A decade It looks as if edding bells are finally going to ring for Coronation Street Romeo Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs), but will latest girlfriend Susan Barlow (Wendy Jane Walker) get him to the altar? Baldwin is an expert at avoiding marriage, and his little black address book is bulging with names of past girlfriends. No pretty face has ever been safe with Baldwin around. His affairs have been the talk of the Rovers Return for a decade. Can the rag trade Romeo change his ways? Will he burn his address book and settle down to married life, or will he remain for ever footloose? As Baldwin's latest romance hots up, Linda Hawkins looks back at some of his most memorable affairs.

November 1976 Mike Baldwin started an affair with barmaid Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear). The following month he bought No 5 Coronation Street, which had been owned by Minnie Caldwell (Margot Bryant), and Bet moved in with him.

March 1977 Bet was getting too serious for Baldwin's liking, so, to cool things down, he told her she would have to move out because his wife was coming to stay with him. 'His wife', however, turned out to be another girlfriend, Anne W oodley (Carole Mowlam).

February 1981

March 1980 Baldwin started an affair with Pauline Stringer (Patricia Browning), a buyer with a rival firm. Eventually, Pauline moved to Baldwin's firm as a supervisor, but the romance between the two did not last.

May 1982 A very close call for Baldwin. An affair with Maggie Dunlop (Jill K erman), the career-girl boss of Eddie Y eats'

One evening, Baldwin met Deirdre Langton (Anne K irkbride) at the Rovers Return, where she had been waiting in vain for K en Barlow (W illiam Roache). Baldwin took her out a few times, but Deirdre eventually ended their romance. girlfriend, turned serious and she moved in with Baldwin, which shocked his cleaner, Hilda Ogden (Jean Alexander). The relationship turned sour when he refused to loan her ÂŁ3000 to expand her business. As a parting shot Maggie told Baldwin she was pregnant but refused to marry him. Later she married someone else. Maggie gave birth to the baby in May 1983.

November 1978

W ith romance in mind, Baldwin moved Terri Clayton (Jenny Edwards) into his warehouse as a trainee, but Ivy Tilsley (Lynne Perrie) threatened to strike over Terri's preferential treatment, so the girl left.

Impressed with the looks and talent of buyer Carole Gordon (Louisa Rix), Baldwin took her out and offered her a job. Then Carole got a better offer from another firm and turned him down.

November 1977 Baldwin bet Eddie Y eats (Geoffrey Hughes) that he could get a date with Suzie Birchall (Cheryl Murray). Suzie agreed but then someone told her about the bet and she stood Baldwin up. He pleaded with her to give him another chance, but after three dates Suzie became bored with the relationship and told him he was too old for her.

December 1981 Frankie Baldwin (Sam K ydd), Mike's father, turned up to borrow some money, with a young friend, Sylvie Hicks (Debbie Arnold). W hen Mike refused to lend him the money, Frankie stormed off to London. Mike took Sylvie out but eventually she decided that she would return to live with Mike's father back in London.

March 1981 K en Barlow brought Sonia Price (Bridget Brice) to Baldwin's housewarming party. Irritated that Barlow seemed to be getting on so well with Deirdre, Baldwin took Sonia to a club.

December 1982 Baldwin rekindled his old romance with Deirdre, now the disenchanted wife of K en Barlow. For a while it looked as if the marriage was over, but, after Deirdre begged K en to let her stay with him and promised never to see Mike Baldwin again, the couple kissed and made up. Following the affair, Deirdre and K en flew off to Malta for a second honeymoon, leaving Baldwin to lick his wounds.

January 1985

July 1983 Baldwin fell for an interpreter, Eileen Hicks (Helen Rappaport), who visited his factory with a Russian delegation. Little came of it.

Designer Christine Mill ward (Julie Shipley) brought her designs to the factory and made quite an impression on Baldwin. She told him she was happily married but he was not deterred. They went on a business trip to London together and saw each other frequently, but Christine's husband put a stop to the affair.

E3 Saturday: The Price is Right "'"'" mm -7---41

When the Queen tuned in to Crackeriadc Oh dear! This is an early publicity still from Crackerjack when I was a mere stripling of 27. I think I was supposed to look risible, whatever risible means. I enjoyed that time in Crackerjack . . . eight wonderful years between 1960 and 1968. Not only did I enjoy the series immensely; it was there that I learned how to handle non-professionals in front of a TV camera - which is exactly what I'm doing now in

The Price is Right.,

Our first new car! It is 1960, the start of the Crackerjack years. The pride and joy of my wife Jean and myself was this new, pale-blue Ford Consul. we called it Lady because the registration letters were LDY. We had had other cars before, but this was the first new one and was a real thrill.,

eslie Crowther says that eight years on Crackerjack give him the experience that has led to him hosting The Price is Right. Viewers can see the show on ITV on Saturday. and here Crowther, talking to Stewart Knowles, continues to flick through his personal photograph albums to tell TV Times his story in pictures. This is the complete Crowther family group, taken in 1968, the last year I was in Crackerjack. Caroline is top left and Liz is sitting in front of her. Nicholas is with Jean, Charlotte is on the carpet in front of Jean, and Lindsay is between my knees. The dog is our poodle Pyramus, named after the character in A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which Jean and I appeared in 1951. We didn't set out to have five children but we did want a boy as well as the girls, so when Nicholas was born we decided we could stop as we had the complete set. '

The Queen visited the Crackerjack studio in 1961. Left to right, we have a very young Harry Secombe, Albert Saveen the ventriloquist, Gillian Comber, Peter Glaze, Pip Hinton, myself and the Queen, who is rather successfully masking Eamonn Andrews, then the presenter of the programme. This was the first time I had met the Queen, although I have been fortunate enough to meet her several times since. I remember on that occasion being flabbergasted to discover that the Royal Family actually watched Crackerjack. The Queen told me the family watched the programme together every week.,

rye chosen this still from My Good W oman with Sylvia Syms because it was an important moment in my career. It was 1972 and it was a sort of hillock after a trough. I had been in Crackerjack eight years, then The

Black and W hite Minstrel Show before I branched out into a situation comedy called Reluctant Romeo. It wasn't very successful. After that I went into a revue on TV called The Saturday Crowd, and that was successful. But next I fronted a TV variety show in 1970 called Crowther's in Town, which was not a success. It became very necessary for me to be involved in something successful. Michael

I wasn't actually first choice as presenter for The Price is Right. They had set out to get Russ Abbot, but that didn't work out and eventually I got the job. We began in 1984 and this is the third series. Right from the start I was thrilled to bits with the idea. It was life coming full circle. I had started my television career in Crackerjack where, after Eamonn Andrews left as presenter, I was the host and introduced all sorts of games. Landing The Price is Right was like a golden apple falling into my lap.,

Grade, my agent in those days, decided we should have another stab at situation comedy, so Sylvia Syms and I got together. She was absolutely

Eamonn Andrews is surprising me here with the This is Y our Life big red book in 1973. I am very interested in antiques and I had gone to Earls Court in London to open the first International Antiques Exhibition. Eamonn sprang out and got me. It was a wonderful experience. In those days one This is Y our Life programme cost about ÂŁ20,000 to mount - a lot of money to spend on me., TVTIMES 1-7 February 1986

brilliant to work with. We did 39 episodes of My Good W oman over a total of three years and it was a very happy period in my career.,

` Here I am with Bernie Winters - me as Chesney Allen and Bernie as Bud Flanagan. Sid Colin had written a superb TV script on the life of Flanagan and Allen and Bernie and I performed it on ITV in 1981. I can't claim to be an impersonator. In fact, the only impersonation I have ever been able to do with any success is Chesney Allen. That's because the first record I ever bought, as a child in Nottingham, was Bud and Ches singing Home

Town. I can remember being very enamoured of that strange, non-singing, almost croaky voice of

Chesney Allen's. Flanagan and Allen ... what great artists those two were. Sheer magic.,

I think he would have used another word for thumping if he hadn't been speaking on the radio. This would have been taken during a fund-raising 'do' at the London Hilton.

CI] The South Bank Show [1] Good Morning Britain resenter of The South Bank Show, Melvyn Bragg, crossed the Channel for his family holiday. He can be seen on TV-ams Good Morning Britain on Monday, talking about his Brittany break. Anywhere the younger Bragg children, Alice, eight, and Tom, five, go they take a bag of things to do' — the equivalent of a mountaineer's emergency pack. If the car ride is boring or the end of the journey a disappointment, then things to do' can be called into service. 'Holidays with young children are an extension of that,' says Melvyn Bragg. There must be things to do'; the more, the safer. 'We were lucky enough to be able to take the children abroad, and I wanted them to go to France — the European country I know best. When I left school I worked there for a while and in my 20s went to Brittany almost every summer. 'Brittany used to be called Little Britain. The first Celts arrived there in 460AD, and the place is full of British legendary figures like Arthur and Merlin. The landscape contains black and cruel rocks as in Cornwall, with great Druidical standing stones dotted about the countryside — in fact, there is ancient Britness everywhere, of a kind which appeals mightily to a Cumbrian. 'The first treat of the holiday was to go by ferry. Overnight. Bunks and portholes. Waving goodbye to England. Throwing bread to the seagulls. Mapping out the decks — we could have been ferried back and forward for the fortnight and it would have been perfectly OK. The slow morning arrival at Le Havre — grey, unawakened. The soft jolt as the boat hit the pier. 'New words for everything. Driving on the wrong side of the road (whoops! forgot for a moment), new signs, new shops, new place to live for a fortnight.

wrings out more pleasure for young children, who make instant life-long friendships in a morning and almost learn to dive by the end of the week. 'The hotel was inland, which I thought an added advantage, especially as the weather was a bit . . . well, "English" when we were there. Inland Brittany

is rivers, forest walks and marvellous picnic sites. There are old villages with little unmodernised bars, where they still have those old-fashioned bar football tables and juke boxes and old men speaking Breton. 'And then there are the calvaires — amazing stone sculptures which stand in

front of many of the churches and still convey their simple forceful Christian message. As do the pardons. These are religious festivals which, to our eyes, look more like carnivals: bands of men playing the Breton bagpipes, men and women from different villages in their traditional

dress. It is enviable how emphatically they keep up this ancient tradition in modern times. But Brittany is also the sea, and down to the sea we went. We found the perfect beach. There was flat firm sand so you could play serious beach cricket, and there were rocks, continued overpage

continued from page 9 which meant rock pools to potter about beside. Lastly, there was the sea itself, with just enough of a shelf to send in the occasional big wave. 'Finally, the icing: the hotel had a cellar bar to which, after dinner, children went for a quick Coke and the amazing

experience of being Up Late in a Grown-Up Place which could have been a dungeon. And so to bed and the cheerful chorus of courting crickets.' Monday's 'W ish Y ou

Learn to love thy next-door neighbour FRANCE is our nearest Continental neighbour, but it offers a different world and a range of holidays to suit all tastes. As well as gentle countryside, there are dramatic mountains, precipitous gorges and rugged coastlines. Here, with the help of a special report on France produced by the Consumers' Association publication Holiday W hich?, we take a look at what to expect from a holiday in this country.

Where to go France's capital, Paris, is ideal for a short break, with plenty of sightseeing opportunities. For beach holidays, Brittany has a particular appeal for families, with plenty of wide sandy bays. The other major beach area is the south coast, where the COte d'Azur offers a touch of glamour, usually at premium prices, while the LanguedocRoussillon coast, with its purpose-built holiday complexes, provides lots of entertainment. For sightseeing holidays, the Lower Provence cities have a wealth of historic monuments. The Loire Valley, on the other hand, is famous for its scores of Renaissance chateaux. Normandy is better for sightseeing than beaches, despite a few smart resorts. Burgundy and Alsace, both famous for their food and wine, offer enjoyable scenery and fine historic towns. The pretty countryside of the Dordogne area is a long-standing British favourite and many British-owned cottages and farmhouses are rented for self-catering holidays. If you're looking for dramatic mountain

scenery, the Massif Central, the Alps and the Pyrenees are the best bets. The island of Corsica also offers splendid mountain scenery.

When to go Our shopping basket for self-caterers consists of: 500g bread, 250g butter, 1 litre milk, six medium eggs, 250g local cheese, 1 kg frozen chicken, 2.5kg potatoes, 1kg tomatoes, 1kg apples, 1 litre orange juice, 1 litre mineral water, 25 tea bags, 1kg sugar.

Star Cookery

France offers something at most times of the year. If you're looking for out-ofseason sunshine, the south coast has a mild climate, and the Riviera resorts are lively from March to October. Avoid the French holiday period from late July to early August. Paris looks at its best in the spring and autumn; in July and August many places are closed.

Getting around Car: France is quite well served by motorways, though tolls make them expensive. The major nonmotorway roads are the routes nationales. Trains: the French rail system is efficient, with air-conditioned trains. Buses: there are few long-distance buses; local services are run by the SNCF and link with trains.

Accommodation Hotels are from 1 to 4 stars, with a 4-star luxury category. Grades indicate facilities, not comfort. Selfcatering ranges from cottages to purpose-built apartment blocks. Camping and caravanning sites in the main seaside areas are often large and organised. Sites in rural areas are simpler.

Quick thinking ACTRESS Joanna Van Gyseghem, Linda Cochran of ITV's Duty Free, says: 'I like foreign food, but only really enjoy cooking when I don't have to. In fact, my husband, Terry [Terence Hillyer] is the adventurous one, spending hours over his own version of dishes like Tandoori chicken. `I'm more of a snack person. I rustled up these croissants with cheese and bacon the other day. I often have a Pate in the fridge, too.' Jill Cox

WHEN The Telebugs first started, TVTirnes promised a competition. Well, here it is. Can you think up the name of a brand new Telebug? Of course, that's easy enough, so what Professor Brainstrain wants is a name, in not more than 10 letters, in which the initials stand for something technical. As you all know by now, Samantha stands for SolarActivated-Micro-Automated-Non-inTerference-HearingApparatus. The Professor is waiting to hear your brilliant ideas. Answers on a postcard please to: Professor Brainstrain, The Telebugs HQ, 41 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1 WOPP, by Friday 21 February. You can have a two-part name, but not more than a total of 10 letters, and the words must make sense. The best idea will win a black-and-white portable television set. There will be 10 runners-up prizes of Telebugs T-shirts, so let us know on the postcard if you are small, medium or large.

SMALL IS beautiful, some people say, but it's not easy to create the little people seen in The Return of the A ntelope (ITV, Sunday). However, the programme producerdirector, Eugene Ferguson, insists that the Lilliputians — Brelca, Spelbush and Fistram — really are tiny people. He says he found them in the Scilly Isles and they're incredibly rare. So rare, that during filming they were in great danger of being slipped into pockets or squashed underfoot. You could almost believe him. The Lilliputians are so

on me LaLuputians. Watch ITV, Sunday.

miniscule, they can crawl into holes, hide in hats and make a cat look as enormous as a lion. Sadly, Claudia Gambold and Alan Bowyer, who play Philippa and Gerald, the two children who befriend Brelca, Spelbush and Fistram, have revealed the truth about the little people. It seems that Eft 3in John Quentin plays Fistram, although on screen he appears to be only 8in tall. Brelca is played by real-life-size Gail Harrison and Spelbush by John Branwell. So how was it achieved? Eugene Ferguson explains: 'The Lilliputians

spent all their time in what was basically a huge blue limbo land in another part of the studio. They couldn't see what was happening on set, but they could hear the other actors and director. They each had to follow strange instructions such as, "Climb to the third crease in the curtain", or, "Go over to the lamp in the corner." When the two images are put together, the blue disappears and you are left with tiny actors. To give you some idea of how complex it was to work out, it took eight days to complete just half an hour of The Return of

the A ntelope.'

Nino is caught in the wrong gear

February man Nino.

Get knitting with Pob THAT LOVABLE Channel Four puppet Pob, who lives inside a television set, has decided to give somebody a present this week. Traditionally, Hobgoblins are the ones who are given gifts, and certainly Pob does well out of his Sunday afternoon series Pob's Programme. Now it's your turn. If you would like a free copy of the knitting pattern to make a smashing Pob sweater, you should send a stamped, addressed envelope to: Pob's Playtime, PO Box 507, Harborne, Birmingham B17 8PJ. The pattern has instructions for three age sizes — four to five, six to seven and eight to nine. Pob says that it's not very difficult to knit, and it's really warm. Just the thing if you're out in the woods looking for goblins... If you would like your very own Pob sweater, then send for a free knitting pattern from the address above.

FEBRUARY is going to be a busy month for Nino Firetto of ITV's Splash. On Monday, he takes over as presenter of Children's ITV. 'As I'll be working during most of my favourite kids' programmes, my video will be on overtime,' he says. For the new job, Nino has bought plenty of clothes. 'Presenters usually wear something different every day. Last November, Gary Wilmot was hosting Children's ITV, and he invited me to be a guest two weeks running. Nobody had remembered to tell me to bring a change of clothes, so when the crew recorded the two programmes, there I was, one week later, still wearing the same things.' There's no chance that will happen again. 'I'll be prepared for 20 changes of gear if necessary,' says Nino. Sue Fox

From Sunday you develop a mental alertness that'll enable you to see the most complex situations lucidly, and understand the knowledge they impart. Your ability to learn and react speedily will allow you to annihilate any rivals, since you're so quick on the uptake. A superb time to conceive ideas and make your opinions 'clown to all.

There's a pride and a passion imbued within you from Sunday as mighty Mars makes absolutely sure that any creative projects you're involved in are given a generous boost of high octane energy. Don't delay in making the first move in matters that display your natural talents. Affairs of the heart inspire you to amorous things.

You're instilled with a fiery assertiveness that will have you riding roughshod over all sensitive issues as the red planet Mars forces his way into your Sun sign. This promises an enterprising period for all self interests, but also makes you unaware of others' needs and wants. Don't allow a selfish streak to take over or impulsive desires to go unchecked.

It all happens over and during the weekend, when what you decide to initiate could alter work plans or how to deal with intense emotional situations. A contretemps may develop with a man you are associated with, but a confrontation is inadvisable yet awhile. It's imperative you remain rational when dealing with volatile situations.

Earnings and income are what concern you and, if

Coercion and confrontation are the order of career days to come as you and close competitors make waves to see who really holds the reins of power and reigns supreme. It's here your biggest threats emerge. Nevertheless, the overall lie of the professional land is good if you're seeking a more adventurous and challenging vocation.

you feel wronged, you're really going to blast a few folk out of their complacency. Deductions may be more than necessary; rebates a long time coming. If what is rightfully yours was sent as quickly as it's taken from you, you wouldn't mind, but it's not, and that's your argument.

xactly what are Helena (Barbara Kellelinann), the new gossip columnist in Lytton's Diary — on ITV on Wednesday — and Catherine (Fiona Mollison), Lytton's ex-wife, finding so much to talk about? Could it be Neville Lytton himself (played by Peter Bowles) who's under discussion? And can that lurking photographer, so keen to get pictures of them together at London's Aquila Health Club, possibly be working for a rival newspaper? Well, TVTimes can exclusively reveal that the two ladies are actually chatting about the new spring fashions. Although both are dressed to hit the headlines, the news is that none of their ritzy outfits costs a fortune. Causing a stir is certainly part of Helena's job as the glamorous and sophisticated new recruit at The Daily News. But both women enjoy wearing the clothes bought for the characters they play. 'In this new series, Catherine comes back to London and her clothes reflect the city life,' says Fiona. 'I get to wear some lovely designer outfits, the sort of thing that is very much my personal taste.' She goes for longer lengths, well-cut jackets and crisp colours, while Barbara favours softer lines in either strong colours or muted pastels. 'I like to keep my ideas flexible when it comes to fashion,' she says. 'I'm just as happy in jeans as the beautiful clothes that Helena wears.' But dressing to be noticed means dressing with style, not necessarily dressing expensively. Catalogues often provide a wide range of eyecatching fashions at bargain prices. It's well worth spreading the news,.and may even steam up a few Janet Impey camera lenses!

Fashion truths revealed

A photographer might go to any lengths to snap Fiona Mollison (left in main picture) and Barbara Kellerman. Lucidly, though, their eye-catching catalogue clothes are much easier to get hold of.

Runaway success K evin Lloyd, from ITV's 'Constant Hot W ater', and his wife Lesley have quite a handful at home with (left to right) Henry, James, Mark, Poppy and Sophie.

Kevin's family fortunes WHEN ACTOR Kevin Lloyd says: 'I can't really afford to be out of work', you'd better believe it. The Lloyd family occupies a large house in the Derbyshire town of Duffield. Room enough for wife Lesley, two dogs, a collection of rabbits, and the five offspring. Mark is 14, Sophie 12, James six, Poppy five, Henry three, and Kevin 36 going on 70. 'We love children and we always wanted a big family. It's been hard work over the years, but in the end it's worth all the effort.' Lloyd keeps in trim with daily runs through the town, or, if he's at the other

family home, in South London, a jog round Battersea Park. As he says: 'I've got to keep my strength up.' In addition to playing Jeff in ITV's Constant Hot W ater, on Friday, Lloyd has a part in the new series of A uf

IT IS 25 years since Del Shannon wrote the song Runaway. It was the big hit of 1961. On Saturday's Unforgettable, on Channel Four, Shannon, now 46, he looks rounder and somewhat ravaged by all the years of recycling the same old songs. 'I don't get a bu77 doin' the songs anymore,' he says, Tm doin' it for the money, and for my family.' But while people are still prepared to pay to see him, Shannon's labours are not entirely in vain.

W iedersehen, Pet. As Harry the plumber he becomes an honorary member of the Auf W iedersehen gang, a country and western fan with clothes to match and a pair of cow horns on his car. 'I like country music,' says Lloyd, 'but I don't think I could be as obsessed as Harry is with it.' Besides, he'd never find the time.

The cop who became a Munster

Taking the weight off Mr T

THE AMERICAN cop comedy series Car 54, Where Are You? was first shown on ITV more than 20 years ago, and is soon to be revived on Channel Four as an archive classic. Created by Nat Hiken, the man behind Sergeant Bilko, it starred Joe E Ross and Fred Gwynne. Gwynne was 6ft 5in and not pretty, but he went from Car 54 to another classic comedy series. With make-up and a bolt through his neck, Gwynne became Herman of The Munsters. Now in his 60s, Gwynne has worked steadily, if spasmodically, being a difficult actor to cast. He was, however, an effective heavy in the 1984 film The Cotton Club. Joe E Ross (left) and Fred Gwynne in `Car 54'. Inset: Gwynne in 'The Munsters'.

If you know what's good for you, don't suggest that Mr T, who plays B A Baracus in ITV's `The A-Team', has a weight problem!

MI=

IT WOULD be a brave man or woman who suggested to Mr T that he was putting on a bit of weight: 'Hello, T, you're looking porky.' Scrunch. In a recent issue of TV Times we happened to mention, merely in passing, that the man who stars on Saturday in ITV's The A -Team, as B A Baracus, was 6ft 2in and 18 stone. This information produced several letters, indignantly phrased, from loyal fans. He was shorter and lighter, they said, though not much. Could it be that Mr T was getting fat? TVWorld dialled Los Angeles to seek the truth. 'He's 5ft I lin,' said T's press agent, categorically. But his weight uctuates. You know, he works out, loses some, then eats a lot, puts weight on, works out again, and so on. At the moment I'd say he was about 15 1/2 stone.' Mr T, himself, is on record as growling that he knows plenty of guys who are taller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not many who are stronger. There must be a lot of truth in that statement.

The fall and rise of TV--am AS DAVID FROST says, there was a time in the none-too-distant past when television's best soap opera was the real-life drama at TV-am. Whatever else Good Morning Britain may have been in earlier days, it was never dull. Not, at least, off screen. But after fighting back from the very brink of financial disaster and public humiliation, TV-am is cheerfully, and successfully, celebrating its third birthday. Here follows a short version of a long, torrid, but ultimately heartwarming story: 28 December 1980 The Independent Broadcasting Authority gives the breakfast television franchise to TV-am, starring David Frost, Anna Ford, Angela Rippon, Michael Parkinson, Robert Kee and Esther Rantzen. Chairman and Chief Executive is Peter Jay. 5 September 1981 Esther Rantzen leaves TVam to have a baby, and leaves the Famous Five behind. 1 February 1983 'Hello, good morning and welcome,' says Frost. Robert Kee launches the new venture with the live news show Daybreak and at 7am it's back to Frostie for Good Morning Britain,

Day One, much praised by critics. 8 March 1983 This is Day 36, and the newspapers report: 'TVam was plunged deeper into crisis by the news that its latest viewing figures have slumped to just 300,000... BBC Breakfast Time has increased its daily audience to 1.6 million.' 18 March 1983 Peter Jay resigns. Jonathan Aitken MP is temporary Chief Executive. 19 March 1983 Frost marries Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard. Peter Jay is a wedding guest and, says Frost, makes a most moving speech. Anna Ford has already made her own speech on other matters. 'There's been a great deal of

treachery...,' she had said. Meanwhile, Roland Rat goes on screen, and Nick Owen is elevated from sport to full presenter. April 1983 Angela Rippon and Anna Ford are sacked. Greg Dyke, 37year-old whiz kid becomes Editor-in-Chief. May 1983 New faces at Camden Lock. Wincey Willis and Lizzie Webb have taken on weather and fitness. Jimmy Greaves is television critic. June 1983 Henry Kelly joins, and Anne Diamond leaves BBC to become a main presenter for TV-am. Michael Parkinson takes a summer break to work in Australian television. The Famous Five are now Two (and Robert Kee leaves in October). January 1984 Angela

Rippon receives substantial, undisclosed damages from TV-am after High Court action. Anna Ford has already made a settlement. Gordon Honeycombe becomes newsreader, and Jonathan Dimbleby joins. 1 February 1984 TVam's first birthday. There are celebrations, but no champagne. May 1984 Greg Dyke resigns. Timothy Aitken (cousin of Jonathan) is now chairman. Australian Bruce Gyngell is managing director. April 1985 Nick Owen conducts exclusive interview with Princess Michael of Kent after controversy about her father's Nazi connections. BBC 'pirates' the interview. June 1985 David Frost interviews Margaret Thatcher who concludes one answer '... you must be bonkers'. It's all good for the ratings. October 1985 Roland Rat goes to the BBC. December 1985 Good Morning Britain is now consistently higher in the ratings than the BBC. Daily peak rating, midDecember — TV-am, 2.3 million, BBC, 1.4 million. Left: Roland Rat, whose popularity on TV-am was an early indicator that things would improve.

Anne's brave step ANNE DIAMOND was approached during TVam's darkest days. 'The programme was a laughing stock and when Editor-in-Chief Greg Dyke asked me to leave my nice BBC job I said no. He called me a coward and said it was the last great television challenge. If he was facing it, so could I. He was right, but it was only the force of his personality that really persuaded me.'

EDITH WILLCOX (above left), nicknamed Sazir, once told her relatives that she lived for a time in the same Kensington, London, road as the late singer Alma Cogan. Last April, Edith's sister, Mrs Betty Davies, travelled to London in search of her. Now about 70, Edith is said to be a keen bingo player. Betty and her other sister, Mrs Dot Morris, are keen to contact Edith as they have news for her.

PATRICK JAMES WINDMILL, pictured aged 18, was 19 when his mother Mary last saw him. That was in 1968-1969, when he was on leave from the Forces. When James, as he is known to the family, returned to Pirbright, Surrey, Mary never saw him again, despite there being no family disagreement.

James's mother is now 60 and undergoing medical treatment. Widowed in 1983, she has moved from the family home in Warley, West Midlands, to a nearby bungalow adapted for the disabled. Mary is keen to see again her son who is now 35 years old. James also has a younger brother, Roy, who is 28 years old.

What a great double act

Above, the Famous Five: Parkinson, Ford, Frost, K ee and Rippon, with the first TV-am chairman, Peter Jay. Inset: Anne Diamond, Nick Owen.

Nick's royal highlight NICK OWEN, who presented sport on the first day of Good Morning Britain, was thrust into the limelight when he became a main presenter during the first chaotic summer months. The peak of Cwen's TVam career remains his interview with Princess Michael of Kent. 'It was shown all round the world and seen by millions of people, but, best of all, the BBC lifted it.'

Frost weathers the storm DAVID FROST enjoyed the first day of TV-am. 'It was very successful — the next day's papers gave us a rousing welcome. But this proved to be false optimism. Within a week the soap opera had begun.' He remembers a period when there were six board meetings in eight days as TV-am struggled. There were better days ahead... a second anniversary party. 'The ratings had improved, and there was a sense of achievement that we were still there.'

PROBABLY THE MOST ENJOYABLE INVESTMENT YOU'LL EVER MAKE National Savings Income Bonds give you a regular monthly income without touching your savings. This is what 12% p.a. earns you every month: Investment

Average Monthly Income

Investment

Average Monthly Income

£ 2,000 £ 5,000 £ 6,000 £ 7,000 £ 8,000 £10,000

£ 20.00 £ 50.00 £ 60.00 £ 70.00 £ 80.00 £100. 00

£13,000 £15,000 £18,000 £20,000 £25,000 £50,000

£130.00 £150.00 £180.00 £200.00 £250.00 £500 . 00

(Each additional £1,000 invested produces an average of £10.00 a month — £120. 00 a year. Maximum holding £50,000.)

When it comes to enjoying life, an investment in National Savings Income Bonds can make all the difference. Interest is paid monthly, so you get extra money coming in regularly to spend enjoying life or simply to help pay the bills.

The difference a regular income makes. Income Bonds currently pay 12% p.a. gross. The rate paid may be changed from time to time to keep it competitive. Interest is calculated on a day to day basis and sent direct to your home or your bank on the 5th of each month. It is paid in full and is subject to tax if you are a taxpayer.

Getting your money out. You need give only 3 months' notice to have any Bond repaid. And there will be no loss of interest ifyou've held your Bond for a year or more. (For details of earlier repayment, see paragraph 6 of the prospectus opposite.)

Invest here and now You can be sure your investment will always provide a worthwhile income — month in, month out. All you have to do is complete the coupon and send it with your cheque (payable to 'National Savings') to NSIB, Bonds and Stock Office, Blackpool, FY3 9YP. Or ask for an application form at your Post Office. It's probably the most enjoyable investment you'll ever make.

Any interest earned on the Bond and not already paid before repayment will be added to the sum to be repaid. lf, in the case of repayment under paragraph 6.2, it is not reasonably practicable to stop an interest payment from being made after the repayment date, the amount of that interest payment will be deducted from the sum to be repaid. 5.4 The Treasury may from time to time vary the Treasury rate upon giving six weeks' notice. 5.5 The Treasury may from time to time vary the intervals at and dates on which interest is payable, upon giving notice, and in so doing may specify. holding limits above or below which any variation will apply. No variation will apply to a Bond issued ssued before the variation unless the Bondholder agrees to such application. 5.6 Interest on a Bond registered in the sole name of a minor under seven years of age will normally be paid into a National Savings Bank account in the name of the minor. 5.7 Interest on a Bond will be paid without deduction of Income Tax, but it is subject to Income Tax and must be included in any return of income made to the Inland Revenue.

The preceding sub-paragraphs will apply to the part repaid as to a whole Bond: the remaining balance will have the same date of purchase and the same interest dates as were applicable to the original Bond immediately prior to repayment.

PAYMENTS 7. Interest will be payable direct to a National Savings Bank or other bank account or by crossed warrant sent by post. Capital will be repayable direct to a National Savings Bank

MINORS 8. A Bond held by a minor under the age of seven years, either solely or jointly with any other person, will not be repaya ble, except with the consent of the Director of Savings.

A REPUTATION FOR QUALITY The word is spreading about Pork Farms and that word is quality. To those who have known about us from our first beginnings as a local Nottinghamshire business, the excellence of Pork Farms products is a matter of fact. As we've grown, more and more of you have tried our pies. And our reputation goes from strength to strength. Now here's a chance to try our range and have an opportunity to win some superb prizes. The prize winning quality of Pork Farms pies has won us many awards at major bakery exhibitions over the years. An acknowledgement of our excellence by the experts in the trade. But we didn't set out just to win prizes. What matters most to us is that every Pork Farms pie we make meets your high standards. Certain proof that we've always had the concern for quality you'd expect from a family business. The Art of Pastry Making At Pork Farms we treat pastry making as something of an art We mill our own flour to a proven recipe which combines the purest North American and English wheat. It's only this blend of flour which can deliver an appetising shortcrust base and a flaky puff pastry lid. We bake our pastry around the clock. So it's always fresh. And when our pies are ready for the oven we coat each one of them with a fresh egg glaze. It's this individual attention that makes every Pork Farms hot pie something special. Ingredients for Success Be it a succulent meat pie, tasty sausage roll or filling Cornish pastie, you can be confident that Pork Farms care as much about the filling as the pastry. Take Steak and Kidney for example. We select the finest cuts of beef chosen for its tenderness. We dice the meat making sure that we only use the leanest chunks. We choose ox kidney for a fuller

flavour enhanced by the delicate gravy made from the natural juices of the beef, lightly seasoned and thickened to give a rich rounded taste. Or how about Chicken and Vegetable? Always made with tender chicken and only the freshest vegetables. The chicken is cooked in its own stock to make a tasty gravy. We use selected Maris Piper and Wilja potatoes, carrots, peas and sweetcorn. Ingredients you would be happy to use in your own kitchen. Now you can understand why Pork Farms have a reputation for much prized quality. Quality you'd expect from a company dedicated to using the finest recipes. A quality you can be proud to serve to your family. The Pork Farms Hot Pies Range: Steak and Kidney Pie, Beef Steak and Gravy Pie, Meat and Potato Pie, Minced Beef and Onion Pie, Chicken and Mushroom Pie, Steak Pie, Chicken and Vegetable Pie, Steak and Kidney Pudding, Shepherds Pie. Traditional Cornish Pastie, Beef and Onion Pastie, Chicken and Vegetable Curry Pastie, and Sausage Rolls. RULES 1.

SATURDAY Ice Skating European Figure Championships Now that Karen Barber and Nicky Slater have split up and gone their separate ways, will Sharon Jones and Paul Askham be the new Torvill and Dean? They lead Britain's challenge at the European Figure Championships, which ITV screens from Copenhagen in Denmark today. Last year they finished llth, but Jones, 21, and Askham, 23, have gained confidence since they won the 1985 British championships, after being runners-up to Barber and Slater the year before. Experts do not expect too much of them yet a while. Their trainer, Joan Slater, mother of Nicky, sees their real target as the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada.

MONDAY Coronation Street There are dramatic new developments in the romance between factory boss Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs) and young Susan Barlow (Wendy Jane Walker) in today's episode of Coronation Street on ITV, and more headaches for her father, Ken (William Roache), who has tried his utmost to bring the affair to an end. The piquancy of the situation, as regular viewers know, is that three years ago Baldwin had an affair with Deirdre Barlow, Ken's wife. Viewers were kept on tenterhooks for weeks, waiting to know if the marriage would survive, before Deirdre finally decided to stay with Ken. Now Baldwin has Ken's daughter in love with him. This storyline, which has been building up through recent weeks, can run and run, and will do so for more weeks yet.

Letter Line

It all started with Lenny Henry more than a year ago, when he hosted a 'pilot', a one-off Saturday Live show to determine whether a series would be feasible and worthwhile. It was, in fact, hugely successful — and was recently given a showing on ITV. Tonight, Lenny returns to Channel Four to host a programme in the series which has resulted. Although he is only 27, which is young compared with most established comics who have starred in series of their own, he has been in the business for 11 years, ever since making his TV debut in the ITV talent show New Faces as an astonishingly mature 16-year-old. It is a tribute to his sheer professionalism that he was chosen to host the pilot in the first place, for much depended upon it being a success. Apart from linking tonight's acts, he will also star in a spoof of Beverly Hills Cop, the 1984 box-office hit movie, taking the role of its black American comic star Eddie Murphy, as an unorthodox cop smashing a drugs racket. The show is, of course, live, before an audience who can either sit in the conventional studio seats or on the fairground rides — eating candyfloss — that form a background to the show.

TUESDAY

SUNDAY Highway In today's Highway on ITV, Sir Harry Secombe visits Basingstoke, the Hampshire town on the A33, north east of Winchester. Home of electronics and pharmaceutical companies and the Automobile Association, it was chosen deliberately to contrast with some of the prettier venues Highway has visited. In Basingstoke, Sir Harry visits the parish church of St Michael where, today being the Feast of Candlemas (commemorating the Purification of the Virgin after the birth of Christ), the congregation and choir will be candlelit as they sing In the Bleak Midwinter. He also looks in on veteran broadcaster David Jacobs, in town with a roadshow recording a regional ITV programme.

WEDNESDAY

Australian Rules Football It has been described as a mixture of soccer, rugby, Gaelic football and grievous bodily harm. A ustralian Rules Football, on Channel Four again today, is the game with more of almost everything. More players — 18 of them a side, plus a couple of 'interchange' players who can be substituted at will. There's more playing time — 100 minutes in all; more playing area — which is oval shaped; more goalposts — four at each end; and more scoring — often 100 points a side. Australians call the game, simply, 'Rules', though Paul Hogan, the lager-drinking comedian, brands this a misnomer, for 'one of the nice things about Rules is that it's hardly got any, because we don't like 'em much'. In fact, kicking, catching and fisting the elliptical ball are all allowed. So is running and bouncing the ball, though throwing it, for some reason, is barred. If you've never seen A ustralian Rules Football you could be in for a very big surprise.

THURSDAY

First Tuesday

Lytton's Diary

Minder

Whatever became of the Ulster Peace People? Ten years ago Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan made headlines around the world when they launched a peace movement in Belfast. They were honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize and received honorary doctorates in law from America's Yale University. First Tuesday on ITV reveals that Mairead Corrigan, now Mrs Jackie Maguire, still works for peace but is no longer a leader. Betty Williams, now Mrs James Perkins, is married to an American and lives in Florida.

There was a time when newspaper gossip columns were concerned largely with members of the aristocracy and always referred to them in sycophantic terms. Today, the titled, even the eminent, are dealt with in the same irreverent way as the stars of showbusiness and the pop world. Lytton's Diary, the ITV drama series starring Peter Bowles as a Fleet Street diary editor, reflects the current trend in tonight's episode. A new editor, played by James Aubrey, decrees that the paper must appeal more to young readers. Lytton, incidentally, should take care with his new boss: viewers will recall Aubrey as the wife-beating Gavin in Bouquet of Barbed W ire, who floored Susan Penhaligon with an overrealistic punch.

Dennis Waterman has good cause to remember the Minder episode called Dead Men Do Tell Tales which ITV is showing again tonight. For his former wife, Patricia Maynard, plays a guest role in this episode — the first time they had worked together in their eight years of marriage. 'It was great,' he said, before the first screening four years ago. But five months later, in June 1982, Patricia announced that she was divorcing him because of his relationship with Rula Lenska, whom he met in another Minder episode. In October the marriage was ended. Patricia's role in the programme is that of the mysterious widow of a man whose body, in a coffin, is being stored in a lock-up garage. This is the last of the present Minder re-runs, but a further series is due to start in six weeks' time.

Peace people: Mairead Corrigan, Betty W illiams.

FRIDAY How to Survive the 9-5 There can be stress in work, and there can be satisfaction. How to Survive the 9-5, on Channel Four, aims to show us how to reduce the one and increase the other. As research indicates that more people are becoming ill and liable to suffer heart attacks as a result of stress in their jobs, this is a timely series, presented by a world authority on the subject, Cary Cooper, Professor of Organisational Psychology at Manchester University's Institute of Technology. Part one deals mainly with the different make-up of individuals, ranging from gardeners — considered to be the least stressed by their work — to Fleet Street newspapermen, thought to be among the most ulcer-prone of all.

Director James Whale's famous tongue-in-cheek horror film, alive with atmosphere, as travellers are stranded for the night at an old mansion that you almost expect to crumble to pieces at any moment. Based on J B Priestley's book Benighted, the film has a marvellous cast that, besides Boris Karloff as the hulking butler, includes Charles Laughton, Gloria Stuart, Ernest Thesiger, Melvyn Douglas and Raymond Massey. Full of quotable lines and creepy moments, it's a must for fans of the 1932 genre.

The best of the Universal Dracula series by some way, tenuously adapted from Bram Stoker's short story Dracula's Guest.

10.00pm-12.10am A strong contender for box-office and critical acclaim in the bed-andbosom environment of the British cinema of the early Sixties, this superbly acted downbeat romantic drama gave Alan Bates one of his biggest pushes towards stardom. His co-star, June Ritchie, alas, found herself subsequently in too many inferior imitations and it was some time before she re-established herself as an actress of wide-ranging 1962 talent.

Sleuth who keeps villains in check I AM asked by WS of Harpenden, Hertfordshire, to show a season of films featuring Raymond Chandler's character Philip Marlowe, the erudite, chess-playing private eye who sees himself as a sort of modern knight errant in the sleazy underside of Los Angeles. The first Chandler films were a couple of second features in the early Forties, but Marlowe was eliminated and the plots adapted to fit other fictional detectives: The High W indow became Time To Kill (1942), featuring Lloyd Nolan as Michael Shayne, and Farewell My Lovely was the basis for The Falcon Takes Over (1942), with George Sanders. The first genuine Marlowe was Dick Powell, who in 1944 starred in a more faithful and elaborate version of Farewell My Lovely, titled Murder, My Sweet TVTIMES 1 7 February 1986 -

The following year, Robert Montgomery starred as the detective in The Lady In the Lake, and George Montgomery (no relation) took over in The High W indow, also known as The Brasher Doubloon. The next Marlowe film did not appear until 1969, when James Garner starred in a thriller called simply Marlowe. Elliott Gould's 1973 version of The Long Goodbye is a fashionable travesty. And that seemed likely to be it, until in the late Seventies Robert Mitchum played Marlowe in remakes of Farewell My Lovely (1975) and The Big Sleep (1978). The Eighties brought a short season of Marlowe tales on TV, starring Powers Boothe.

Peopled with totally believable characters, Michael Wilcox's perceptive, witty award-winning script makes you care about his characters' lives and share in their successes and failures. Other major pluses are the camerawork of Charles Stewart, which captures the beauty of the harsh, isolated countryside, and the top-drawer performances of Michael McNally and Robert Smeaton.

Romance in 'Brookside' for Cheryl Leigh as Vicki.

Scatty scally TERRY SULLIVAN'S new girlfriend, Vicki Cleary, in Channel Four's Brookside is a scally. That's how actress Cheryl Leigh, who plays blonde Vicki, describes the character. The Merseyside term scally means someone streetwise, earthy, but with a soft centre. The Liverpool-born actress certainly has something to sing about in her new Brookside romance, and she will probably do just that. Songwriter and singer Cheryl leads her own modern rock bank, Word for Word, which she helped form with her regular boyfriend, Dave Lorentz, and has already toured Israel and Sweden. In private life, Cheryl says she is scatty rather than scally: When I made my song-and-dance debut at London's Rainbow Theatre I invited all my family and friends. and then fell off the stage into the orchestra pit.' `Albion' regulars in Paris.

An Emmerdale star is born THOUGH SLEEPY-EYED Thomas William Hornby doesn't appear to show much interest in his future — you don't at his age — his early life as a television personality is already assured. They've been talking about him for months around Emmerdale Faun. His mother, Helen Weir, who plays Pat Sugden, discovered she was putting on weight. Her visits to hospital and the surprise news of her pregnancy were written into the Emmerdale script. It's definitely a family affair: Clive Hornby, who plays father Jack Sugden, is Helen's real-life husband. Thomas William was born, weighing 71b, in December. Because of size problems, a new baby may have to stand in for him on screen when the birth is announced in a couple of months' time, but it seems certain that the original star will resume.

Burning the midnight oil: Janet Hughes shows off another original dress for the Stephen Stone collection in 'Gems'.

AS STEPHEN STONE (Steven Mann) assembles his new fashion collection in Gems on ITV, spare a thought for the imaginative lady who burns the midnight oil actually designing the clothes. In a large house in Clapham, London, fashion designer Janet Hughes gets her reallife 'Lance Hughes' collection ready for the fashion world, then starts on the Gems ideas, which are catching the viewers' eyes for upto-the-minute designs. 'Whereas one company is very real and the other a pretend one, equal care goes into the designs,' says Janet, who holds a fashion degree. Her own company, like Gems, is in its infancy, and has just completed its first successful season. What fashion changes are ahead? Sad news, I'm afraid, for those who ant to hide overblown figures. 'The fitted, bodyhugging styles are on the way,' says Janet.

Animated antics with the dopey pair of canine sleuths.

Forty days ago Christians all over the world were celebrating the birth of Jesus. Today's Mass, from the Roman Catholic Church of St Richard of Chichester, celebrates Candlemas: the Feast of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple by His parents, Joseph and Mary. It was on this occasion that Jesus was spoken of as 'a light to enlighten the Nations' and this morning's service reflects that scene as candles are blessed and carried in procession, calling to mind Christ as the Light of the World. Concelebrants are Canon Francis Collins, Fr Laurence Quin-Morris and Fr Thomas Treherne. Preacher is The Rev Hilary Parsons, with Cantor John Evans and organist Stephen Dean. Music director is Paul Inwood. Commentary by Fr John Nuttall. ASSOCIATE PRODUCER FRANCES TULLOCH DIRECTOR

12.30 Drugs For All? JENNY BRYAN PAIN

We all suffer pain at times and often rush to the chemists for relief or expect our doctors to prescribe drugs. Sometimes, with a stomach ulcer for example, drug therapy can be an effective answer.

7.00 Wish You Were Here...? JUDITH CHALMERS ANNEKA RICE TED MOULT It was a former King of Spain who, indirectly, was the instigator of one of the most famous chains of hotels in Europe — the Spanish paradors. They are government owned and often converted from historic buildings. In 1926 King Alfonso XIII was on a shooting expedition at Gredos in the mountains 100 miles northwest of Toledo when he remarked that it would make the perfect site for a hotel. Two years later he opened the first parador there. Ted Moult visits the hotel as he and his wife complete their fly-drive holiday around the historic cities of Spain. Judith looks at chalet holidays at a family holiday park at Bideford in Devon and Anneka goes skiing at Igls in Austria. Travel consultant is Robin Dewhurst.

Now, with the return of mass unemployment, and a government many believe is wedded to 19th century values, the welfare state faces its severest challenge. This film views its role, gives an historical account of its birth, and questions its future. Trade de FE-ns Production

JONATHAN DIMBLEBY PEACE PEOPLE: THE DREAM THAT DIED Ten years ago the Peace People raised hope for an end to the violence in Ulster. Thousands marched the streets of Belfast and two of its leaders won the 1977 Nobel Peace Prize. Four years later the organisation disintegrated amid recriminations. What went wrong? Its leaders — Mairead Corrigan, Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown — talk for the first time about what happened. Reporter is Geoff Druett. Cameraman Frank Pocklington; sound Chris Clarkson. Director/Producer Nick Gray. SUGAR DITCH ALLEY Tunica, Mississippi, is the poorest country town in the poorest state in the US. It's also a town where time has stood still. But the squalor of Sugar Ditch Alley, where the black population lives, is contrasted with the three dozen white millionaires who live across the tracks. Tunica still operates an apartheid system; its leaders do not even pay lip service to postsegregation America. Reporter is Morley Safer. Producer Marti Galovic Palmer.

HAVE YOUR FORD LOOKED AFTER BY THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW IT INSIDE OUT. YOUR FORD DEALERS. THEY'VE GOT THE TRAINING, THE EQUIPMENT AND THE PARTS. AND THEY GUARANTEE THEIR WORK. How long is it since you looked under your bonnet? It's not like the old days is it? What with microchips, engine management computers and all the other high tech devices that are commonplace today, the Ford of the '80s is far more advanced than it used to be. That's worked wonders for its performance. And made it much more reliable. But when it comes to service you obviously shouldn't trust the job to any old Tom, Dick or Harry. These days it's far better left to the people who really understand the inner workings of the modern Ford. Your Ford dealers. Luckily that's not a problem, because there are so many of them. They've got technicians who've been properly trained in the mysteries of electronics. At the Ford Service Training College. They've got specialist tools and diagnostic equipment that you don't always find in non-Ford garages. And, of course, they invariably have the right parts on the premises; something that can save you valuable time. In fact, they're so sure of the quality of their work that most Ford dealers now give a Lifetime Guarantee on the majority of their repairs. Which means that if a guaranteed repair ever fails you won't have to pay for it again for as long as you keep the car. Not for the parts. or the labour. So next time your Ford needs a little tender loving care, it'll pay you to take it to your Ford dealer. OK lads. Now you can put it all back together again.

Three great religious groups have emerged from the Middle East: Jews, Christians and Moslems. They are the 'people of the book, as all believe that God has spoken directly to man and that His words are written in the Bible or the Koran. These scriptures have much in common and so do their cultures. But for more than a thousand years, Christians and Moslems have been locked in mortal combat — from the Crusades to the continuing fighting in the Middle East.

A Capital Bond will earn you Nationwide's top rate of 9.50% net on any sum from £500 upwards. And Nationwide guarantees, that for the full 3 year term of your Bond, you'll receive 21/2% above our variable share account rate. You can take your interest as monthly income, or leave it invested, in which case, your earnings will add up to a compounded annual rate of 9.73%. That's the

equivalent of a gross compounded annual rate of 13.89% to a basic rate taxpayer. Obviously at that level of interest, we ask you to give us 90 days notice of withdrawal, (although you can have the money immediately and lose 90 days interest on the sum withdrawn).

Snap up our sunshine bargain

nsi Two weeks eg21e in

Greece from on 099

Ser

GLORIOUS Greece, with its bright sunshine, clear skies, blue sea that's what awaits you with our TVTimes holiday in the fishing village of Agia Trias in northern Greece. Even the price is attractive two weeks from only ÂŁ199. Agia Trias is in the heart of the green, mountainous Halkidiki region of Greece. At the edge of the deep blue Aegean Sea, it's well served with friendly waterfront tavernas selling freshly-caught fish, delicious kebabs, moussaka, crunchy Greek salads, with local feta cheese and black olives, and good cheap wine. Your hotel is the Sun Beach, a family-run establishment with full airconditioning, and all bedrooms have private bath or shower and WC. There's a large swimming-pool, with a separate pool for children, a shady terrace alongside the hotel, and a poolside taverna, serving typical Greek food at reasonable prices, or you can dine in the hotel's pleasant restaurant, where there is a selection of local and international dishes. Your stay is on a bed-andbreakfast basis, giving you the freedom, if you wish, to eat away from the hotel - to sample the keenly-priced meals at the many

cafes or tavernas in the village. At the hotel there's a disco most nights, evenings of Greek music and dancing, and you have free access to the nearby sandy beach, where you will find canoes, pedaloes, children's play areas, sunshades, basketball and volleyball courts. For souvenir shopping and sightseeing, you can visit nearby Salonika, with its steep cobbled alleys and tiny fifth-century church. The town dates back more than 2000 years and was visited by St Paul. You can see Mount Olympus across the bay and walk the sturdy ruins of the old city wall. During your stay, you can take optional excursions along the coast to Mount Athos, with its 40 monasteries, or across the Macedonian plain to Pella, famed for its ancient floor mosaics, and the waterfalls of Edessa. Departures for this great-value sunshine holiday are on Saturdays between April and October, by scheduled flight between London (Heathrow) and Salonika. Seven-day holidays are also available. For full details, phone our dial-abrochure service on Leicester (0533) 559855 or complete and post the coupon below.

Y our hotel, above, offers wide facilities for enjoying yourself in the sun, and you can stroll to nearby A gia Trias, below.

Book this special TVTimes holiday and you could be gazing at this view of Agia Trias, enjoying the beauty of Greece in real life.

[1] Monday: All in Good Faith

he act of moving from the country to a big city can be traumatic for some - a blessing for others. For Philip Lambe (Richard Briers) in Monday evening's ITV comedy series A ll in Good Faith, a new parish in a busy town offers the challenge of 'getting things done'. Here, two senior churchmen discuss the kind of problems and difficulties Lambe might encounter, and explain the differences between parish life in town and country.

Altared images

THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH The Rt Rev Bill Westwood 'I worked in Lowestoft, SuffoLk, and then became Bishop of Edmonton, London, in an area which contained the Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham, the scene of last year's terrible riots. There is an overt godlessness in the city and a constant knocking of religion, which you don't find in rural areas. A man contemplating a move from a country parish would have to prepare himself for the anonymity of it all. I found it strange at first that my wife and I could go out locally and not see anyone we knew, even in a restaurant nearby. That would never happen in a country area, where clergy and churchwardens are part of the fabric of life. 'A vicar who was new to the city would have to discover slowly what his role is to be. In a village, your role is shaped for you, to a degree, but it is not so defined in the city. For instance, I don't have to prove I'm Bishop of Peterborough. Thank God. I am; but I had to prove I was Bishop of Edmonton every day. In certain areas, what was once a friendly indifference has been replaced, in the last few years, by an aggressive hostility. 'The hardest job of all for a bishop is to match the parish to the priest. Generally, I wouldn't send a man with a young family to an inner-city parish. The children can have a very rough time in local

Above: Canon Eugene O'Sullivan, of St Dunstan's, K ing's Heath, Birmingham. 'A priest new to the city has to be sensitive to the different situation,' he says. Left: Richard Briers as the vicar in ITV's clerical comedy series 'All in Good Faith, who leaves a country parish for one in a town.

Above: The Rt Rev Bill W estwood, the Bishop of Peterborough, once worked in East Anglia and then became Bishop of Edmonton in London. 'It can be hard for a vicar in the city.. you don't have any time for doubts or self-indulgent analysis. . . you just have to get on with it,' he declares.

schools because they live in a different sort of house. I would prefer to send bachelors or a young married vicar with no children. It can be an intolerable strain on a young family. 'It can be very hard for a vicar in the city. Religion tends to be more colourful, richer. You have to look after your faith and, in a way, be far more religious because the battering can be extreme. You don't have any time for doubts or self-indulgent analysis. You just have to get On with it. 'Yet they queue up. I never have any trouble filling the tough parishes. I wanted a vicar for a nice suburban parish; very nice church, good choir, a good C of E job. I saw 11 fellows before one of them

took the appointment! It wasn't a challenge, they said. 'I had a hard living in Tottenham and one at Somers Town, near Euston Station. Both times, I found a chap who said yes immediately. They want to be in at the sharp end, to take on a bit of a battle, and some are so noble, they don't want to set themselves a time limit. 'That's when bishops are required to have a degree of scepticism. When the young men come to me with glistening eyes and wives who say, "We're going in as a team to the inner city", they think I'm a terrible old cynic, but I feel I have to be, to protect them. 'Today I have blue tits outside my window, squirrels on the lawn, but

in the city there was so much noise, so many people, sometimes I could feel the weight of seven million people all around me.'

CANON EUGENE O'SULUVAN St Dunstan's, tang's Heath, Birmingham 'Although not everyone in a country parish is a churchgoer, the church is central, part of the scene of the country, but you rarely find that in a city area. The church is very much more a part of the social and community rural scene. The role for the church in inner-city areas is very different and it is hard not to get caught up in problems that are peculiar to city life. For

instance, in the recent troubles in Handsworth in Birmingham, the church did try to play a reconciling role. 'There is an unpredictability about life in the city, which a young priest would find hard to adjust to. Life moves at a fairly even pace in a rural area, and one can fairly expect when something is about to happen in advance, but things happen faster in the city. 'Availability is the most important factor for a priest in his community, and in the city he will be called upon to deal with an enormous variety of . problems that are different from any he has encountered in the country. 'Truancy, for example, is something you rarely find in rural areas, while the drugs scene is complex and tragic. 'A priest who is new to the city has to keep his eyes and ears open and be sensitive to the different situation, not expecting to be able to solve all the problems overnight. 'He must remember, most of all, that there will be a number of committed people who he can rely on to support him. If he sells himself well, in the good sense of the word, and gets their confidence, they can be invaluable to him during the transition. 'Certainly in my own case, and I know in many others, it is a mistake to change the existing set-up too quickly, even if you feel it is unsatisfactory. 'Some inner-city parishes are a little like transit camps where people are passing through; there is very little stability or continuity and that can be very depressing for a priest who wants to give longterm support. 'One thing remains constant, wherever a priest may be. Our primary task is to lead the people in worship, and that doesn't change with the surroundings. 'However, if I had to move to a country parish now, I think I would feel a bit lost. The birds would probably wake me in the morning, whereas I can sleep through all the city traffic.'

Dear Katie Berkshire RG11 6A U. It has also opened a brand-new centre where the disabled can find out if they can drive and can test out suitable vehicles.

Hidden message I would like tc let a girl at work know that I think she is attractive and that I like her • very much. I wonder if you have any ideas for a Valentine's Day gift, as it could then be anonymous. Ps*

Beating boredom I am 62 years old and this week have had a nasty shock. In a blinding flash I have realised that I am a bore. I have so often cringed to hear others stun listeners with long stories packed with irrelevant detail, but once or twice recently I have seen thatglazed look appear as I waded on, unable to stop. Am I too old to change? I have always quite liked myself, but suddenly I loathe myself instead and feel most depressed. Many times I have been pinned to the wall by bores and have detested them. Give me some hope that it is not too late? Katie Jessup Southampton, Hampshire I'm sending you £10 for my Letter of The W eek as I so enjoyed what you wrote. I don't believe that a bore could write in such an entertaining way, encapsulating all you wanted to say on two sides of paper. Many people are quite unable to be so concise when writing to me. I am sure that being aware of the pitfalls will stop you from becoming longwinded. Remember to ask your friends questions rather then embark on anecdotes about yourself and your family. Bring up topical subjects and find out what they think about them. This is also sure-fire advice for shy people. So don't despair, dear namesake, just remember that T is not so interesting a pronoun as 'you'.

Case studies Can you tell me where I can purchase a new continental quilt case? My double one has seen better days and I would like to try to convert it into a single size. Mrs M Jenkinson Wolverhampton, West Midlands

I am 37 years old, have been married nearly nine years and am very happy, except that my dad interferes all the time and tries to tell us what to do. If we don't accept invitations, he sulks and won't speak to us. I have never answered him back, though I have often felt like it, but recently he has been pestering me a lot, and my husband, seeing how upset it was making me, was sharp with him. My dad hasn't forgiven him. Do you think my husband did the right thing, and should I write and tell my dad how I feel, as I haven't the courage to have a confrontation. My husband is getting really fed up with it. Mrs JD Bolton, Greater Manchester

I am divorced and have recently found a new boyfriend. My three children like him a lot and we love each other, but my mother hates him and is doing everything possible to split us up, just as she broke up my marriage. I am desperately worried lest I lose him because of her. She only lives a few doors away and is driving me crazy. Christine Surrey Some parents find it impossible not to interfere in their grown-up sons' and daughters' lives. It is usually well meaning but can cause great strain and is sometimes dangerous. Y our husband has every right to be peeved, Mrs J D. If you daren't face your father, write and remind him of your affection for him, but explain that he must accept that your loyalty is now to the man you married. If he forces you to choose, he will lose out. He will undoubtedly go very quiet for a while, but as soon as he surfaces, arrange a family meeting, stand firm and say that you cannot allow

him to trespass on your private life any more. A nd you, Christine, must be equally assertive and speak out. Y ou would be mad to allow your mother's jealous behaviour to ruin such a promising relationship. If you don't make it clear, your lack of moral courage will cause real suffering for each of you. Y ou may even have to think of moving farther away.

Weather beater While we still have winter on our minds, may I offer you a tip from my home country, Germany. There, as soon as the snow settles, we take out all our carpets, rugs and chair seats and lay them upside down on the snow. Then we give them a good beating. You would be surprised how much dirt comes out. Mina Woodhouse Camberwell, London

I pass on your advice with confidence as I already rely on so many excellent cleaning tips from your country. Obviously, you choose a day when the snow surface is 'deep and crisp and even' not slushy, and dry off soft furnishings if they show signs of being damp.

Pore problem I assume that most of your mail is from women, so I hope you will not mind answering my query. I am 18 years old and have very enlarged pores on my face. I would be grateful if you could recommend a treatment. James

Bradford, West Yorkshire I assure you I get many letters from gentlemen and can certainly help you. Enlarged pores usually go with a greasy skin, and this needs to be kept extra clean, as it is the grease trying to get to the surface which

enlarges the pores. A fter using soap and water, dab the area with cotton wool soaked in astringent. If shy to buy, tell the chemist it is for your girlfriend. A t the same time ask hi-siher advice on a face mask for an oily complexion, or look for a tube advertising this fact. Use this according to instructions, in private! Finally, if you have a penny to spare, write to Katherine Corbett for her special Open Pore Lotion, price £4.95, plus 50p postage. The address is Katherine Corbett, 2nd Floor, 21 South Molton Street, London W lY 1DD.

Stepping out There must be many readers who find it difficult to get on coaches and buses because of the high step. I have overcome this problem. I now carry my own small-sized step in a carrier bag! It is a plastic step/stool which is 91/2in high and obtainable from most hardware stores. Mind you, my wife has to pick it up once I am aboard, but she says it's well worth it as we now get such pleasure from seeing the countryside and visiting relatives. D G Freeman Ipswich, Suffolk

Trn all in favour of anything that gets the elderly out and about. This reminds me to mention another helpful organisation, The Disabled Drivers' Motor Club, which was founded in 1922 and helps the disabled to attain maximum independent mobility. It is a selfsupporting charity which very much needs new members. If you are interested for yourself, a friend, relative or neighbour, contact DDMC Membership Bureau, Freepost Llandysul, SZ44 5ZZ, enclosing sae for details. I you want any information on any aspect of transport for the disabled (including driving) contact Mobility A dvice and V ehicle Information Service, Transport and Road Research Laboratory, Old W okingham Road, Crowthorne,

Depending on how full your wallet is, here are a few ideas. A romantic orchid, delivered to your lady-love, costs f8 (overseas, £10, or for a luxury box in the UK, £25). A bottle of pink champagne will knock you back £17.50. A ll are from Send a Gift, Monk's Eleigh, Ipswich, Suffolk 1P7 7QJ, telephone (0449) 740780. Or if it's just the message you want, how about an 'I-love-you-from-guesswho?' balloon? Send a 40p postal order to Curious Caterpillar by Post, 102 Bancroft, Hitchizz, Hertfordshire SG5 1NB, and it will be despatched anonymously in a handwritten envelope.

Last words Can you imagine how horrified I was to discover that I was pregnant for the fourth time, despite my husband having had a vasectomy. I just wasn't interested in the baby at all until I read the letter from your reader in which she decided to have her third baby although her husband was terminally ill and she had first thought of having an abortion. I showed my husband that letter and then I cried. I realised if she could cope, so could I. Now I'm really looking forward to the birth. God bless your reader and thank you, Katie. I'm sure our baby will be as 'special' as hers. Mrs P Strathclyde

I read with interest the letter from the girl whose boyfriend does not wash enough. I had this problem and found the answer. All I did was to get him to bath me. In no time at all he joined me, and from then on the bathroom became our playroom, too. Now we are married and both ever so clean. We still bath together, but our little daughter has joined us. We all duck each other. Bathing should be fun. CA Hampshire There's always £10 for the Letter of The Week. Katie regrets that she is unable to enter into individual correspondence.

The whole vast subject of war ... one of the inescapable facts of our world. We might deplore it, but we can't pretend it doesn't exist. In 1982 we witnessed a grim and bloody war in the South Atlantic — and the many other trouble spots around the world show no signs of abating. But while the fact of war is always with us, its nature is constantly changing — remarkable missiles are making a mockery of conventional defence systems, incredible new technologies are challenging accepted practice.
