Why watch? I have just read your letters' page and find myself wondering about the folk who write the 'anti-programme' letters. If they really find what they are watching is 'in bad taste', 'repulsive', 'sick', 'terrible' and 'boring', why on earth do they watch? They must be masochists. The programmes I have enjoyed recently are ITV's The Bill, Spitting Image and The Last Place on Earth and I am delighted that the comedy Chance in a Million, starring Simon Callow and Brenda Blethyn (below), is now being shown on ITV.

Equal time I would like to congratulate Channel Four on promoting Credo to an hour-long, peakviewing spot on Saturday evenings. Having seen the first programme, in which the Archbishop of York, Dr John Habgood, was interviewed, I hope that equal time will be given later in the series to Christians who know from their own experience that God hears and answers their prayers.

Thames Television, which produces one of the most popular quiz shows, Name That Tune' (ITV ), says that the criterion is not whether a person is fully-fit or handicapped, but whether he or she has the necessary specialised knowledge - in this case, popular music. A ny contestant who knows his Rodgers by Hart would be welcome.

Piot cover-up The P D James Adam Dalgliesh novels have been great favourites of mine for some time and I looked forward to the third one to be serialised, Cover Her Face (ITV). Presumably such stories are chosen for their excellent plots, so why do they have to be altered so much? Death of an Expert W itness and Shroud for a Nightingale survived virtually unscathed, but the changes in the latest were almost ludicrous. If I were the author I would be far from happy with this adaptation. Celia I West Bognor Regis, West Sussex Roy Marsden, who starred as Dalgliesh and is seen below with co-stars Mel Martin and Julian Glover, is sorry you are disappointed, but says that author P D James is certainly not. A s this is her first Dalgliesh novel and very short, she and adaptor Robin Chapman put their collective ideas together to extend it' Marsden is currently filming P D James's seventh novel, The Black Tower'. He says. This is a much longer work and there will be no need for any additions to the plot in this one.'

Greedy people

A town like malice

In TV Times' 20 Tips for Weight Watchers, I was shocked to read: 'It's not a sin to leave something on your plate after an ample meal.' Most people are overweight because they eat too much. Millions are starving because of this greed. To encourage people to waste food and to greedily help themselves to more than they need is sinful. C M Burrough

Tarnished heroes I must agree with the critics that the portrait of Captain Scott (played by Martin Shaw) in ITV's The Last Place on Earth is unfair. Captain Scott died but he did not fail. He is a hero, but there will always be people who delight in tarnishing images of great people. It is not clever, it is shameful. Who will be the next target? Will it be Churchill because he smoked too many cigars, or Douglas Bader because some little wimp decided that he cheated at golf? L F Pendry Folkestone, Kent

Tress stress Something that annoys me intensely when I watch soap operas on television is that women never have a hair out of place, whatever hurricane or harrowing experience they have been through. When I wake up, or go shopping, I rarely look as if I have just had a shampoo and set, nor do the nice people who serve me in shops and cafes. How can anyone identify with Rita in ITV's Coronation Street for instance, or any of the other well-lacquered ladies? Polly Evans East Sheen, London

Granada Television claims you are wrong, Polly. If the occasion calls for it, the female characters in Britain's most famous street appear with their hair suitably mussed up. Rita, they say, is the sort of person who prides herself on looking immaculate, but when Len died, her hair was left untended and, in times of stress, Deirdre and Gail have also had tousled tresses. We try to acknowledge all your letters but regret that we are unable to promise a reply.

Sunday: Mapp & Lucia

Relentless rivals, busy being bitchy by Albc Coleman pictures Ron McFarlane

filling is a pretty, English country town in the Cotswolds; its inhabitants, trailed by tradespeople and domestics, enjoy private incomes and pursue lifestyles of varying pretentions. In this small, backbiting, busybody society, anyone who does not know his provincial place is shown it, pretty sharply. Skies are blue, grass is green, servants abound and if, in 1930, there is a world elsewhere, no one wants to know. It all adds up to Mapp & Lucia, beginning Sunday on Channel Four. At the start, maiden-lady Mapp (Prunella Scales) lives in Tilling. Widowed Lucia (Geraldine McEwan) lives in Riseholme. Then Lucia, with her devoted friend, Georgie (Nigel Hawthorne), moves to Tilling and, with vigorous and high-toned malice, launches herself into violent power-struggles with Mapp. E F Benson, who died in 1940, created Mrs Emmeline Lucas (Lucia) and Miss Elizabeth Mapp. He wrote a lot of novels but only his Lucia books. with unremitting and wildly funny hostilities as their centres, have kept his fan clubs alive from Bangkok to Los Angeles. (The books are currently available in Black Swan paperbacks.) Benson lived at Rye in Sussex And closely,

mercilessly, he observed its small-town absurdities and hypocrisies over the years before reproducing them in his fictitious Tilling. Generous in the face of this spite, Rye today houses the Tilling Society, every member a Benson groupie. Some of Mapp & Lucia was filmed there. Geraldine, Prunella and Hawthorne are all longtime Benson enthusiasts, fascinated by his lively, waspish dialogue, sure that the books cried out to be adapted. Hawthorne once even thought of securing them himself for television. That the characters are less than real was inviting for the kinds of actors who enjoy fleshing out and hunianising parts for themselves. They are,' observes Geraldine, 'so wonderfully eccentric. There's a kind of wicked ruthlessness about everyone. Lucia gets a kick out of being ruthless. And she's quite flirtatious, which is why most people like her. They need her - she's a leader. She and Georgie are terrific friends, but they're terribly competitive.' Lucia may waft elegantly about the place, but it's the waft of a bulldozer. Where Lucia wafts, Mapp waddles. Prunella wants to make it clear that she is wearing 'a great, great deal of padding, if you don't mind'. She reflects on the possible

knock-on effect of playing two dragon ladies in recent years - the other was dear Sybil Fawlty. 'I had a passing scruple, but the temptation was too strong to resist ' Designer Frances Tempest based Mapp's appearance on an old knitting pattern she found in a junk shop. 'It's for the larger lady. It inspired me. In fact, Mapp knits it and wears it. Prunella entered into everything with absolute gusto.' Prunella Scales says that she got 'dreadfully jealous of Gerry's ensembles'. Then, rallying, she announced that her own clothes are pretty lovely, too, 'in their way'. Sure that Tilling would have been five years behind the times, Frances deliberately backdated the women's clothes. Apart from Lucia's slightly artistic and Bohemian wardrobe, in keeping with her view of herself as a liberating spirit, the women in Mapp & Lucia could pass for badly wrapped parcels. Says Frances: 'Fashion drawings then were wonderful. In real life, clothes looked like crumpled heaps.' Not Georgie's. Georgie Pillson's clothes are splendid, with more than a touch of the Edwardian dandy about them, and Hawthorne wears them splendidly. As Frances Tempest points out, there are so many descriptions in the books of what he

Mapp (Prunella Scales, left) and Lucia (Geraldine McEwan), with her close friend Georgie (Nigel Hawthorne), are at the heart of events in Channel Four's 'Mapp & Lucia'. The village fete and Elizabethan pageant offer Lucia (below) a glorious chance to show the villagers how things should be done.

wears, from his little shoulder capes to his pearl-grey gardening gloves to his wondrous hat-retainers, that they had to be right. If Lucia floats and Mapp stumps, apprehensive Georgie often appears to beat a friendly retreat even when advancing. Playing him is a fulfilment for Hawthorne, who had long wanted the part. Although fright is hardly unknown to some of his creations ( Y es Minister's Sir Humphrey has frequently been trapped into displays of terror), they remain positive while fearful. 'Georgie,' says Hawthorne, is not at all positive. That's nice. And a he has a sense of fun. And g. he's loyal to Lucia.' Nigel Pv Hawthorne added that Georgie's anxieties are g familiar territory. Tve played a lot of anxious people.' There are some who believe that, with less leisure, fewer unearned incomes and the change in social values today, societies like Tilling's have gone; others that Benson termed 'lies and swank live on. There are few servants about nowadays to do finely-judged battle with their snobby employers. But, last February, wrapped in a sensible coat and hat against the bitter cold, Mary MacLeod, waiting to do a scene as Diva, was taken for a Rye-dweller and granted a pleasant good evening from two little old ladies passing by. Producer Michael Dunlop declares that exstockbrokers stride around the place in plus-fours, very like Denis Lill's rorty Major Benjy. The high comedy of Mapp & Lucia so impressed David Rose, Channel Four's Head of Drama, that he ordered another series, currently under way. Geraldine McEwan says that to catch a group of people like these oddities in their dayto-day life, with its silly little foibles and pettinesses, should be amusing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like Coronation Street,' she declares with deliberate sweetness. Insufferable Mapp, insufferable Lucia; there is fun to be got from watching insufferable people from a safe distance.

gunshot is fired in a small cabin. Inside are three lifelong friends, Kleber Cantrell, Mack Crawford and T J Luther. One of them is dead, one critically wounded, one suspected of murder. That is the dramatic opening of Celebrity, the blockbuster mini-series, shown on ITV over three nights this week. It is based on the best-selling novel by Thomas Thompson, which brought the author everything he had always chased after money, fame, attention and his little taste of stardom. He became a celebrity himself and openly enjoyed it. Celebrity is packed with just about every soap opera device - and vice imaginable: jealousy, madness, homosexuality, violence, sex, stardom, evangelism and, in a story full of twists of fate, a sensational nail-biting murder trial ending. The scene in the cabin is the bloody outcome of a secret the three 'golden boys' had kept for 25 years. At high school in Texas, where they were known as The Three Princes', a heavy night of drinking had turned to violence with a brutal attack on a teenage girl. As they grew up, and lived out their promise of success, the secret haunted their lives.. . As well as loving the huge billboard advertising the book, and relishing the chat show interviews, Thomas Thompson was amused by his showbusiness friends all vainly trying to find themselves in the complicated plot and fascinating characters. The truth, however, was that Thompson had written more about himself than them. His close friends writers, newspaper people, stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Dinah Shore, Richard Gere and Robert Wagner - can see a little of Thompson in each of the three characters. One friend, top American gossip columnist Liz Smith, said his 6ft 3in shadow was cast over the story of the three young men. The crowning glory for the Texan-born Thompson came soon after the book

hit the best-selling lists in early 1982, when it was bought for TV, something he had hoped for all his books. But such fortune and celebrity came too late for the tough reporter and brilliant, genial giant of a man. By October 1982, he was dead from liver cancer at the age of 49. The parallels between the author and the men in his books are obvious. His character Kleber Cantrell is the prince of power, the born leader, the ambitious boy voted 'most likely to succeed, who becomes a world-famous journalist and scoops everybody with an interview with the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy's assassin. In real-life, Thompson, equally ambitious, made instant journalistic history when he found Marina Oswald after the assassination. There is the 'prince of charms', McKenzie 'Mack' Crawford, voted `most handsome' and 'best allround athlete' at high school, a golden boy who becomes a film sex symbol but who has problems living out that role away from the screen. Thompson, with his dashing screen hero looks - he was once asked to test for the role of James Bond - and the perfect physique, identified with Mack, too, but only up to a point. He was divorced and his long-time, unrequited love was his close friend Natalie Wood. The 'prince of temptation', T J Luther, a smooth-talking, hard-luck hustler, who finds God and ends up as the flamboyant leader of a controversial cult, has a mere watery share of Thompson's shadow. 'But,' says columnist Liz Smith, 'there are traces of him - Tommy always kept some of that snickering, small-town boy, callow humour.' And, of course, there was the flamboyance, the smoothtalking that made Thompson such a welcome guest. Often he would attend White House dinner parties given by Ronald and Nancy Reagan, something the celebrity in him was proud of and the liberal in him half-ashamed. But one thing that would have given him enormous satisfaction is the acclaim

the series received in America. With its steamy Texas milieu and the turbulent gist of it all,' said one critic, 'this is far larger than Dalla's and makes Giant seem positively sedate.' Joseph Bottoms, who plays Mack Crawford, certainly showed some turbulence when he auditioned for the series. He thought he had lost the role, threw a movie star tantrum worthy of Crawford, then apologised when he realised he'd got the job. 'I guess you can see how badly I wanted it,' says Bottoms, one of the four acting brothers (with Timothy, Ben and Sam). Bottoms, 30, handsome, blond, born in California, decided to be an actor at 13 after having a premonition that he would dance on stage with Elizabeth Taylor. Thirteen years later he did just that in the TV movie Return Engagement (1978). He says his life revolves around acting. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Delilah, 40, a producer. They have developed their own film and TV

projects and Bottoms, like his character, Crawford, dreams of stardom. 'I want more than acting and being a pawn - I want to be a filmmaker. This is the first step.' Michael Beck - T J Luther - lost his Deep South accent studying at London's Central School of Speech in the midSeventies and had to spend months learning a Fort Worth dialect. Perfectionist Beck spent five years in British repertory companies after his Central studies, working as a carpenter in his spare time to make ends meet. Returning to America, he co-starred in Madman (1977) with Sigourney Weaver, playing a Russian Jew in Israel who had escaped from a Soviet mental institution; Holocaust; playing Meryl Streep's brother, a vicious Nazi stormtrooper; and then completely changed course to star as Olivia Newton-John's love interest in the musical X anadu (1980). Beck, whose British accent fooled many a

British casting director, is a committed Christian and has a lot to say about faithhealer T J. 'I don't think he was touched by the hand of God. I think he became a faith healer because he saw it as his chance to be a celebrity. I see him as a consummate actor, a performer. The Bible says there will always be false prophets, people who misappropriate God's power. But one bad apple doesn't invalidate everybody and that's the important issue for me. T J is the most radical of the three leads. Physically he goes from a duck-tailed haircut to long hair and his outward personality undergoes an enormous change. 'People may end up liking T J and disliking the fact they do. It's an interesting irony some people may have to wrestle with.' Beck, one of rune children born on an Arkansas farm, lives with his songwriter-actress wife Can and their son Jesse in the Hollywood Hills. Ben Masters, 37, says he 13-19 A pril 1985 Trrilvms

felt like 'a goldfish in a bowl' playing Kleber Cantrell because of the character's. striking resemblance to author Thompson. `So many people on the set had known Tommy personally - it was kind of spooky playing someone people around you knew. I felt they were watching me so closely.' But he swotted for the role by reading all of Thompson's works - his books, that other controversial Texas based, true-life best-seller Blood and • Money, the widely acclaimed Serpentine, and, of course, the many, many major pieces written for Life magazine, including the 'scoop of a lifetime' on Kennedyassassin Oswald Masters, who has the pivotal role which holds events together, had just finished a TV movie with George Peppard eight years ago when a bizarre accident nearly ended his career: he broke his neck in a minor car accident - and didn't know it. 'I went to hospital for X-rays and left because I felt fine. It wasn't until the next day that the hospital checked the X-rays and discovered I had a broken neck what they call a "hangman's neck', which usually leaves you paralysed in both arms and both legs. I was in a thick body cast for two months and swore that if I ever got out of it I'd never worry about anything again.'

Fulton Mackay paints the picture you could win in our competition. competition winner. Mackay, who stars in Channel Four's Mann's Best Friends on Monday, took up painting at the end of the war. Despite plenty of offers he has, until now, resisted the temptation to sell any of his work, though he has given away canvases for charity. This is quite a milestone for me,' he says. 'I felt the time had come when I had to face the reality that I was spending more and more time painting and I had to have the guts actually to sell something. It marks a change in my own attitude. I am in the marketplace now.' In fact, Mackay, who has already enjoyed considerable success as a writer - quite apart from his career as an established actor - says if he had his time again he would be a painter. 'Acting has been terrific. I have loved the trade, the joy and the skill of it very much. But if the Buddhists and the Hindus are right about reincarnation, I am getting ready to be a painter next time around.' Mackay, encouraged by a man he had met in the Army during the war, began with watercolours but soon changed to oils. 'You need great nervous accuracy for watercolours and I do not have that because I cannot draw well enough. Oils, I think, are more sensual, more emotional.' Born in Paisley in Scotland, Mackay first moved to London in 1958. Out of work much of the time, he attended daytime painting classes and in the evening he wrote. 'I have had five continued overpage

'Writing is wonderful, of course, but I would still prefer to be a painter. The traumas of writing are far worse.' Mackay's career as an actor has been richly varied. He was the beachcomber in the acclaimed British film Local Hero and, more recently, played a dissolute priest in the film W ater with Michael Caine. On TV he was the lighthouse keeper in Fraggle Rock and played a Scottish tycoon in the series The Foundation. But he knows that the general public continues to see him straight-backed, pedantic and eternally uniformed. 'My popular image, of course, is Mr Mackay in Porridge. I owe a great deal to that popularity and it would be stupid to duck that.' Mr Ordway, the character he plays in Mann's Best Friends, was a Metropolitan Water Board inspector until redundancy caught up with him. 'Ordway is pernickety, fussy, correct, very establishment-minded - and absolutely useless,' Stewart Knowles says Fulton Mackay.

EFriday: Home to Roost AMMIWOMM"

tasisMW ,-

Mellow fellow by Brian Whittle he most popular on-screen image of John Thaw is undoubtedly that of a fast-living, two-fisted man's man. ITV's The Sweeney provided him with that foundation, as his craggy features and deeply-hooded eyes struck fear into the hearts — and put bruises on the bodies — of a whole posse of screen villains. But family life slows down and mellows many a man, and the time can come when he is no longer much of an aggressor at all — more of a victim. And that is close to the role that Thaw has chosen in the new Friday evening ITV comedy series . Home to Roost, which comes from the subtle pen of Eric (Rising Damp) Chappell. 'I like doing something new and different,' says Thaw of his dramatic change of pace. 'It's good to ring the changes and I won't do rubbish.' He settles back contentedly, lights a cigarette and sips a vodka and tonic. 'I regard myself as very lucky in rarely being out of work,' he says. But I get offered plenty of scripts I don't like and I turn them down. I'd rather weed the garden. . uttering in his next breath that he doesn't like weeding the garden at all. With The Sweeney still being repeated all over the world (including here) he seems a permanent part of the television furniture. In fact, it's been more than a year since the grey-haired Thaw — 'I was born looking 50' — did any television work at all. What he likes to do is divide his working time between television and the theatre. And in the final part of the new series he gets to work for the first time on ITV with his actress wife Sheila Hancock. Home to Roost presents him as Henry Willows, a middle-aged divorced man, something in management, who lives a happily uncomplicated, quiet bachelor life. Then, out of the blue, appears 18-year-old son Matthew

TVTIMES 13-19 A pril 1985

John Thaw relaxes at home (above), and (from left, below) is seen in three recent roles: as a murder suspect in 'W here Is Betty Buchus?' (1982); as a murderer's target in 'K iller W aiting', with Diane K een (1984); and, also last year as the reporter-hero of 'Mitch'.

(Reece Dinsdale), who doesn't like Mum's new boyfriend and decides to move in with Dad for a bit. The conflict between them is the key to the comedy. 'Just like any 18-year-old, Matthew starts challenging the old man about everything; his attitudes to life, the fact that he's stuck in a bit of a rut,' says Thaw. He admits to some parallels between Home to Roost fantasy and private-life reality. He says that his daughters, Melanie, 21, and Abigail, 19, have already directed a fair share of adolescent anxiety towards poor old Dad. 'Tell me a parent who hasn't had conflict situations,' he says with a world-weary sigh. 'But we've always tried to reason things out. We may have fallen out from time to time but I'm glad to say we are all very close.' Melanie, currently at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, has obviously delighted the Thaws by choosing a stage career. 'We've not tried to influence her in any way,' says her father. 'We both believe in the youngsters making their own way in the world.' The real John Thaw, although capable of such on-screen extrovertion, is a quiet, self-contained man off-screen, one who long ago discovered his own confidence. He admits to getting bored easily and doesn't suffer fools gladly. But there's an inherent niceness, that man's manliness that few fail to appreciate. Like many a big star, he went through the mill in his early days. He was so broke when he first came to London from Manchester as a raw 16year-old who lied about his age to get into drama school, that he lived off cheese rolls — 'one every other day'. In those first days, he shared a flat — and an electric model racing track— with a couple of other struggling but hopeful young actors. . . Nicol Williamson and Tom Courtenay.

CHICKEN NORMANDE Serves 4

I I I I I

ACTRESS Rosalyn Landor, now adventuring on ITV as Pm Standfast of C.A.T.S. Eyes, loves spectacular dishes with dramatic flambeeing. So much so, she's seriously beginning to think she's a closet pyromaniac! She says there's something fascinating about the spluttering and sizzling of flambêeing, and one of her favourites is a speedy dish of whole prawns, flashed into hot garlic butter. A glass of brandy is poured over and quickly ignited to burn off the alcohol. Then you eat the prawns with your fingers — the butter running down your chin. Rosalyn used to be a dancer and recently joined a gym to keep supple. It banned alcohol and red meat and since then, she says, she eats like a horse and still keeps slim. Often she's so hungry by the middle of morning rehearsals, say, she'll rush out for a snack to bridge the gap to lunchtime. This recipe, she says, is for one of those fabulous friendly dishes you can completely trust to be a dinner party winner.

TVTimes, in association with Gulf Leisure International, is giving you the chance to become the owner for the next 20 years of a luxurious twobedroom, two-bathroom villa on the beautiful Quinta da Marinha estate, near Cascais, on the Portuguese Estoril coast — a prize worth more than £12,000. This new development of high-quality villas and golf course is built beside the ocean. Spacious detached villas, which accommodate up to six people each, are fully equipped to the highest standards. Occupants have full use of the estate's excellent sporting facilities: swimming pools, tennis courts, equestrian centre and Quinta da Marinha's showpiece, the new 18-hole championship-length golf course, designed by the renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones. Entertainment in the area ranges from the famous Estoril casino to the nightclubs and fish restaurants of Cascais. The Portuguese capital, Lisbon, is just 30 minutes drive away, and the ancient town of Sintra, with its fairytale palace, is also not far. Our winner will be able to choose any two peak-time weeks at a woodland villa on the estate, subject to availability. The timeshare units at Quinta da Marinha are established on the

basis of a 20-year right to use, with a unique Gulf-share to look forward to. At the end of the 20year-tern, the trustees of the development will sell the properties and the net sales proceeds will be distributed proportionately among all the timeshare owners, including our winner. In addition, this magnificent prize will include, for the first holiday only, four return business-class air tickets from London to Lisbon with Air Portugal, the country's national airline, and the use of an Avis self-drive hired car. The £95per-week management charges, which include the right for up to four occupants of each villa to play golf free, will also be included for the first year. And, because Quinta da Marinha is linked to Interval International, an exchange network for timeshare owners, our winner can swap his or her time slot' with any of the 450 other developments, including Gulf Leisure's own villas at Aloha Marbella, on Spain's Costa del Sol, Penina, in the Algarve, or Broome Park, near Canterbury, Kent.

Katie Boyle's Eight Deadly Sins

Dangers of lust D • • plus Katje'spwn deadly sun

Gluttony

Last week, in the first part of her special series, Katie Boyle looked at the deadly sins of Pride and Envy. Here and overpage, she focuses on Lust — and its terrible consequences for the young and not-so-young— and Gluttony, a sin close to her heart.

Lust

When in New York with my late husband, Greville, we always attended parties in a foursome with a famous matinee idol and his film star wife. My friend from childhood, she exuded sex Her appetite for men was legendary. At one gathering, she clasped my arm and, surveying the room, purred: Tye slept with at least 75 per cent of the men here, darling.' She would have been genuinely disappointed had this not been the case. To lust was as natural to her as breathing. As with the other deadly TVTIMES 13-19 April 1985

sins, lust is part of our makeup. If we are healthy and normal, we are affected by it. At its best, the sexual drive adds a joyful spice to a caring relationship. A good sex life can be the greatest fun and pleasure, and a couple who enjoy their lovemaking in the early days have a priceless bond for later on in their lives. When the body is no longer virile, but the memory bank is full of past joys, cuddles and hugs with a dear partner can still be deeply satisfying. • When I was growing up, there was a degree of mystery about sex. But now the taboos are swept away,

and you need only glance at a newspaper to find sensational rubbish about sexual athletics, or pictures that leave nothing to the imagination. 'What has happened to love?' I want to scream back at them. Throwing away traditional puritanical corsets has brought new problems. Total licence does not mean total satisfaction. Promiscuity dulls the palate. 'I feel sorry for studs, both male and female,' the muchlusted-after Lynsey de Paul told me recently. 'They suddenly wake up in their mid-30s and find their senses so blunted they can no longer distinguish

between lust and love. Then, when their emotions become involved, they have difficulty functioning physically.' Physical satisfaction between lovers is important, but so is tender loving care. My Dear Katie mailbag is full of letters from unhappy women who have never been shown any tenderness in bed, and I feel sad for children brought up in a home where the adults show no outward affection. I deeply believe in the power of a kiss, a stroke on the arm, or a hug. Most distressing of all are letters from children who have been victims of lust — molested in their own

homes. Thank God, there are places to which they can now turn and not feel so isolated. I do not envy the young growing up in the Eighties. When physical urges are at their strongest, and their experience at its most limited, they are expected to be responsible. Sexual experimentation is normal and, whatever we think about it, we cannot stop it. But the crude physical act alone cannot be satisfying, so it is natural they should try again— and again— with someone new. The vulnerable bear the scars for life. As adults, they will continued overpage

continued from page 17 probably equate sexual freedom with happiness. Marriage, and all it entails between two partners, becomes a boring business. They write to me, asking if I think a change of partner will alter their lives. I am very wary. Never be in too much of a hurry to discard a steady partner because the grass looks a touch more emerald over the fence. Some of the saddest couples I ever met were neighbours of mine in London. Each Friday was husband-and-wifeswapping night. The degradation endured by these brittle pairs and their heartless auctioneers was as dangerous as it was unsavoury. Within four years, they were all divorced. To be loyal to someone you love will always be of great importance, and it builds up a lasting relationship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be faithful, perhaps not so, A brief volcanic affair, outside or before marriage, is best kept under wraps. Why burden a loved one with your guilt? This is the height of selfishness. Your punishment is to live with 'the crime'. Lie if you have to. I don't usually advocate it as a policy, but small white ones, which are told to keep the affectionate pot simmering, can be much kinder than the brutal truth.

Choice at Yorkshire Television, I decided that both he and I must have hollow legs. When I was modelling and appearing more regularly on television, I had a greater incentive to stay slim. In 1951, when chosen as one of four fashion models to represent Britain in Australia, I slimmed to 8st 81b and my waist measured 21 inches. I still have photographs to prove it. Then I discovered a

face or a broader beam and a smoother complexion! One of the incentives is the pictures of my father I keep at hand, both as a slim young bridegroom and the gross mountain of flesh he became before he died at 63. These do help my will power if I force myself to look at them. But my confusing love-hate relationship with him reminds me how well he cooked, and I still find myself trying to fill my

I r,

by emotional problems that go far beyond their weight. Thank goodness they can now be helped to establish new eating patterns if they will only ask for help. As a self-confessed glutton without emotional problems, I admit to having double standards. I get cross with people who drink too much or take drugs. My excuse is that these indulgences are more likely to destroy the people who love them, whereas gluttons only harm themselves. I don't have much sympathy for another kind of glutton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the glutton for punishment. The harm they suffer is usually selfinflicted and the remedy in their own hands, But what I can't stand is that they pass it off as martyrdom. My final confession for this week is that I am a glutton for work, imagining that I can elasticise the hours of the day as I did 20 years ago. I cannot pace myself, and must be the most exhausting person to live with, though my dear husband Peter denies it. I seem to go into overdrive and cannot drop into a lower gear. I fail to realise I can no longer mend the fish pond pump, feed the birds, take the dogs for a walk, visit a friend in hospital across London, stock up at the supermarket, dictate dozens of letters and be fresh as a daisy to go to the theatre in the evening! Eventually the internal pressures build up, the gasket blows, and I have to sleep the day through to re-charge the batteries. What foolish behaviour, Fortunately, Peter is sympathetic as he was once that way himself, never wearing a watch as he worked round the clock and maintaining that he did not marry until he was 48 because he did not have time to be a good husband. Nevertheless, I do try to unwind at the weekends, and have promised I will answer no more Dear Katie letters on Sunday. As for my diet, as soon as I've typed this, it's a small tub of cottage cheese and an apple for lunch. But the remains of last night's apricot crumble is in the fridge and that could be my undoing... -

Gluttony

While standing next to a groaning food table at a buffet lunch recently, I heard a deep sigh behind me. It was actress Judi Dench. 'If I so much as look at a sausage roll I put on weight,' she said. 'If I even wink at a waffle, I do the same,' I replied. What is so unfair is that Judi has a small appetite. I, alas, have no such excuse. Gluttony is my personal deadly sin and, as I also have a sweet tooth, I have the greatest difficulty controlling it. I am always on some diet or other and my weight goes up and down like a yo-yo. I had less trouble abstaining from fattening food in the Bahamas, where I have just been on holiday, as

the fruit was so good. But last year, on a once-in-alifetime trip on the OrientExpress, I guzzled my way across Europe. As we all like offloading blame for our weaknesses, I am sure my parents started me on the greedy path by comforting me with sweets and chocolates when their rowing made me cry. Even now, in moments of stress, I turn to a generous bowl of cereal topped up with cream and

demerara, then avoid fulllength mirrors because I know I look bloated. The awful thing is that I feel no shame as I shovel the food in. It is only when I see those appalling pictures of famine victims that my guilt curbs my spoon. I'm sure all we gluttons feel the same. As I watched my rolypoly colleague Russell Grant tuck into his second cooked breakfast within minutes of his first, when we were recording Star

milk-shake bar in Sydney, right outside the first store in which we showed clothes. After each exhausting day, I was drawn to it, rather like an alcoholic to drink. Before long, I was reinforcing the strained seams with my own needle and thread. Now, my vanity decreases with age and the reassurance from Barbara Gartland that one must choose between a slender figure and a lined

friends with pasta and other Italian treats as a sign of affection for them. With Papa's example before me, you would think I would be beanpole thin. But, you see, I also tell myself there is something reassuring about the cuddly frame of middle-age. As a child, I never turned to my spindly aunts for comfort. Comfort eating is now recognised as a sign of stress, and compulsive eaters are usually beset

Monster munch EVEN Frankenstein's monster must eat! The strange sight on the right was captured by TVTirnes photographer Roderick Ebdon in the canteen at Yorkshire Television. Enough to put fellow diners off their grub. Under the make-up is actor Mark Withal', all dolled up for a forthcoming production called Sunny Hayes and Co. Mark, 22, who earns what he describes as a Yneagre living' from walk-on parts,

says: 'I felt a bit stupid sitting in the canteen with all my monster gear on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention hot and very uncomfortable. But I was asked if I'd mind keeping my make-up on over lunch

as it had taken hours of skill and effort to get me to look like that' Mark says he is only on screen for a few minutes. 'I hope it turns out to be worth all the trouble.'

Return to Sherwood

WHEN Robin Hood first rode through the glen heavily disguised as Richard Greene, an 11-yearold with a drama school accent made a guest appearance as a peasant boy. His name was Jeremy Bulloch. His name is still Jeremy Bulloch, and on Saturday, blessed with a few grey hairs, as you might detect above, he appears again in the current Robin of Sherwood as Edward the village elder. 'I've loved the Robin Hood tales since my childhood,' says Bulloch, and was thrilled to appear with Richard Greene [pictured inset in his Fifties heyday]. When I heard they were making a new series, I wrote to the producer and asked if I could be in it.' As village elder, he is Robin's ally and of great importance to the peasants. 'All the villagers look on me as a great sage and wit, which is quite gratifying,' he says. You have to remember that 40 was ancient in those days.' The Bulloch tradition of appearances in stories of Robin Hood is not destined to end with Jeremy. His son Robbie, 12, has a walk-on debut in the current series, with an eye on who-knows-what production in 20 years' time. Watch this space.. . TVTIMES 13-19 A pril 1985

IF SKIRTS ever return to the miniscule proportions of the Sixties, the world of fashion will lose one of its greatest ambassadors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Princess Diana Miniskirts would force her to abdicate her leadership of young trends and settle for a more staid image. This prediction is based on research done by TVam's Royal Watcher Debbie Puttnam who, while putting together a feature for May on fashionable royals through the ages, found that a similar fate had befallen the late Queen Mary. 'Queen Mary was wonderfully well dressed,' she says. 'Her gowns and hats set the fashion for Europe. But in the Twenties, when flappers came into fashion and skirts shot up, her husband refused to let her shorten her hems. As a result, she began to look fuddy-duddy. although she was only in her early 30s,' Royals, it seems, cannot accommodate the saucier fashions. But Princess Diana has probably got nothing to worry about The evidence suggests that skirts get short when the country is doing well In times of economic depression, skirts stay well below the knee.

'Must fly' says busy Freddie SEEING DADDY off to work is the most exciting event of the day for Donna, 10, and Jody, five, children of whirlwind comedian Freddie Starr. For Daddy, presently engaged in touring with his own show, travels to work by helicopter. 'It's an extravagant way to travel,' says Freddie, 'and it may sound a bit flash, but I like to get home to my family in the evenings. If I was relying on traditional forms of transport, I'd be spending three months a year in hotels'. Freddie is learning to fly a helicopter and, if he gets his pilot's licence, he plans to buy his own whirlybird.

for athletics THE RANK Xerox 10kilometre series final, round Battersea Park, London, which is featured in World of Sport on Saturday, is an early taste of the fruits of a whopping £10-5 million athletics contract wrested from the BBC by executives of ITV Sport. The contract means that ITV has exclusive rights to televise British athletics events for the next five years. As well as homegrown stars such as Seb Coe, Steve Cram, Steve Ovett, Wendy Sly and Tessa Sanderson, events will include Carl Lewis, winner of four gold medals at the Los Angeles

Olympics, America's middle-distance star Mary Slaney (née Decker) and Said Aouita, 5000 metres champ from Morocco. Executive producer Richard Russell says: 'It's an enormous challenge. Transmissions vary from weekends to bank holidays and peak-time Friday evening slots. All programmes will be presented from venue — and that means no studio back-up. It's an exciting, although highly complex, way forward.' A new and larger commentary team will be led by Alan Parry, top soccer commentator and radio athletics man.

Short takes James meets a movie legend KATHARINE HEPBURN, all of 75, opened the door to Clive James in her exercise suit. She had, she explained, just stepped off a keep-fit bike. James, and a film-crew, had flown to New York to capture the exclusive interview you can see on Channel Four on Saturday in Clive James Meets Katharine Hepburn (portly journalist meets spritely legend, above). Inside her old brownstone home, Katharine was brisk but courteous to her guests. Little trace of that famous waspish personality; no impertinent questions from Clive James. The film crew had rearranged the room in which the interview took place to accommodate their equipment. Up came the carpet, into the corner went the furniture. When it was all over, Katharine Hepburn was down on her kees ... rolling back the carpet.

Clive James Meets Katharine Hepburn

SATURDAY Celebrity The mini-series' is not the domain of ordinary people. In any miniseries, characters are passionate, motivated by a singular emotion — greed, love, possibly vengeance, never the simple desire to earn a bob or two and live the quiet life. ITV's Celebrity, a three-parter showing tonight, tomorrow and Monday, is based on a novel by ace American journalist Thomas Thompson, and one of the central three characters is an ace journalist, too. Another is a faith healer played by Michael Beck (above, left, with Claude Akins) and, of course, life is never dull. The mini-series, needless to say, is an American invention, a term coined in 1976 to describe the series Rich Man, Poor Man. ITV's film buyer, Leslie Halliwell, sees the mini-series as a continuous story, stretched over several hours, and normally based on a book'. He cites Roots and Holocaust as classics of the genre. The problem is, says Halliwell, that if we miss the first

MONDAY Mann's Best Friends Among the many and varied occupants of the disorganised house that is the setting for Mann's Best Friends, on Channel Four, you will recognise Patricia Brake. Though not one of the six Chinese waiters in the house, she does, in her own way, provide a service. Patricia plays Dolly Delights, who claims to be a drama tutor, giving private lessons in her room. Alas, the stream of men beating a path to her door suggests she is a member of an older, less honourable, profession. 'We're never quite sure,' says Patricia of Dolly. 'She is quite innocent really, but we only ever see her in her underwear, never properly dressed.' Patricia adds that Dolly is careful about her looks, if not about her dress.. .

TVTIMES 13-19 April 1985

It was the acting of Katharine Hepburn that once prompted American writer Dorothy Parker to remark: 'She ran the whole gamut of emotions from A to B.' That was one quip Ms Parker would have lived, had she lived, to regret. Katharine Hepburn, 75 last November, has now run the gauntlet of life from A to Z and is a glorious survivor of old Hollywood. Shortly after her birthday she overcame a timehonoured distrust of interviews and allowed Clive James and ITV into her Manhattan home. The conversation, for the first time on television, gradually penetrated her protective barrier. She spoke frankly about her cherished relationship with Spencer Tracy, and James elicited revealing comments about old age and death, among other things. One imagines he might have approached his subject with uncharacteristic reverence. But no, says producer Nicholas Barrett, 'Clive was absolutely himself. It was just two intelligent people conversing about all sorts of things.'

TUESDAY

SUNDAY Bullseye • Tonight's guests are the Krankies, and that means there'll be a guaranteed audience of at least 9000 little people. Not that Bullseye, a popular ITV show, is in need of extra viewers. But that won't stop the 9000 members of little Jimmy's Gang Club looking in. Doubtless they'll be wearing the club badges, T-shirts and other sundries they've acquired from the Coventry based club. Merchandising — as the sale of such stuff is called — is a very big business these days. For the Krankies' fan club, though, it's no business at all, because all profits go to children's charities. Bullseye helps keep charities afloat, too. However, Jimmy's gang will be worrying less about that and more about how Jimmy — a mere 4ft 51/2in — is going to reach the dartboard, let alone the bullseye.

Mapp & Lucia It is said that E F Benson wrote 'six or seven dozen' books of complete inconsequence before embarking, at the age of 53, on the wonderfully comic stories Mapp & Lucia, now dramatised in five parts for Channel Four. Sixty years ago, Benson created the fictional Cotswolds village of

World Championship Boxing

Arthur C Clarke's World of Strange Powers

Tonight, on ITV, undisputed World Middleweight Boxing Champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler defends his title against Thomas Hearns. Hagler's last opponent was Mustafa Hamsho, flattened ignominiously in the third round, last October. Hagler's message to Hearns then was: 'Let's get it on, I'm ready.' Raised on the streets of Newark, New Jersey, Hagler was a fighter years before he entered the ring. Perhaps to pre-empt the hyperbole of sports hacks, he then had 'Marvelous' legally added to his name. Hagler, 30, and World Champion for five years, once said he would retire at 35. 'I'll walk away a rich man. Don't worry about the old age of Marvin Hagler.'

It was over a cup of tea at Yorkshire Television in 1979 that producer Simon Welfare persuaded sci-fi doyen Arthur C Clarke to lend his name and his knowledge to a television series. Then we were invited into Clarke's Mysterious W orld; now he has turned his attention to some of life's less explicable phenomena. Clarke approaches it all with the analytical mind of the scientist, balanced by a readiness to believe the unbelievable. He is 67 and, says Welfare, knows a disconcerting amount about any given topic, We would say to him, 'We want to make a programme about extra sensory perception (the subject of tonight's episode) and he would immediately offer a fund of stories and experiences.' Clarke pops up frequently during this new ITV series, at a variety of glorious locations near his Sri Lankan home.

Tilling, and chronicled a brittle and insular middle-class world peopled by pretentious suburbanites whose gentility disguised a devastating brutality. Chief among these posturing schemers were the good ladies Lucia (Geraldine McEwan, above) and Miss Elizabeth Mapp, together with Georgie Pillson, who was prone to find life 'rather tarsome'. The original stories have just been republished in paperback: Mapp and Lucia, Lucia's Progress and Trouble for Lucia are available from the Black Swan imprint of Corgi Books, price £2.95.

Street Hawk

Home to Roost

It's a funny thing that although the star — the man, not the machine — of ITV's Street Hawk was once a pop idol, he looks even more outrageous now than he did in his singing days. This, of course, has much to do with the all black get-up, leather clad from neck to toe, sported by Rex Smith as he goes crime busting on his super-charged superbike. Otherwise, Smith now seems a world away from the pretty young chap with the long blond locks who found chart success in the late Seventies with the song You Take My Breath Away. Smith said then that his hero was swashbuckler Errol Flynn, and, eventually, he found himself swashbuckling, too, on the Broadway stage in The Pirates of Penzance. Now he's Jesse Mach in Street Hawk, and with a bike like that, who needs a sword?

Until he was 23, Eric Chappell was something to do with accounts at the Electricity Board. As office life wore thin, Chappell wrote a play which became the series Rising Damp, and launched one of the most successful situation-comedy writing careers in television. You can sample his latest work, Home to Roost, tonight on ITV. Alas, he has come full circle. Prolific writers need a base, and for Chappell that base is an office above a solicitor's in his home town, Grantham. Between puffs on a pipe, he speculates that perhaps he is a frustrated office worker after all. 'But I don't wear a tie.' And there's no one to tell him to put one on, either. He prefers to think of his art as character comedy rather than sit-corn. 'Too many writers worry about finding an original situation. I think the key lies in the characters. After that it's just the way you tell 'em.'

FRIDAY 12 APRIL The Black Torment

TUESDAY Intimate Agony

10,30pm-12.5am A nicely nightmarish horror-thriller, set in the 18th century, on a split personality theme. Ann Lynn is outstanding. 1964

A series of TV movies on social issues kicks off with a no-nonsense examination of genital herpes. All is not well at Paradise Isle, a dream resort where 'not even the cockroaches eat (or sleep) alone'. Robert Vaughn gives a strong backbone performance as the island's property developer, under pressure and, determined to drive out herpes sufferers (unaware that his own daughter has contracted the disease) before it reaches epidemic proportions. Director Paul Wendkos milks every conceivable angle in what is, more-or-less, a glossilypackaged public service film, made to counter hysteria and promote understanding of the disease in the US. Fans of St Elsewhere, on Channel Four, will spot Mark Harmon (plastic surgeon Dr Robert Caldwell) as the local tennis coach and TVM 1983 stud.

This engaging yarn is something of an in-joke on the film industry. Several stars and directors appear as themselves in a wild story about two would-be film-makers hanging around the Edinburgh Film Festival in search of backers. Alan Bennett scores heavily in one of his rare before-the-camera appearances as an absentminded doctor who prescribes Meals on Wheels for an anxiety neurosis. 1978

Opm-3.45pm Thought at one time to be a lost film, this is an impressively-set first sound version (there had been several silents) of Rider Haggard's yarn about a legendary, ageless female ruler of a city situated in Africa in the book, but here transferred to the Arctic. Excellent photography by J Roy Hunt and music by Max Steiner help stir up atmosphere you can almost grasp. The title role is played by Helen Gahagan, who later married Melvyn Douglas, and became a Congresswoman. This was her only film role. 1935

WEDNESDAY Ghost Story

PTV

Even the heroic Douglas Fairbanks Jnr gets the shivers by what is revealed in the W ednesday horror film 'Ghost Story'.

Interesting to compare the effects with the similarlystyled The Incredible Shrinking Man, Albert Dekker is splendidly sinister as the scientist, and there are some suspenseful shock moments, notably the group's efforts to train a rifle on their sleeping tormentor, and the nailbiting climax. Directed by Ernest B Schoedsack, codirector of the first King Kong. 1940

SUNDAY Anzio 3.30pm-5.25pm A big Italian-American coproduction based on the famous Wynford Vaughan-

Thomas book on the subject and how decisions were allegedly taken in 1944 that cost thousands of Allied lives. The screenplay takes an hour or so to get down to brass tacks but then enlivens the film with a dangerous passage through a minefield and a sharp shootout between snipers before the moral is brought home (and not overstated either). 1967

The Man at the Carlton Tower 11.35pm-I2.35am This taut Edgar Wallace thriller about a disappearing crook is a real gem for those who like to indulge in the game

of spotting the stars before they were famous. There's Nigel Green, as the criminal; Nyree Dawn Porter, the enchantress of Never a Cross Word and The Forsyte Saga, and Alfred Burke, who portrays Green's former partner-in-crime. 1962

The plot has more loose ends than apparitions, which is going some, but the four old smoothies, Astaire especially, see it through. 1981

The Drayton Case

THE REPUTATION of most writers sinks after their death, usually to rise again some 20 years later when a new generation discovers their virtues. Somerset Maugham could scarcely have been more popular during his lifetime — with all classes of reader — but since his death in 1965 his work has tended to seem slightly stuffy and old-fashioned. Although the films made from such novels as The Painted Veil (1934), The Moon and Sixpence (1942) and The Razor's Edge (1946) maintain most of their original appeal, it has to be conceded that Maugham, was a selfadmitted snob with a waspish sense of humour. He was also homosexual, which may explain why his male characters were often non-entities and his female ones much larger than life. He was, however, a great yarn-spinner, and

•

this is evidenced in his short stories, about half of which were derived from his travel in the Far East. In the late Forties, when he was a household name, three film compendiums were made of his stories set in Europe — Quartet (1948), Trio (1950) and Encore (1951). And Maugham, despite his stutter, introduced them all himself. Channel Four is reviving them, starting next Sunday with Quartet, and it may well be that their all-star casts and studio polish will lead to a reappraisal of Maugham. Oddly enough, almost every story had to have a new twist ending supplied by R C Sherriff, who wrote the screenplays. Maugham liked to leave the fates of his characters to the imagination, whereas film audiences of the time liked to know exactly what happened.

Soon to be seen on Channel Four — Somerset Mangham films 'Trio' (top), 'Quartet' (centre) and 'Encore'.

Brother Arthur PrePa ye to say

Brothers Arthur W hite (left) and David Jason in the ITV comedy series 'A Sharp Intake of Breath'.

Sour gram- is lts-t c ip of tea FRANCES COX (pictured below) is quite happy to describe herself using a string of derogatory phrases such as ragman's reject' or 'Dracula's grandmother. 'rm a real sour-puss, the one they cast for off-beat eccentric parts, not sweet old ladies,' she says. Sour or not, Frances is back on ITV in The

Practice, on Sundays and Fridays, as tea lady Sheila Jessop, who left the health centre in disgrace after spreading some confidential medical information and has been restored to her job because her replacement couldn't brew a good cup of tea. Frances chuckles at the storyline. 'I'm actually a hopeless teamaker and probably the worst cook in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except for my Yorkshire puddings.' Frances is 72, and lives in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with her 78year-old husband, a retired miner. For more than 40 years she was a schoolteacher by day and an actress by night, and didn't become entirely dependent on acting until she retired from the classroom in 1972, aged 59. Frances explains: 'I taught at several Yorkshire schools, and worked in weekly repertory companies in the evening. Television brought her 'character face' to the fore and, in addition to plays, she has regularly appeared in comedy roles with Ronnie Barker and Hinge and Brackett. Nothing is too unusual for her talents. 'I have just taken a part as a crane driver in another ITV series,' she says.

THE END seems near for Kevin Banks (David Moran) in Crossroads. Banks just hasn't made the grade as a sportswear salesman, and this week his boss John Latchford (played by Arthur White) gives him the sack (see right). Latchford himself is taken down a few pegs, too, for his romance with Kath Brownlow has run into trouble. White who, like Moran, is soon to leave the series,

is actually the brother of Only Fools and Horses actor David Jason, below right. White is the family name,' explains Arthur. 'David had to change to Jason as there was another David White in acting.' Arthur, the elder by seven years, has appeared alongside his brother on ITV, in the hit series A Sharp Intake of Breath, and has had occasional solo ventures into TV comedy.

Dirty deeds of Rita's friendly policeman

An off-duty drink in the Rovers for Sgt Cunliffe (Jack Can) and Rita Fairclough (Barbara K nox).

Bi9 dclY for the brains of the bar-room

THE LAST words Coronation Street's merry widow Rita Fairclough heard from her very friendly policeman, Sgt Tony Cunliffe, were: .rn be round the corner if you want me.' Luckily Rita has had no need to call a copper so far. For actor Jack Can, who plays Cunliffe, has been up to his eyeballs in mud down on the Norfolk marshes, filming a television drama, Seal Morning. About a baby seal and its adventures after losing its mother, it will be seen on ITV later in the year. 'I do the dirty deed of shooting the seal's mother,' confesses Can. Can is also on screen on ITV at the moment in Emmerdale Farm, playing the part of Tom Merrick, newly-released from prison after serving time for a poaching offence. 'Merrick is a pretty unpleasant character, but I think viewers will soon find he is mellowing,' says Can. 'Cunliffe was really the Street stud while he was the lodger of Rovers Return barmaid Betty Turpin. But I doubt if Rita would recognise him now. I have had to have my hair shorn to suit the Thirties period in which the seal film is set.' In addition to playing Merrick, Can is continuing his 'wicked ways' in a theatre tour of a murder mystery called Deadlock 'Naturally, I'm the murderer,' he says.

THIS IS the week Coronation Street quiz fans have been waiting for. It's eyes down for the Brainiest Pub competition, with the Rovers Return lining up against the Dockers Arms. Since I first mentioned the contest, some unkind

viewers have written to suggest that Bet Lynch may as well throw in her beer-stained towel before the first question is posed, and few give Ken Barlow's team any chance. But don't be too sure. Word has it that it's a real nail-biter of a final.

Indigestion? Don't just stop the discomforthelp your digestion, too!

✓

9tI

OUR stomach is a marvellous machine, able to digest meat and other proteins without digesting itself. In health, its protective lining easily withstands the carefully regulated amount of acid digestion juice which it produces. When you get indigestion, it is because this perfect balance has been upset. Perhaps you have eaten or drunk something which irritates the stomach lining or perhaps simply eaten too much or too little in one day. Hasty meals and too much rushing about can upset the timing programme of your stomach. Even worry and anger can aggravate the condition. At these times, digestive juices penetrate the protective lining and attack the stomach wall, or excess acid may pass into the small intestine and cause distress or flatulence. Sometimes, especially when the stomach is full, the acid juices may flow back into your gullet and cause heartburn. What you need on these occassions is something to neutralise that excess acid and give the stomach time to recover its ability to protect itself. BiSoDoL' Antacid Digestant is a first-class answer to this problem. The balanced formula of different antacids in BiSoDoL gives rapid and lasting relief of acid irritation, gaseous discomfort and heartburn. It also contains the enzyme Diastase which breaks down starch to aid digestion. BiSoDoL is available as either tablets or powder, according to your preference. As countless sufferers already know, BiSoDoL really settles indigestion.

❑ Saturday: Winston Churchill The Wilderness Years

inston Churchill would have been delighted with the dramatic way in which Robert Hardy, the man who brings him to life again on TV this week, reacted on the morning when calamity threatened his home. Heavy snow, weighing down branches, looked like snapping off the tops of scores of fine tall trees that ring HardYs garden, high in the beechwood hills of Oxfordshire. He acted quickly. Grabbing a 12-bore shotgun, he ran to an upstairs window and systematically fired along the trees. Result: snow came tumbling down from the branches and most of the trees were saved. It was a typically dashing Hardy gesture, Like Churchill, whom he plays in W inston Churchill — The W ilderness Years on Channel Four for the next eight Saturdays, he is a man of great enthusiasms. Trees are one of his loves and they had to be saved. Where he differs from Churchill is in his attitude to the rest of the garden At Chartwell, Churchill's Kentish home, where much of the series first screened in 1981, was filmed, the grounds were, and still are, immaculately maintained With Hardy the passion is for animals rather than ornamental plants and he admits to a split personality about gardens like most men,' he says, 'I have an enormous admiration for orderly gardens, with everything in its place, growing perfectly... deep clear edges to flower beds .. smooth, weed-free lawns, . clipped hedges... But how can you have all that and animals running free at the same time? You cannot, of course. So the garden of Robert Hardy, CBE, who, alongside ma ssive stage, film and TV commitments finds time to be a hard-working trustee of the World Wildlife Fund, is magnificently carefree, rather than immaculately cared for. But not without some domestic friction His wife Sally is fond of conventional gardening and used to keep the place in colourful good order. Now she has given up. 'Can't say I blame her,' Hardy comments, gesturing rVTIMES 13-19 A pril 1985

Actor Robert Hardy may be his owner, but Campbell the peacock rules the roost at Hardy's Oxfordshire country house, where he's leader of a menagerie of birds. Hardy keeps a stiff upper lip, as befits the role he plays on Saturday, right, as Britain's greatest statesman, W inston Churchill.

At home with the Lord of the Peacocks towards a couple of guinea fowl taking a dust bath together in what was once a lavender bed One of Robert Hardy's great enthusiasms is breeding what he considers to be an especially good strain of peafowl The stud among them is a handsome peacock called Campbell, given his name because, although I bred him here, he is of Scottish ancestry and anyway, I was playing Sir Malcolm Campbell on TV when he arrived'. As a father, Campbell has proved no slouch. He started off with two wives, both of Welsh extraction and named, therefore, Sian and Gwynneth The family has grown ..

and grown .. and there are now 16 peacocks and hens of varying ages, strutting through what were once Sally Hardy's well-tended flower beds. And, as Campbell's family grows so do the stories of HarclYs adventures as Lord of the Peacocks. He recalls the time when he had a peacock-blue dressing gown 'I came down in it one morning, bent down just outside the kitchen door with my back to the garden — and all hell broke loose. `Campbell spotted my blue backside, decided it must be an invading peacock on his territory, and came slashing. 'Angry peacocks wade in rather like fighting

gamecocks. They leap into the air, head up, tail down and claws forward Ifs a triple attack .. slash, scratch, and bite. 'I didn't get hurt too much, but a chap near here got really damaged after the police found his peacock straying. They thought at first it might be mine and phoned me. We discovered who it belonged to, and I walked it to its home through the woods for a mile and a half guiding it with two sticks. Things were a bit tricky at times, but he went fairly quietly and eventually I handed him over. 'But then he went berserk and attacked his owner... slash, scratch, bite. That chap got really hurt.' But in

spite of occasional spats, there is great affection between Hardy and Campbell They talk to each other — often from one side of the garden to the other. The peacocks call is a raucous, ear-splitting affair of rising and falling shrieks. With his trained voice, Robert Hardy imitates it to perfection — so perfectly that it is hard to tell man from bird, except when there are predators about. Then Campbell sounds his special alarm call Watching the result, I can confirm, was quite an experience... Hardy leapt up, when the screech came, giving a reassuring answering call as he ran, Simultaneously, Campbell came out of the undergrowth, half-running, half-flying and, gaining height, made for the roof Wives and offspring fluttered away in all directions. There was a tremendous flurry of activity. Cats' Hardy said laconically as the flap subsided and he sat down again Marauding cats of course — there are none in the Hardy household since the peacocks took over. There are other birds in quantity... bantams, guinea fowl, doves... and there are also horses. For a time they, too, were banished, mainly because Robert and Sally Hardy's daughters, Emma and Justine, lost what was once an absorbing interest in them as they grew up. 'Pity really,' their father says Emma is an especially fine rider... made it to the Horse of the Year Show, 'But one day she wrote me a note to say she didn't think she wanted a horse any longer. She chose to write because she thought I would be hurt about it, and couldn't bring herself to tell me in person' For a long time afterwards, the paddock was empty, but now, despite the several spills and injuries Robert Hardy has had filming with horses, he feels he still needs to keep in riding trim for professional purposes. So two horses have returned and — his words — they make the place seem more complete'. Campbell, I gather, is not so sure. Despite frequent peacock-language calls of reassurance, he's still keeping a wary eye on them. Oxides Rowe

At the peak of its power the British Empire - coloured red on the map- reached out to the corners of the world to rule almost a quarter of the earth's population. But it wasn't to last - as Channel Four's 'End of Empire' reveals.

t its height, the British Empire dealt only in superlatives. It was the largest and greatest empire in the history of the world. At her Diamond Jubilee in 1897, Queen Victoria ruled nearly a quarter of the earth's inhabitants, and a quarter of its land surface. So much of the world was coloured empire red that it was rare to see a ship in the Suez Canal which wasn't flying the British flag. Britain produced half the world's cotton and owned more than half of the world's shipping. And the empire builders could have been TVTIMES 13-19 A pri1 1985

Mapping out the way we were by Malcolm Macalister Hall forgiven for thinking that this, surely, was the empire which would last forever. Until as recently as 1947, the British Empire remained at its largest, and intact. In the short space of 33 years, however, concluding with the independence of Zimbabwe in 1980, Britain lost 49 of its overseas possessions to a rising flood-tide of nationalist movements. The Empire, to all intents and purposes, was no more. Five years in the

making, and including film from private collections that has never been shown before, Channel Four's new 14-part series End of Empire traces the rapid dismemberment of the greatest empire that the world had ever seen.

Gateway to the East Thomas Stamford Raffles first set foot on Singapore in 1819. Then it was little more than trackless swamp, home for a handful of fishermen and pearl divers. Within 25 years this flat and

unprepossessing island at the foot of the Malay Peninsula was being described as the 'Gateway to the East', and remained one of the key bastions of the British Empire for about 150 years. After Japanese troops had stormed through Malaya and captured Singapore in 1942, Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the event as 'the greatest disaster and worst capitulation in the history of the Empire'.

uselessly out to sea as the Japanese advanced from the north, 130,000 British troops surrendered to a force of less than 50,000 Japanese. This defeat which stunned and humiliated Britain - is taken as the starting point of End of Empire. For the first time the British mystique had been shattered. The empire builders had been knocked off their pedestal. Singapore owed everything but its existence to the foresight of lust one man - Stamford Raffles. An employee of the British East India Company, he had lobbied

Grectest empire of them all continued from page 73 ceaselessly on the need for a base in the Malacca Strait which would control the British trade in opium, tea, silk and spices between India and China. Acting in a buccaneering spirit - and often blithely disregarding the orders of his cautious employers he laid the foundations of Singapore as the grĂŤateSt port in the Empire. Brilliant, energetic, scholarly and humane, he became a hero and a legend during his lifetime. Previously governor of Java, he had collected native manuscripts, carvings, textiles, plants, animals, insects, folk art and shipped everything back to London in 200 crates. The founder of The London Zoological Society - which formed London

Zoo - he published, in 1817, The History of Java, for which he was knighted and made a fellow of the Royal Society. Equally popular in Mayfair drawing rooms and jungle villages, he was revered by natives for banishing the slavery and tyranny imposed by their former masters, the Dutch. His name, and some of the grandeur that was the Empire, lives on in Singapore's Raffles hotel a favourite haunt of Somerset Maugham, and one of the world's most gracious hotels.

Jewel in the crown

India was the largest single possession ever owned by any empire in history. At its head was the Viceroy, living in almost unimaginable grandeur in Calcutta and Simla. The first viceroys found that among their trappings were some 500 servants, and a private herd of 146 elephants. Decked out in gold, silver, pearls and diamonds, the animals formed a ponderous but impressive means of transport for the

lavish parades and receptions which were a feature of imperial life. As a nation of 41 million people, Britain could not hope to control its entire empire of nearly 400 million subjects by force alone; the pomp and glitter of the Raj was therefore a useful show. The viceroys, it was realised, had to outshine the Indian princes, who were themselves fabulously wealthy. The seventh Nizam of Hyderabad was regarded as the richest man in the world. He ruled an area twice the size of Britain, owned 200 luxury cars, used two 180-carat diamonds as mere paperweights, and was unconcerned when rats got into his treasury and chewed up banknotes worth ÂŁ3 million. The most dashing of the viceroys was Lord Curzon, who held this glittering post for six years at the turn of the century. An enthusiastic and energetic ruler, he was nonetheless an incurable snob and had been dogged since his 'schooldays by a rhyme

which began: 'My name is George Nathaniel Curzon, I am a most superior person. . .' Though daily struggling at his desk until 2am with tons of paperwork, he still found time to go on safari, to shoot tigers, and to invite 3500 dignitaries to state dinners during his first month in office. Stiff and formal, British Indian life was run on the

lines laid down in British public schools and English country houses. On arriving in a newlyannexed territory, the empire builders' first thoughts were often where to construct the racecourse. Life in India was enlivened by garden parties, viceregal balls, polo, amateur dramatics and fancy dress parties. There was always a

Fever and fortunes

powerful hankering for home in far-off Cheltenham or Cheshire, and colonial life was made as English as possible. In India or Africa, the hunt would turn out in immaculate pink - even though the quarry was a jackal rather than a fox. Missing his Scottish roots, one viceroy - Lord Elgin ordered his mystified servants at Simla to polish

While colonial life was conducted on a grand scale near the centres of government, the more junior officials in far-flung outposts enjoyed a much less comfortable stay. Beset by malaria, typhoid, cholera and an infinite list of dangerous insects, West Africa was known as The White Man's Grave'. Almost as fatal was the utter loneliness felt by expublic schoolboys who were sent, single-handed, to administer vast tracts of jungle or scrub when barely out of their teens. Some went mad, many took to drink, a few

even shot themselves. For them, and for bored colonial wives, the main remedy was a stiff upperlip. With no job and no housework to do (one 1887 guide advised '27 servants for tolerably well-to-do people and 14 for a bachelor') the wives were reduced to passing the time by flirting with young unmarried officers or trying to grow roses and geraniums in the clubbing African heat. But despite homesickness, hardship or discomfort, appearances were always kept up. As a handy employment exchange for the sons of the British upper classes, the Empire offered careers, fortunes and land almost for the taking. One of the first settlers in Kenya was Hugh Cholmondeley, third Baron Delamere, a boisterous, devil-may-care old Etonian who was a dilettante explorer and big game hunter. In 1903 the government, eager to settle the new colony, simply gave him 100,000 acres in the Rift Valley. It teemed with zebra, giraffe, wildebeest and flamingos.

Thrilled, he named it Equator Ranch. Further south there were fortunes to be made in diamonds and gold. Johannesburg sprang up in a matter of weeks after gold was discovered, and produced, according to one politician, a 'society which would corrupt an archangel'. Empire-builder Cecil Rhodes acquired the monopoly of the fabled Kimberley diamond mines, and amassed a multimillion pound fortune. In Ceylon, likewise, the production of tea was almost entirely a British monopoly. After buying up thousands of acres of hill country while prices were low, Glasgow grocer Thomas Lipton soon found that his tea was being sipped around the world. In a matter of years, he, too, became a multimillionaire. If the power of the Empire was partly maintained by its impressive pomp and spectacle, this power was backed up by the murderous Maxim gun with which Kitchener's

forces cut down 11,000 Sudanese warriors in a morning at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. More of an execution than a battle, this bloodbath was acclaimed in jingoistic Britain as a victory for 'civilisation'. Regarded as revenge for the killing of another imperial hero, General Gordon, at the fall of Khartoum 13 years earlier, the grisly slaughter was one of many scenes of heroism and brutality throughout the Empire, carried out with the feeling that Britain, as the greatest nation in the world, had a duty to spread civilisation and peace, as well as adding to the glory and wealth of Queen and country .. . 'Philanthropy plus five per cent,' as Cecil Rhodes described it. It meant that in the four corners of the world, from tiny specks of rock in the Pacific Ocean to the great expanses of India, Africa, Canada and Australia, the flag that flew proudly above the governor's residence was always the same - the Union Jack.

The more fashionable way to

shop at home

Dear Katie

Important lesson A few weeks ago I returned from emptying my rubbish bin to find my four-year-old daughter engulfed in a new plastic bin liner, convincing her two-year-old brother she was a monster. Frightened and angry I ranted and raved, explained the danger and told her if she ever saw her brother doing this, to take the plastic away at once. I wasn't sure that she really understood, until last week when we were about to go shopping with Grandma and it began to rain. As Grandma started to put on her plastic rain hat I heard a bossy voice say: 'You must never do that. You will stop breathing and we shan't be able to go shopping.' Maureen Pritchard Ashford, Kent

For this important lesson So well remembered, I am sending you f10 for my Letter of The W eek.

Anxious slimmer I am so worried about my sister. She is only 28 and has two children and a wonderful husband. They love each other and seem very happy together, but my sister has an obsession about her weight. Every other day she takes laxatives to keep her weight down. She is five foot five and weighs 8st 101b, but she wants to be 8st. Her husband doesn't know that while he is at work she goes to the toilet up to 10 times a day and has awful tummy pains. I can't think that this is good for her. LJ south-east London

Y ou are right to worry,

Exam aids because your sister is on a dangerous course and sounds as if she is allowing her weight problem to get out of control. Obsessive slimming (anorexia) and obsessive slimming by over-eating followed by self induced sickness and purgatives (bulimia nervosa) are both now recognised as genuine illnesses needing urgent medical treatment. Please beg your sister to confide in her husband and her doctor. A lthough I do not favour telling tales, if she will not, I feel you should tell your brother-in-law yourself Teaming and Fasting' by Paulette Maisner and Jenny Pulling, Fontana £ I.95, describes the experiences of compulsive eaters and has been recommended by a friend who has had eating problems herself Paulette Maisner, a bulimic in her teens, eventually found a solution and now has her own Centre for Eating Disorders in Brighton. The address and much other practical advice, positive encouragement and help is given in their book. 'Glutton for Punishment' by Louise Roche (Pan Books, E1.95) is a readable, sometimes shockingly frank, autobiography of its author's battle with, and eventual recovery from, anorexia/ bulimia. Both books will help sufferers and their bewildered relatives and friends.

My son is sitting some important exams this summer and is very anxious about them. Are there any books on exam techniques? Mrs L,Baker Dyfed You dd not give me your

son's age, but if he is an advanced student taking something like a major professional, college or university-entrance exam or diploma, or if he is a home study student, 'How to Pass Exams' by W G Leader, £1.95, published by MacDonald and Evans, has been recommended to me. It is available on order from W H Smith and bookshops.

Be civil not curt Can I make a request to all employers not to be brusque when turning down young applicants for a job? It shouldn't be too much to ask for a polite explanation of the rejection. I've seen people reduced to tears of frustration by a short, sharp letter after what they had understood to be a promising interview. A constructive reply is not only kinder, but helps the youngster not to make the same 'mistake' again. Glynis Gray Enfield, London

I always feel there is no excuse for incivility, but in business they consider that time is money - and, unfortunately, brevity can sound curt. If you can manage it, most application forms look

better if they are typed. Poor handwriting and spelling can mar a good impression. Penny Hackett's lob Finding: A Step by Step Guide, E1.90, published by John Murray, gives good tips on applying for interviews, in person, by post and over the telephone. Teach Y ourself Handwriting' by Rosemary Sassoon and G S E Bziern, £2.95, published by Hodder and Stoughton Educational, is a lively book aimed at adults, and Basildon Bond's letters For Every Occasion', £2.50, published by W Foulsham Coltd, is a straightforward guide to writing simple, grammatical

'Jeffers.

Overworked woman I am 40, my boyfriend is 46 and we plan to marry this spring. He is a good man and works hard to make a wage to care for me and my 14-year-old son. But, in return, he expects me to be entirely at his beck and call, up early to see him off to work, keeping the house spotless, cooking meals and tidying them away without his having to lift a finger. If I say a word, he cries 'I do my best' and clams up. One of the reasons I get so frustrated is that I have heart trouble and arthritis, while he is very fit. We also have my elder son living with us and I am expected to run after both the boys as well. I am beginning to feel like a robot and it is driving me crazy. I can do no more. Do you think I am right to complain? Mrs AV Newcastle upon Tyne Yes, I do and the sooner you

broadcast it the better. Y our whole problem arises because you have always done too much Time and again I hear from women who work fat out for their families and friends, and are surprised when they are not only taken for granted, but resented because they don't do more. Stand up and say firmly that unless they offer to share some of these chores and responsibilities, they will

have a very sick woman on their hands. W hen a worm suddenly turns, it can produce surprising reactions. I do hope this will work, as I would be very chary of embarking on marriage if your role is to continue to be the family doormat.

Meat danger I recently bought meat from the supermarket which was well within the 'sell by' date. After only 24 hours in my fridge, it was putrid. I thought at first of returning it to the shop, then decided to ring and report it to the environmental health officer. Within hours he had collected it and the following day he returned to tell me he was very disturbed because, in the previous two days, five other customers had returned meat to the shop, but I was the only one who had complained to him. All the joints were from the same batch and he was thus able to trace the source back to the wholesaler. I implore your readers always to do this as it helps the environmental health officer in his efforts to ensure public health and safety. Helen Clark Bishopsbriggs, Glasgow

Y es, indeed. This is the sort of action that helps the whole community.

Last word Repairing children's jeans with zips is a fine fashion idea, but is dangerous when they are inserted into the knee area. When the child falls, he can so easily get the metal or plastic part of the zip embedded in his knee. I speak as a retired nursery teacher, so I regard myself as a kind of Sore Knee Specialist. Mrs Sybil Gibson West Ealing, London There's always £10 for the Letter of The Week. Katie regrets that she is unable to enter into individual correspondence.

Venice bound . . . and on the bail A DREAM trip for two on the OrientExpress, ending with a 10-day holiday in Venice, was just one of the prizes won by Mrs Lynne Denne, of Honiton, Devon, in the TVTimes"Mattessons Competition. Her other prizes included £500 in food vouchers, a case of wine, kitchen appliances, and a fourday cookery course at a top cookery school in Surrey.

each received a collection of Mattessons' products. The correct answers were: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4C, 5A, 6C.

TVTimes winners watched Jimmy W hite and Alex Higgins win the 1984 Hofmeister final.

THE TWO winners of the TVTirnes' Hofmeister Competition, who each won a VIP trip to the 1984 Hofmeister World Doubles Snooker Championship, held at the Derngate Centre, Northampton, saw Alex Higgins and Jimmy White win the first prize of £34,500.
