In my view Cliff Richard is a nice fellow. Watching him as I waited to go on stage at the TV Times Awards the other week, it was clear that here was a man of universal popularity. I knew how much the public liked him — he was streets ahead when we counted the votes cast by TV Times readers for their favourite singer; but he is also obviously much admired by his peers. Not a single celebrity passed him without stopping to pat him on the back and, in some instances, openly admitting they were fans. And when he stepped out on stage before an audience almost entirely made up of fellow professionals, no single prizewinner or presenter that evening received more spontaneous and sustained applause. So what's his secret? Well, even he seemed a bit mystified. I liked his comment that last year he pipped Madonna at the post for our award; this year it was Bros and Kylie Minogue who were left trailing; and, he said, shaking his head in mild wonder, he's now 48. If prompted, he will also admit that singing in tune is something of an asset (not to say a rarity). I'd add that the modest way he has carried himself over three decades combined with that prodigious talent explain absolutely why he remains, quite literally, a chart-topper. For evidence of that, turn to page 12 and your last chance to send for our collection of Cliff's greatest hits. You won't regret it.

ITV, Sunday: Forever Green

JohnAlderton atuiPaulineCoil ins own Cirencester way in Gloucestershire, in the heart of the English countryside, lies a farm. Not the manyacred, fully mechanised, crop-spraying kind of farm. This one is the tin, ramshackle, past-the-village, past-the-hamlet, the milkman-still-doesn'tknow-it kind. There's a solitary horse, a clutch of hens, a cock rather unwisely picking a fight with the farm cat. And in the field behind, buried in the mud of a typically English summer's day, is the whole panoply of caterer's vans, power lines and Portakabin production offices. ITV, with John Alderton and Pauline Collins, has moved in to make Forever

Green. The list of props on the call sheet for the next day

It was awful —like having a piece of your heart torn out, reads 'veterinary equipment, uneaten fodder, dung-heap. . .' Forever Green is about the real country, not the way town dwellers like to imagine it, and the series is about a couple who learn the difference between the two. Car salesman jack Boult and his wife, Harriet, decide to move out of London for the sake of his daughter, who has chronic asthma. John Alderton and Pauline Collins are working together again after.. .

John Alderton and Pauline Collins are reunited on our screens for the first time in 10 years this week. But this is the story of another reunion in thefamily. . . between a mother and daughter. By SARAH GRISTW OOD. Main picture PETER BOLTON 'Twelve years,' says he. 'More like 10,' she corrects him. Being back together again on set is 'very easy, isn't it?' says Pauline, looking at John. 'We don't have to spend that period of dancing around each other that you do with a new person; we work quickly together. And it's rather nice that after 10 years apart we've both learnt new things to bring back to the partnership.' 'Working together always was easy,' agrees John. 'But there does seem to be this idea that people like to see a married couple, a unit, always together. We didn't want to be that, nor do we now.' One of show business's best-established couples, they met in 1969 in a West End play called The Night

I Chased the W oman with an Eel. Since then they have co-starred in Upstairs Downstairs; No, Honestly; Y es, Honestly; and Thomas and Sarah. They live in Hampstead, north London, with their three children — Nicholas, 17, Kate, 16, and Richard, 11. 'I like London,' Pauline says, 'but John hankers after the country.' John particularly enjoyed doing Forever Green, and the old actors'

All in the family: John and Pauline having a cosy time in 'Upstairs, Downstairs' (top) and John with daughter K atie on the set of `Father's Day' (1983) adage that you should never work with children or animals held no terrors for him. 'I don't think I need to worry that they're acting me off the screen. I never met the sheep yet who could do a decent double-take.' Pauline has a more per-

sonal interest in the series. The efforts her character, Harriet, makes for her asthmatic stepdaughter closely reflect Pauline's own interest in alternative medicine. It's an interest that began a long time ago, before it became fashionable to dabble in it. 'I first had acupuncture for an ulcer about 15 years ago,' she says. 'But I really got into naturopathy at the age of 40. I felt undercranked, I felt in need of a service. And the emphasis has been on trying to stay well rather than treating an illness.' The past few years have been a time of change and development for Pauline, both personally and professionally. At 48, she has become increasingly reluctant to 'play down', to act the pretty, nearly young woman which, until recently, had been her lot. She has never worried about ageing. 'I've liked all the big birthdays — 30, 40, 50 coming up soon. And people are writing better parts for middle-aged women now.' Pauline should know — she's had some of the best. Two years ago she had a breakthrough when she took over from Julia

McKenzie in Alan Ayckbourn's W oman in Mind, a bitterly black comedy about a housewife who's pushed over the edge of sanity. Then, a year ago, she was in the West End again, this time in Willy Russell's one-woman play, Shirley V alentine, about a wife who breaks free to make a life of her own. It was such a success that Pauline spent the autumn filming an expanded version for the cinema and has just started a sixmonth run on Broadway. Coincidentally, a new and exciting opportunity came John's way at much the same time. 'Luck,' Pauline say. 'You make your own luck,' John counters. With the mud of Forever Green still thick on his boots, he was driving his Jaguar back to London and the National Theatre, where he was playing a 70-year-old tramp in W ait-

ing for Godot. 'If you want to be a good actor, you have to attempt some of the great parts. It was a very good feeling for us both to get, perhaps, our two best roles at the same time. After all, we're not spring chickens any more... It's going to be a big year.' But he couldn't have guessed just how big it would be. That was in July. In October my phone rang. Pauline Collins had a story to tell. We met on the set of Shirley V alentine, in the East End. She was sitting at a table in her trailer. And the man by her side was not John Alderton but another actor, Tony Rohr — the father of her illegitimate child.

ITV, Tuesday: Count Duekula

At last - Count Duckula, the star of his own ITV series, talks exclusively and with no beaks barred to children'sfavourite BRIAN TRUEMAN in downtown Transylvania

arrived at Kluj — throbbing heart of Transylvania — in a state of high excitement and a 1933, fourcylinder Rasputin. It had been an exciting journey over the Slavic Alps. I'd run over hedgehogs before — but never in an aeroplane. I hadn't raised an eyebrow (mostly because they'd fallen off in the first five minutes) when the air-hostess demonstrated the safety drill by parachuting out of the plane, but I was a touch disturbed by the pilot's cheery cry of 'Wish I was going with you!' It was going to be worth it, though! I had landed the prize of a lifetime: an exclusive, first-time-ever, no-holds-barred interview with television's newest star — Count Duckula, vegetarian vampire duck extraordinaire. I'd phoned him more in hope than in expectation. Then someone reminded me he was in Transylvania, so I called him there instead. He was no pushover. 'Would you even consider giving me an exclusive interview for TVTimes?' 'Would I ever!' he shrieked. 'Wowee, wowee, wow! Ha, ha, ha! It's fame! Fame at last! Hold on a moment. .

he breathed. 'I'll see if I have a quarter hour to spare this year.. .' He had. Now I was on.my way to the encounter. No, I realised, checking my recycled chicken-featherbacked Fowl-O-Fax. I was on my way to 'La Broccoli!' — Transylvania's latest and, the Count assured me, classiest restaurant. The cab driver dropped me outside the establishment. I didn't mind that — it was when they dropped my case on top of me that it hurt. Maybe when he got a cab... I picked myself up, ironed the embossed leather-look pattern from my bald spot and spotted the green, green and green neon lights that flashed 'La Broccoli!' into the pitch blackness of the Transylvanian high noon. The place was an exact replica of Castle Duckula — in fact, for a moment, I thought it was Castle Duckula but, dismissing the notion, I pushed across the drawbridge, under the portcullis, and through where there should have been a door. A sepulchral voice greeted me. 'Are you the lunch?' it queried. It was the Maitre D. 'I'm here for lunch,' I replied. 'That, sir, is more or less what I meant,' came the rejoinder. 'Hey, what's going on?' echoed another, thrillingly familiar tone from inside

the restaurant. 'Is that the guy from TVTimes?' Moments later, I was studying Count Duckula across the table — a glass of broccoli juice in one hand, a note-book in the other and a pen in the other. Well, something like that.. . I supposed the recipient of my gaze to be in his early. .. Or maybe his late. . . 'I guess you're

probably wondering how old I am,' interjected this aristocrat as he casually threw one leg over the other. 'Good grief!' I expostulated, fishing the leg out of my broccoli juice. 'How did you know that?' 'Hee, heel' the Count cackled. 'I'm tepalethic. Tethalepic. Tetrapellic. Ahem! All you pressmen are obsessed with age,' he observed. 'Well, I'll tell

you one thing, I'm nothing like as old as I was when I was m y great-grandfather!' 'Or his father before him. . observed the Maitre D, who had returned to re-set the table the Count had so recently cleared. 'Perzackerly!' quacked my guest,

'Hear that?' he snapped at the head waiter. 'Wheee! Whee-hee-hee!!' 'Wee, hee, hee, indeed, milord,' replied the other. 'Shall I serve lunch, sir?'

'Do, Ig. ..er. .. yes, do.' He leaned across to me in confidence. 'Listen,' he hissed, 'don't eat anything red! Got it?' 'Got it!' 'Good! I won't have a book in the place. . 'A book?' I quizzed. 'Yeah, a book. . . Sometimes they get. . . read!' He burst into laughter and out of his shirt, top-

pling backwards from his chair, sensitive feet waving greenly. 'Another drink?' 'Oh. . , yes,' I agreed. 'Very kind of you,' he replied. 'Another broccoli juice here, M D!' I shifted my pen: 'And what about. . . women?' 'Wow! Yes, indeedy!' he responded. 'Well?' 'So where are they?' panted the be-beaked Count. 'C'mon! C'mon!' 'I mean,' I interjected, 'the women in your life.' 'Women in my life?' he repeated. 'There aren't any women in my. . 'Coo-eee!' called a voice from the near distance, 'Duckyboos!' 'There aren't any women in my life I'd talk to you about! 'Especially that one!' the Count added. 'Come on!' It wasn't easy taking notes in the darkness of the broom cupboard, but I did my best. 'How about Zi-Zi Lamour?' I went on. 'Wow! Yes!' he gabbled. 'The Most Kissable Bill in Hollywood! She really gives me goose-bumps! Turkey-bumps, even — and on a duck that's really something!' He sighed. 'There's a problem?' I delved. 'I just wish I hadn't been born a duck.' 'How's that?' I demanded, puzzled. 'You ever tried shaving a beak?' I was still pondering his reply when, some 14 milliseconds later, the interview ended. There was a high-pitched cry of 'Coming, ready or not!' and the door fell in on us. I had a brief glimpse of a towering, one-armed, white figure. . . then I knew no more. It's a lovely hospital; nice views and they keep the bolts well oiled. And the doctor's very kind. . . only. . . well, I wish he wouldn't keep calling me 'cheeky boy' and feeding me millet... Brian Trueman normally puts the words into the mouth of Nanny, the maid at Castle Duckula.

❑ ITV, Saturday: Dead Man W alking

by Lesley Salisbury in Hollywood A PRISONER sits on Death Row awaiting his execution. A year passes. .. five years. The waiting drives him insane. Because of his insanity he cannot be executed. A criminal psychiatrist is called in. To make him well. To make him sane enough to be killed... Co-producers Lorna Soroko and J D Maria were working on their fictional story when they heard of an inmate on Florida's Death Row who was taken off the list on grounds of insanity. His lawyers cited the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects people against 'cruel and unusual punishment'. 'The logic,' says Lorna, 'is that it's cruel and unusual to execute someone if they don't understand what's happening to them, so the prisoner would have to be cured in order to be killed. This is a whole new area that defence attorneys are beginning to tap into, another way to save people who are on the Row.' Dead Man W alking stars Danny Glover as Alex Marsh, the courtappointed psychiatrist who is at first impartial but later becomes obsessed with his 'dead man' patient, and Ruben Blades as the violent, withdrawn prisoner, Ben. A rough cut was sent to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah, sponsored by Robert Redford's Sundance Institute, and the film had a gala premiere there last month. 'We're really proud of ourselves,' says Lorna, 'but mainly we hope the film will get people thinking — and talking — about the problems America faces in its judicial system and the solutions that are out there. I think what we're trying to show is how ludicrous it is for a system to say, "You can't kill — and to prove it we'll kill you if you do".' It's a fascinating and incongruous experience talking to Lorna about Death Row, electric chairs,

Ben has been sentenced to die for killing four people during an armed robbery eight years ago. The waiting has driven him insane. Alex Marsh is the psychiatrist who must cure him. If he succeeds, Ben will go to the gas chamber. 'Dead Man W alking' is the chilling story of one • • man's journey through the US judicial system

execution by lethal injection, murder, violence, drugs, insanity and the seamy side of life that most television producers see only on television. She's young (32), pretty and sounds like a cheerleader, but at 18 she started out in one of the toughest, seediest, most dangerous jobs around — working as a criminal investigator for the Public Defender's Office in Santa Cruz, Northern California. She became their chief investigator, freelanced for other investigators and then came down to Los Angeles, where the work was dirtier and even more dangerous. It was her job to talk to defendants in jail, and to try to find out what really happened and how best to defend them. She had to persuade prosecution witnesses to talk to her, hoping they'd let slip a vital piece of information to help the case; she ventured into twilight territory, talking to hardened criminals, violent men and women, gang members, drifters and unstable outcasts. 'Yes, it was dangerous at times,' she reflects. 'But I was only really worried a few times. I didn't really like the people I was defending and I hated it when prisoners kept writing to me. I would always get people to talk to me who wouldn't talk to most people because I looked attractive and young and sort of innocent — and they didn't suspect that what they were telling me was going to be used in the way I used it.' It was, she says with hindsight, very exciting. 'You were, to those people, literally the difference between life and death.' But the job was so dangerous that she could never tell her parents the whole truth. It's only now, since she's been working on a possible TV series about a young, pretty investigator working in Los Angeles, that they've heard the full story. Her work as a criminal investigator prepared her for the sordid facts of prison life, but Danny Glover, whose title role in the TV film Mandela (1987) earned him an Emmy nomination, was deeply affected by his meetings continued on page 1111.

❑ ITV, Thursday: This Morning ^ continued from page 9 with unstable prisoners and forensic psychiatrists in the Los Angeles County Jail when he was preparing for the part. Ron Hutchinson, who wrote the screenplay for Dead Man W alking, was equally disturbed after visits to the notorious San Quentin Jail. He spent about four hours talking to a prisoner on Death Row,' says Lorna. He came out and said he felt like burning all his clothes. It really got under his skin.' Dead Man W alking has that effect, too. It was shot in two prisons in Canada, where the authorities are more relaxed; in America, security is tight and violence all too common. Real prisoners were used as extras — We picked the ones we thought looked best,' says Lorna, adding, 'the ones who looked like they could be American prisoners.' One scene still stands out in her mind: two prisoners. one black, one white, walking across the prison yard together, carrying their laundry. 'That would never happen in an American prison; racism is a fact of life.' Lorna, who graduated with honours from Harvard Law School after she left criminal investigation, hopes Dead Man W alking will be a critical success in Britain: 'I spent a year at university in England and went to the Old Bailey about three times a week. I remember having long discussions about the pros and cons of our different legal systems. I think this film will be a bit shocking in a country that doesn't have the death penalty.' Lorna is relieved to be writing about prisons and violence now instead of experiencing them firsthand — as are her parents. 'Part of our legal system is that everyone deserves the best defence possible — even if you know they are guilty,' she explains. 'When you defend a case, you feel bad if you lose — and criminal lawyers lose a lot; the odds are against you. But when you win, you often feel bad because you know you've gotten someone off who maybe shouldn't be back on the streets. You're in a double bind. There's no perfect solution. . . as our film shows.' TVF

W hen 25-year-old Mandy Mather wrote to herfavourite morning TV programme, she had no idea her letter would be taken so seriously. But a month later she was facing the biggest challenge of her life — as K ATIE EK BERG reports

tose4- of tivis441 THE NEW YEAR had just dawned and Mandy Mather was faced with the same old resolution: to lose weight. Only this time, it was for good. But how can she be sure she'll stick to this diet? Easy. Mandy, 25, from Warrington, sat down in January and wrote a letter to ITV's daily magazine programme, This Morning. The letter read: 'I am a

regular watcher of your programme but don't see much about slimming. I'm 15 stone and would love to lose four of them — how about having volunteer slimmers on your programme? Oh, and PS, if you do, don't forget me.' They didn't. And this marks the fourth week of Mandy's 'on air' slim following the diet (below) devised by Chris Steele,

'I never expected them to answer,' chuckles Mandy, 'but I really was desperate. I hate the way I am and don't want to be this size any more.' There's no time limit, but she is hoping to be a lot slimmer by the time of her birthday in May. 'Then I can go on holiday and do something that I've always dreamed about —

'I've always had to buy from catalogues or outsize shops,' she says. 'I'm longing to walk into a shop and know they will have the right size for me.' Mandy began putting on weight when she was a child and started dieting as a teenager. 'I once got down to 11 and a half stone,' she says. 'The problem is keeping the weight off.' Taking a great interest in her progress will be her three-year-old son Oliver. She's now divorced from his father, but explains it was Oliver's dad who helped get her into bad eating habits. 'He'd bring me home treats like burgers and chocolates,' she says.

With so much to do in Scotland, how can we possibly fit it all on to one page? S

tay awhile in Scotland and there's something we guarantee your holiday will be packed with. Surprises. Surprise number one may well be the weather. It's warmer than you think. In Tiree, European sunshine records are regularly broken. And, thanks to the Gulf Stream, palm trees flourish as far north as Inverewe. You'll find a definite

warmth to the welcome too. And there's no better way to discover it than over a quiet dram in a friendly local. Enjoy the company as you toast a Highland sunset with one of over 50 of our single malts. After your Scotch, try the water. We've got plenty. Take a rod and line and tackle some of the world's finest salmon and trout fishing. Or take it easy and cruise beneath the shadows

of Kilchurn Castle on the romantic Loch Awe steamboat.

On the bonnie banks of the famous Loch Lomond you'll begin to discover perhaps our most abundant natural pleasure. The scenery. And though you'll undoubtedly find it stunning, it needn't be breathtaking. The real beauty is that many of our most beautiful views can be reached by car. Out in the open air you'll find bens, glens and spectacular scenery that stretch the legs as well as the imagination. Often your only companion will be the deer, wildcat and Golden Eagle. But culture vultures, fear not. There's the inside story too. After the bens and glens, go view the Renoirs, Rodins and Manets. A mere hint of a lifetime's collecting by Glaswegian philanthropist William Burrell.

Then take your seat for the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet or world famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

All this and we've yet to count over 400 museums and art galleries, nearly 240 gardens, almost 425 golf courses, 800 islands and over 100 Highland Games.

So, for a fuller picture we've put together a full colour brochure pack. It'll explain the Scottish Tourist Board accommodation schemes. (Basically, wherever you see the blue plaque, you can be sure of good facilities and a warm welcome.) Now, the only problem you have is how to fit everything on one page into one holiday.

TV-am News: W orld Heavyweight Boxing Championship Amiable Frank Bruno fights the mighty Mike Tyson (inset) early on Sunday morning for boxing's biggest title — champion of the world. Just before he flew to America, Big Frank spoke to SARAH GRISTW OOD about the fight. and his future. Main picture RODERICK EBDON .

FRANK BRUNO must weigh in as one of Britain's biggest celebrities. The gentle giant of the boxing ring is certainly one of the nicest. He's always been known as the man you could take home to meet your mother; the sort of fellow you'd like your son to emulate. Our meeting took place at the Repton Amateur Boxing Club, in London's East End, which has produced its share of British boxing champions over the years. Frank Bruno used to hang around there as a kid of 14, so we took him back to meet some of today's young boxing hopefuls (pictured below). And as the kids clustered around him begging for a photograph of their hero

— 'and one for me mate, and one for me brother' — Bruno took it all with the patience of a saint. 'It's all part of the business,' he says, philosophically. Does it ever get too much? 'Sometimes it can. But when it does, you just think about the building site,' says Bruno. Building site? That's the place where he might still have been working if boxing hadn't given him a way up and out to a better life. Frank Bruno, you see, is that rare person: a celebrity who is grateful for his status. And after the interview is over he asks me to add something. 'Could you say something about how much I owe to Terry Lawless, continued overpage ^

my manager, without whom it all would never have happened?' Lawless, maker of world champions, found Bruno when he was a 'difficult' boy from a special boarding school. It was Lawless who paid for him to fly to South America for a specialist operation which corrected a rare form of short-sightedness and allowed Bruno to become a

4Y ou've got to plan your life. People get wise after the event. I want to get wise now, professional boxer. At the time, only two surgeons in the world were able to perform the intricate operation. One lived in South America, the other in Russia and Bogota proved easier to reach than Moscow. But if Lawless gave

Bruno to boxing, then Bruno is clearly determined to pass on the torch... 'They're the future,' he says, as the Repton kids cluster round him to pose for a photograph. 'Stick those pigeonchests out! Show your teeth!' Bruno says and anxiously cranes over each of them to make sure they're doing as they're told. It has been a long, hard wait for adult fists to fly in America. The fight has been repeatedly postponed as the dramas of Tyson's life outside the ring unfolded to the accompaniment of lurid headlines. For Bruno it has meant spending frustrating months rehearsing for the biggest night of his life; a performance it seemed might never take place. 'I'm the last person to know what's happening. I read the papers to find out,' he would say, only half joking, after yet another date was called off. In recent weeks, he had moved out of his Essex home to move temporarily to Hampstead, North Lon-

don, where his trainer George Francis- lives and where there were good hills to run on as he completed his gruelling training. But now that the waiting is almost over, the question on everyone's lips is this: can Britain's Mr Nice Guy possibly beat the most ferocious fighter since the days of Rocky Marciano? 'Just occasionally people take your kindness for granted, try to take liberties,' Bruno says. 'But they soon find out there's a different side to me. I don't think you have to be an aggressive animal just to show everyone you're big and brave. 'In the ring, it's a different cup of tea. When you've got to pay your light bills, the price of your car goes up, and the cost of your fancy clothes increases, you feel you're fighting for something. I know what I'm fighting for — I've got two beautiful kids now.' His daughters, Nicola and Rachel, are six and almost two. Yes, he says he'd love a son, 'but I thank God for two happy, healthy little

daughters'. He's been with his girlfriend Laura, a former nursery school teacher, for almost nine years. 'We've been through a lot together,' he says. 'I'd like her to be more involved in my career when I retire. She's been kept in the background a little bit, but

there's a good reason for that. The press can say what they want about me — but keep Laura out of it.' I reckon the boxing does get her nervous but she never lets me see it. She knows how to handle things. She's a real pro,' says Bruno. With a family to take

To bring up a baby alone in the moral climate of a quarter of a century ago and on the paltry income (£8 lOs a week) of a struggling actress seemed like an impossibility, a real injustice to the child. There was only one solution — adoption. Pauline's daughter, Louise, was born in a mother-and-baby home run by nuns. Six weeks was the allotted time before the new mother gave up her child. Handing Louise over to the adoption agency was, says Pauline, 'the most astonishing and awful moment of my life. Literally, it is like having a piece of your heart torn out.'

The Link programme about W ho Cares for the Carers? must have brought great comfort to a government dedicated to cutting all social services. I was appalled that ITV fell into the trap of playing off the carers against the disabled who are cared for, instead of realising that obtaining better conditions for all requires a combined effort. Some disabilities, especially those resulting from old age or certain mental conditions, prevent the sufferers realising that they are both a danger to themselves and others. They are also incapable of making necessary applications to the relevant bodies

for aid in cash and kind. Mrs Hilary J Davies Penrhyndeudraeth Gywnedd

'Link' presenter Sian V asey says: 'I agree there are two halves to the caring equation. W e were pointing out that the media concentrates almost solely on the needs of one half, the carers. But the principle of disabled people controlling their own lives does not apply any less to those people who are not so mentally able. Centres for Independent Living are run and staffed by disabled people to help the disabled to live independently. W e have to look for solutions such as this.

High on soap It's a joy to see ITV's

Take the High Road restored to a lunch-time slot in most ITV regions after years of being marooned in midafternoon — when I missed it while collecting the children from school. I was surprised the programme was criticised so much in the TV Times soap survey. It is the only soap I watch, although I think the term 'soap' is a misnomer because it is of a higher standard, both in script and

acting, than any of the others. I don't know how anyone can call it 'unreal' when it depicts the real problems of a small, isolated rural community, and covers the issues of rural depopulation, lack of employment for the young, shortage of clergy and shrinking church congregations. And it is all done in a low-key, true to life manner. The villagers of Glendarroch come over as a real community. Mrs Diana Sanderson Durham

I've often wondered who watches films on TV in the middle of the night, when most people are fast asleep. Last week, I visited my great-uncle Bill and found out. He is a wonderfully independent old gentleman of 86. When stairs became a problem for him, he had his bed moved downstairs. He told me, with great glee, that he watches TV in the evening until he is tired, then makes a flask of tea and goes to bed. At about 1.00am, he wakes up feeling refreshed, pours himself a cup of tea, opens the biscuit tin and switches on the telly. Then, he goes back to bed at about 5.00am for another few hours' kip.

❑ ITV, Friday: W atching

The stars of 'W atching' head off into the country to show of some good-looking togs, ideal for urban, as well as rural, pursuits. Report by JANET IMPEY . Pictures AIDAN

irdwatching, of the feathered

t variety, has become something

of an obsession for Malcolm —

.., - played by actor Paul Bown — in ,

ITV's comedy W atching, starting its third series this week. Malcolm's girlfriend Brenda (Emma Wray) and her sister Pamela (Liza Tarbuck, daughter of Jimmy are both watchers, too, but find people more interesting. Either way, the promise of fresh country air and sunshine was all it took to persuade them to model some sturdy, fashionable outdoor wear for us. The three are friends off screen, too and, while filming in Manchester for the last series, Liza and Emma were echoing the storyline by sharing a flat. But there the similarity ends. 'I'm not as scatty as Brenda,' says Emma, 'but I enjoy a good giggle.' Paul pretends to look uninterested as the packet of cigarettes is passed to Liza. He's managed to give up recently, and right now he's more interested in his son than smoking. 'Alfie's 13 months old and a lovely baby,' he enthuses. 'The other weekend we were visiting friends in Yorkshire, so I bought a rucksack, popped him inside and strode off to the Dales.' At 6ft 2in, he towers over Emma, who is so petite that she often has trouble finding trousers to fit. 'Leggings are fine, but it's easier to wear skirts,' she says. 'I hate shopping, so I end up buying things from the Granada TV wardrobe mistress and in jumble sales and junk shops.' Liza, meanwhile, is buttoning up her duffle coat against the biting wind that has sprung up. Liza feels most at home in casual clothes: 'I'm always out on Hampstead Heath because I have to exercise my Staffordshire bull terrier. I prefer skirts to trousers and I wear comfortable shoes — flat lace-ups are my ideal.' Suddenly, out of nowhere arrives a lone horseman, curious to know what is going on. Embarrassed, the three models disappear into a nearby hostelry. They've had enough of being watched for one day.

David Quinlan, Monty Smith and Dean Bartram preview the feature films and TV movies on screen this week SATURDAY 25th Housemaster C4, 10.30am-12.15pm That tall, elegant actor Otto Kruger took the occasional break from playing suave scoundrels in Hollywood (C4 viewers may have seen him recently in I A m the Law) movies of the Thirties to play leading roles across the Atlantic in British films. This well-drawn but rather curious mixture of comedy and drama casts him as a caring housemaster at a co-ed public school where crisis is rapidly brought on by the heavy discipline of the head. Adapted from a play by Ian Hay. 1938

By the Light of the Silvery Moon C4, 1.00pm-2.50pm Doris Day back in tomboy mood, in a sequel to the earlier On Moonlight Bay. It looks a bit more dated now than the average Warners/Day musical, but still the small-town atmosphere is nicely built up, and supporting players Leon Ames, Mary Wickes and Rosemary DeCamp, all repeating their assignments from the earlier film, are a pleasure to watch. 1953

Colonel Redl C4, 9.00pm-11.50pm The central portrayal by the charismatic Klaus Maria Brandauer holds together this skilfully made epic from Hungarian director Istvan Szabo about a real-life bisexual career soldier and his fortunes from 1900 to 1914 in support of the Austro-Hungarian empire. An incisive portrayal of the politics of power, the film is also a visual joy. 1984

'TV version' Feature films shown on television are not necessarily in the form originally seen in cinemas. Often several variations are made at the time of production for use according to the intended outlet. In some cases cinema versions may be used, with minor cuts for violence, explicit sex and bad language.

a maximum security prison. Blades is Ben, sentenced to Death Row for the senseless slaughter of four customers in a diner. Danny Glover (Mel Gibson's partner in Lethal W eapon) is the state psychiatrist who must decide whether or not Ben is sane enough to face execution. Hardly grounds for a lasting relationship, but a special bond gradually develops between the patient doctor and his aggressive client. We may never discover the reasons why Ben shot dead four total strangers, but there's little doubt that writer Ron Hutchinson and director Richard Pearce perceive Ben as much of a victim as the corpses. The harsh brutality of prison life is rammed home, relieved only by the amusingly cliched cynicism of lawyer Larry Block. TV M 1988

It Happened One Night C4, 12.55am-2.50am A delightful free-wheeling comedy that took the critics by surprise and subsequently became the first film to win all five major Oscars (film, director, actor, actress, screenplay), a feat rarely repeated since. The cross-country journey of Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, she on the run from an arranged marriage, he on the lookout for a scoop, is still fresh, funny and enchantingly coated with sexual smoulder. A treat. 1934

Marilyn: The Untold Story ITV, 2.00am-4.00am Despite the title, nothing new emerges in this glossy melodrama loosely based on Norman Mailer's biography of poor exploitable Marilyn Monroe. Catherine Hicks pouts and preens fairly unconvincingly as the sad sex symbol while the presence of three directors (including Fifties sci-fi specialist Jack Arnold) indicates some confusion on the set. Still, the imitations of famous people are fun to watch. TV M 1980

The Golden Disc C4, 12midnight-1.25am A microcosm of its time, this was one of numerous low-budget pop musicals turned out by British studios in the Fifties on the crest of the rock 'n' roll and skiffle waves. As usual, a coffee bar is the main setting, there's lots of stilted acting, guest appearances by such as David Jacobs, Dennis Lotis and Nancy Whiskey and the main 'pop' attraction is bequiffed Terry Dene, who used to sing about white sports coats and pink carnations. He later became an evangelist, married four times, and has on numerous occasions been reported to be on the trail of a comeback. As yet, however, it has failed to materialise. 1958

ITV, 1.30am-3.25am The clever premise of this fantasy thriller is that H G Wells builds the time machine of his stories and that Jack the Ripper, being one of Wells's associates, escapes in it to the future. As he hasn't the retainer key, the machine returns (without him) to its Victorian resting-place. Wells, anguished that he has loosed the Ripper on what he has always imagined to be a Utopian future, determines to pursue. Writer-director Nicholas Meyer has constructed an ingenious and highly original thriller on this basic theme,

Julian's trick to looking a treat Julian Clary's 'rumba number' â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the outfit he's wearing left â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is genteel and modest compared with some of the creations he slips on during Trick or Treat (ITV, Saturday). `The one for the final episode in the series has 4ft shoulder pads with people in them,' reveals the 28-year-old entertainer, better known as 'The Joan Collins Fan Club'. It's very glamorous,' he adds. Indeed, glamour is all important to Julian, who spends an hour putting on make-up to invent his public image. `I quite like the idea of completely changing the look of my face, so that when I glance in the mirror it's not me I see.' `

eddy Turner's rich Northern accent makes him a natural

choice for behind TV commercials extolling the freshbaked goodness of Hovis. But in his on-screen appearances he's cornered the market in 'miserable so-and-sos', such as the penny-pinching farmer Bill Whiteley (left) in Emmerdale Farm (ITV. Wednesday and Thursday; Tuesday and Thursday for Anglia and Central regions). Unlike farmer Whiteley — who's always moaning about his grandson — Teddy Turner and his wife, Peggy, are proud of their two grandchildren. 'They're both grown and both courting,' he says, `so we may be great-grandparents yet.' Teddy and Peggy recently celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, an achievement he attributes to 'Peggy's tolerance and patience'. And Peggy's view? 'It's love,' she says.

Sweet success — that's no yolk When Grace Mulligan and her Farmhouse K itchen guest Angela Henderson pre recorded Wednesday's ITV programme (Friday in the TVS region), they had no idea that one recipe's ingredients — raw egg — would soon hit the headlines. 'We've all enjoyed the coffee ice cream recipe for years without any ill effects — except, perhaps, to our waistlines,' says the show's producer, Mary Watts. But for viewers worried about the possibility of salmonella, here's an alternative version, which serves two: 21/2fl oz/75m1 double cream ltbsp instant coffee dissolved in ltsp boiling water dried egg white equivalent to 1 egg white (from good grocers and supermarkets) loz/25g icing sugar ltbsp Tia Maria (optional) Whip the cream until stiff; stir in coffee. Reconstitute dried egg white according to instructions and whisk until stiff. Gradually whisk in the sieved icing sugar, about ltsp at a time. Fold the egg mixture into the coffee cream and add the liqueur. Pour into two ramekin dishes, cover with clear film and freeze. -

Changing expectations

Acting, shrugs Anthony Hopkins (above, in Great Expectations, with young actor Martin Harvey) is no big deal. 'I'm not even sure I know what acting is. I put on the make-up and the clothes, and if they feel right, that's it.' The Welsh performer has clearly 'felt right' on enough occasions to merit An Evening with Anthony Hopkins, Wednesday's St David's Day tribute to his talents (ITV, Wales only). 'I always wanted to be the winner — and it drove me to the brink of ruin,' admits the recovering alcoholic. 'My only wish now is to keep working and not worry about it. I want to sleep well at night.'

The World This Week, a new international

What do you do when you're faced with a camera-shy owl? It was a problem TVTimes photographer Bert Hill had recently when he went to London Zoo to take pictures of Owl TV's Michaela Strachan and her feathered friend (ITV, Thursday). Whatever was done to attract his attention, Owlie simply wouldn't say 'cheese'. Until, that is, the zoo provided a live mouse to dangle over Bert's head. Then, as you can see from the picture here, Owlie became all eyes. And, nature lovers, don't forget about Owl magazine, published monthly by Independent Television Publications, ati1.20.

current affairs series beginning on C4 this Saturday (repeated Sunday), promises to take a completely different look at global news. 'In fact,' says joint presenter Michael Nicholson, 'we'll be viewing the world as if we were standing on Mars.' The object of such an extra-terrestrial vantage point, he adds, is to get away from seeing news purely from a British perspective. `If you dig just a little bit deeper, and look just a little bit harder, the stories are there. And we aim to get them.'

'My funniest moment so far on This Is Y our Life was after the first show, when it was pointed out to my small son Daniel that I was the busker. The following day, he asked someone if they'd seen Daddy as a hampster.' You, the readers of TV Times, voted Cilla Black Favourite Female Personality. 'I don't usually like surprises at all,' she said,

'but this is one surprise I'm really delighted to receive.' Steve Davis won your vote for Favourite Sports Personality, much to his own amazement. 'I've never had a personality,' he announced to an amused audience. And you chose Cliff Richard as your Favourite Singer. 'It's a great feeling to be awarded something like this,' he said. Phillip Schofield, who was top of the teenypops as Favourite Children's Personality, admitted that when he was small his favourite TV characters were Mary, Mungo and Midge and the Woodentops. 'It's amazing how things have changed — and I'm surprised and thrilled to be chosen.' Russ Abbot was your Favourite Male Comedy Performer for the fifth time.

'It's the top award in the industry as far as I'm concerned and a very serious business,' he said. Favourite Female Comedy Performer, Victoria Wood, was unable to attend — but Patricia Routledge accepted the award on her behalf. News of the Editor's Special Award will be flashed around the world. Accepting it from TV Times Editor Richard Barber on behalf of the News at Ten team, Sir Alastair Burnet said: 'We'll be letting them know, wherever they are in the world — in Kabul and Washington, in Paris, Rome and wherever else the news is being made. And we know that, wherever they're working, everyone who brings the news of the world to your screens will be very, very proud.'

MONKS KEPT UIET 4\ &OUT CHOCOLATE FOR A CENTURY WE TOO HAVE OURVOWS OF SILENCE. Back in sixteenth century Europe, chocolate was a luxury known only to Spain's aristocracy. They 'borrowed' the idea, among other things, from the Aztecs. In those days it took the form of a cold, frothy drink, and the task of making it was entrusted wholly to monks. In the interests of quality consistency and, no doubt, cheap labour. No-one else was allowed to make it or, indeed, know the secret of its making. This cloistered confectioning went on for some hundred years before the

word spread. Not until the Victorian era did chocolate reach this isle and go on to become a food rather than a drink. Before long Cadbury's Bournville was born. The recipe has remained a secret ever since. (A dark secret, that is,

not a milk one.) Its made to thesame exacting standards, changing remarkably little over the years. You'll notice how the crisp, clean bite develops into a warm, rich sensation you need to take your time over. During moments such as these you might wonder how often those monks of old were led into temptation.

BROADCASTING COMPLAINTS COMMISSION After Nine: Complaint from Mr D Marsh Smith on behalf of Lin Pac Plastics International Ltd, Borden (UK) Ltd and Filmco International SUMMARY OF ADJUDICATION The Broadcasting Complaints Commission, which is concerned with fairness and privacy, has upheld a complaint about references to PVC cling film in the edition of A fter Nine broadcast on TV-am on 13 September last year. The commission agrees with three manufacturers of PVC cling film who complained that the remark PVC cling film 'can contaminate your food and possibly be cancerous' was inaccurate and unfair. The Commission also agrees that the reference in the programme to acid rain pollution from burning waste cling film was unjustified; cling film plays only a minor part in the production of acid rain. The Commission finds that it was unfair to draw specific attention to PVC cling film in this context without making any qualification. Copies of the full adjudication may be obtained by writing to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, PO Box 333, London SW1W OBQ, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope.

A Fixed Rate Loan until 1992.

It's on the Level. With a loan from Lloyds Bowmaker, you'll know exactly what your monthly repayments will be, right up until 1st January 1992 - because we've fixed our interest rate at just 19.9% APR until then. And of course, a fixed interest rate means fixed monthly repayments. Even lower rates are available for loans of £15,500 and above. So you'll know exactly where you stand, regardless of what might happen to interest rates. Of course, you should only borrow what you can comfortably afford to repay. We certainly won't encourage you to borrow more than that. That's the sort of responsible attitude you can expect when you deal with Lloyds Bowmaker, a subsidiary of Lloyds Bank. You can borrow any amount from £5,000 to £30,000 or more secured by a mortgage on your property. And you can take from 5-15 years to repay. You can use the money for any reasonable purpose. It's entirely up to you. Buy something special or improve your home with a new kitchen, double glazing or extension.

T ,

Or of course you could re-organise your finances by paying off existing commitments such as storecard bills and other loan agreements. By spreading your repayments over a longer period, your monthly payments are likely to be reduced, so you could even be left with some welcome extra cash at the end of each month. And remember, your monthly repayment is guaranteed not to increase before 1st January 1992. With a Lloyds Bowmaker Loan FREE life insurance cover is normally included at no extra cost: You'll have no reason to worry about hidden charges either, because with us there are no TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF REPAYMENTS AT 19.9% APR FIXED UNTIL 1st JANUARY 1992 - VARIABLE THEREAFTER Amount of Loan £

Remember when you dreamed of starting your own business? It all seemed so exciting, just the thought of it got the adrenalin flowing.

Who could you turn to for practical help and moral support? At Lloyds Bank we've helped thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs to realise their dreams. With financial help, naturally, but just as importantly with advice on how to plan your business so that it's on a sound footing from day one. We've covered the essential things you'll need to know in our new Business Starter Pack. It includes advice on assessing the viability of your idea and help in preparing a business plan. There's also a tape featuring first-hand accounts of what it's like to be your own boss and some of the pitfalls to avoid. It's yours for the asking at any branch of Lloyds Bank.

BROADCASTING COMPLAINTS COMMISSION Where There's Life: Complaint from Mr T Harbron SUMMARY OF ADJUDICATION The Broadcasting Complaints Commission, which is concerned with fairness and privacy, has considered a complaint from Mr T Harbron about an edition of Yorkshire Television's programme W here There's Life broadcast on 8 June last year. The programme was about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME, a disease officially accepted as genuine but whose nature and cause are controversial. Mr Harbron, himself an ME sufferer, complained that the programme was inaccurate and unfair in putting forward the view that ME was not a genuine organic illness and that sufferers were malingerers. The Commission does not find that, overall, the programme was unfair; it emphasised that people with ME symptoms were definitely ill. But the Commission considers that more time should have been found for the expression of views about the nature of ME as represented by the patient organisations and that more sympathy could have been shown towards ME sufferers. The Commission considers that some of the presenter's questions and comments were insensitive and would have been perceived to be so by ME sufferers. Copies of the full adjudication may be obtained by writing to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, PO Box 333, London SW1W OBQ, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope.

erched precariously on a three-legged stool, Ronn Lucas gazes with pride at the motley collection of characters that have gathered around him for a rare 'family' portrait. Hidden from the camera's eye under a heavy black cloth, his wife Mary struggles to correctly position the unwieldy body of a fluorescent green dragon. 'I can't imagine Paul Daniels' wife, Debbie, being asked to do this,' mutters Mary, dabbing at the beads of perspiration which have built up on her forehead. `No, she suffered much worse than this,' says Ronn. `She had to lie in boxes and be cut in half.' Ronn and Mary have been married less than a year, but already they have built up a solid partnership which has blossomed into a successful career. Pretty, blonde and softlyspoken, Mary opts to stay out of the spotlight while her husband thrives on appearing before an audience. The amicable banter continues until, session over, with the 'family' safely packed away in heavy foam-lined trunks, the man described by The New Y ork Times as 'the world's best ventriloquist' takes a break for lunch. Even before he could pronounce the word ventriloquist, Ronn enjoyed making his childhood friends laugh. By the time he was 10 he could speak without moving his lips. And Ronn can see the value in his lifelong talent. `I'm not going to change the world or cure cancer, but there is an element of art in making people ease up and relax,' he says. Four years ago, American chat-show king Johnny Carson predicted 'stardom for this talented young man'. Now 34-year-old Ronn is hosting ITV's new entertainment series, The Hippodrome Show. `It's a big break for me,' says Ronn. 'I guess I've just been very lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I could have been just a guest on the show but instead I'm the host.' Two years ago, Ronn appeared as a guest on Paul Daniels' Christmas show, while last year he was on Jim Davidson's W ednesday at 8 and Des O'Connor's chatshow. He therefore knows how important it is to put ,

nervous performers at ease. Ronn grew up in Texas where big and beefy macho men strive for success. A boy playing with dolls and, even worse, talking to them as if they were real, could have been a problem. But luckily not for Roan. `Working with puppets helped me make friends quickly. I did it very deliberately because I always wanted to be the class clown,' he explains. 'I didn't come from an entertainment background. My father was a civil servant and my mother a vocational nurse. They're just as confused as I am about why I wanted to become an entertainer! 'As a kid I loved playing practical jokes on everyone, but sometimes I went too far. I learned the hard way that practical jokes aren't always that funny. `I had all kinds of hobbies as a kid but ventriloquism was the only one that got out of hand! But believe it or not my younger brother Steve and I were fairly well-disciplined most of the time. We weren't ruffians but I was

i'W hoever heard of a wife who sits at home with my dolls because she's lonely. . ?,

my alter ego — he says all the things I'd love to say and most of the time he gets away with it. `He's a stereotypical cowboy from Texas. I'm the only one who treats him like a puppet; everyone else treats him like he's real. 'I'm just the babysitter for some of my dummies, but I do my best to take care of them. When I pick one up, it immediately drops into character and we start to talk. Sure I talk to them. Anyone can solve a problem by talking to themselves.' `He's very protective of them,' says Mary, who until this point in the interview has been content to listen quietly. But Ronn has obviously hit upon a subject close to her heart. 'God help me if I decide to move any of them and I forget to tell Ronn! Sometimes though, if I'm feeling lonely, I'll take them out of their trunks and sit them on the couch.' Ronn has performed in front of sell-out audiences and royalty. The highlight of his career was meeting the Queen after 1987's Royal Variety Performance. 'It was the biggest thrill I'd ever had and boy, was I nervous. The trouble was that I was trying so hard to adhere to protocol. But even though I was nervous, I made the Queen laugh and it felt great. Afterwards she said some very nice things which I'll always treasure. 'It was the same kind of feeling as when we performed in front of the Reagans, three years ago in Washington. I took the opportunity to pick on them just a little bit. I took Billy out of the trunk and his jaw dropped when he spotted them in the audience. "Do you know who that is?" said Billy. "It's the leader of the free world," I replied. "Yeah," said Billy, "and she's brought her husband!" `I'll always remember the Reagans rocking backwards and forwards with laughter. After the show, they both came up to me and they said how much they'd enjoyed the joke. `I've been very lucky in the United States,' says Ronn Lucas 'because I'm wellknown, but I can still remain unrecognised in public places. If I walked into a restaurant no one would take any notice of me until I pulled out a puppet. It's kinda nice because I have the ability to go anywhere I choose and that's the showbusiness career I want.' lVf -

very precocious.' It was hardly surprising that relatives were taken aback by Ronn's unusual behaviour. `There was always friction with my parents which wasn't resolved until I became a success. They became concerned when I turned down a music scholarship at the University of Texas. They said: "OK, isn't it about time you put down your dolls and started working in a real job?" `When I was 19 I left school for one term to go on the road. I guess I'm lucky, I haven't stopped working since.' Ronn's best-known dummy is a cute, freckle-faced cowboy called Buffalo Billy, who comes complete with sprouting ginger hair and a smooth line in chat. Ronn says they have been the best of friends for the past 10 years. 'Billy is

tat a treat. Mike Smith is munching his way back to good health after his horrifying helicopter accident last year. JILL COX learns a few culinary treats from the 'Trick or Treat' host us

MIKE SMITH loves cooking as a rule, but it's had to take a back seat in recent months. 'There's an old saying that in a previous life you were the exact opposite of how you are now. If this is true, I must have lived through a famine,' he says. 'Sarah [Mike's fiancée, TV presenter Sarah Greene] and I share the catering. And we are not averse to the odd trick — my cheesy croissants using packet puff pastry take no time at all. 'We make dishes we have first eaten abroad — to recreate the taste and the memory. I will never forget the Nasi Goreng [a spicy rice and fish dish topped with omelette] I ate in Bali. 'Pasta is a favourite, too. Tagliatelle with prawns, and I mean the very big ones, is fantastic. While the pasta is cooking, simply peel the prawns and "butterfly" them — cut down the back and open out — then gently fry a couple of cloves of chopped garlic in oil until golden. Stir in the prawns and cook for 3 minutes. Serve over the tagliatelle, which soaks up the

glorious garlicky, buttery juice. We first tasted this in the Caribbean.' Mike is slim and fit, but he does confess to a complete weakness for puds such as crème brfilèe and moist chocolate cakes, and both he and Sarah enjoy a glass of wine, too. 'One of my favourites is Hardy's Fume Blanc, a delicious dry white. On the day of the crash we were taking a bottle to some friends. Amazingly, it survived the crash, and weeks later we met up with them and drank it together. Definitely a treat!' 1111r

Have you ever eaten Spaghetti Bolognaise in Italy and then tried to recreate it back home? Somehow, it never tastes the same. It's easy to see why. Italians have a passion for food that's only surpassed by their passion for fast.cars. So how can you, as a non-Italian, compete? With our authentic mix for Spaghetti Bolognaise, you don't need to. In the packet there's all you need to make a classic Bolognaise sauce. Well, almost everything.

UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY OF CLASSIC SPAGHETTI BOLOGNAISE.

You'll have to find your own minced beef, onion and tomato puree. But we don't think that's asking too much. Even for someone who's not Italian.

Miriam Stoppard, 247 Tottenham Court Road, London W 1P OAU High anxiety I am a 29 year old male and am in a state of great anxiety about my health. I cannot seem to stop worrying about my heart. I get palpitations, and missed heartbeats. My doctor puts it down to stress, but I am convinced my heart will just stop beating shortly. Should I press my doctor for more tests? I am sure others feel as I do, and I would value independent advice as I feel I cannot go on worrying like this for much longer. Brian Marston Glasgow

I agree with your doctor. If you don't smoke, are not overweight, take regular exercise and you have no family history of heart disease, you are unlikely to be in a high risk group, so do try to stop fretting. Y ou could spend your whole life in a stew to no point. In fact your cardiac neurosis could be the one factor that precipitates a real heart problem. If a full cardiac examination will ease your mind, ask your GP to arrange it for you and send you to hospital for an ECG and blood tests. Palpitations and missed heartbeats occur in almost everyone who becomes obsessed with themselves and are symptoms of stress. I think you will have to try not to refer all your problems to your doctor. W hy not write off for some reassuring leaflets from the British Heart Foundation, 102 Gloucester Place, London W 1H 4DH.

Topic of the Week Caring for someone who is elderly and ill is not easy. When my granny needed looking after she came to stay with us. At first she was little trouble, but as her health got worse, her moods were so difficult I felt like strangling her. I told no one but it got so bad I wished she would die. When she did, a year later, I felt no grief. Five months later, it hit me and I began punishing myself, thinking that I was to blame because of my evil thoughts. I am sure I am not the only teenager who has felt guilty about the way they felt about someone who then dies. So when caring for someone sick and old confide in a teacher, parent, friend or priest. They explained that I felt so hostile because I didn't understand she was ill. Now I remember her for the kind person I knew. Sally Armagh, N Ireland

Thanks for being so honest. I think many people, if they were as brave as you, would confess to similar feelings. W e're not saints and old people can be very cantankerous, and some find it hard not to behave as if the world revolves around them. My mum's old adage was 'a trouble shared is a trouble halved, and it really lifts your burden if you share your feelings. Anyone who needs advice can phone or write to the Carers National Association, 29 Chilworth Mews, London W 2 3RG. Or there's a new book called 'Caring For The Sick, published by Dorling K indersley. Price £5.95, it is easy to follow and is a good reference book. have 18 titles including 'The Heart: Technical Terms Explained' (No 11); 'Reducing The Risk Of A Heart A ttack' (No 14); 'Diet and Y our Heart' (No 7) and 'Palpitations' (No 15). Send a stamped addressed envelope for leaflets and a full list.

Tip of the Week Mrs D Leake, of Bromley, Kent, wins £5 for her tip for busy cooks: To remove the smell of onions from hands after peeling, rub in dry salt before washing in the usual way with soap and water.

(Tips on postcards only, please.)

Good Samaritan I have a very kindhearted daughter who is causing me a lot of worry. She will insist on picking up strangers when in her car and offering them a lift. I have begged her not to do this, and live in fear till she gets home. She says, 'Oh, I'll be all right, Mum,' but I dread the day she isn't. Worried Mother Newark-On-Trent, Notts / side with you. It is

dangerous to offer lifts these days, and though I often want to stop for tired hitch-hikers, I resist these instincts as it is now too risky. If your daughter insists on continuing, then she should be armed with some kind of

emergency siren in her car or she should keep one of those highpitched screamers on the dashboard. She should also learn the rudiments of selfdefence. Please show her this correspondence as it might show her how worried you really are.

Delicate matter Can you please help me get rid of some small genital warts? I have had them for two years, but they are increasing and I absolutely hate them. I am far too embarrassed to go to my young doctor. Would a wart remover do any good? Anne-Marie Canterbury, Kent

No. Patent wart cures are not only unsuitable, they could burn the tender genital area. I'm afraid you can't afford to be too embarrassed to go to your own doctor because genital warts can only be treated by a specialist and your own GP must arrange the appointment for you. I should take action soon because the longer they're left, the harder they are to treat. A lso they may be connected to cervical cancer, so you should have a smear too. I've treated many cases in my time: therapy is painless but it may have to continue over several months to achieve a cure. So recognise how important this is and visit your doctor as soon as you can.

Clingy sister We were pretty astonished when my 45-year-old mother became pregnant five years ago. The baby was unplanned and my father out of work at the time. But as soon as she arrived we were all delighted. So what is my problem? I am 18 and my little sister wants to go wherever I go, except when I go to work. I have no privacy

as she even climbs into my bed in the night. She is intensely jealous, and a holiday with mates is in the balance. I love my kid-sister, but this obsession is going to drive me away from home, which I really don't want to happen. Steve Newcastle-upon-Tyne

It is going to be hard to break your little sister of her addiction to you, but the longer you leave it the more painful it will be for her. Step one is to accept the holiday with your mates. Make that your deadline, and be sure you have completed the break' by then or the little girl will suffer. Step two: at five, she is old enough to be reasoned with, so give her a present of a lovely doll. Tell her, as she is so grown up, she must sleep with dolly so she is not lonely, and not get into your bed. Step three: get all your family to give her extra affection and distractions. Step four: tell her if she does as you ask, every Saturday you'll give her a big treat — just the two of you. Lastly, tell her about your holiday, and say you will make sure there is a family holiday later to make up for it.

Aids worry When I was in hospital I was worried about infections that may be caught in lavatories, like Aids. Can you reassure me, please? DAP Billericay, Essex

In theory, you could pick up any infection that was on the last user's fingers, thus narrowing down the germs to those that survive on skin. This rules out A ids, as it cannot be caught in this way. Infections can be kept to a minimum by always washing your hands after the loo. This important habit should always be encouraged in children.

Quick Query Q Can you tell me how

to go about volunteering as a bone marrow donor? A Either ask your own

family doctor or visit your largest local hospital and ask for an address. A nother possibility is to write to the A nthony Nolan Research Centre, c/o The Royal Free Hospital, Pond Street, London NW 3 2QG where so much work on bone marrow research has been pioneered. However, don't expect to hear from them for 5 to 6 weeks.

Right to Reply I thought I must write to tell the mother whose daughter was frightened of dogs about my 10-year-old son. He would walk to school the longest way rather than pass a dog, and we dared not visit any friends who had one. Last July my husband bought a cross between a Labrador and pointer. As an eight-week-old puppy, my son literally shook with fear when he was first given him to hold. Now, at six months, Duke is like one of the family and when I see my son wrestle and play with him, I am so glad we got him. So I agree with your advice to get a dog if your child is nervous. A Sturley Milford Haven, Pembroke
