't really. Otherwise we don't really make a big fuss. It's Halloween.

02:03 My partner owns a coffee shop in London.

02:06 So they're putting on a big Halloween party for the kids to go trick-or-treating.

02:13 And then it'll come into the cafe for hot dogs and sweets.

02:18 And sweets.

02:20 Yeah.

02:21 Thanks.

02:22 Thanks.
