4 In a dream world Cannon and Ball - they're back on ITV on Saturday started their working lives as welders and became one of Britain's top comedy teams. But what if Tommy and Bobby's early dreams had come true and they'd struck out on their own? Russell Grant looks at their stars and comes up with the answers.

6 Death of a born leader

•

Lord Louis Mountbatten (right) had a long, eventful life and died a sudden, violent death. ITV celebrates one of his greatest achievements - the guiding to independence of the Indian subcontinent - on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy. And, on page 6, read about the holidays he enjoyed among the Irish villagers he loved, and the fateful hours that led to his death by an IRA bomb.

Saturday: The Cannon and Ball Show W hat would Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball, who return in a new series on ITV this week, have done for a living had they not turned to comedy - apart from their old jobs as welders?

Tommy would have liked to have been a snooker star, while Bobby had always fancied himself as a rock singer. Here, TV Times astrologer Russell Grant analyses whether the pair could have realised their boyhood ambitions.

Russenstar verdicton dream jobs rthe boys

Tommy Cannon

Bobby Ball

Born 27 June 1938 Oldham, Lancashire Sun Sign Cancer

Born 28 January 1944 Oldham, Lancashire Sun Sign Aquarius

TOMMY CANT trace his time of birth. The lack of a birth-time makes it more difficult for an astrologer to be as accurate as he would wish, so I've prepared his solar chart which immediately shows the Moon was in one of two signs. Before lunch on that day nearly 48 years ago, the Moon was in gregarious Gemini; afterwards she slipped into caring Cancer, which is Tommy's Sun sign anyway.

I believe he arrived when the Moon was in Gemini: he has the slender build of a Gemini and appears a super-smoothie in his snooker gear. The Gemini Moon would also make him very dextrous and agile - all the qualities you need to be a perfect potter or putter since, apart from snooker, he would be adept at most games or pastimes requiring a sharp eye and steady hand.

The rest of his solar chart shows a wide angle between the Sun and Mars. This gives him an Aries quality and makes him much more forthright and frank than the average Cancerian, but still endows him with many Cancerian qualities that are simply expressed in a much more fiery and competitive way.

Fascinating to note that while Bobby's chart shows a Mars/Uranus conjunction, which means working with fire or in an industrial/mechanical environment, Tommy complements this with a steely Sun/Mars/Mercury conjunction; and Cannon and Ball's day job together, before showbusiness fame struck, was as welders.

Venus is quite at home in luxury-loving Leo, which can point the way to a great flirt and flatterer, so Tommy probably gives out as much of this as he receives! The Venus and Jupiter placements show that he could also have made his mark as a singer in the Sinatra mould.

Venus in Leo is the perfect planetary placing for someone who works in cabaret and clubs: there is a certain sophisticated ambience that Venus lends herself to in stylish Leo. Other possible professions could be catering - if not doing the cooking himself, then enjoying food that other people create to his liking. The way to a Cancerian's heart is through his stomach.

The rest of the solar chart points to any vocation bringing entertainment or recreation to others.

Perhaps he'll end up owning a night club or organising his own golfing or snooker competition - Tommy has all the makings of a rich, popular and successful entrepreneur.

BOBBY'S MUM can only come up with a time of birth between 9am and noon. I can only cast a full natal chart if the birth time is correct, so I've prepared a solar chart which shows the position of the planets as they were at noon. Unfortunately, the career and job is determined by much more precise measurements within the more accurate birth chart. However, here goes with a glimpse into Bobby Ball's solar chart.

Being a Sun sign Aquarian, Bobby has a love of the unorthodox and unusual. If life gets dull, most Aquarians try to find fresher challenges and adventures, so a career that encompasses unpredictability and surprise is a must. But it doesn't end there with Bobby, for his chart is full of Gemini planets that make him more restless for change and variety than the average Aquarian.

The combination of inflammable Mars with hightech Uranus makes him a natural for television or any other modern career that requires a dynamic and charismatic approach.

Personal magnetism is something Bobby has coming out of his ears, so whatever he does he would attract a following. Being a rock 'n' roll singer is something he could carry off with eyecatching panache.

Bobby's Moon is in Pisces, the sign of glamour and fantasy, so there is a need for twinkling lights and a dash of the unworldly.

It's more than likely he would have made a visionary astrologer even a great mystic, had he fancied it.

With such a watery placing for the Moon, he would also be at home by rivers, lakes or seas.

There's a Cannon and Ball topping the pops, and in more tranquil side to his as resting mood in a nature, which means scene from their film a need for times of The Boys in Blue' (1983). solitude and serenity.

Comedians Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball as they might have been: Tommy as an ace snooker player, Bobby in the role of a top pop singer.

The comedy team in action (above). Their act began on the factory floor, progressed through Northern clubs and pubs to summer shows, television and film.

C3 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: Lord Mountbatten - The Last Viceroy sea, with white holiday cottages sitting contentedly on the hill across from the harbour.

It's a peaceful scene.

There's no honky tonk in Mullaghmore.

'Not,' says Tommie Gorman, local correspondent of RTE, the Irish television service, 'the kind of place you'd come down to from Northern Ireland if you were looking for a wild weekend. Unless you're keen on boats and fishing and swimming and on a poetic sort of landscape, you'd be better off in Bundoran.'

Lord Mountbatten was fanatical about boats and fishing, and he loved Classiebawn with, says businessman Hugh Tunney, a friend of Mountbatten's and the present occupant of the castle, 'an obsessive love'.

Classiebawn had belonged to the family of Mountbatten's wife, Edwina, but something about the castle - its commanding position overlooking Donegal Bay, its easy access to the sea - made it uniquely his.

'D'you know,' says Sligo artist Bernard McDonagh, 'that when his ship docked in Derry during the war he made a long journey down by bus to Mountbatten - The Last Classiebawn. All the way Viceroy comes to their down through Donegal screens on Sunday, they sort of wondered Monday and Tuesday. about him - could it really In the village of be Lord Mountbatten Mullaghmore, where he sitting on an Irish bus?

He was liked and road that comes up from respected by all. Then in Sligo to Mullaghmore. One August 1979, he was minute there's no sight of assassinated when his it. The next minute it's motor cruiser was blown there, etched against the up by an IRA bomb as it wide Irish sky, something sailed out of the harbour from a Grimm's fairytale, on a fishing trip. with eerie hints of the The little sunlit seaside supernatural.

s the B & I ferry steamed out of Liverpool docks on the last Saturday of July for its overnight run to Dublin, a familiar sight was a tall distinguished man who would stand on the bridge, seaman's eyes narrowed to slits as he gazed down the river. Earl Mountbatten of Burma would be reliving his great days at sea as Admiral of the Fleet as he journeyed across the Irish Sea on his way to Classiebawn Castle, his beloved holiday home in the Republic of Ireland.

Later, when the ferry had reached open sea, he'd have dinner with his family at a corner table in the ship's restaurant before retiring for the night to his cabin. He was the only man ever allowed to take his dog with him to his cabin,' says Commodore Davaney, who was his host for many a journey. 'He was mad about that dog and, well, he was Mountbatten.'

Well, he was indeed, though he'd have been the last man to remind anyone of his illustrious history and his royal connections.

But ITV viewers will be reminded of his days in India when Lord

photographs of his forefathers, and a silver framed letter of thanks from his host, Mullaney sits in his cottage and talks about Mountbatten. •To say he knew a lot about Irish music, well no, I wouldn't say that, but he enjoyed it and he'd sit and tap his feet when I'd play The W alls of Limerick or The Siege of Ennis. Dance the Irish dances, no, I wouldn't say that he'd dance the Irish dances either, but he'd get up and dance an old-time waltz. I used to look at him and say, "By gor, I hope I'll be able to dance like that

when I'm his age." He was great at the waltz.

'People might think 'twas funny to see an English landlord dancing an Irish waltz in an Irish castle, but 'twas only natural. He was a grand man, a grand man. Very simple, the way he lived.

He'd spend hours and hours down at the harbour wall with his fishing net looking for prawns.'

'He was a most equal man,' says Hugh Tunney.

'He neither looked down on or up to anyone.

Though in his position how could he look up?'

Visitors would ask Peter :

Mullaney if there was any chance of seeing Mountbatten, and he'd smile and tell them to go on down to the harbour any afternoon at four o'clock and they'd see a tall man dressed in blue walking along from his boat. He'd be holding a couple of lobsters that he'd throw into the boot of the car before going back to Classiebawn.

'He loved lobster,' says a former assistant cook of the castle. 'He'd tell me to put them in cold water, but I'd say, "Now, sir, that would be terrible

He was what you'd call a very natural man,' says Willie Farrel, local councillor and proprietor of Willie's Cafe in Grange, three miles away. 'I was a rate collector the first time I met him, and I'd say 'twas the first time reality was hitting him after his wife's death in 1960. He had a mass of papers and he was lost. But he was determined to cut down the estate to everything outside the walls. He cross-questioned me about his lands at Greelagh and Bunduff and Castlegal and Balandrock — he was the kind of man who liked to go into everything very thoroughly for himself.'

The Mountbatten family has never come back to Mullaghmore, but John Maxwell, whose son Paul was Mountbatten's boat boy that August day, brings his family down from Enniskillen, across the border, to his holiday cottage in Mullaghmore every summer.

'I do it as an act of faith,' he says. 'It would be an insult to the people of Mullaghmore if I didn't.'

'I've often thought since,' says artist Bernard McDonagh, for whom Lord Mountbatten opened two exhibitions, 'that the people who did it, not only knew no Irish history, they were ignorant of world history as well. They probably had no idea of the real stature of the man they killed. That's the tragedy of it.'

The timetable to death Sunday evening 26 August 1979 Lord Mountbatten in high spirits as he hosts dinner at Classiebawn Castle, overlooking Donegal Bay on Sligo's Atlantic coast, for his family and close friend Hugh Tunney, an Irish millionaire businessman. Staff at Broadlands, Mountbatten's home in Hampshire, are preparing for the Earl's return after his traditional month-long holiday in Ireland. Mountbatten has phoned them to say he is really enjoying his break.

Monday 9am 27 August The final day of Mountbatten's holiday and it is promising to be another scorcher as the west coast of Ireland basks in a belated heatwave. The family group enjoys a leisurely breakfast and discusses its plans for the day. Sunlight streams in through the big castle windows, and lazing about on the water seems an ideal way of enjoying the splendid weather.

10.45am Hugh Tunney, former butcher's boy turned selfmade meat tycoon, declines an offer to join the Mountbatten party on the Earl's 29ft converted fishing boat Shadow V He rents the castle from the family but always makes sure it is free for them every August. Tunney is a religious man and for some unexplained reason has earlier knelt down in his room at the castle to say the rosary on a set of beads given to him by a priest.

Above: the Earl and family in happier days, no regrets about dying because of the rewarding and full life he has led.

11.00am The party prepares for its sea trip, taking a change of clothing and a camera.

Mountbatten alerts his two police escorts to the family plans.

11.32am The party of seven squeeze into a big white 2.8 litre Ford Granada GL. Lord Brabourne, the Earl's son-in-law, is driving. The car moves slowly down the castle's tree-lined drive, an unmarked police car following close behind.

The policemen are in plain clothes. Two years earlier, Mountbatten had asked for the police watch on his emerald-green boat to be removed, and had

also declined to let Scotland Yard's crack Royal Protection Group guard him in Ireland. He had been following the same routine at Classiebawn Castle for 35 years, was well-known and highly respected locally. The family connection with Ireland is very strong, and Mountbatten was as near to being an honorary Irishman as anyone could ever become.

11.35am Both vehicles slow down to cross the cattle grid at the stone lodge house, with its steeply sloping roof and twin stone pillars engraved with Mountbatten's crest and the motto Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense (evil be to him that evil thinks). The two cars pass the only

amusement arcade in the pretty, unspoilt holiday village of Mullaghmore, and stop at the tiny pier.

Shadow V is ready to leave, having been moored in the harbour overnight alongside another craft, the blackpainted Celtic.

11.38am A handful of holidaymakers in casual clothes look twice as the familiar tall figure, ramrod straight despite being in his 80th year, emerges from the Ford. He looks crisp in white cords, tennis shoes and a black fisherman's sweater bearing the legend `The Fighting Fifth'.

Lest we forget 4.45pm The same day as Mountbatten's assassination, British soldiers die when their patrol runs into an IRA ambush at Warrenpoint, County Down, in Northern Ireland. Two massive bombs are detonated 25 minutes apart, designed to inflict maximum casualties.

It is the highest death toll in one outrage ever suffered by the Army in Ulster. The IRA claims responsibility for both atrocities.

Postscript

11.43am Lord BrabourUe is sitting in Mountbatten's seat, his twin sons and the boatboy Paul Maxwell moving around the deck, Lady Brabourne and her mother-in-law, the Dowager Lady Brabourne,

Maxwell has to be restrained from attempting to swim out to the wreckage to find his son.

Bodies start to be ferried back to shore. The final death toll will be four — Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas, and Paul Maxwell that day; the Dowager Lady Brabourne the next. Mountbatten's daughter, Lady Patricia Brabourne, her husband and Mountbatten's other grandson, Timothy, will survive.

The Royal family gather to mourn Mountbatten.

Carpenter Thomas McMahon, 31, was convicted on 23 November 1979 for Mountbatten's murder and sentenced to penal servitude for life.

Another man was acquitted.

HE ENDED UP a giant among men, but it could all have been so different had Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten chosen the easy life of a royal playboy. That was the popular image of his party-going habits in the Roaring Twenties.

Beneath the social whirl, however, Mountbatten was dedicated to his Royal Navy career, which started in 1913 as a naval cadet.

His father, Prince Louis of Battenberg, had relinquished his title in 1917, changed his name to Mountbatten and resigned as First Sea Lord during anti-German wartime hysteria in Britain.

Mountbatten married Edwina Ashley, granddaughter of millionaire Sir Ernest Cassel, in 1922. He introduced advances in naval communications and rapid promotion followed his sheer hard work. His personal charm overcame predudice against rich, titled officers.

In 1941, Mountbatten went down with the destroyer Kelly, was rescued, appointed Chief of Combined Operations, then made Supreme Allied Commander South East Asia in 1943. He seemed to have reached his peak, when Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee offered his biggest challenge — the last Viceroyship of India.

In his naval career, he followed his father's footsteps by becoming First Sea Lord in 1955.

Even after retirement, he continued working for charities and good causes.

History will probably judge him as one of the few really great people of this century.

Mr/Mrs/Miss la:nave,

<cap., please)

by Janet impey/pictures Paul Stokes incoln green, emerald green, jade green and lime green are the shades of the glades that Maid Marion frequents — and the colours that fashionable females will be wearing this summer. Perennial favourites such as the blues have been ousted in favour of forest hues, and Judi Trott, whose instantly recognisable red tresses make her a perfect target for Robin of Sherwood, on ITV on Saturdays, is more than happy about the current fashion whim.

'I suppose that, since redheads are always meant to wear greens, I've rebelled against it,' she says. 'But now, having filled my wardrobe with plenty of blues, blacks and hot pinks, I've decided it is the moment to wear green.'

Green fever first took hold when the Sixties revivalist styles demanded minis and ribbed polo necks in harsh, acid-drop colours. The more discerning customer, finding this hard to swallow, plumped for the softer approach, hence the popularity of greens coupled with white to sharpen contrasts, yellow to mellow, and blue to blen with the countryside and seashore.

Judi, modelling these outfits in Tenerife, looked spectacular against a backdrop of cacti, and the dramatic coastline of TenBel, the hotel park where we stayed — many miles from Sherwood Forest and Robin and his Merry Men.

illy Butlin dropped his aitches and was happiest stomping around in shirt-sleeves and red braces, getting things done. He rarely carried around so much as sixpence in his pocket, and if he didn't know much about art, he knew what he liked and bought plenty of it, in job lots.

Legends are made of this, and there was no mistaking that Sir William Heygate Butlin MBE was a self-made man who'd made it in style, and with a showman's flair.

He invented glamorous grannies and celebrated knobbly knees, and, of course, gave us the great British holiday: Hi-de-hi, Ho-de-ho, fun for all the family and never mind the rain. You're never bored at Butlin's.

The first Butlin's holiday camp opened 50 years ago this week in Skegness, and Wednesday's anniversary documentary, Hello Campers! on ITV, is a colourful slice of social history charting the rise of the Butlin empire in old film, reminiscences and the anecdotes of eager young Redcoats who grew up to be famous.

Butlin's is an institution.

Sir Billy created it, and dominated the business until he retired to Jersey in the late Sixties. He died six years ago at the age of 80, but is universally remembered with genuine affection by those who knew him.

'I loved him,' says one senior Butlin's employee, adding hastily, 'but that doesn't mean I was excused his rollickings.'

Sir Billy started on fairgrounds. He graduated through hoop-la stalls to make his fortune on the dodgems. Everyone agrees that he was a shrewd and instinctive businessman, with a showman's code of practice — relying heavily on a shake of hands.

Paul Winterforde-Young was a personal assistant to Sir Billy in the years before his retirement. One day he broached the subject of Butlin's salaries at the camps. Sir Billy said he couldn't shake everyone's hands, and Paul asked what he meant.

It seems that in the old

Billy Butlin's success began with his first holiday camp, in Skegness (top, in 1937).

Above, and below right: Sir Billy's face appeared everywhere, even on special camp `money'. Above right: with third wife, Sheila, in 1976. days on the fairgrounds, someone would come along for a job, and you'd say, "What's it going to be Bert, Z10 a week and a fiddle, or £15 a week and a shakehands, no fiddle?"

So it was on his mind that

everyone was on the fiddle, because if you didn't shake hands it was a battle of wits, and what you fiddled was fair dos.

'But woebetide you if you shook hands on an arrangement and went

back on it. I saw contractors broken. One woman he thought he trusted was storing bottles of whisky in the roof of a chalet he often stayed in.

He found out in the end.'

If Sir Billy sometimes

asked bar managers to draw lines on the spirit bottles and initial them, he was not otherwise mean (and certainly not when it came to charity), But he did have a keen eye for a bargain, be it works of art or more practical items.

A s Jerry Cable, another of Sir Billy's assistants, says: 'I don't suppose anyone stopped to wonder what happened to London's Oxford Street Christmas lights every year. The old man bought them, and we'd be there at 3am watching them being loaded on to the lorries and off to the camps, where they'd appear the following summer, minus the Santa Claus.

'He bought all sorts of things: hula hoops that we hung from the camp ceilings, war-time airplane models, searchlight mirrors, anything for decoration.'

Somehow, Sir Billy took possession of the furniture of Nazi war criminal Von Ribbentrop. He had the desk in his office in London and the dining table in his country home, swastika pattern and all 'I was invited to dinner and expected something lavish,' says Jerry Cable.

'We sat there, the old man and I, at this huge table. I had hamburger and chips and he had poached eggs on toast.'

While helping to build his own myth, Sir Billy remained notoriously shy, terrified of public speaking and generally modest, especially when it came to charity. Paul Winterforde-Young says someone once calculated that Sir Billy gave £10 million to an endless string of charities and good causes. Much of this happened through the Variety Club, with which he was closely involved.

He also received more direct pleas for help.

'I remember one particular letter, from a family with three children in Kent,' says Paul. 'They were in trouble and the old man wanted to do this, that and the other to help.

I said, "Supposing it's a con?" He said, "Well, as long as the kids get the money I don't care." It was genuine, and the eldest daughter was paid through boarding school. He'd continued overpage

continued from page 15 say, "If it's phoney, it's on their conscience, not mine." ' At home, Sir Billy lived quietly and simply, though not always happily. He was married three times and with no small complication: nis second wife, Norah, was the sister of his first wife, Dolly. When Dolly refused to divorce him, he lived with Norah, but by the time he was free from Dolly he had met and fallen in love with Sheila. He went ahead and married Norah anyway, soon returning to Sheila when the second marriage failed.

Sir Billy finally wed Sheila in 1976, 29 years after their first meeting.

Lady Sheila Butlin, as she became, says now that their relationship worked because she understood Sir Billy's business.

'I understood if he said he'd be home for dinner and was four hours late. I didn't get upset if he cancelled a holiday at the last minute.'

During the years they were living together waiting for his divorce, Lady Sheila gave Sir Billy a son and a daughter, and says: 'We'd go anywhere and Bill would say, "You know, last night I was at home, in an eightbedroomed house, and we were all together in one room, in one bed, the four of us, watching television."

And he'd say, "You can't buy that."'

After his retirement, Sir Billy had four major heart attacks, but remained active. He died, having chosen his resting place in a Jersey cemetery. 'We went together and he walked up and down whistling, then stopped and said, "Right here." I said, "But you're right by the road." He said, "Sheila, when you're down there you won't hear the traffic."

Sir Billy's resting place is now a main attraction for the tourists, and I think he'd have liked that.

The Campbells, played by Malcolm Stoddard, Amber Lea W eston, Eric Richards and John W ildman.

The Campbells are coming A NEW family adventure series. called The Campbells, starts on Sunday. It is set in the 1830s, when many Scottish families left their homeland to start a new life in northern Canada.

Dr James Campbell and Neil, Emma and John, were one such family.

After his wife died, Dr

Campbell struggled to bring up his children by himself. When the idea of emigrating to Canada was mentioned, the children were enthusiastic.

In reality, their new life wasn't how they had imagined. The nearest town was a day's hard journey away. Even their neighbours could be

reached only by braving about a mile of thick woods and wilderness.

One thing the family had plenty of was selfreliance. They were deteunined to overcome anything. They learned to adapt to their strange surroundings. They hunted and fished and grew their own food.

Gradually, the Campbells, living in their far-flung community of adventurers, retired military men, migrating Indians and destitute Highlanders like themselves, helped to form the foundation of Canada.

The first two of the 22 episodes were shot in Scotland. The others were filmed at a 50-acre farm near Ballinfad, Ontario.

The farm is in an area that was actually settled by many Scottish families 150 years ago.

Spotthe Blunders EVER SINCE The Blunders started on Children's ITV last week, all sorts of things keep going wrong. Ian Sachs, artist/director of the series, is really suffering from a bad case of blunders.

'I was drawing a new picture of them to use for one of the programmes when somebody in the studio told me I'd made five stupid mistakes,' he explains.

TV Times thought it would be a good idea to use Ian's picture to test just how well you know all the characters. There are mistakes on Ma, Pa, Zebra, Patch and Trouble. If you know what's wrong, tell us on a postcard, and send it to: TV Times Blunders Competition, FilmFair, Jacob's Well Mews, London W1H 5PD. Ian Sachs has promised to send prizes to the first 10 entries opened after the closing date that correctly identify all five blunders.

The prizes are 10 Blunder Bus bags, plus Blunder Books and T-shirts,' he says. The competition closing date is Friday 16 May. Usual TV Times rules will, of course, apply.

WHEN IT WON a silver plaque at a Canadian children's TV festival, Treasures of the Mincilord lived up to its name. Now, on Thursday, you have a chance to see TSW's highly original, computer-based quiz. It's so original there were even candlelit rehearsals.

'I suppose it must have added to the inter-galactic mystery,' jokes producer Tony Smith.

Almost hidden Treasure!

this weeks, at a 15th-century manor house, the television crew's technical equipment proved too much for the South Western Electricity Board's transformer, which blew up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost certainly from being overloaded.

Fortunately, the crew's own generator was powerful enough to provide electricity for the camera and computer. 'All we had to do was round

up candles so that the teams could see what they were doing!' says Smith.

Once that problem was solved, another arose. Smith says: 'The 15thcentury walls were much thicker than anything we had prepared for and it was virtually impossible to hear the team's walkie-talkies through them.'

Superb cornering.

And yes it's a beautiful shot, it must go in and...he's missed it!

The viewer that is, not the player.

You see the problem with some TV's is that the screen suffers from lack of full picture size as well as distortion. The image gets lost in the corners, straight lines mysteriously bend.

If you pot a Philips Matchline T.V. however, you get closer to the truth.

Philips Matchline T.V.'s. part of the ever expanding Philips Matchline System, have FSQ - a flatter squarer tube with improved picture size, and reduced distortion. And because reflections are cut down too, a better picture

can be viewed comfortably from any angle.

The result is a bigger, clearer and more faithful picture than ever before, in a T.V. that looks as sharp as it performs.

Whether you choose a monitor or receiver, with or without Teletext you can always be confident of a T.V. picture that achieves new levels of clarity and sharpness. And what's more, you'll be plugged into the Philips Matchline System, a system that under one single remote control can bring you just about all that Philips video and audio technology has to offer, both now and far into the future.

Personal view

East End revisited

After seeing the glorious 8-14 March cover of TVTimes paying tribute to the British cinema, I looked forward with anticipation to ITV's British Cinema: Personal View, a programme promising a brief return to the triumphs of British films and our wonderful directors and producers. But what did we get? A dreary talk by Alan Parker using today's vernacular, and a noisy screaming programme of modern weirdies from the cinema. He blames television for the decline of the film, but cinema buffs know better. It is not the man in the street who is the 'turnip-head'. I watched the programme all through and it was a complete waste of time.

N Roberts Nr Hailsham, East Sussex

We are working on a programme for Channel Four called Sparrows Can Sing, which looks at the different ways London's East End has been represented on film. We have a lot of footage from feature films and old newsreels, but want to include material from people's home movies, on film and video, showing life and work in the area both past and present. We also hope to hear from local people who were involved in the 1962 film directed by Joan Littlewood, Sparrows Can't Sing.

Annie Copley, Researcher Large Door Ltd, 41 and 45 Beak Street London W1R 3LE (tel 01-439 1381)

Thank you for one of the most entertaining and thought-provoking films I have ever seen on TV — Alan Parker's British Cinema: Personal V iew, Even when I disagreed with his point of view, I still remained totally riveted. I then watched The 1985 BAFTA Craft A wards and went to bed happy.

M D Burgess Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

A boon to viewers The ITV series Boon became a firm favourite with our family. I can still hardly believe that there was a series where the hero had no criminal connections, was an honest, likeable, unsophisticated fella, backed up by a cast of equally likeable and interesting characters, and proving at long last that to be decent isn't boring.

As the theme music suggested, the 'righting of wrongs can still be used as a main format in entertainment.

We certainly did not miss the bad language and gratuitous violence.

Mrs W Mulheir Wakefield, West Yorkshire

Direct Dimbleby May I say how much I prefer the presentation on TV-am of Jonathan Dimbleby on Sunday. The programme is clear-cut and to the point, as opposed to the waffle that goes on between David Frost, John Wells and the pompous Derek Jameson who will insist on interrupting. With Dimbleby, even people who are not thoroughly conversant with politics can understand.

THE BEST VALUE ON THE ROAD

by Stewart Knowles

Campers beware!

THE EARLY days of Butlin's are remembered in Wednesday's 50th anniversary documentary on ITV, Hello Campers!

One of the less fragrant anecdotes concerns the setting-up of the first camp, at Skegness in 1936, and the relatively basic sewage arrangements.

To discourage the

campers from straying in the vicinity of the original septic tank, Billy Butlin had a large Beware of the dog' notice prominently displayed.

But before long, a camper approached our founder, Excuse me, Mr Butlin,' he said. You know that dog of yours? Well, it doesn't half smell!'

Sir Billy Butlin, founder of the holiday camps which celebrate their 50th year in `Hello Campers!'

Charlie sets the pace for Brigit Forsyth, star of 'The Practice'.

Doctor 13d0 aids Operation °ladle BRIGIT FORSYTH, who plays Dr Judith Vincent in ITV's The Practice — a new series starts on 23 May — recently had first-hand experience of an operating-table drama.

Her two-year-old black-and-white Harlequin Great Dane, Charlie, went into the garden of Brigit's Cheshire home, ostensibly for an innocent prebedtime 'walkies' but actually to raid the next-door neighbour's dustbin.

Unhappily for Charlie, he ended up swallowing a collection of household

rubbish. In the course of a crucial twoand-a-half hour operation, the vet removed a plastic bag, a piece of string, some small bones, broken glass and a sizeable metal screw.

'The vet didn't think Charlie would make it and, in fact, I had really expected to be saying goodbye to him. But he survived the operation, and for one weekend I nursed him until he started to recover. Now he's as fit as a fiddle. He even comes jogging with me,' says Brigit Forsyth.

Underground travellers in time STAND well back and listen.. .

The sound is a savage series of atonal thrusts and electronic feedback. The lyrics combine sadomasochistic frenzy with free association imagery.

The whole sound seems to be the product of a secret marriage between Bob Dylan and the Marquis de Sade.'

This was how one New York critic greeted the release, in 1967, of an album by The Velvet Underground, a new rock group discovered by pop artist Andy Warhol.

They were together just four years but their influence — on punk and new wave styles — has outlasted hippiness and -

flower power.

Twenty years on, the original group members are interviewed in The South Bank Show, on ITV on Sunday.

One, John Cale, is clearly puzzled by their cult status: 'I've no understanding of it at all,' he says. 'How anybody could say they were influenced by The Velvet Underground... you know. . . it's like the kiss of death, I would imagine.'

And about those dark glasses the group wore on stage, he has this to say: 'The only reason we wore them was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.' in

Charity begins for home

Jeanette Roberts (centre) with some of her adopted and fostered family who were featured in the ITV documentary 'In The Name of Charity', earlier this year.

MONEY and good wishes have rolled in since the Viewpoint 86 documentary In The Name of Charity told earlier this year of the financial difficulties of Jeanette Roberts and her adopted and foster children. Jeanette was a district nurse who, 17 years ago, and with a friend, fostered children referred to her through the social services.

A spokeswoman for Central TV, which made the documentary, tells me: 'We have had an enormous response in letters and telephone calls from people wanting to help support Jeanette and the family.'

The family of 22 children, who live in Essex, have sent a jumbo-sized card, drawn and signed by them all, to Philips, the company that supplied them with a complimentary washing machine in response to a request by TVTimes.

Now who's rocking the boat?

More people than ever will be flying to Ireland throughout the summer. And not only because it's faster, more comfortable and more convenient.

The simple fact is that the ferries have increased their summer fares to Ireland.

And we have cut ours.

For instance, a Superapex* return from London to Dublin is now only ,S89. And

our ordinary Apex* fare is only S9 more, with no weekend surcharges.

To cope with the demand, we've put on no fewer than 35,000 extra seats. So there'll be thousands available at the new lower fares.

(We do suggest, though, that you keep ahead of the demand by booking as early as you can.)

Full details and conditions are in our 1986 brochure. For your free copy, pop into your local travel agent or contact your nearest Aer Lingus office.

While you're there, take a look at the ferry prices. Then you'll see that an Aer Lingus flight is better value than ever.

Aer Lingus* It's better byAer. *

Aer Lingus, 223 Regent Street, London WI . Tel: 01-7341212 or Ireland House, 150 New Bond Street, London Wl. Superapex tickets must be booked and paid for at least I month in advance. Apex tickets must be booked and paid for at least 14 days in advance.

PLATINUM -A UNIQIJE INVESTMENT Platinum is one of the rarest metals on earth and one of the most valuable. It is produced in exceptionally small quantities and the total world output is only around 80 tonnes annually, compared with about 1,200 tonnes of gold.

Much of the platinum produced is used in a rapidly growing range of high technology applications and a significant proportion is made into jewellery. Consequently the metal is always in demand. It is also a readily tradeable commodity.

Now Johnson Matthey platinum bars are available to the private investor. Of course, like any other investment, the value of platinum can fall as well as rise, particularly in the short term.

But the price in sterling has nearly quadrupled during the past decade and over a similar period it has easily outperformed inflation, too.

Johnson Matthey platinum bars are produced in eight sizes up to 10oz troy, each one being individually numbered.

You can take possession of the bars in the UK, in which case VAT must be charged.

Alternatively, they can be held in safe keeping at our vaults in Jersey or Zurich, in which case no VAT is payable on the value of the bars.

Should you wish to sell your bars we guarantee to repurchase them at any time. For full information on Johnson Matthey platinum bars, and an application form, simply complete and send the coupon by Freepost.

The first is A frica Historian Basil Davidson travelled the continent — three times the size of Europe — interviewing fishermen and farmers, archaeologists and presidents for his eight-part documentary series first shown two years ago and

MONDAY St Elsewhere Let hypochondria reign! St Elsewhere is back. The American stethoscopeand-bedpan soap opera with the fast-action and multi-storyline formula of Hill Street Blues, starts a new series on Channel Four tonight. It's set in the same old Boston teaching hospital with the same overworked medical teams — the nurses as pretty as models — dealing with everything from anorexia to hepatitis, and even, later in the series, a doctor who contracts AIDS. Tonight the wards reopen with the first half of a two-part story called Playing God. Michael Learned (who, despite the name is actually a motherly American character actress, formerly in The W altons) guest stars as a Mother Superior asking avuncular Dr Westphall (Ed Flanders) to cut off the life support of a nun in a coma.

development of African royal government and the incursions of Europeans, who usually carried a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other. He ends with the rise of nationalism and the establishment of independent states, resulting in countries with names that many of us have difficulty in locating on a map. Scotland, of course, we know better.. .

Held in Trust The part of Scotland most tourists want to see, apart from Edinburgh, is the spectacular, lonely, largely undeveloped and unpopulated area known as the Highlands. It is from there that Diana Rigg presents tonight's Held in Trust programme on Channel Four, about National Trust properties in Scotland. She visits Culloden, near Inverness, where in 1746 Bonnie Prince Charlie's army of Highlanders was cut to pieces by the Duke of Cumberland's men, and Torridon, a village surrounded by red sandstone mountains. She goes to Inverewe Gardens beside Loch Ewe, where, despite a latitude farther north than Moscow, subtropical plants flourish because of the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, and to Iona, the Hebridean island where St Columba established his abbey in 563.

TUESDAY Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy The final episode of Lord

Mountbatten: The Last V iceroy, on ITV tonight, includes the bloody aftermath of the swift creation of a separate and independent India and Pakistan. In less than a year Mountbatten achieved the seemingly impossible in winning agreement to his plans from Nehru (played by Ian Richardson), the representative of the Hindu majority, and Jinnah (Vladek Sheybal), the Moslem leader. But the celebrations that followed independence in 1947 were short-lived. There was fighting and rioting and then, early in 1948, the assassination of Gandhi (Sam Dastor) who had started the long struggle for independence. To Mountbatten fell the task of bringing back order, while his wife Edwina (Janet Suzman) organised relief services.

SUNDAY Lord Mountbatten: The Last Viceroy It was Martin Sheen's portrayal of John F Kennedy in ITV's Kennedy that persuaded Nicol Williamson to undertake the role of another hero of recent memory, Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Lord Mountbatten: The Last V iceroy is a six-hour mini-series that begins on ITV tonight, continues tomorrow and ends on Tuesday.

Sheen was no more like Kennedy in appearance than Williamson is Mountbatten, yet he was able to convince viewers that he was Kennedy to the life. Williamson says it is the reaction of the Royal Family that will mean most. 'If they can say, "That's Uncle Dickie," then I will have succeeded: He plays the charismatic, autocratic but muchloved Mountbatten in 1947 who, after his post in World War Two as Supreme Allied Commander in South East Asia, accepted the job of granting independence to India, to conclude 200 years of British rule.

Zastrozzi Max Wall's expressive face says everything. It is the face of a man

WEDNESDAY Hello Campers!

Comedian Roy Hudd has vivid memories of his days as a holiday camp Redcoat, and particularly of the knockabout games and contests. In a pram race he was once pushing an 80-year-old woman passenger when she toppled from the pram and appeared to be lifeless. He was praying for her recovery when her body stirred, her eyes opened and she demanded, 'Did we win?'

Hudd and fellow comics Ted Rogers and Charlie Drake are among former Redcoats who recount memories of life and laughs in holiday camps in Hello Campers!. The ITV documentary marks the 50th anniversary of the year when Billy Butlin opened his first camp, at Skegness — with workers still assembling huts from wood and chicken wire as the first campers arrived.

Max W all: turbulent priest. into whose life much rain has fallen. Etched into it are the memories of three marriages and three divorces, career setbacks and bankruptcy, loneliness and back pain. Yet Wall is held by many to be Britain's greatest living clown. He is also an accomplished actor, and tonight he comes into his own in Zastrozzi, the curious, highlystylised Channel Four serial based loosely on a book by the poet Shelley. He plays a ginsoaked priest living in a hotel and spying through keyholes on a young couple as they make love.

He also rails against the head waiter and 'the invisible management', which seems to be his name for God.

THURSDAY The Brothers McGregor Humphrey Pyecroft is a character for whom many motorists will feel sympathy and admiration in tonight's episode of the ITV sitcom The Brothers McGregor. For Pyecroft (played by Stephen Bill) is the unfortunate owner of a recalcitrant Hillman Imp, sold to him by Wesley and Cyril (Paul Barber and Philip Whitchurch), The Brothers McGregor (They are actually half brothers, Wesley being black and Cyril white.) After three months haunting the brothers' car lot in fruitless attempts to get the vehicle put in good order, Pyecroft camps in a deckchair outside the McGregor flat on a Sunday, announcing he will stay there until he gets his money back. This would be embarrassing enough for the brothers without their mother inviting Pyecroft to join them for Sunday roast.. .

FRIDAY Home to Roost It is one of the more tiresome habits of parents to compare their offspring unfavourably with those of a relative or neighbour.

And young Matthew Willows (played by Reece Dinsdale) experiences this in Suspect tonight's episode of ITV's re-run sitcom Home to Roost His contemporary next door is home from college, and Matthew's irascible father (John Thaw) loses no opportunity to point out his admirable qualities. Paul (Simon Harrison) is an industrious student. a champion athlete, clean, neat, courteous and quiet — in short, everything that Matthew is not. Of course, Paul is too good to be true and Matthew is nowhere near as bad as his father purports to believe. For though this sharply-written series is crisp on the outside, what lies at the heart of it is pure marshmallow.

His marriage follows it when he falls in love with his son's mistress (Barbra Streisand), the nutty nymphomaniac wife of his cousin.

The second of Margaret Lockwood's really big hits of the wartime years, reuniting her with Stewart Granger, one of her costars from The Man in Grey. The story — dying lady pianist falling for engineer going blind — is pure schmaltz, but it was pure gold at the boxoffice, one of the biggest financial winners of its year. And the theme music, Cornish Rhapsody, was also a success.

11.30pm-12.55am A formula thriller directed with visual flair by Ted Post, whose credits include Clint Eastwood's Hang 'Em High and Magnum Force. The identity of the mental hospital escapee terrorising four women (the title is misleading as the college reunion girls only realise that there's a killer about after he has struck) should prove no problem for armchair sleuths.

3,00pm-4.20pm An excellent cast of Hollywood regulars in a frantic farce about a newly-married man trying to retrieve a (not so) incriminating piece of underwear from an old flame. Film tough guy Dennis O'Keefe does a good job of turning to comedy as the harassed hero, and Charlotte Greenwood and Mischa Auer are especially enjoyable in the supporting cast.

THURSDAY Cloak and Dagger W 5.00pm-700p.m The well-documented hostilities between two German expatriates, costar Lilli Palmer and director Fritz Lang, on this film, resulted in an edgy performance from Palmer

that proved more than a match for a somewhat uneasy Gary Cooper. He is cast as a physics professor drafted into secret service work for the Americans during World War Two. Overall, Lang creates a sleek, dark romantic thriller with fine 1946 supporting acting.

The Mark of the Beast

141 9.30pm-11.20pm An award-winning Dutch

film about a happy nonconformist who, in 1929, spends his time challenging social convention and relishes nothing more than to upset church and all authority with equal abandon. But his greatest slap in the face of the morals of his fellow villagers comes when he is seduced by a prisoner's wife and she abandons her six children to move in with him.

Gerard Tholen paints a solid picture of Yje, whose life is ruled by his astrological birth sign of Scorpio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 'the mark of the beast which no one can defeat, always alert and ready to strike'. Director Pieter Verhoeff s pace is a touch on the slow side but after a sluggish start the film exerts a pull that sees it through the distance. 1981

FINEST COGNAC WE Go BACK TO: OUR ROOTS

...1â&#x20AC;˘1111

As far as history is concerned, our roots go back a long way Napoleon himself was known to have visited the Bercv warehouse of Emmanuel

Courvoisier back in 1811.

As far as today is concerned, our roots still go a long way some t5 metres to be precise.

The reason we allow them to grow this long is to help the vines survive tough weather conditions, from drought to frost, yet still produce the high quality grapes that give the distinctive Courvoisier taste.

And if you think we're tough on our vines, we're even tougher on ourselves.

Our quality tests are so stringent, we actually use cognac Courvoisier to wash our bottles before we fill them.

And we only put our name to the cognac after it's been matured for considerably longer than French law decrees.

Only then does it warrant the

A farm favourite

Returning to climb the ladder at N.Y .

Estates, Joe Sugden (FrazerHines)

After two years in France, Joe Sugden has returned to Emmerdale Farm. Actor Frazer Hines, who plays Joe, had asked to be written out two years after being with the series since it began. Hines admits that he was somewhat apprehensive about the reception he'd receive from the other actors in the programme. But to his great relief, he says, 'most welcomed me back with open arms.'

Airs food for thought

The Army invades Britain's most famous street.

BET LYNCH must have thought all her dreams had come true when she saw this unit of young squaddies marching past the Rovers. The troops went on manoeuvres in Coronation Street during filming for the forthcoming ITV series Lost Empires, which chronicles the last days of music-hall.

You won't be seeing this shot on screen, however, for filming took place on another Granada Television set. In order to get to the studio canteen, the men had to march along Coronation Street.

MIKE BALDWIN'S factory girls in Coronation Street buy so many barn cakes from Alf Robert's shop that there are few left for other customers. A week seldom goes by without Alf having to apologise for the shortage.

It's the early shopper who lands the harm cakes in the Street, so here's a little treat for those who haven't tasted them, and want to find out what they are missing.

Take 1/apt (150m1) waiin

milk; Apt water; 1 tsp caster sugar; 1 tsp dried yeast; llb (500g) strong white flour, sifted; 1 tsp salt; 2oz lard.

Mix the milk and water and dissolve sugar in warm liquid. Sprinkle in dried yeast and stir to dissolve.

Leave in a warm place for

10-15 minutes, or until frothy. Mix flour and salt.

Rub in lard until the mix resembles crumbs. Add yeast liquid and mix to make a soft dough.

Knead dough on a

lightly-floured worktop until smooth and elastic and no longer sticky.

Mould into a ball and place in an oiled polythene bag.

Leave in a warm place until doubled in size.

Remove and knead again.

Divide into 10 pieces, shape into flat rounds, and roll to lcm thick. Place on a floured baking tray and dust with more flour. Cover with a damp cloth until doubled in size again. Bake at gas mark 6 (400°F 200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

22 December-20 January

Don't jump to conclusions or rush into anything without thinking the situation through step by step. Your ingenuity and inventiveness is mindblowing, and could help you to find a solution to any emotional or professional holes you're in. A surprise letter will take you aback.

Taurus

Look ahead with the stars Cancer

21 April-21 May Saturday starts a fortunate financial phase. So, if buying, selling, investing or wanting to make extra cash, now is the time to set your mind on money matters. Your relationships need careful attention if you're currently batting on a sticky partnership wicket.

22 June-23 July

ergo 24 A ugust-23 September

Scorpio

A gentle, sweet and tender time is nigh and helps you to understand and care for others' needs. Relationships take on a discreet and private tone and some of you might have to contend with an unrequited love. Don't let others use you without giving something in return.

More haste, less speed in matters involving the law, documents or government departments. Otherwise, you'll miss salient points or cause yourself unnecessary hassle.

A turn for the better or change in your home-life will brighten up a frenetic week, but don't rely on others.

Anything that has outlived its usefulness or is no longer valid in your life must be discarded now or it will drain you dry. Close relationships are particularly vulnerable and could prove a source of great irritation or destructiveness unless they are stable.

22 May-2I June Apart from a string of social events and invitations, from Saturday until mid-May your world fills with love, happiness and good fortune.

24 September-23 October

Those less fortunate than yourself benefit from your charity. Artistic Leos find their ideas and work accepted by bosses or bigwigs, who see you as sensitive and talented.

Career or domestic changes are well starred for you this week, but matters are out of your control.

An international flavour delights your palate. So get off on your travels or revel in the company of folk from overseas. Any journeys embarked on now will introduce you to love, laughter and lots of cultural experiences you would miss by staying at home.

24 October-22 November

Sagittarius 23 November-21 December A highly energetic week when you're overflowing with a tremendous sense of urgency. Whatever you do now, it can be carried out with decisiveness and incisiveness. Your finances or home-life can improve considerably. Personal aspirations look good.

Imprudent actions and hasty decisions will cause family friction or personal angst, so go out of your way to be very careful. Throw yourself into life's leisure and pleasure pursuits. Your affairs of the heart are laced with a luscious love of the fairytale kind.

Aquarius 21 January-19 February A fabulous phase begins, which will help you to attain many creative goals. All musical or artistic pursuits bring out your desire to entertain or be the centre of attraction. When it comes to amour, Cupid ensures that you're a sought-after and attractive commodity.

Pisces 20 February-20 March Whatever happens this week behind the scenes or in the full glare of publicity will change the whole course of your future. Communication is imperative, although your approach should be modest and subtle. Make contacts and socialise as much as you can.

How miserable it is to suffer from chronic catarrh. It can lead to headaches, sinus pain, runny nose, blockage, etc.

SAY A GENTLE GOODNIGHT TO CONSTIPATION it

a

Natural rhythm restored...overnight If you suffer occasional bouts of frustrating constipation, simply take Ex-Lax just before bedtime. Gentle, reliable Ex-Lax helps you to return to regularity when you want to - in the morning. Because Ex-Lax contains a laxative ingredient which stimulates your body's own natural rhythm overnight. Bringing effective gentle relief without distressing urgency. And because you get this welcome relief in the morning, you'll find your routine isn't disturbed and you can get on with the things you enjoy without any fears of embarrassment.

The laxative action to suit you Mostly all we need to relieve occasional constipation is a little gentle help. On other occasions when constipation is more stubborn, a little extra laxative is required. This is the really great advantage of choosing Ex-Lax Chocolate Laxative. You see, with Ex-Lax you can break off just the right amount of laxative you need. A whole square or half a square. Ex-Lax puts you in control. Just select the laxative action your body needs to retrain its natural rhythm.

it

TVTIMES 26 A pril-2 May 1986

The pleasant tasting laxative Ex-Lax Chocolate Laxative makes a pleasant change from most pills and medicines, and its proven laxative action means it's the tasty way to effective constipation relief. Because it's such a pleasant laxative, Ex-Lax is an ideal constipation remedy for your family's medicine cupboard.

Remember constipation is an occasional problem you need to be prepared for the next time it occurs.

Laxatives for every need Some people have a preference for pills. They find Ex-Lax Pills have the same proven Ex-Lax action. Or you may prefer to try Bonomint. an effective laxative that's a fresh minty chewing gum. While for that more stubbom constipation, there's Brooklax - a chocolate laxative with 30% extra laxative power. Remember they all bring that gentle, dependable overnight relief because they contain the same laxative ingredient as Ex-Lax. Whichever you prefer, you'll find your laxative choice at chemists everywhere.

If Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has played to his top form he should be the star attraction in this afternoon's final and, as a Monte Carlo resident, he will not be short of support as he chases the winner's cheque of around £40,000. His likely opponent is the brilliant Swede Mats Wilander, winner here in 1983 and runner-up the last two years. French fans will be hoping that Noah and Leconte have upset the seedings and the two other Swedes, Edberg and Nystroem, could well have made it through to the five-set final.

And as Gas is still one of the cheapest ways to heat water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there's little to compare with it for keeping hot water bills down.

With a Gas water heating system, a hot shower can cost less than 2 1/2p. A hot bath costs no more than around 12p.

And it's as cheap during the day as it is at night.

In fact, it's calculated that a family of five using Gas hot water can save over [100 per year.

Nicholas Humphrey tackles these questions, and looks at phenomena such as hypnosis, in his investigation of human childhood. A baby is born knowing nothing, but by the time it has grown up, Humphrey argues, it has become a master 'natural psychologist'.

Why was a dead elephant found in the camp swimming pool? How did Charlie Drake send the camp vicar to heaven once a week? Who was the Butlin's executive caught in a girl camper's chalet by her mother? How do you hypnotise a chicken?

This documentary provides the answers. As for the redcoats who became stars, Roy Hudd, Ted Rogers, Charlie Drake and many more make their own contribution to the programme.

420 NEW SERIES Treasures of the Mindlord

SU EVANS GEOFFREY BOND IA:CB McMANUS An entertaining and informative introduction to the world of antiques: how they were used, what they are worth and where to collect them. This new 13-part series starts with a look at trams and the glory days of steamdriven trains. Wrestler Mick McManus, who used to run an antiques shop, gives viewers a peep into his private collection. A team of top valuers put prices on a bewildering assortment of antiques brought along by you at home. Geoffrey Bond has useful tips to help you sort out the gems from the junk

First of seven computerbased quiz programmes for school whizzkids set in exotic locations. Even the ghosts fled from an ancient Devon manorhouse when Enyon the Mindlord beamed down from outer space with a grumpy computer and a band of eccentric helpers. Their mission? To put the children of Earth through a labyrinth of tests and tricks, with time to judge whether they are worthy of joining the Mindlord's intergalactic federation. First into the maze - earthlings from St Nicholas School, Exeter, and the Isles of Scilly School.

Have you woken up to Me great new breakfast taste?

Breakfast Milk is new.

It's fresh milk of the finest quality that's been specially homogenised to give you a consistent smooth texture and superb taste — right to the very last drop.

So on cereals it's absolutely unbeatable and makes breakfast really special. As a cool refreshing drink it's simply delicious. In coffee you'll love the taste.

Of course Breakfast Milk is full of natural goodness and energy— there's nothing added,

nothing taken away— so for kids it makes a great start to the day.

What's more, because it can be stored in the freezer you need never run out.

Breakfast Milk is available from selected NBREKT supermarkets so look for it in the dairy cabinet. It's a taste you'll be glad you woke up to.

Sunday: Zastrozzi

D

ant ask Max Wall about his comeback if you want to keep him happy. As far as he is concerned, he's never been away.

And, when you realise he is now 78, you understand why suggesting otherwise can verge on the insulting.

'If Laurence Olivier in his heyday did a play in the West End, you might not see him for a long time after it finished,' says Wall, who appears as a drunk priest and voyeur in Sunday's episode of 7actrozzi, Channel Four's four-part adaptation of Shelley's tragi-comic romance.

'Then, when he did another one, no one said he was having a comeback But they always have picked on me and said that every time I did something new it was a comeback.'

One of my most treasured memories is of seeing Wall on_ stage at the London Coliseum playing the lime-study man' in

----n11111Mingti_j At 78, Max W all can reflect on a career that has taken him from eccentric dancing (left) to a role in Channel Four's 'Zastrozzi'.

The Pajama Game.

And, said his song, 'a time-study man studies time'.

How much studying of time is he doing now that he is 78?

'I don't study time at all,' he replies, somewhat offended. 'It's just another number to me. That's all.'

When he played the title role in John Osborne's play The Entertainer, most of the critics agreed that it was ideal casting - the comic who rarely felt very comical, and trying desperately for a comeback.

Yet Wall insists that isn't the way he is at all. 'I think life's very funny indeed,' he says. And he laughs the way he laughs makes you wonder whether it really is that funny.

We are talking in a car in a street in the unfashionable part of Blackheath, South London, because he doesn't like conducting interviews in his home, for reasons of simple privacy.

Wall is plainly a sensitive man - which is why so much has been VTIMES 26 A pril-2 May 1986

.â&#x20AC;&#x17E;4174

made in previous interviews about his sad expression.

'Of course Tm emotional,' he says. 'I'm full of emotion. I couldn't do it unless I was. Most people in this business are.'

Even if Wall isn't a name on everyone's lips any more, nothing will take away the love he feels for his work 'Nothing's hard, not if you love it,' he says, not laughing. He has gone from eccentric dancing to acting in serious plays, but he emphasises that the transformation is 'an evolutionary process'.

Wall does not have a very high opinion of today's stars. 'Look at the people they've got on now who are considered the greats,' he says, not finishing his sentence except with one of those roaring laughs.

'I think it's funny. I don't get upset about it. I've had a great career. There's nothing personal in it. I remember what poor old Arthur Askey said to me two days before he died "I think we've seen the best of it."

'And I'm inclined to agree. I'm not one of those old gentlemen who say, "In my day, this," or, "in my day, that. . ."

'I think it was a nicer world,

anyway. But you can't blame that on today's young people. It's just the way of the world.

'I could see the changes coming as long ago as the early Fifties, when I did The Pajama Game. Then the rock groups came in.

Music-hall had all finished by then.'

But Wall does emphasise that he is not sorry for himself. Tve never run after work in my life,' he says. 'I used to work 45 weeks a year for Stoll theatres and Moss Empires. And, in between, I did West End shows. I was working for C B Cochran at the London Pavilion at the age of 18.

People today wouldn't be allowed to sweep up there. I worked at the Empire Theatre, Leicester Square, and the Hippodrome.

'Our business was always full and always welcoming new people the West End people, the cinema people and the music-hall people.'

Wall stresses that it is the world, not the people in it, that he considers funny. He says: 'I look at the television and can't understand how some people could be put on there and expect to be regarded in the same way as the late Eric Morecambe when he was part of Morecambe and Wise. He was a brilliant comedian and, together, both were brilliant.

They were class people who had served a long apprenticeship and knew what they were doing. The Two Ronnies are the same, individually and together. But some of the others. . . they are all right, but nothing much else.

'I learned to be funny in movement, in the days when I wasn't allowed to be heard. Max Wall and His Obedient Feet. Three different routines of dancing. Leg-mania, eccentric and tap-dancing.

I got laughs for my dancing and body movement and then went into comedy afterwards. It took me a long, long time to do it. They start at the top today.'

But, if you start at the top, someone is likely to say your next appearance is a comeback. Max Wall knows a lot about that.

Racial harmony I am a black student at Keele

University and have been the victim of racism on and off campus on many occasions.

One incident I shall never forget. When coming back from Newcastle-under-Lyme, I sat down next to an old lady. on the bus. She jumped up as if stung by a bee. I smiled and took no notice, but decided I would talk to her.

So I got off the bus when she did and asked if I might carry her bag. She turned round, really shocked, and said, 'Nigger.' I still smiled and asked her again, and this time she said 'OK' I walked with her to her front door, and then she asked for my address. Soon after I received a letter apologising and saying all sorts of nice things.

What pleases me is that on my own I succeeded in 'converting' one racist. I hope others do the same.

Eric Keele University Staffordshire I'm sending you i10 for my Letter of The W eek.

Ignorance so often breeds fear, and fear is often to blame for rudeness and insults. Y ou have proved, yet again, that person-to-person contact can break down so many barriers.

Post post-natal I have just recovered from post-natal depression. After a long, exhausting labour, I had a beautiful girl, but found myself feeling very down and insecure. I spent three months in a mother and baby unit Ln a mental hospital I am now home, completely better, and for the first time really enjoying the company of my daughter. I hope this letter will encourage other mothers to get help if they feel down even if they just talk it over with someone. There really is light at the end of the tunnel Mrs S Morrell Lincoln Thank you for such an encouraging letter. A ny young mother who feels unable to cope can contact The A ssociation for Post-natal Illness, 7 Gowan A venue,

Fulham, London SW 6 6RH. Members who have suffered in the past will make telephone contact. The National Childbirth Trust, 9 Queensborough Terrace, London W 2 3TB, will also offer information in the form of a booklet entitled Mothers W riting A bout Post-natal Depression' (price £1 including p and p), and access to a nationwide network of mother and baby groups. There is also a really excellent booklet, W hat is Post-natal Depression', by Dr Margaret R Oates, available if you send a sae to Broadcasting Support Services, PO Box 4000, London W 3 6X J.

Homespun yam When my golden retrievers moult, I long to have their hair spun into yarn so that I could knit it into a jersey. Do you know anyone who would do this and what it would cost?

Anthea Bingley Cheltenham, Gloucestershire A t last I have the answer for all those of you who have asked me about this over the years. Send a sae to Mrs M McGuire, 16 Carron Close, Sinfi.n, Derby DE2 9LH. I spoke to her at Crufts dog show and know that she welcomes enquiries and will send a most helpful leaflet.

Her prices vary from E1-20 to £2 per finished ounce of yarn, according to breed.

Heated debate My wife uses a heated brush on her hair every morning. I maintain that this is drying out the hair and making it lose its shape. She seems to need perms more often. Am I right?

John Shirley Gosport, Hampshire Yes, you are. The continual use of heated brushes or tongs does dry out the hair, but if it has been well cut it should not alter the shape. I suggest that your wife uses a home conditioning treatment, as I do, to counteract the effect of heated rollers. Here are three methods and recipes for her to choose from. She could damp the hair, spread Henna W ax

Money-savers Wide of the mark

cream on thickly, comb through and leave for 15 minutes before shampooing and rinsing thoroughly. Or, make a mayonnaise of egg yolk and a teaspoon of vinegar into which half a cup of sunflower oil is slowly beaten (add a mashed half avocado for extra nourishment), massage in, leave on and shampoo as above. Full fat yoghurt is another excellent natural conditioner, used in the same way as the other two treatments. A final tip: when the quarter of an hour is up, put the shampoo on the head before the rinsing water or you'll be a rather oily mess!

Turned off I am a 25-year-old woman, married with three children and a good and kind husband. But something has gone wrong and it is making me feel very bad. If my husband tries to touch me or make love to me, I turn very cold and feel sick. I don't think I have ever really enjoyed sex and do not know what I should feel. Is there anyone 1 could talk to?

Mrs J Birmingham Y es, there is. Please go at once to see your GP. He is used to people having this kind of problem. I do promise that although it is very distressing, it is not abnormal in any way. He will give you a letter of referral to a psychosexual clinic on the National Health Service. If you feel that your doctor is unsympathetic or you are embarrassed, ring your local Family Planning clinic and it will give you an address. Y ou can also get this information from London on 01-636 7866. Y ou can then brave your doctor and, without going into detail, tell him you would like a letter of referral to this clinic.

I would like to make some protest about women's shoes in wider fittings. They are always stuck at the back of the shoe shop window and the styles never change. The colours speak for themselves: black, brown, beige and burgundy. The front of the windows are filled with the most beautiful shades and shapes of shoes. Must I be penalised for wide feet?

Mrs V Rudd Ilford, Essex The British Footwear Manufacturers Federation, Royalty House, 72 Dean Street, London W IV 5E13, has come up with a suggestion.

Have you been enquiring only in multiple retailers, perhaps ignoring the smaller, often more accommodating, independently run shops? The BFMF says Clarks, Ss and especially V an-Dal, all manufacture fashion shoes in pretty colours and supply these for wide feet. Do write to the BFIV EF for its W omen's Shoe List, which details manufacturers of footwear and the type of shoes they produce. Contact these addresses for your nearest stockist. For women with large (size 8 1/2-11) feet or tiny (13-21/2) feet, The Small and Tall Shoe Shop, 71 Y ork Street, London W 1H 2BJ, has a most fashionable range, to buy in person or mail order.

Scale of problem Disabled people, in general, are inclined to put on more weight than their able-bodied counterparts. Taking this into consideration, could you, or any of your readers, please explain why there is such a shortage of weighing scales on which you can sit?

Helen Ricketts (Miss) Finchley, London W hen I enquired about this, I was astonished to find that you can't buy this sort of scale cheaply. W eighing chairs are extremely expensive; the cheapest I could find was between £300

It is not always easy for some of us to try to help others who are worse off, but I have a plan which works. Whenever I get a money-off coupon, I cut it out and use it for shopping but do not spend the money I save. I put the money in a jar and keep it.

Then when the charity envelopes come through the letterbox I have a little spare money and I don't have to touch my pension.

Mrs J Welling Watford, Hertfordshire

Accident prone Could you please tell me where I could purchase a 'Baby on Board' car sticker?

Mrs A Perrin Hereford and Worcester I am not going to be very helpful on this one, I'm afraid.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of A ccidents is not keen on any stickers in the back windows of cars, as they obscure some of the view and other drivers may come closer than they should to try and read them. A young mum's magazine which used to promote them has withdrawn its support on RoSPA 's advice. Much better to make it a rule that your children are properly strapped in at all times.

Last word Thank you for printing the letter about making new Christmas cards from last year's old ones. While working for a Guide badge I also tried to help save trees by buying recycled paper from our local Traidcraft group and reusable envelope labels from Friends of the Earth (£1.20 for 100). You can buy both from Friends of the Earth (Birmingham) Ltd, 54-57 Allison Street, Digbeth, Birmingham B5 5TH. Joanna Chamberlayne Hereford and Worcester There's always £10 for the Letter of The Week. Katie regrets that she is unable to enter into individual correspondence.
