Just the ticket When the TVTimes and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards are considered for 1985, head of the queue for nominations must be the London Transport doubledecker bus which gave such a powerful performance in ITVs Busman (sorry, Bulman) during June. It appeared on every location, bringing a touch of London to the streets of Manchester and showing great versatility by changing its route and destination indicators.

I found Letters From a

Bomber Pilot, on ITV, very informative as well as moving.

The wartime scenes brought back many memories. My brother, who flew Blenheims and Bostons, was one of the lucky ones. My fiancé was shot down in 1944. Later I married an air gunner, a survivor from a Sunderland crew. The film was a wonderful tribute to those brave young men Mrs L Hammer Hove, East Sussex

many disappointed viewers after the appearance of Richard Clayderman in ITVs Des O'Connor Now. His picture in TVTimes with Des and a caption telling us of his prowess as a player, whetted my appetite. But what did we get? The same old tune I seem to have heard him playing in all previous TV appearances, followed by a duet with Des, who apparently insists on appearing with all his guests.

Gifted instrumentalists should be allowed and encouraged to play on their own and give viewers the benefit of their talent. It was a real let down!

Channel Four should be congratulated for presenting a rock music show which is at last worthy of the description.

ECT made a most welcome change to our regular diet of odious pop prima donnas, and even put the superfluous gabble of The Tube in perspective. Please give us more specialist non-stop music shows, less saturating coverage of this years rock stars, and get rid of all those pretentious clever-dick presenters.

A sincere thank you to all concerned with Letters From a Bomber Pilot, based on the

wartime letters of Bob Hodgson. Arguments on the strategy and tactics of RAF Bomber Command may continue, but the courage of . aircrews has never been questioned. I was too young for military service but old enough to appreciate the courage shown by so many.

To many of my generation, bomber crews were our heroes.

Spirited attack I found the remarks made by Arthur C Clarke in his World of Strange Powers on ITV, most irritating. He obviously does not believe in anything pertaining to the paranormal.

Wouldn't it have been fairer to viewers to have someone who was less biased and more knowledgeable, instead of Mr Clarke and his cynical theories? These interesting topics were quite spoilt for me and I had to turn the programme off.

1:13 Saturday: Meteor ean Cannery's friend Michael Caine reminds you that of course he's a star; look at the "size" of him'.

Director John Huston calls him 'a huge personality'.

His Bond films are estimated to have made 525 million dollars.

And now he is in the process of suing the James Bond film-makers — MGMUA and producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli — for £170 million, which includes money he claims he's owed from the profits of the films.

Yes, everything associated with Sean Connery — trying to save the world in Meteor (1979) on ITV on Saturday — tends to be outsize.

Even when he decides to take a holiday, it becomes a mega-holiday. That's why little was heard from the Connery camp for most of 1984. But now the superstar has emerged, his batteries recharged.

It's all happened before, of course. Back in the early Seventies, he announced that his years of Bondage were over. He made Diamonds A re Forever (1971), but only on condition that £1 million was donated to an educational foundation of his choice and that he could make two films of his own choosing. One was The Offence, a powerful psychological thriller released in 1972, which represented a total aboutface from his Bond image.

He had earlier decided to quit the Bond scene because neither the cash nor the scripts he had wanted had materialised.

He was even quoted as saying at that time: 'I won't stay an actor, that's for sure.' He wanted to depart from double-0 to direct, but a film script of Macbeth he had written ran into a dead-end when Roman Polanski completed his own 1971 version.

It was a time of personal and professional crisis for Connery. But that was dispelled by a new wife, Micheline (she succeeded actress Diane Cilento), a new home, a new agent.

And the result was a new impetus to his career.

It was a period that yielded the kind of subtle character creations, foreshadowed by The Offence, that many said were beyond his scope:

4

the bitter-sweet Danny of Huston's The Man Who Would Be King (1975); his oddball, over-the-hill Robin of Dick Lester's Robin and Marian (1976); Douglas in Fred Zinnemann's Five Days One Summer.

Those Seventies and early Eighties films also brought him substantial wealth, restored his dignity and revived his crusty Scottish sense of purpose.

Thus equipped, he promptly startled everybody in 1983. . . by returning to the Bond fray, with Never Say Never A gain, the 'unofficial' Bond movie that became the fly in Cabby Broccoli's eye.

Ironically, and unhappily, the Connerymade Bond varied little from the much-criticised Seventies formula. The movie was launched in a wash of publicity that was squarely pitched against Octopussy, -the Broccoli Bond of the season. After 18 months, Variety, the showbiz newspaper, marked the score sheet: Octopussy took 34 million dollars; Never Say Never A gain, 28 million. Huge profits for both, but that was beside the point.

'Connery likes to win,' film director John Boorman explains.

And so the mega-holiday began gloomily. 'The movie was not as much fun as it could have been,' Connery reported.

The comparative inactivity in the Connery camp in Spain during 1984 stimulated rumours of another career change, even retirement.

However, the summer of 1985 sees him emerging anew, with his new manager and his pixie powerhouse Micheline.

Currently he is flexing his frame in Highlander, aptly a Scots-based fantasy and an epic, no less, costing 14 million dollars to make.

There is now talk of the major role in Taipan, to be shot in China this autumn, and maybe even some experimental comedy. Yes, Sean Connery is right back in business.

Wednesday: Razzmatazz

Invasion ofthcsexY rockers

E

ight years ago, a peroxide blonde shook the pop world to its roots as no woman had before, and paraded sex appeal brazenly through music in a fashion millions simply could not resist. Though the group Blondie has long since bowed out of the arena, its lead singer, Debbie Harry, made a mark and left an influence which has not been forgotten. Her unashamedly glamorous pouting and posing became a blueprint for a string of aspiring successors in a business which has traditionally been no place for a lady.

Female singers have, of course, always broken into the industry — but rarely with the presence or charisma of Debbie.

Today, women rockers are emerging with a vengeance, and in a healthy variety of styles, images and abilities.

Razzmatazz has a US All-Star Special this Wednesday on ITV, spotlighting a line-up of rising recording artists, among them Missing Persons and Berlin—two pop groups fronted by women, each of which has attracted a certain controversy.

The musical battle which has constantly raged between Britain and America is currently in full swing and— on the female front at least — the Americans appear to be winning, Dale Bozzio,a singer with Missing Persons, has a notoriety earned from leaping around on stage in less than conventional costume. 'I like bizarre outfits made from plastics and materials not normally used in clothes design,' says the performer who, like Debbie Harry, is a former Playboy Bunny girl. 'My attire is not meant to be deliberately outrageous. And, anyway, when I'm on stage I'm always wearing more than you'd see most girls wearing on a beach.'

Berlin's claim to fame has been the release of a song called Sex, which was promptly banned by radio stations across America — neatly affording the group and its black-andblonde-headed vocalist, Terri Nunn, a barrage of publicity.

Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner— perhaps the godmother of them all— have each been successfully waving their nation's flag around the world recently. In response, British talent has thrown up a mere sprinkling of singers — such as Sade, Alison Moyet and Annie Lennox of The Eurythmics.

Razzmatazz presenter Alastair Pirrie firmly believes that feminine talent is now thin on the ground in British music: When the show first started, there was a lot of it, such as Toyah, Kim Wilde and Kate Bush. Some of them are still around, others are not—but there does seem to be a lack of women like them. 'The American glamour machine, on the other hand, has responded to this gap in the market for rock'n'roll women pin-ups—and filled it.' Time was when the situation differed, but then the glory days of singers such as Lulu, Sandie Shaw, Dusty Springfield and Petula Clark in the Swinging Sixties have gone for ever.

Mike Hrano Two of the sexiest of the new breed of female rock singers are Terri Nunn of Berlin, main picture, and Dale Bozzio, a singer with Missing Persons.

Tragedy that naurns the tall ships

TVTIMES 3-9 A ugust 1985

oys from the dole queue, from the factory floor and from public school and university, coming together to sail across dangerous seas, share great adventures and, on the way, learn the lessons of comradeship and survival — this is what Tall Ship racing is all about.

Sunday night's Channel Four documentary, Transatlantic Diary, tells the story of 20 teenagers on board the tall ship Donald Searle, Their journey begins in the shadow of a tragedy. The film opens with the young crew watching a news item about the sinking of fellow tall ship, Marques, in which 19 people lost their lives. Later, the boys meet a survivor who tells how the vessel, known to millions through appearances in programmes such as The Onedin Line and The Voyage of Charles Darwin, went down in 45 seconds. The cause of the rapid sinking remains a mystery.

Shirley Cooklin's son, Ben Bryant, aged 18, was one of the boys who died on Marques.

In her cosy Victorian town house in London's Camden Town, Shirley puts aside the radio play she has almost finished writing, to

`Transatlantic Diary', on ITV, tells the story of the 1984 Tall Ships Race, during which tragedy struck the magnificent `Marques' (pictured above on her last day, 20 June). She sank that night, going down in 45 seconds off the coast of Bermuda. Among the 19 people who drowned was Ben Bryant, 18 (top), who had nourished a lifelong passion for sailing. His mother, dramatist Shirley Cooklin (above), remembers her son's enthusiasm and is now spearheading a campaign to solve the mystery of the ship's sudden end.

continued from page 7 draft yet another letter to the Ministry of Transport.

In it, she asks some awkward questions about the sinking of Marques, which went down off the coast of Bermuda more than a year ago, taking the life of Ben and 18 others.

Shirley's battles against officialdom are a matter of record. As a Voluntary Associate (prison visitor) for 10 years, she fell in love with a man jailed for murder. She challenged the Home Office on his behalf and forced the parole board to reexamine his case. She later married the man. (The story of her romance was recently dramatised in the BBC 2 play Knockback, starring Pauline Coffins.)

'Please believe me,' says Shirley, 'I don't like heading up campaigns. I don't see myself as a great crusader. I'd rather get on with my radio plays — earn my living. But I can't close my eyes to injustice.

I must stand up and be counted.'

Dainty, charming and softly spoken, Shirley has the eyes of a fighter. They gleam like a cat's and they can wither or encourage at will.

'I hate to use the term cover-up,' she says, 'but what am Ito think after all the dragging of feet; the secrecy and evasion I have met with in my attempts to discover the truth? It's hard to come to terms with the death of a child. To be uncertain whether that death was the result of negligence is unbearable.'

Worrying details concerning the sinking of the vessel have fanned Shirley's desire to get at the truth. Government investigators have been studying the facts since the Marques sank but, as yet, no results have been published. Co-owner of the vessel, Cecil Wright, is now under a High Court injunction brought by his former partner, Mark Lichfield, which prevents him talking about the sinking of the Marques to the press or to relatives of those who died. Lichfield has also issued a writ for libel against The Sunday Times for an article it printed on the subject of the accident in June.

Says Shirley: 'Only an inquiry will clear up the suspicions. Other recent TVTIMES 3-9 A ugust 1985

tragedies, including the bomb in the Grand Hotel, Brighton, and the fire at Bradford football ground, have merited immediate inquiries. I can't understand why it has taken the Government more than a year to announce a date for the Marques inquiry.'

John Hamilton, Race Trainer of the rutty Sark Tall Ships Race, a man who has devoted his life to teaching teenagers to sail safely, denies that tall

held in October, is long overdue.

Shirley recalls Ben's first interest in sailing. When he was eight, we went on holiday to France. I'm a dinghy sailor and. as we were staying near a sailing school, I decided to treat myself to a few lessons. He came along, too, and loved it. Next year, he went to sailing school and, although he didn't much care for the theory, he loved the sailing. It was the nearest thing to paradise

before he could buy his own dinghy. By chance, he heard about auditions for a television commercial for

The Sunday Times.

It wanted someone to play the part of a paper boy. On the day of the audition, he forgot his front-door key and was forced to break into the house, via the coalhole.

Ben turned up at the auditions covered in soot and without an actor's Equity card. The producer liked the look of him and

Mealmakers from New Zealand Lamb ships are too dangerous for trainees to race or that the rules under which the ships race are too lax 'We have been running these races at the rate of two a year since 1956 without mishap,' he says.

'But, like any adventurous sport, sailing is not riskfree. You are bound to have occasional accidents despite all the precautions.'

However, he agrees with Shirley that the public inquiry, scheduled to be

for him.'

Sailing holidays followed. By the time Ben was 13 he knew enough about the theory of sailing to take his advanced certificate. But he was told he would have to wait until he was older, and therefore physically stronger.

Shirley couldn't afford to buy him a boat. Ben started saving the money he earned from doing a paper round, but needed to make a lot more money

gave him the job on the spot. With the money from the commercial, Ben bought his first boat. At 14, he was sailing in a regatta and, at 15, he went on his first tall ship.

In 1982, Ben entered the Tall Ships Race. He was on board the United Friendly — the ship that won. On this trip, he came across a German training ship, manned by boys who would otherwise have been in a remand home.

'This impressed him,'

says Shirley. 'It became his dream to own a boat like this, where youngsters from less fortunate backgrounds might discover the freedom and excitement he had experienced.'

After crossing the Atlantic in a small boat, Ben then joined the Marques for the fatal Tall Ships Race of 1984.

Shirley says she always worried about Ben when he was away sailing. 'I worried about him from the moment he stood up, because he was always an adventurous type; the one who wanted to climb the highest tree, walk along walls or go on long bike rides. I tried to channel his adventurous spirit into what I hoped would be safe and character-forming activities. I was especially worried when he sailed the Atlantic in a small boat.

When he was taken on board the Marques, I was happy. I thought, "What could be safer than a ship being used to train youngsters to sail, entering a race under the rules of the British and American sail training associations?" ' Despite the tragedy of losing her son and the cloud which hangs over the cause of the accident, Shirley is still convinced of the benefits of teaching young people to sail. Her belief is such that she has formed the Ben Bryant Trust, a registered charity which aims to raise money to teach children from underprivileged backgrounds to sail.

Shirley Cooklin sees the trust as a fulfilment of her son's own ambitions.

'I hope the trust will achieve what Ben might have achieved, had he lived. But the fact that I'm raising money to teach kids to sail doesn't mean that I want to send any of them to their death. We must find out why Marques sank. If it turns out to have been an Act of God, I will be relieved. But if any negligence is found, we must take steps to see that nothing like it ever happens again.'

❑ Tuesday: Enola Gay t 0200 hours, 9 August 1945, on the Pacific island of Tinian, Group Captain Leonard Cheshire climbed into the belly of an American B-29 bomber.

After him came Bill (now Sir William) Penney, a physicist. They were the two British observers of the dropping of the atom bomb which, nine hours later, was to kill more than 73,000 people in the Japanese town of Nagasaki. Three days earlier, the first A-bomb had been dropped on the city of Hiroshima, and Channel Four marks the 40th anniversary of that day with the TV film Enola Gay, the title being the name of the B-29 aircraft that dropped the Hiroshima bomb.

Last year, Cheshire returned to Japan for the first time. It was in 1981 that Japan's first Cheshire Home was opened in Kobe, established to care for 50 physically disabled young people, and the country's second Home opened a few weeks ago. While in Japan, Cheshire was asked by Japanese journalists if he considered himself a war criminal. His British colleagues were stunned.

In Britain, Group Captain Leonard Cheshire VC, OM, DSO, DFC, a devout Christian, is widely admired and respected for his activities in both peace and war. In 1948, he started The Leonard Cheshire Foundation, which has spread to 45 countries and cares for thousands of physically disabled people in more than 200 Cheshire Homes.

'Their question was understandable,' says Cheshire. 'Even now, the Japanese consider the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki as futile and unnecessary.

But that opinion is misguided.'

Cheshire sets out his case — The meaning of the bomb' — in his new book The Light of Many Suns (published this month by Methuen at £7.95). 'In it I tried to set out the thoughts that ran through my mind on that awesome day,' he says.

Apart from the weather plane, there were three B29 Superfortresses on the Nagasaki mission.

Cheshire's carried photographic equipment, another the scientific

'I was familiar with this monster weapon. I had been introduced to it two weeks earlier. It was kept in a Nissen hut, surrounded by a disorderly array of tools, gadgets and manuals. The physicist in charge, Luis Alvarez, explained its functions to me, and then casually flicked open a yellow box lying on the floor. Inside was a metallic sphere the size of a soccer

'The shock of that moment lives as vividly in my memory as does the far more traumatic event a fortnight later over Nagasaki,' Cheshire says.

He remembers pulling on the gloves and placing his hand on the bomb. 'It was like the first time you touch a live snake. You recoil from

As the B-29s flew through the night, Cheshire contemplated the moral issues of the mission. It is hard, after 40 years of peace, to imagine our feelings in those terrible days,' says Cheshire. 'More than 55 million people had already died in the war. The Americans were still suffering tens of thousands of casualties fighting in the Pacific. And worst of all the Japanese refused to consider surrender. Their military dictators, the Gumbutsu, descendants of the Samurai, swore "A hundred million will die, but Japan's national essence will survive!"

The battle for Okinawa, in the spring of 1945, demonstrated the lengths they would go to in selfdefence. Twelve thousand American crack fightingmen were killed in the assault. The Japanese Army lost more than 100,000 men; they forced hundreds of civilians to leap from cliffs rather than surrender, and made schoolchildren walk across a minefield in front of the Army to spare the soldiers' lives.'

As they approached the target, Cheshire recalls how conflicting were his feelings concerning the enemy being given only short notice of the raid.

How many could have saved themselves, if they had known of the approach of the bomber?

'But I realised that it was essential to the mission that the Japanese military were not given time to get squadrons of their deadly Zero fighters above us, to blow us out of the sky.

Furthermore, they had threatened to move thousands of Allied prisoners-of-war into the target zone.'

On the journey to Nagasaki, Cheshire began experiencing strong feelings of moral revulsion.

He peered out of a port side window to catch his fast sight of mainland Japan.

'It looked for all the world like Cornwall, along which I had once flown after a difficult raid into France, and which had then seemed so attractive and welcoming. That inspired another memory — of a beautiful summer day at school and of sitting under a tree. In my mind I was a boy once again, dreaming of the things I Group Captain Leonard Cheshire— an official British observer of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945.

would like to do with my life. And here I was on an errand of death.'

At 1100 hours, the bomb aimer shouted: 'I've got it.

I see the city. I'll take it now.' At 1101 hours the bomb dropped.

We had been staring intently around us looking for the explosion,' says Cheshire.

'Suddenly there was a cry on the intercom and to port we saw a gigantic plume of billowing white smoke. Our pilot swung the nose into line with the flash of light. The flash was turning into a vast fireball which slowly became dense smoke, 2000ft above the ground. It was half a mile in diameter and rising at something like 20,000ft a minute.

'I was overcome not by its size, but by its shape.

The more frightening because it gave the impression of having its immense power under full and deadly control. My whole being felt overwhelmed. First, by a tidal wave of relief and hope: it's all over. Then by revulsion against using such a weapon.'

They were all silent on the way home. Almost out of fuel they landed at Okinawa. A mechanic came running up and yelled: 'Guess what... they've dropped a second atom bomb.'

Later a sergeant spoke to them in the canteen.

'Have you heard the news?' he asked. 'Yes, they've dropped another atom bomb,' said Cheshire wearily.

'No,' said the sergeant.

'The Japs have surrendered. The war's over.'

To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Japan, Channel Four is also showing this week a series of films and documentaries with a nuclear theme. On Sunday there's the film The Day After Trinity, two programmes are shown on Wednesday, The Nuclear Holocaust and Or Shall We Die?, and Friday's movie is The A tomic Cafe.

On the same channel next Saturday you can see the documentary Acceptable Risk and from Tuesday to Thursday next week there's the highly-praised film The Human Condition,

by Japanese director Kobayashi.

Your luck in the stars Aries 21 March-20 April

Libra 24 September-23 October

Apart from suffering a large dose of delusion, you're in spanking form. Your creative and intellectual talents are in a sensational state. But be very careful of your love-life, which is prone to gross deception on one level or another. Your imagination is devastatingly delectable, with anything requiring a refined or sophisticated touch being yours for the taking. All travel is mind-blowing, these days.

Look at your career or domestic situation and see if either needs a soft touch, or whether you've got to turn a blind eye to certain goings-on going on! Because of the fantasy element in the skies, seeing isn't necessarily believing and a small wodge of white lies may have to be rehearsed to get you through this very impractical week.

Financially, things improve via the help of a powerful friend or ally.

Taurus 21 A pril-21 May

Scorpio 24 October-22 November

Nefarious activities may mean a cover-up is going on in one or two areas of your life — or is it that you're just blind to the truth?

Artistically, you are highly-tuned to all tests set for you, but once you get beyond the more genteel things of life, you're lost. It seems that your practical touch deserts you just at the time you become aware of all the beautiful' things the world has to offer.

Gemini 22 May-21 June You never seem to be totally free of the mental hardships brought on by the astral aspects that surround you. This is a particularly restrictive week when you feel unsure and inadequate, especially at work, where praise or thanks is as rare as a snowball in Arabia. Healthwise, you need a rest, but can't escape self-inflicted worries or doubts. Try to look on the bright side of life at the moment.

There's so much to play for in the current innings of your life and this week is especially fascinating, as you have a personality that is so mysteriously attractive.

You'll have a divine understanding on how to steer your life away from the rocky reefs ahead. Study in the arts is especially exciting, but try not to be brought down by occasional bouts of pessimism or feelings of inferiority.

Cancer 22 June-23 July

Capricorn 22 December-20 January

There's something profoundly odd about

Nebulous Neptune plays lots of hallucinating games, leaving you betwixt fantasy and reality. You can't quite focus on your life or get things into perspective, and you're happy to sweep things under the carpet if you don't approve or agree with them. The truth will eventually catch up with you and that's when it will be a bitter pill to swallow.

So it's best not to let anyone lead you away from the straight and narrow.

this week. As you try to get your act together, you are apt to meander off on the wrong track, especially if you listen too much to others and not enough to yourself.

Your love-life looks pulsatingly passionate, but don't be too surprised if you find out a

Relationships on every level, from love to business, blossom with a delicious bloom and delectable scent this week. Your appearance and disposition is startlingly different, with your princely popularity reigning supreme. Your optimism and warmth makes you a delight to behold and you can get just about anyone to succumb to your bidding. You're as good as anyone in this world, so don't take second best.

If there's someone relying too much on you or clinging on to you, it's time to shake them off: they're draining you mentally and emotionally. It won't be easy, but you have your own life to lead. Also, be careful you don't drown in a self-made sea of neuroses or anxieties. A letter or phone call may have to be made to a government department: it will ease your mind in the long run.

If you put your loved one on a pedestal or try to imagine them to be something they're not, you'll be brought down to earth with a bumper bump this week Self-deception smothers the skies, so unless you're

prepared to remove your rose-coloured specs and look at real life, you could do yourself serious harm because of your inability to see the truth when it's staring you in the face.

E Sunday: The Queen Mother at 85 — A Birthday Portrait

Mum in a million n apparently typical London scene: a busy road, traffic roaring by, a young mother with her baby in a pushchair waiting forlornly for the pedestrian lights to change. For some time she gazed at the wall of crawling vehicles, then, suddenly, one of them paused, the rear passenger window was lowered and a smiling face appeared.

'Oh, what a beautiful baby!' said the delighted elderly lady inside.

Then the car moved on, leaving the young mother staring after it, dazed and open-mouthed, struggling to take in the fact that the Queen Mother had just admired her child.

The Queen Mother has a special affinity for children. Every year, on 4 August, crowds gather outside Clarence House to sing happy birthday to her. As soon as she appears, children rush forward to present her with flowers — toddlers with little idea of who she is approach without fear, drawn to the kindly granny figure. A single marigold in a small chubby hand is accepted with as much delight as an expensive bouquet. And this year, on Sunday 4 August, there will be an additional present in the form of ITNs own tribute, showing on ITV. When her own first

A

child, the present Queen, was born on 21 April 1926, her husband, the Duke of York (later King George VI), wrote to his parents: You don't know what a tremendous joy it is to Elizabeth and me to have our little girl. We always wanted a child to make our happiness complete.'

Perhaps one of the few regrets of the Queen Mother's life is that she and her husband were sent by George V on a six-month tour of Australia before their daughter, Elizabeth, was a year old.

They were far away when the baby cut her first teeth, walked her first steps and had her first birthday.

That parting in 1927 was a great wrench. 'I felt very much leaving on Thursday,' she wrote afterwards to her motherin-law, Queen Mary, 'and the baby was so sweet playing with the buttons on Bertie's uniform that it quite broke me up.'

She never forgot the sadness of the occasion and made sure, when Princess Elizabeth and Philip had babies of their own, that they were not sent on extended tours until the children were out of babyhood.

She herself couldn't bear long separations and, when war broke out, firmly quashed suggestions that the two princesses — Elizabeth and Margaret — should be evacuated abroad. 'The children couldn't go without me. I

couldn't go without the King and the King will never leave,' she said.

In later years, particularly after the death of her husband in 1952, the Queen Mother found great happiness with her grandchildren. She's particularly close to Prince Charles who, as a small boy, spent a lot of time with her while his parents were abroad. It was the Queen Mother who kept him quiet at Princess Anne's christening by letting him look through her handbag; it was the Queen Mother who comforted him when he was unhappy at Gordonstoun School; and it was the Queen Mother who introduced him to the arts by taking him to the Royal Opera House.

Over the years the Queen Mother has taken a loving interest in all her grandchildren, and was especially thrilled when the Prince and Princess of Wales made her great grandmother to William, second in line to the throne. Prince William was even christened on 4 August 1982 — the Queen Mother's 82nd birthday.

Towards the end of the ceremony the tiny prince started howling loudly, but the Queen Mother was understanding.

'Quite right. He's wanting lunch,' she said with a smile. 'He's made his first public speech and he's got good lungs!'

The Queen Mother and Prince W illiam,

below, shared a special day— 4 August 1982. It was her 82nd birthday and the date of his baptism. Right: as the public know her, the Queen Mother is the best loved of all royals.

In 1926, with their first child, the then Duke and Duchess of Y ork little knew they would one day be King and Queen Consort and their daughter, Queen Elizabeth IL

How to obtain IT1V's birthday tribute to the Queen Mother is accompanied by a souvenir book written

by Alastair Burnet, above.

THE SECRET of the Queen Mothers success, believes ITNs Alastair Burnet, is that she understands completely what the ordinary person expects of the monarchy.

This is due, in no small way, to her being the first commoner in centuries to become Queen Consort.

Burnet, who has written a book to complement ITV's special programme marking the Queen Mother's 85th birthday, uses phrases like 'being in the business of monarchy' when discussing the role of the Royal Family in British life.

So sharp is the Queen Mother's 'monarchy business' acumen that she is probably the principal reason for the

success of the Royal Family in the present century. 'You've got to go back to ages green to find any queen mother who had such a claim on the public's esteem,' says Burnet, whose commemorative tribute is called The ITN Book of The Queen Mother. Priced at £5.95, and published by ITN in association with Michael O'Mara Books, it can be ordered through TVTimes (see the coupon and other details, far right).

It is very much a book-of-the-film or, in this case, the TV programme. 'Sometimes people like to have a permanent record of special moments, and this book, which has many pictures seen before only on 3-9 A ugust 1985 TVTIMES

The Queen Mother was a loving and much valued companion to all the younger royals during their formative years — Anne and Charles in 1954, left, and Princess Anne's own children, Peter and Zara, below, also with the Queen, last summer.

Never was there a more devoted grandmother.

Here, above, in the late Sixties, she is accompanied by Princess Margaret's children, Lady Sarah and Viscount Linley. This year's Trooping the Colour at Buckingham Palace found the Queen Mother with many young royals.

ITN•s royal tribute television, aims to do that,' says Burnet. 'It recalls the Queen Mother's life and important moments in the life of the country.'

A s well as keeping her finger on the nation's pulse, the Queen Mother also nurtured her father-in-law George Vs wish to raise public awareness of the monarchy as a family — a royal family.

And, as devoted wife and mother, she encouraged and inspired her husband, George VI, and her daughter, Elizabeth II, and finally her grandson, Charles. It is she, many believe, who is the backbone of the Royal Family.

Lion's share of love THE QUEEN Mother was born on 4 August 1900 at 11.31am GMT in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, writes Russell Grant.

The royal sign of Leo, ruled by the sovereign of the skies, the Sun, is the most fitting zodiac sign for our Queen Mother to be born under. Her Majesty has the lion's share of everything this regal sign can endow — warmth, popularity and an endearing style of leadership that gives her a special place in the hearts of her people.

Only a luxurious Leo could command so much esteem in her subjects and rise to every occasion in such flamboyant splendour — just look at those hats.

Diplomatic Libra is the ascending sign so, with the two signs of amour in such powerful positions in the Queen Mother's horoscope, there is a love of colour, the arts, harmony and romance.

Luscious Leo and Libra are always in their element when in love, backing their partner in life through thick and thin; add to this the Moon in Scorpio (deep, intense, psychic feelings) and you have a lady for whom fidelity, justice and refinement are second nature, and who also has more than a little strength of will.

Lizzie's new book is a great favourite with her eight-year-old son, Ben.

rea

Lizzie Webb plans to bri outlhebeasiinyou THERE'S NO better way to start the day than with TVam's lively Lizzie Webb.

Lizzie's workouts have always been popular with children as well as adults, and now she's brought out a book, Exercise Zoo For Kids. Each chapter features a different cartoon animal that shows, with the help of a human pal, how different exercises are done. The sense of great fun in the book reflects the enjoyment Lizzie had writing it. 'I trained as an English, drama and dance teacher, and I've been teaching exercise for 15 years now,' says Lizzie. Some of her earliest success stories were pupils at the Henry Thornton Comprehensive School in Clapham, south London. 'I started to teach dance to some of the boys there. One has since become the choreographer for Kenny Everett's show, another is with the Royal Swedish Ballet and another is with Hot Gossip.'

Lizzie still teaches when she can. 'It's not so easy

when you have to get up at 3am to go to work,' she says, 'but I do love it.' One of Lizzie's keenest pupils is her son, eight-year-old Ben, who is seen in the W orm chapter of her book.

There's a chance, too, to win a day out to see some real animals with Lizzie. In an Exercise Zoo competition, young readers are invited to paint or draw an animal that would be good for Lizzie to exercise.

The winner will spend a day at the wildlife park home of one of the judges, the Marchioness of Bath. To enter, you'll have to buy Lizzie's book as it contains the competition entry form.

The price is £4.95, and it's published by Pagoda Books and is available from leading booksellers.

THE ACTING profession is holier than I thought. A few weeks ago we described the Rev Tenniel Evans, who plays Geoff Barratt in ITV's shine On Harvey Moon, as probably the only working actor who is also a clergyman.

Now the Rev Richard Sys writes from Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Tayside, to say: `There are, five owledge of us to my lon and there may be more.'

Gong.

A FEW YEARS ago the Daily Mail ran a piece on The Gong Show, a bizarre talent contest that was all the rage on American TV. 'Could Britain,' asked the headline, Stoop as low as this?' The answer is: Yup. This week and for the next few weeks, every night from Monday to Friday, the original Gong Show hits Channel Four.

Stand by for fat ballet dancers, people who play their armpits, and a solemn bearded man who taps bongos with a chicken on his head.

A panel of celebrities awards them marks and 'gongs' off the worst performers in mid-act.

They don't seem to mind.

'There's a lot of

misunderstanding about The Gong Show,' says Cecil Korer, the man who bought the series for Channel Four. Tye looked at about 200 episodes and it's not vicious. The performers know there's a good chance they're going to get gonged.

The British are ready for it now.

Nobody

minds The Price Is Right .

When ITV briefly tried out its own version of the show, back in 1977, at least one of the acts was less than pleased at the public humiliation of being gonged off.

Such quibbling doesn't impress Chuck Barris, the droopy-eyed American who devised the original shows and presents most of them. 'People call the show sadistic,' he once said, 'but it fulfils some kind of fantasy in us all.

Some of the performers are really borderline nuts but they're not phoney. I certainly admire their guts.'

,

Presenter Muriel Gray and her stylish guest Adam Ant are in a state of 'Bliss' Channel Four's bizarre new pop show.

Tony Van Doren, who pulls faces through glass, and the huge Miss Gi Gi are two of the acts in 'The Gong Show', hosted by Chuck Barris.

Agony Ant HERE'S AN unlikely set-up: a pop show from tiny Border Television of Carlisle, produced by Janet Street-Porter, introduced by Scotland's Muriel Gray and featuring Adam Ant as an agony aunt Or rather Agony Ant! The show is Bliss, the new nine-part series in Channel Four's Friday Zone. 'What we're putting together,' says Janet, 'is a magazine programme featuring live music, mainly from the charts, videos, fashion, competitions and happenings. We've even invented a Bliss cocktail.' A cocktail? 'A non-alcoholic cocktail. We are aiming at 14year-olds and upwards.'

Fine. But what about the agony aunt? ' There'll be a different one each week. And, I mean, they're really going to be bizarre people,' says Janet. 'What we want now are silly and amusing problems.'

So, if you've got a problem that could be solved by a really bizarre star, write to 'Agony Aunt', Bliss, Border Television, Television Centre, Carlisle CAI 3NT. TV W orld continues on page 20

He developed his liking for caviar from travelling first-class (the other rodents sit in tourist), but he's not fussy about chips. 'Fat ones, crinkle-cut even pommes frites will do,' he says.

'I don't usually eat in restaurants. I never carry

cash on me, as Kevin, the gerbil, handles all that side of things and looks after the credit cards.'

Although most rats eat cheese, Roland feels that, as a superstar, he really can't do this any more.

The cost of Stella is unnervingly high. But what would you have us do?

SATURDAY Meteor Special effects addicts will be glued to tonight's ITV film Meteor, when stars Sean Connery and Natalie Wood are put in the shade by the technicians' wizardry. A five-mile-wide chunk of rock is heading for the Earth at 30,000mph. Collision would produce an explosion equal to 10,000 hydrogen bombs. Mere fragments of it wipe out an Alpine village, New York bursts into flames and a tidal wave swamps Hong Kong. Mankind, valiantly spearheaded by the combined technology of Russia and America, sets about stopping the threatened disaster. The tidal wave is one of the most impressive and thrilling moments in the film, but all the special effects used are a tribute to the film-makers' art.

Sean Connery and Natalie W ood try to avert a catastrophe.

MONDAY From the Cradle to the Grave Tonight, you will see encapsulated in three minutes something that can take between four and six hours a day (or night) to do.

It is not a speeded-up picture of a flower blooming — it's a disabled husband being fed by his wife. Estimates vary, but it is believed that more than a million people in Britain are The Forgotten A rmy, tonight's programme in ITV's series From the Cradle to the Grave. They are the 'carers' — people who care for old, or disabled, relatives. The disturbing question arises from the programme: what would the State do without these people who freely give their time to help others?

TVTIMES 3-9 A ugust 1985

It isn't often that viewers see a hardened politician like Denis Healey close to tears. But it happens tonight in a touching moment during Channel Four's Fathers by Sons. 'Healey seems to have had a stormy relationship with his father,' says Bel Mooney, who talks to the Shadow Foreign -..•••nn

Denis Healey looks back.

Secretary in the programme, 'and yet he nearly broke down talking about his father's death. I found this fraught mixture of love and non-communication in so many of the father-son relationships in the series.' Tonight, Healey remembers that his father's funeral was the first time he saw his mother in tears, and it deeply affected him. He says he always sensed in his father a personal sadness and frustration that somehow life had let him down; that he hadn't got from it as much as he felt was there, He had to work to support the family but Healey feels he would have had a happier life as a writer.

TUESDAY

Transatlantic Diary Real-life drama emerges tonight in the documentary film Transatlantic Diary on Channel Four, which traces the story of the Donald Searle, one of the vessels in the 1984 Transatlantic Tall Ships Race.

Twenty teenage sailors from all walks of life are aboard — and for one of them it is almost his last voyage. Friends watch helplessly as the youngster, lashed high up the mast doing a routine repair, is beaten to unconsciousness during a sudden high sea. His body is slammed repeatedly against the mast, but rescuers cannot reach him until the sea abates.

Thankfully, the sea calms enough to allow him to be saved. However. tragedy did hit the race when another ship, Marques, sank with the loss of 19 lives (see pages 7-9).

The Queen Mother at 85: A Birthday Portrait The Queen Mother is one of the best-loved members of the Royal Family, and The Queen Mother at 85: A Birthday Portrait, tonight on ITV, probably the most intimate, behind-the-scenes' glimpse of her ever made, will delight all who adore and respect her. It is ITNs coverage of some of her smaller trips and engagements, not normally seen on the news, that brings a special warmth to this programme. In the more relaxed

WEDNESDAY

Adored: the Queen Mother. atmosphere of informal events the 'Queen Mum' was happy to let ITN get close to her and listen in on some of her conversations. The Royal Family's interest in racing is embodied in her, and she is so fond of National Hunt racing that she has a 'bookie's blower' — which relays results direct from the courses — installed at her Clarence House home. She also has an almost motherly knowledge of her farm animals at the Castle of Mey, in Caithness, which she bought in 1952. The programme shows how she not only knows the names of all her sheep — but which particular sheep is breeding with which! Her knowledge of livestock also emerges during a recent trip to Canada, where she meets fellow breeders of Aberdeen Angus cattle.

Seeds of Hope

Athletics

Huddersfield has a claim to fame you won't find in the municipal guides.

Eight years ago it was the setting for the last British performance by the Sex Pistols, the high priests of punk. The Pistols have long gone. But in Huddersfield their converts linger on like stranded peacocks in a grey city. It is easy to forget there are real people, real minds beneath the startling make-up and multicoloured hair. Film-maker Peter Gordon has spent a week with them on the streets of Huddersfield for ITVs First Tuesday, `trying,' he says, `to give a flavour of their life and why they live it as they do'. Finding a title for Tuesday's film wasn't difficult. One of the punks has it tattooed on his head: Made in Huddersfield.

Don Henderson as Bulman on ITV tonight seeks to recover a stolen piece of precious metal in the shape of an 18th-century family heirloom. But viewers may want to keep their eyes open for a piece of precious metal on Bulman's own hand. His tattered gloves are now virtually a trademark. But they were originally written into the script to cover his wedding ring.

Anyone looking closely at camera shots of his hand might see the bulge.. .

Don Henderson as Bulman: involved in a cover-up.

Continuing its story of the tragedy of Ethiopia, ITV's documentary series Seeds of Hope tonight approaches this heartrending topic from a new angle — that of the victims. In the third programme in the series, we see for the first time the 'ground floor' working of UNICEF's direct aid to the famine-stricken Ethiopian village. But what might appear to be a straightforward task can turn out to be otherwise.

Sometimes the aid has problems reaching the starving. It is this point which Seeds of Hope explores tonight. But of special interest, in the wake of the Live Aid concert, is the programme's look at how aid does get to the victims of famine. .. often against all the odds.

Viewers watching the Kodak Classic athletics meeting on Channel Four and ITV tonight can see just what can be achieved by reclaiming an old chemical dump. Because that's exactly what the Gateshead stadium, venue for the Classic, was before it became a top athletics track. It has become the pride of the North East and locals know it as Foster's track', because of the part played in its creation by Olympic bronze medallist Brendan Foster. One of Britain's best-loved athletes of the Seventies, Foster capped his magnificent track career by becoming sports and recreation manager for the town, which used to be called 'the dirty lane leading to Newcastle'. Foster changed that image, and the stadium is now attracting the world's top athletes.

FRIDAY 2 AUGUST Someone is Bleeding 10.30pm-12.20am This convoluted French thriller, written by its director, Georges Lautner, from a novel by chiller specialist Richard Matheson, has Alain Delon as a lawyer who may or may not hold a young girl (the delicious Mireille Darc) prisoner at his lonely seaside villa.

11.30pm-1.15am One of Godard's most accessible films of the Seventies, with Jane Fonda and Yves Montand as a reporter and film director caught up with the wrongs and rights of a factory dispute.

1972

SATURDAY Easy Living EC 1.55pm-3.30pm This screwball romantic comedy wasn't much liked by some contemporary critics but now stands as a classic of the genre. With Preston Sturges scripting and Mitchell Leisen directing, the mood is one of elegant lunacy as a fur coat flung from a window dramatically changes Jean Arthur's life.

1937

The Blue Lamp

F41 3.30pm-5.05pm - -

A now classic slice of British cinema realism, with Jack Warner creating the character of kindly copper George Dixon. The officer was murdered in today's film, but was resurrected on TV, appearing as Dixon of Dock Green in 430 episodes between 1955 and 1976 when he finally hung up his truncheon. 1949

Meteor

*NI

9.00pm-11.00pm The ultimate in disaster movies: To pump up a rather slender storyline about a massive meteor headed for Earth, which must be deflected by a combination of Russian and American missiles, a tidal wave, an avalanche and the destruction of a city are thrown in, via convenient splinters from the meteor. Sean Connery TVTIMES 3-9 August 1985

has a few aptly acerbic lines as the scientist-inchief, and the Russian spoken by Natalie Wood and Brian Keith is most impressive — perhaps partly the reason why they walk away with the film.

Special effects, with the exception of the avalanche scenes, are acceptably done.

Director Robert Z Leonard, king of lightness and brightness at M-G-M for 30 years, seems an unusual choice to direct what amounts to a film noir although, as one would expect from the studio, this is a glossier example than usual. Leonard dresses it up in swirling mists, mirror images and rain-streaked windows.

Robert Taylor seems not entirely at his ease as the drug-busting agent besotted by femme fatale Ava Gardner, but Charles Laughton and Vincent Price as the villains revel in their surroundings. 1948

SUNDAY Captain January

1 4 ] 2.00pm-3.20pm -

--

This first film in a Shirley Temple double bill finds the famous child star looked after by a lighthousekeeper.

Authorities, of course, break into their idyll, giving rise to one of Shirley's best remembered lines: 'Cap! Cap! Cap! I don't want to go!' It's not all tears though: Shirley finds time to dance a step or two, and sing Early Bird, A t the Codfish Ball and The Right Somebody to Love. Both of today's films were made by Shirley after she received a special Oscar 'in grateful recognition of her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment'.

Interesting to compare this documentary treatment of the life of atom-bomb scientist J Robert Oppenheimer with the recent TV series starring Sam Waterston. The use of newsreel footage and interviews with Oppenheimer's contemporaries certainly give this one an edge.

The Last Hurrah

F 4 1 10.20pm-12.35am -

-

Based on the career of Boston's controversial Irish-American mayor Jim Curley, a role that enables Spencer Tracy to dominate this John Ford film, this is an overlong but still strong political saga. Tracy is surrounded by a veritable council of distinguished veteran stars, among them Basil Rathbone, Pat O'Brien, Donald Crisp and John Carradina 1958

MONDAY Hindle Wakes

PTV 1.30pm-3.25pm The fourth (and last to date) screen version of Stanley Houghton's play about the consequences of a few days' holiday (the 'wakes' of the title) taken by two north-country girls, one of whom becomes involved in an affair with her employer's son, scandalising the district on her return by refusing to marry him. Strikingly beautiful Lisa Daniely enjoyed a briefish star career in British films in the Fifties, including two portraits of Lill Marlene.

Later, she acted on • television under her real name, Elizabeth Bodington. Here she makes a touching and likeable Jenny in a rather agreeable slice of life, skilfully photographed by the experienced Geoffrey Faithfull. Bill Travers and Michael Medwin have supporting roles.

1952

Numèro Deux

1 47 11.15pm-I2.45am -

Jean-Luc Godard homes in on the private lives of a French family (grandparents, parents and children) and the result is a peculiarly claustrophobic piece in which the emphasis is placed on sexual relationships and the parents' attitude to the subject. Fans of French films from an era long past may recognise the veteran Alexandre Rignault as the grandfather.

1975

The third of the 'Road' comedies that were as sure-fire box-office bets in the war years as a Rambo, Rocky or Dirty Harry film would be today. As usual Hope loses Lamour to Crosby, who also sings ('Time to get the popcorn, folks' laments Hope) Moonlight Becomes You, the film's big hit, although nowadays it's the title duet that people seem to remember. This is also the one with the camel who complains that this is 'the screwiest picture I was ever in'.

Sherlock Junior

F 41 6.00pm-6.45pm -

One of the most enjoyable of Buster Keaton's silent feature films. He ends up outwitting the crooks in a marvellous sequence involving a falling sword, poison and an exploding pool ball.

Rupture

Ai 6.45pm-7.00pm French clown Pierre Etaix's later film career went sadly astray when his films got too long and concentrated on pathos at the expense of fun. So take the opportunity to down a 10-minute dose of Etaix which provides a laugh every few seconds — and saves the very best to the end.

Enola Gay

F4 1 9.00pm-11.35pm -

More or less a straightforward factual telling of the bombing of Hiroshima, by Emmy award-winning director David Lowell Rich. The production is top-heavy with actors who have since become household names through TV series: Patrick Duffy (Dallas), Billy Crystal (Soap), Gregory Harrison (Logan's Run), Robert Pine (CHIPS), Robert Walden (Lou Grant). But only Crystal, together with Walter Olkewicz, gets a chance to flesh out his character to any great extent. Maurice Jane's stirring military score coupled with continued overpage

27

Films continued from page 27 original newsreel footage adds to the period feel.

The film (original US title: Enola Gay: the Men, the Mission, the A tomic Bomb) is dedicated to veteran writer James Poe, who died while working on the TVM 1980 project.

WEDNESDAY Dirigible 2.30pm-4.20pm rare treat for lovers both of Frank Capra films and of the work of that queen of screen screamers, Fay Wray. Look hard at the snow scenes in this story of early aviators battling to make it to the South Pole.

The film was actually shot at the height of summer and the actors, sweating in fur parkas, are being bombarded by wind machines blowing bleached cornflakes into their faces in 90-degree heat. Once, when the wind machines were turned on to stir up the fake snow, one of the airplanes blew away! Capra remained quite unconcerned, grinning and smoking a cigarette. . . The film itself launched both Capra and his studio, Columbia, into 1931 the big-time.

THURSDAY Laurel and Hardy's Laughing Twenties

4

2.30pm-4.10pm One of the funniest films that is ever likely to come your way. Here are Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, wearing their angelic expressions, like small boys caught with catapults behind their backs. See them as musicians in Y ou're Darn Tootin', waiters in From Soup to Nuts and housebuilders in The Finishing Touch. A priceless collection of the duo's work. 1965

Ants in the Pantry

1 41 4.10pm-4.30pm -

The Three Stooges have been called Hollywood's kings of siapstick — they must have hit each other more often in their tworeeler comedies than any other team of comedians.

Here they are pest exterminators, and you can guess who turn out to be by far the greatest pests of 1936 all.

5.00pm-700pm Noel Coward's downthrough-the-years family saga lifted almost bodily from the London stage (Fox even imported a genuine London taxi) and the winner of three Oscars, including best picture and a best director trophy for Frank Lloyd, whose second Academy Award it was. His standing began to slip soon after Mutiny on the Bounty two years later and he is little remembered today. 1933

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure 730pm-9.30pm Like its predecessor, this disaster epic is very well acted and excitingly shot.

Michael Caine and the perky Sally Field both give their best performances for some time and there are respectable showings from Karl Malden, Shirley Jones and Telly Savalas. There the resemblance to the earlier film, a as, ends. For the script (though written by the capab e Nelson

1.30pm-3. 00pm Interesting murder mystery adapted from John Dickson Carr's novel The Emperor's Snuff Box — but rather a strange film in that none of its characters seem to develop. Dan O'Herlihy is excellent as the whimsical hero, and Phyllis Kirk quite personable as the Woman Opposite. Director Compton Bennett keeps it 1957 flowing.

Glendarroch s bobby is back on the beat THE POACHERS currently active in Glendarroch, the village centre of ITV's Take the High Road should

Every inch a copper: James Macdonald as Sgt Murray.

prove no match for police sergeant Murray, played by actor James Macdonald, at least on his off-screen record. For 10 years, as a real-life detective constable, he served with the serious crimes squad in Glasgow.

'I left the force through frustration. It was depressing to arrest someone for a vicious murder and see him out of prison and walking the streets a year later,' says Macdonald.

As Sgt Murray he looks every inch the country copper. 'Once, on location, two German tourists pulled up and asked me where they could park their Mercedes. I said I didn't know. They were aghast that a policeman in such a tiny village wouldn't know where they were allowed to park.'

Can Diane start all over again?

ACTRESS SUSAN Hanson is back in Crossroads this week as Diane Hunter, and walks into an embarrassing situation. Looking for a job, she is offered one as a lowly waitress in the motel where she was once catering supervisor.

Diane left the motel nearly a year ago, but the firm she was working for in southern England went out of business.

Sue was actually written out to have her first baby, a son, Jack, now six months old. She and her husband, singer Carl Wayne, have moved to Birmingham while their London home is being redecorated.

Sue has been in and out of the Crossroads motel since 1965. How will she take to the new management?

We'll have to wait and see.

Sue Hanson's very good reason for leaving 'Crossroads': her son, Jack.

Now Sue's back at the motel

Charity goes to Percy's head

THE NEW BOSS of ITV's Crossroads motel, Nicola Freeman (Gabrielle Drake), said she wanted a new image for the place. And she wasn't joking. The newlook reception area is unveiled this week, and viewers will see a startling transformation.

It has the gloss and glamour of a stylish American-type hotel. Out goes the old 'utility' look. Guests sink into rich leather armchairs. Greys, browns and blues in the colour scheme of the area add to the deliberately moody atmosphere under an apron of lights.

In the storyline, designer Barnaby Blake (David Simeon) was brought in by Nicola to plan the transformation. But real-life Crossroads designer Martin TVTIMES 3-9 A ugust 1985

A touch of class. . . the new 'Crossroads' luxury reception area contrasts sharply with the old 'utility' look.

Davey — who made the most of a £25,000 scenic budget — should be enjoying the celebratory glass of champagne.

Davey, who actually had the job of burning down the old Crossroads in the dramatic fire a few years ago — 'It was a pleasure, I hated the set' — planned this exercise with military precision. With buyer Joe Vaughan, he toured the Ideal Home Exhibition in London earlier this year, then, on the last day of the exhibition, 'raided' the stands for bargains.

The real flowers used in the hotel have had to go. 'They were expensive to maintain, and had to be constantly replaced,' says Davey. 'But the artificial plants viewers will see can't be detected from the real thing.'

DON'T SCOFF at Percy Sugden's flat cap in Coronation Street. No longer is the flat 'at' a working-class symbol.

Christy and Co, which has been making hats for two centuries, says the flat cap is now enjoying a popularity boom. Sales director Paul Offord tells me: 'The image of the flat cap has changed. People like Mark Phillips, Phil Drabble, Peter Bowles, who plays The Irish RM, and Bill Waddington, who plays Percy, have helped bring them back.'

Waddington sometimes auctions his Christy caps for charity, and readers of this page can win one.

Any deserving charity organiser who can answer this question, and give details of the cause, may not only win a cap for auction; Waddington may Height of fashion: Percy's Bat 'at.

Bill Waddington, who in bygone days was a radio comic, used to fmish his act with a catchy song.

For most adults, the world of BMX is a strange and mysterious one.

The language is incomprehensible. The variety of bikes, brand names and accessories quite bewildering.

So buying equipment that is wrong for the user, or poor quality, or poor value for money, are pitfalls that can be hard to avoid.

Unless you come to Halfords.

We have the widest range of BMX bikes and accessories in the country. All rigorously tested for safety and construction standards before being accepted.

But most importantly, as the people who first introduced BMX nationally, Halfords have an unrivalled depth of expertise you can draw on.

So, if you want to be sure of getting the right bike at the right price, be sure to ask Halfords about it.

BEAR TRAPS? VIPERS? SCORPIONS? SHOULD YOU VENTURE INTO BMX WITHOUT A GUIDE?

7.45 The Queen Mother at 85: A Birthday Portrait ANTHONY CARTHEW ITN court correspondent Anthony Carthew takes an informal look at the public and private lifestyle of the Queen Mother in this celebration of her 85th birthday. The programme, which includes footage of her recent tour of Canada, highlights the active life she leads and provides a rare insight into the private activities and hobbies, likes and dislikes of Britain's best-loved Royal. Her determination to lead an active life is epitomised by her visits to the Castle of Mey in the north of Scotland where she is an authoritative breeder of Aberdeen Angus cattle and takes an interest in game and fishing. The Queen Mother's love of racing, a private visit to the Scilly Isles and interviews with members of her household and other staff are all featured in some previously unseen material. This all adds up to a special insight into the life of a lady who, after the death of her husband, King George VI, in 1952, withdrew briefly from public life but who has held a special place in the hearts of the nation for more than 30 years.

During the 1930s, he was closely involved in Leftist, anti-fascist politics, something that was (temporarily) forgotten by US authorities when he was asked to join the 'Manhattan Project' soon after the outbreak of World War Two...

11.30 About Britain WEIR'S WAY The Rise and Fall of Breadalbanes

In the first of five programmes this walk exploring some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside, presenter Tom Weir traces the remarkable rise of the Campbells of Glenorchy. From humble beginnings they rose to be overlords of the greatest estates in Britain, with a castle in Taymouth where they entertained Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in feudal splendour in 1842. It took them more than 400 years to win this position and by 1920 they owned 500,000 acres. All that was left 28 years later to tell their story was a mausoleum and the tottering ruins of a castle.

8.30 From the Cradle to the Grave THE FORGOTTEN ARMY Series about the Welfare State examining how people who rely on the welfare services are faring in 1985. Over a million people, mainly women, look after a disabled or elderly relative on a full or part-time basis. They call themselves 'carers', but receive little or no recognition or support from the State. At 41, Tricia Brady is one of them. She looks after her disabled husband Frank fulltime, with almost no official help. This powerful and emotional film takes a closeup look at the human face of caring. As one 24-hour a day carer says Tm under house arrest, I'm a prisoner of conscience'.

Applying for a Midland Loan is simple and you can do it before you go shopping. That way, with ready cash, you've got increased bargaining power.

If you're 18 or over and creditworthy, you should get an answer on the spot.

A television visualisation by prize-winning director Richard Eyre of an urgent new oratorio for our time. Or Shall W e Die? begins with the summer midnight thoughts of a mother over her sleeping daughter, and opens out into an agonised meditation on our ability to destroy ourselves.

Two days after the disaster salvage tug skipper Mike Turner and his partner Wilbur, with a pretty passenger Celeste Whitman, come on the scene, while a 'medical team' led by Stefan Svevo also arrives.

Turner is intent on plundering the purser's safe, which he has guessed must contain a fortune in cash and jewels.

Svevo, in reality an illicit arms dealer, has even darker motives for coming aboard the stricken ship.

Dear Katie Special you and your husband can meet fnends your own age.

Maintain contact with your mother by writing or phoning, and maybe meet midway for lunch every so often.

Out of love

DURING THE PAST 15 years of answering Dear Katie problems, I have received letters from many people who want to try being an agony aunt. While I was helping judge the final of a TVTimes competition, entrant Tracy Winter (pictured with me above) told me it was her secret ambition. So, without betraying any readers' confidence, I read out some problems to her and asked how she would reply. Tracy tackled the job with enthusiasm. A State Registered Nurse and midwife, Tracy, 27, is married to a dentist and has two stepchildren. Her hobbies include horse-riding, tapestry and dancing, and she has a special interest in alternative medicine and in all aspects of preconceptual care, pregnancy and childcare. She is a supporter of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and such charitable organisations as the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Here are both Tracy's and my own answers to some of your problems, and rm sending the weekly £10 prize to Tracy's favourite charity.

Main attraction My friend and I go regularly to a local disco. She is 19 and I am 18. I get upset because most of the boys pay a great deal of attention to her and she openly encourages them.

They speak to me only occasionally, although I am better looking. I am wondering why this happens?

The boys who play around with my friend are not very good looking, are sometimes drunk and just want a bit of fun. They don't even ask her for a date.

Jean Glasgow K atie's answer In my youth this was known daringly as SA or sex appeal.

Certain people, both male and female, just seem to exude a sensual attraction, sending out exciting signals to which the opposite sex respond. It is fun for your friend, but can create problems as it sometimes attracts men to whom it is not just a game. W ith a bit of luck and intelligence, she will avoid trouble and you can be an invaluable influence on her. Enjoy yourself in your own way, but don't be tempted to compete. Y our time will come.

Tracy's answer Why are you so envious of your friend's popularity with boys? I would have thought the main reason for attending the disco was to enjoy

yourselves, and you can do this without being picked up by boys. If you spent less time worrying about being noticed by them, and more time dancing and generally having a good time, the boys would soon think they were missing something!

Shock discovery This morning, while I was tidying my 14-year-old son's room, I found some American magazines full of pictures of nude women. He is at boarding school, and is quiet and shy. He has never shown any interest in girls. I have not mentioned it to anyone, least of all my husband, who I know would be rather shocked. I would appreciate your advice.

Mrs M M Gloucester K atie's answer I am not minimising the overall problem of 'porn' but are you sure your husband would be shocked? A n interest in the opposite sex is a normal part of growing up, and much less harmful than experimenting in some other directions. Girlie magazines circulate at school. I think you will find this phase passes when your home fills up with your son's friends, and real flesh and blood friendships take over from fantasies. I would not make him feel guilty at this stage as he is much more likely to become even more secretive.

daily, so do those of your girlfriend, and by the time you start college you may both want to remain together.

Tracy's answer Y our son is passing through a very difficult phase in life as he adjusts to manhood and the emotional upheaval that it involves. Girlie magazines are passed between boys of this age at all schools, and he is simply learning to cope with his sexuality. Don't make a big issue of it but give your son the opportunity to communicate with you.

Hopefully, if you can bridge the gap, it will also help your long-term relationship.

Growing apart I am an 18-year-old boy going to college this autumn and I'm desperately afraid I am going to lose my girlfriend when we have to be apart. We have been going steady for two years but she has already said she thinks we should finish in the summer as she has too much work and thinks I won't have time for her. This has upset me and I think she is being cruel.

SY Leeds

K atie's answer I know that a first love is very special and intense, but, at 18, it is unwise to set off to new lives feeling tethered emotionally. This does not mean you may not get together again if your feelings are strong enough, but if young people allow each other freedom to make new friends, they usually find that true love will bear comparison.

Tracy's answer

I can see the Green-Eyed Monster affecting your girlfriend: she knows that you will be meeting plenty of new girls at college and uses 'too much work' as an excuse to hide her secret fear of losing you. Enjoy your present time together; don't dwell on the future. Your emotions change

Family loyalty Just recently, my husband and I have moved home to be nearer his work, but it has taken me 35 miles from my parents. My mum and I are best friends and I miss her very much. My husband, though, has never liked her and when they are together you can cut the air with a knife. Now he is trying to stop me seeing her and makes any excuse to discourage me from visiting her — for instance, that we can't afford petrol! If I try to talk about it he laughs at me and says I am getting paranoid. How can I keep the peace? I miss my mum but love my husband, too.

Mrs J C Ipswich Katie's answer You sound to me to be 'pig in the middle' of two jealous people who should know better. You will have to pour oil on these troubled waters and must start by talking to your mother. She does sound a little possessive and, for your sake, she must help cut the apron strings and realise the loyalty you owe your husband. Perhaps at a meeting between the three of you, you could tell them you love them both in different ways. Say you have no intention of choosing between them, so the sooner they get together, the sooner the problem will sort itself out!

Tracy's answer There comes a time when both you and your mother must stop relying so heavily on each other for friendship.

You are married now and the relationship with your husband is more important.

•eis obviously jealousy 'I'hi between your mother and husband, and you are stuck in the middle. I would suggest you join an organisation, such as a sports club where both

I have been married almost three months, having lived with my husband for a year beforehand. For three years I have known a kind, lovely young man whose dad is the landlord of our local pub. This young man has always been friendly, but recently I have had a few opportunities to get to know him better and have had to control my feelings. He has told his dad he is sorry am married. It may sound callous, but I am finding that I don't love my husband as I did.

So far I have kept my feelings to myself but am afraid I may do something silly.

AW Derby

Katie's answer What appals me is your disloyalty to your marriage

vows made only a matter of weeks ago. The last thing to do is 'confess' to your unsuspecting husband and hurt him deeply in order to relieve your own conscience.

I hope you will examine your thoughts and motives, and perhaps talk to a marriage guidance counsellor who will help you get things in perspective. You will find the number in the phone book.

Tracy's answer Y ou are obviously very confused by your feelings at the moment. Y ou must not 'let rip' as you may say things you don't really mean, causing hurt and resentment to all concerned. A good way to help you sort your feelings out is counselling from an impartial party. Marriage guidance is one society offering this service. Y ou will find the phone number in the 'Y ellow Pages'.

Katie's last word This seems a golden opportunity for me to tell you how I see my role on this page each week. I always try to be sympathetic and see both sides of a question.

Rather than advise, I merely offer my own personal opinion Far more importantly, I try to throw a new slant on a complex problem and point people in a fresh direction. I also like to be practical and I think a sense of humour is allimportant. I hope readers get as much enjoyment from this special page as Tracy and I had in writing it. And I do congratulate her on her good sense and sensitivity.

There's always £10 for the Letter of The Week. Katie regrets that she is unable to enter into individual correspondence.
