junkin and the cryptic factor John Junkin (above) provided an unscheduled conundrum when he took part in this week's Cross W its (Tuesday. ITV; except Tyne Tees, Monday). He was so quick with the answers that the first half of the show lasted seven minutes instead of 12. 'We frantically fed the computer with extra crosswords,' says producer Christine Williams. On the trip from London to Newcastle, where the programme is recorded, Junkin limbered up by completing The Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian puzzles.

'We have no electronics, no computers, no flashing lights,' he says of the gameshow which tests participants' mental agility. There aren't even any big prizes. The secret is that it's just a people's game. And people enjoy trying to outwit each other.'

It could be your move When people get caught up in the merry-go-round of moving house, there to help (or hinder) are the removal men. In The Chain (Thursday, C4), a wry comedy about Londoners on the move, employees of Last Removals join in the adventures of those leaving hearth and home. In the picture, Billie Whitelaw is put on her mettle by a quartet of removal men — (left to right) Warren Mitchell, Bernard Hill, Gary Waldhorn and Tony Westrope — who are waiting to get their money for moving her to Holland Park in West London. Incidentally, listen out for the voice of ITV's Blockbusters host Bob Holness as the breakfast radio announcer.

Goodbye to obscurity All MacGraw (left), recently seen in the American soap Dynasty and in ITV's The W inds of War, achieved overnight stardom in her first major acting role. She played a rich bitch in the 1969 film Goodbye, Columbus (Sunday, C4), costarring with Richard Benjamin. As she had no drama training, her first scene with dialogue was a 15-take trauma, she recalls. 'I could feel my face and body freeze as each take got more and more terrible,' she says. All I could think of was the time I was wasting.'

Healy's not a full-blown brickie Tim Healy (left), who plays Barney Bodger the builder in Tickle on the Turn (Monday, repeated Tuesday, ITV). was also seen as brickie Dennis in ITV's A uf W iedersehen, Pet. Has all this building site experience made him a dab hand at DIY? 'I can fit a plug and change a fuse,' says Healy, 'but I wouldn't like to turn my hand to anything too technical.' His next role takes him out of building and into intrigue, in a forthcoming TV' series called A Perfect Spy.

Dr Ruth's advice to the stars She's 56 years old, less than Oft 8in tall and has a German-Jewish accent. An unlikely candidate for instant stardom, but Dr Ruth Westheimer (pictured above between singer Sergio Frankie and actress Jane Seymour, who appear in her show) attracts huge audiences in America. She dispenses sexual and emotional advice on television through phone-ins, dramatised therapy sessions and celebrity interviews. Now, A sk Dr Ruth comes to Britain (Wednesday, C4).

Safari so good for film-makers

Aunt Lily's other self Aunt Lily, who's always talked about with trepidation in Cannon and Ball (Saturday. ITV), comes to stay with the boys this week. The visiting fusspot is played by Hilda Braid (right, with Lennie), best remembered from the series Citizen Smith. For the role of Lily, Hilda wears dowdy clothes, no make-up and has her hair greyed. This doesn't do much for her selfconfidence. she admits. 'I prefer to see myself looking glamorous,' Hilda confesses with a laugh, 'instead of feeling like the back end of a bus.'

Filming nature programmes such as City Safari (Sunday, most ITV regions, Saturday, TSW) calls for specialist skills, patience, and split-second timing to catch the event. In our picture, researcher Mike Birkhead (far left) and producer Gavin Weightman coax a star turn from a squirrel. It's near-impossible to record vision and sound simultaneously, so noises are added later by specialist sound recordists who have their own jargon. Matching birdsong, for example, is known as 'beak sync'.

Katherine went on to film Time Bandits (1984) and Shadey (1985), plus the TV series W ho's the Boss? (seen in some ITV regions).

There can't be many programmes which regularly feature a non-human guest star. One exception is A moebas to Zebras (Wednesday, most ITV regions, Thursday, TSW). This week the natural history quiz show welcomes Gretel and Hermann, a colourful pair of macaws. Members of the parrot family, macaws are friendly, talkative birds with gaudy plumage. They come from Central and South America, but often can be found on the shoulders of actors playing Long John Silver in Treasure Island. They do not lay eggs the size of the one Bill Oddie (right) is showing quiz host Nigel Rees. That is an exact replica of an elephant bird egg. This was a bird, resembling a giant ostrich, which became extinct 600 700 years ago. -

An Invisible Enemy, ITV

When the 1Ni Lle jdngle pictures by J Donoso/Sygma apland. The name conjures up images of snow, Father Christmas and reindeer. Especially reindeer. Nearly a million of these hardy creatures continue to support the life and culture of the Lapps, among whose numbers are the last nomads in Europe, as they have done for the past thousand years. Now all that is under threat, as Tuesday's ITV documentary A n Invisible Enemy explains. When the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded in Russia last April, a huge radiation cloud dispersed into the atmosphere. In that area of the Arctic Circle known as Lapland. 1200 miles to the north, 70,000 Lapps were going about their business. Heavy rain brought the deadly radioactivity to earth, poisoning the spongy lichens, which were then eaten by the herds of reindeer. The scale of this ecological disaster was only discovered in September, when the deer were slaughtered during the autumn round-up. Their meat was found to be so polluted by radiation that it was unfit for human consumption. So now the very way of life — and health — of the Lapps who live on reindeer meat is in jeopardy.

Ornate necklaces and belts adorning embroidered and braided dresses, worn with tasselled shawls, create the colourful impact of the traditional costumes worn by Lapp women. These clothes are not just kept for `best', to show off on special occasions, but are worn all the year round. They are an accurate reflection of the cheerful character of the Laplanders, whose long contact with nature has led them to develop a patient, courageous personality, helping them to survive in the harsh conditions of the A rctic Circle.

Left: the grisly aftermath of Chernobyl. Contaminated reindeer carcasses lie inside a special pen. The animals were killed last September in one of the thrice-yearly millings... but the first in which high doses of radioactivity were detected, rendering the beasts' meat unfit for human consumption. The Laplanders usually slaughter about 35 per cent of their herds at each round-up. Since the discovery of contamination, they have been urged by the authorities to kill up to 80 per cent. W atch 'An Invisible Enemy' (Tuesday, ITV).

A Laplander with a plastic lasso, ready to catch a reindeer by its feet. This method is used when the animals are to be branded, castrated or killed. W omen help capture reindeer as well, and the animals are marked, by skilful use of a knife, with special signs to identify their owners. Children are taught this animal husbandry at a young age. After slaughtering the deer, the careful Laplanders use every bit of the creature.

The summer residence of a reindeer-owning couple: a tepee made of timber struts supporting reindeer skirts. But most of today's Laplanders live in houses. About one in 10 actually raises reindeer.

T he verdict unanimous: L.R. Law, the racy, realistic new series about a high-rise M*11= group of Los Angeles lawyers — a pushy, unprincipled, manipulating bunch with a couple of idealists thrown in for dramatic justice — is an open-and-shut success. The combination of sex, greed, rape, murder, divorce, multi-million-dollar settlements and bedroom romps has already made L. A . Law a hit in America. American viewers and critics say the programme, starting on ITV with a feature-length episode on Tuesday and followed by the first of the series on Thursday, is the best US drama since the early days of Hill Street Blues Which is good news, in a revenge-is-sweet kind of way, for writer-producer Steven Bochco, who co-created Hill Street Blues, felt passionately about it, left because of 'creative differences', and went on to create L.A . Law. Reviews such as 'there should be a law requiring more series like L.A . Lain and 'easily the best of the season' have snapped him out of his anxieties, and he's even starting to enjoy the poisonous phone calls from hopping-mad lawyers, furious at the money-grabbing image he's giving them every week. Then there are the otherphone calls — from lawyers who want a piece of the L.A. Law action, who want to write, act, be technical advisers, who'll work for free and pay their own way to LA.. . Ask anyone — especially an American — about lawyers and they'll have a horror story to tell. Terry Louise Fisher has heard and witnessed most of them. Now, she's writing about them for L.A . Law.

producer, co-creator and writer. 'We're showing the pimples,' she says. 'Lawyers don't like to have the pimples show. In this show, lawyers aren't the heroes — the Perry Masons we're accustomed to seeing on television. The clients are often guilty and the lawyers sometimes get them off. This show is about what the practice of law does to people.' What the law did for Terry Louise Fisher was convince her to pack a gun. She still does. She was attacked once, outside court by a 17-year-old defendant, but didn't hang around long enough for it to happen again. `After two-and-a-half years, I'd had enough,' she says. 'I was in total despair. The American criminal law system doesn't work. It works in England — justice there is sure, swift and certain. You can go from trial to appeal in three or four months. Here, our system can drag out cases for 12 years. 'Law is not like what you see on television. I knew lawyers who gave ambulance drivers 50 dollars for every case they could get, and I knew other guys who would take their fees in cocaine. And I knew other guys who took their stuff in stolen goods.. . 'Very often, I became convinced that criminal law was invented so that lawyers would have games to play. I do think lawyers do something good once in a while. But, interestingly enough, those are the hardest cases for us to find and write about. 'I intend to answer most of those lawyer letters where they pick the show apart, writing, "Dear so and so, thank you for your letter. If I were a good lawyer, rd probably still be practising. Since I'm not, I have to tough it out here, making probably 10 times more than you are, you ignorant slob." Something kind like that. .

themselves

by Lesley Salisbury in Hollywood hese are the characters who are a law unto themselves in ITV's high-powered new series L.A. Law. Sleazy divorce lawyer Arnie Becker (Corbin Bernsen) will bed any woman who moves — including the wife of a client he's representing in a divorce case. Amoral Arnie has already made lean, blond Bernsen something of a sex symbol in America. Another heart-throb is Michael Kuzak (Harry Hamlin), the Mr Clean of the McKenzie, Bracicnan, Chaney and Kuzak partnership. Sensitive, even for an attorney, unsmiling, a man of scruples, he has to defend a white druggie punk accused of rape. Then, later in the series, he gets to smile a lot, fall in love, break his heart — and dress up as a gorilla to snatch the woman he loves from the arms of another man. Then there are Stuart Markowitz and Ann Kelsey (played by real-life husband and wife Michael Tucker and Jill Eikenberry), who indulge in a bizarre on-off relationship. Abby Perkins (Michele Greene) is a young attorney whose estranged husband, an unemployed alcoholic, steals their son. Victor Sifuentes (Jimmy Smits) is a self-righteous, dogood, Latin lawyer; Leland McKenzie (Richard Dysart) is the all-powerful senior partner; and Douglas Bradman Jr (Alan Rachins) is son of one of the founders and a 'man whom avarice has rendered bald and beady-eyed'. Deputy District Attorney Grace Van Owen (Susan Dey) spurns Michael Kuzak, only later to fall for his gorilla charms. Roxanne Melman (Susan Ruttan) is the secretary whose only dream is to fall into Arnie's arms.

STAR of Murder She W rote, Angela Lansbury is plotting to kill off her main competition in America — Bill Cosby. His show regularly tops the ratings — hers is placed fourth. 'Nothing personal, but I'd like to knock him right off the box,' she says. She's bringing in friends such as Robert Wagner and Elizabeth Taylor to guest star on her show, and two teenaged sleuths will move in to attract younger viewers. No such problem for Lisa Bonet (below), who plays Cosby's daughter Denise.

Shell have a built-in audience keen to watch her spin-off series, centred on her college adventures. WHAT WILL be best on the box in 1987? A new poll highlights L.A . Law ('so good it should be declared illegal') and St Elsewhere ('pulses with life'). L.A. Law starts this week in Britain on ITV. IT'S UP TO American viewers to decide Robert Stack's future in Falcon Crest. The Untouchables star will play a billionaire who romances Angie (Jane Wyman) but antagonises everyone else so much that they start to plot murder. If US viewers like the bad billionaire, he'll be allowed to 'live'. IRONIC situation for Scarecrow and Mrs King star Bruce Boxleitner: after four years of dilly-dallying, he's romancing co-star Kate Jackson on screen. His real-life marriage to actress Kathryn Holcomb, his co-star in TV s How the W est W as W on, is breaking up.

wo of Hollywood's most enduring legends were created simultaneously 170 years ago in a villa on the banks of Lake Geneva, as viewers to this Sundays The South Bank Show, on ITV, will learn. Confined indoors by torrential rain at the Villa Diodati, were Percy Bysshe Shelley, his wife-to-be, Mary, nearly 19, Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori, physician and amateur writer. We will each write a ghost story,' suggested Byron. And the unexpected winner of this ghoulish game was Mary, who imagined Frankenstein. Polidori wrote a fragment that was expanded and published anonymously a few years later as The Vampyre, an influence on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. The immortality of these terrifying tales is mainly due to their transmigration from book into movie into myth. Although Frankenstein had been the subject of a Thomas Edison one-reeler in 1910, and Dracula had inspired the great 1922 German silent film Nosferatu, the most powerful and indelible images of the gruesome twosome on the collective consciousness were those of Universal Studios' cycle of horror films in the Thirties. Depression-hit audiences not only escaped into an endless string of musicals, but achieved catharsis for their anxieties by living through nightmares on screen. However, the Hollywood versions of the 19th-century originals took such liberties with the stories that they must have sent their respective authors spinning in their crypts. Mary Shelley — she was to marry Shelley the following December — clearly put something of her husband, who had experimented with electricity. into the scientist who creates the monster. The man-made creature, a misunderstood outsider like Byron, is described by Victor Frankenstein thus: 'His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. His hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing, his teeth of pearly

whiteness.' He also becomes educated to the point of reading Milton and Goethe. A far cry from the hideous, monosyllabic monster as conceived in the 1931 movie. Make-up artist Jack Pierce's transformation of Boris Karloff (born William Henry Pratt in Dulwich, London) was so special that Universal copyrighted it. Pierce made Karloff 18in taller, 651b heavier, and had his legs painfully stiffened by steel struts. He gave Karloff long dangling arms, a square head, concave brow, heavy eyelids and scars, with bolts jutting from each side of the neck. Yet Karloff portrayed a vulnerable, anguished colossus, who was repulsive and destructive at the same time. The

scene in which he and a little girl float flowers on a pond, before he kills her, is genuinely moving. In the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Karloff induces pity when taking refuge in the cottage of a blind hermit who is unaware of his guest's distorted figure. The she-monster, played by Elsa Lanchester in a punk hair-do, screams when confronted by the he-monster for whom she was created. No wonder he blows the laboratory to

pieces in his frustration! Not so much sympathy or compassion was elicited for the dark, pallid, lupine Bela Lugosi in the 1931 Dracula. His piercing eyes and heavy, deliberate Hungarian accent — 'I-amDracu-la' were his first words — sent a chill down the spine. Nevertheless, the strong sexual undertones of this bloodthirsty, necrophiliac saga gained Lugosi a female following as great as any romantic screen idol. Sadly, he became

Somehow the characters survived these mockeries, thanks largely to their resurrection by Hammer Films in Britain in the late Fifties and Sixties. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee managed to freeze the blood very effectively in their interpretations of Baron Frankenstein, the Monster and Count Dracula in profitable chillers, shot in gory colour, that gave a more violent slant to the tales, with stakes being driven through hearts. In the same period, TV audiences chuckled at The Munsters, in which Fred Gwynne, in the famous Karloff make-up, is the personification of gentleness. And Roman Polanski's 1967 film, The

Fearless Vampire Killers, includes a gay and a Jewish vampire. When the latter (Alfie Bass) is faced with a crucifix, he exclaims, 'Boy, have you got the wrong vampire!' Just as one felt the world needed another Frankenstein or Dracula like a hole in the neck, along came a maelstrom of monsters in the Seventies. The civil rights movement led to Blacula (1972) and Blackenstein (1974), pop artist Andy Warhol produced his own quirky 3D versions, and Love at First Bite (1979) had handsome George Hamilton, complete with Lugosi accent, as the ladykilling aristocratic vampire biting into the Big Apple.

Welcome Faces I enjoyed ITV's New Faces of 86 very much. The winner, Duggie Small, was excellent, but I would like to see the runners-up again. Was the grand final of the series the last well see of these extremely talented artists? W Jane Petersfield, Hampshire

Central Television, which made the shows, says that it has no plans to feature the runnersup. It is possible, though, that exposure on 'New Faces of 86' will help promote the careers of those appearing on the programme, so you may not be disappointed for very long.

Happiness is... With the television news media not having many happy events to report these days, one wonders why TV producers, especially of soaps, have to kill off their main characters. Emmerdale Farm has lost Pat Sugden, now Diane Hunter is shortly to suffer the same fate in Crossroads. Can't she live happily ever after with her Frenchman?

1:21 The Max Headroom Show: Tuesday, C4

Max's ma-m-m a s I expected, Max Headroom, computerised pop video presenter of C4's The Max Headroom Show, on Tuesday, is a bit of a gourmet. He also loves entertaining, the more starstudded the better. For TV Times he has gathered five of his chat show guests around the table and has created a special dish for each one. You will find the recipes on the facing page. Max's feelings about food must be second-hand because he's never had any — hands, that is (copyright Max Headroom: it's his own favourite afterdinner joke). Food is a favourite topic of conversation. 'Who doesn't love eating? But you know, in my business, if your kitchen isn't organised like an officers' mess, you never eat properly. That's why I like to have everything prepared before I go out, so that when I get back, Letitia doesn't have to worry.' (Letitia is his ex-ski chalet caterer who takes care of the cooking.) 'Letitia comes from a very privileged family and she's an expert on cultures — especially the ones that end up growing on most of her meals. 'She has a heart of gold, but you'd think they'd teach them at finishing school to make something more exciting than macaroni cheese. 'I think, perhaps, it comes from having to prepare something heavy that Sloane Rangers can throw at each other on ski chalet holidays.' Does he enjoy sampling foreign foods — apart from macaroni — on holiday? Max reveals: 'I'm a real glutton for the variety and piquancy of foreign food, which is why Tye been to Greece only once. 'Of course, for the educated palate, France is like a fairy grotto, unlike their restaurant toilets, which are just fairly grotty. In fact, I'm working on a Michelin Guide to French conveniences, because, in the end, it's less important

M-m-mouth-watering fare conjured up by computerised pop presenter Max Headroom for his star guests, right. where you go to buy snails in garlic butter, as where you go afterwards. 'Still, wherever I go, I like to bring back a recipe or two, then accompany the whole thing with ethnic music for atmosphere. Many's the weekend I've had paella bubbling on the Aga, with Placido Domingo roaring Granada in the background. Yes, for a tasty economical dish paella is a winner, although Placido Domingo doesn't come cheap.' I love to eat out, too, and I'm particularly fond of

Korean food at the moment. The meat dishes are cooked at the table, so everything tastes fresh, and their spices and flavourings are rather special. Specialities apart, is he interested in health foods? 'This may sound obvious, but I think everyone should eat for their health. But, as for things like wholemeal pasta and aduki beanburgers, it takes a brave and special kind of person to eat such tasty things — certainly it would be an act of bravery if Letitia tried serving me

anything strange like that!' In an average day in the Headroom life, Max never misses the first meal. 'I'm one of those people who thinks breakfast is the most important meal of the day — and when I settle down for it at about three in the afternoon, I'm also pretty hungry as well. And call me a traditionalist if you like, but for a good, slap-up breakfast, you can't beat Albanian goats' yoghurt and Hungarian wild-flower honey.' He's quite keen on latenight snacking, too. 'Like a

lot of normal guys, I'm a fridge-blitzer, but with taste. Around midnight there's nothing I love more than to put my feet up, watch the late-night snooker and crack open a six-pack of lobster bisque.' Does the good life for Max include any spadework, so to speak? 'Well, of course, anything you can grow yourself always tastes better, and you don't have to queue for it at the supermarket. Actually, on the balcony of my penthouse flat, I've got a 7-13 February 1987 TVTIMES

- star delights window-box with a line of runner beans, artichokes, asparagus and potatoes. They're all in grow-bags, which is a blessing for me but a bit dangerous for the flat underneath. 'But I won't try to grow fruit — it isn't worth it, and it's much more fun to go down the market and squeeze every orange and pear yourself. In fact, the stallholders love it because. by the time everyone's had a go at squeezing all the melons, even the hard ones end up soft and ripe.' And he won't try growing herbs because he's not terribly keen on them. 'But I'm glad to see the English are becoming more adventurous with their pine herb racks, and using those funny little jars that can turn a tin of tomato soup or a stew into a gourmet dish. 'But a word of advice for the girls. All you need is a pinch of any herb, so don't go shaking your tub of coriander over roast lamb or being heavy-handed with the curry powder. The top can easily fly off, and a lovely Sunday lunch can end up tasting like the inside of a Bombay dustbin!' How many is an ideal number to invite to Sunday lunch? I asked Max. 'I have a large Elizabethan refectory table which seats 20,' he says, 'so having a few guests can be like eating in the Whispering Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral. That's why, when I entertained five stars from my TV series, we gathered round the kitchen table and they enjoyed their special dishes together. 'And when it comes to wine, I'm no snob, which is why I think you can buy good French wine from any supermarket. In fact, I spend quite a time in French supermarkets. And, if you ask any of my dinner guests, they'd tell you I never serve the wrong drink with a meal. For example, with a beef bourgignon a fruity claret, with trout meuniere a light Muscadet, and with lobster vindaloo six pints of lager. TVTIMES 7-13 February 1987

A look at your prospects for this week

Aries

Gemini

21 March-20 A pril The pursuit of academic or scientific energy should be your aim this week. But for those of you who are less intellectual but more creative or artistic, then the coming days hold an Aladdin's cave of treasures, just ripe and ready for the picking. Whatever your goal in life, now is the time to go for it.

Leo

22 May-21 June Everything appears to revolve around your professional world these days. But this week, while the opportunity is there. you can sort out your career and so let your ego have its day. Your health should also take up some of your time during a week when a solution is at hand to any of life's complex conundrums.

Libra

24 July-23 A ugust The full moon in your sign is telling you that a chapter in your personal life is about to come to a close, so any important matters relating to your self that need concluding, ought to be completed now. This week is a very sensitive period, as you realise it is time to say 'goodbye' to many familiar scenes and patterns.

Sagittarius

24 Sept-23 Oct All the signs are that this is a beautiful week if you are heavily into making your home lovely to look at and delightful to live in, but make sure you choose hues that will enhance your homestead. You may even buy something that can only be classed as a status symbol — but so long as you enjoy it, who cares?

23 Nov-21 Dec This is a good time for you to deal with bureaucrats or officialdom of any kind this week, as your air of great authority means they will respect your opinion. An older relative, possibly a man, is the bearer of news which will affect you greatly. You can also expect some domestic disruption or upheaval.

Taurus

Cancer

21 A pril-21 May This is a deeply loving week, which allows you to gaze piercingly into your partnerships. You are able to gain insight into the state of your relationships and, as a result, you are able to cure any potential problems which arise. It's a beautiful time for Taureans of an artistic nature, and who have a love of the aesthetic.

Virgo

22 June-23 July The infrastructure of your financial world needs an examination to ensure that any income or monetary areas are in safe hands or at the very least securely stored away. During this important week a number of cash concerns need your undivided attention, so you need to tie up any outstanding monetary matters without delay.

Scorpio

24 A ug-23 Sept You play things very close to your chest this week, not easily revealing your thoughts and feelings; you prefer to play the dark horse. This may be fine in some cases but be careful that you are not putting your creative output or lovelife at risk by being too introspective or unnecessarily secretive about things.

Capricorn

24 Oct-22 Nov You really are on the threshold of a terrific personal transformation, much of which will materialise from your artistic or creative talents, Don't forget that ideas are an expression of your inner self and mentality, so any you have now should be pushed to the forefront: for your own sake, hold nothing back

Pisces

22 Dec-20 Jan It is your image and appearance which will undergo a transfiguration this week, as you feel strong urges to be and look your best. On the money front, there is also a major financial decision to make, and this could mean talking to accountants, bank managers. or other people connected with your money matters.

20 February-20 March If you aren't an ambitious person, then this week is perfect for pursuing a new pastime or joining a club that will bring out your arty aptitudes. If you're a careerist, then a change in direction now may be more fortuitous than you first thought. Don't be afraid to totally unleash your personality. as it presents a big bonus to your prospects.

Aquarius 21 Jan-19 Feb Now is a superbly constructive time to lay some solid foundations for your future. Think carefully about your long-term plans and be thorough when you're chasing the facts. An idea conceived now and brought on with dedication and hard work will eventually be successful, but it may mean a financial strain.

Sometimes you may not want to take a conventional drug to treat the symptoms. New Era J offers another way of coping with wintery ailments. It's made from natural ingredients as a gentle remedy for the symptoms of coughs and colds. The tablets have a pleasant taste, and dissolve quickly in the mouth. And they aren't habitforming. New Era is a natural system of medicine which. over the last 60 years, has been used successfully by thousands of people for welcome relief from the symptoms of common ailments. Next time you get a cough or a cold, why not try New Era J? It could be the remedy you've been looking for — for yourself and your family. Most of the family's mild complaints can safely be treated with the eighteen New Era remedies—from coughs and colds to headaches and backaches.

❑ Me & My Girl: Saturday, ITV [13 The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole: Monday, ITV he idea could have turned into a terrible fiasco; bringing together two teenaged actresses who've never clapped eyes on each other before — in the flesh or on the small screen — and expecting them to find a common cause sounds a recipe for disaster. In fact, getting Gorbachev and Thatcher together for a friendly chat would have been simpler. Joanne Ridley had just started rehearsals for the new series of Me & My Girl (Saturday, ITV), in which she plays Sam, who is Richard O' Sullivan's effervescent teenaged daughter. Lindsey Stagg — Adrian Mole's elusive love, Pandora, in The Growing Pains of A drian Mole (Monday, ITV) — didn't want to take too much precious time off from her Northampton comprehensive. We had just Joanne Ridley (top) about decided to plays Sam, opposite pack our Richard O'Sullivan, sandwiches to in 'Me & My Girl'. make a Saturday Lindsey Stagg is safari to Pandora to the Northampton to Adrian Mole of see her, when Gian Sanunarco. disaster struck. Lindsey announced that she had taken a Saturday job at British Home Stores and, true professional that she is, refused to be prised from behind the counter for any encounter short of one with Princess Diana. But we persevered, finally getting the girls together drinking coffee in Joanne's kitchen in Islington, North London, during an official week off from Me & My Girl. Things are tentative at first: on the face of it, Joanne, small and blonde, continued overpage

Put two young girls together on a day out and the chat would soon turn to make-up, clothes, pop records and magazines, and eating and drinking. Actresses Joanne Ridley and Lindsey Stagg prove to be no exception. The straw hat Lindsey wears (bottom right) was a parting gift from her new friend Joanne. TVTIMES 7-13 February 1987

continued from page 23 mini-skirted and very bright, seems the more assured of the two, but she's been on the stage since she was three and is on home ground, Lindsey, who is taller, in a long, black skirt, to hide — she says — her dreaded legs, fiddles a bit with her long, dark hair, smiles and says she'd love to live in London. Then they discover that Joanne auditioned for Pandora. 'Actually, I didn't see myself as Pandora,'

she says. 'For a start, she's dark. Lindsey's just right.' Things really take off when the 16-year-olds discover they are both fervent vegetarians. 'Oh, I do love my tinned tuna,' sighs Lindsey. 'I haven't made a study of vitamins or anything. I'm surprised I haven't got scurvy or something!' Excitement mounts when Joanne and Lindsey compare star signs — Joanne is Aries and Lindsey Pisces. 'I'm supposed to be the

Scarlett O'Hara type,' says Joanne, laughing uproariously, 'I love that bit in the film where she holds a handful of earth up against the night sky and says, "I'll never be hungry again!" ' 'And I'm supposed to be very dreamy and romantic with a touch of the vamp about me,' splutters Lindsey. They both collapse. Joanne invites Lindsey to see her wardrobe and make-up. It transpires that Joanne had to use a bit of

camouflage for her fulsome figure when, as 11-year-old Sam, she was recording the opening titles for Me & My Girl. 'Had to be bandaged,' she explains briefly. 'Bandaged?' squeals Lindsey. 'You cannot be

serious.' 'Bandaged,' Joanne confirms. 'And then, later, I had to wear one of those starter bras you get in Marks & Spencer. It made me look

defolined!' Not surprisingly, in this winter of black, black and

'I know,' cries Lindsey. 'I feel right in any colour these days as long as it's black.' But the girls, brighteyed and clear-skinned from their healthy diets, look far from funereal and we're overwhelmed with attention when — with the strains of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles' albums still ringing in our ears — we get to a local Indian vegetarian restaurant for lunch. 'Hmm,' says TVTimes photographer Roderick Ebdon, himself the father of two teenagers, 'must remember never to go out again without two lovely girls — can't remember ever getting service like this before.' During lunch, the girls discuss their attitudes to themselves as actresses. 'I hate being noticed offstage,' says Lindsey, 'except, maybe, when some little kid from the first year comes and asks you for your autograph. That's sweet.' Joanne is going to make acting her career — that's all settled — but Lindsey isn't sure. 'I'm in a real dilemma at the moment,' she says over her Kashmiri Falooda — a wonderful milk shake with China grass, rose water and vermicelli. 'My parents want me to go on with acting, but I feel I should have something to fall back on as an insurance.' As parting gifts, Joanne presents Lindsey with a navy straw hat that makes her look like one of the French artist Renoir's young Parisian girls, while Lindsey gives Joanne a copy of the book of The

Lindsey Stagg goes off to catch her train, clutching her current reading, Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford. 'I love everything about the past,' she says, 'as long as it isn't my own. I don't like looking back on my own life — I just want to get on with it.' 'And so say all of us,' chips in Joanne Ridley.

MAKE AT LEAST £395 IN PENNY SHARES OR PAY US NOTHING Yes, you must make at least £395 from the many low priced shares featured in Penny Share Focus or we will refund your subscription in full, in cash, by return of post. There are many investment services that promise you stock market riches. Few of them have enough confidence in their claims to offer a money back guarantee that's where Penny Share Focus is different. Invest equally in any five of the Penny Shares featured in Penny Share Focus over the next six months. And if you aren't £395 (that's ten times the price of your annual subscription) better off by this time next year we will refund your subscription to Penny Share Focus in full, in cash, by return of post That's right we will repay you your 539.50 if we can't show you how to make at least 5395 of Penny Share profits in the next twelve months. There can be no better incentive to make sure we get it right. Why are we so confident about Penny Shares and their ability to double or even more in value?

FANTASTIC GROWTH RECORD Eighteen out of last year's top twenty performing shares were Penny Shares. Here is a selection of the recent winners. from to gain Audiotronic 4p 18p +350% Gilbert !louse 16p 83p +418% Cooper, Frederick 104p +333% 24p Burndene 25p 100p +300% Quest Auto 23p 82p +256% Dwek Group 28p 128p +357% Hobson 10p 45p +350% Paul Michael 13p 50p +284% Peek Holdings 13p 42p +223% Nash Inds. 34p 136p +300% Imagine how much your capital would have increased if you had invested in any of these Penny Share winners. But where do you find them? ... after all, shares do not rise in value just because they are low priced. If you had the time, and the know-how you could isolate the potential winners and then complete a thorough investigation of the company yourself. Now there is an easier route to Penny Share success. Each month the Penny Share Focus team of analysts condense days of research into a four page no nonsense action guide. Its sole aim ... to provide investors like you with opportunities for big capital gains. By carefully monitoring every Penny Share on the market ... by collating masses of financial and company data ... by making painstaking enquiries into the company's management, sometimes even visiting their offices, PENNY SHARE FOCUS helps you to spot the next Penny Share winner and keep you clear of the losers.

WHAT ARE PENNY SHARES? ... and WHY IS THEM RECORD SO GOOD? A Penny Share is quite simply a share that you can buy for mere pennies. The shares are cheap because the City has lost confidence in the company's ability to make profits. It could be because of poor management, adverse trading conditions, or just plain bad luck. But the slump in the price of the shares means something has to he done ... something has to change. In some cases the company may be restructured, new management installed, new products launched, new ideas and techniques introduced. Alternatively, the company's shares may be so cheap that a rival company moves in to take them over. Or a successful private company might buy them out as a cheap way in to the stockmarket. Whatever happens, it's nearly al.vays good news for the investor who was brave enough to buy when the company was down. Remember, these companies are still trading and they often have quite sizeable assets. Apart from the very few that do 'go to the wall' - and they really are surprisingly few - the only way a share price that has fallen to mere pennies can go is up.

❑ Wish You Were Here 1 • Monday, ITV

QUITE a coincidenc0 in A Killing on the Exchange, the new, sixpart Anglia Television series starting on ITV early next month, It portrays the struggle in the City between two young financiers following a murder. Both stars are 33-yearold sons of famous acting fathers. Gavan O'Herlihy is the offspring of Hollywood star Dan O'Herlihy. His arch-enemy in the conflict is played by Tim Woodward, son of Equalizer Edward Woodward.

DAVID Bellamy (above) looks far froni cosy in the parka he wears for his new three-parter, Bellamy on Top of the W orld, to be screened on ITV next week. The series took two paralysingly cold week-long visits to film. The North Pole is threatened by pollution from industrial civilisation, says Bellamy. What used to be one of the most sterile places on earth could soon be one of the dirtiest. TASTE and trend gum Loyd Grossman used to judge the character of the rich and famous by studying their preferences in furniture and other trappings in his Through the Keyhole series on TV-am. Now he will repeat the technique in a major series for Yorkshire TV with David Frost. But he risks nothing himself. Grossman and wife Debbie recently called in builders to remodel their home in Fulham, London. It won't be finished in time for anybody to do a Through the Keyhole exposé on him.

ou would think from the brochures that there was hardly a patch of the Mediterranean which had not been claimed for holidays: not a bay without hotels at the back of it, not a sea view without a battery of balconies overlooking it; not a beach without colonies of pink bodies basking on it. But there is — and this Monday's Wish Y ou W ere Here. . .?, on ITV, has been there. The country is Turkey and, in the words of reporter Chris Kelly, 'now is the time to discover it before everyone else does. But you'll have to be quick.' The word is out. Turkey is turning out to be one of the hottest tickets in the travel agents this year. For a long time only a handful of small, specialised holiday companies ran tours there for the few travellers who were in the know. Now the industry's big boys have turned their attention and their charter flights towards the Turkish coast. One company, which included Turkey in its programme for the first time last year, has already seen six times as many bookings flood in during the winter months. Others have brought out separate brochures devoted exclusively to Turkish holidays. In the area around Antalya in the middle of the south coast.

Turkey, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, offers holidaymakers ancient cities, scenic wonders, almost 8000 kilometres (5000 miles) of coast lined with sandy beaches, as well as the choice of two continents and four seas. Prices are low, but facilities (and plumbing) are not always of the best.

WHAT TO DO Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are especially popular; lively resorts such as Kusadasi, Bodrum and Antalya provide sunshine, beaches and nightlife. July temperatures here soar to 90`F and in April and

Turkey abounds in delightful harbours such as Antalya. 'Get there soon to avoid the rush,' says Chris K elly (below).

Talking Turkey visited by W ish Y ou W ere Here. ..?, they are trebling the numbers of tourist beds in the next three years. What happened along the Spanish coasts in the Fifties and on Portugal's Algarve in the Sixties is happening in the northeast corner of the Mediterranean in the Eighties. This year everybody is talking Turkey. The south coast is rather like the Algarve. Or, rather like the Algarve used to be. There are some good sandy beaches, Set back behind them is a range of high mountains. Between the two is farmland, growing everything from potatoes

October often reach 70°F. Farther north are the beaches of Marmara and the Black Sea, where April and October are a chilly 60°F but July sees a comfortable 82°F. You can explore Istanbul or the bustling port of Izmir. Throughout the country are remains of ancient temples and theatres. Winter sports enthusiasts are looked after at mountain ski centres.

GETTING AROUND You'll need an international driver's licence to hire a car, and for insurance a Green Card endorsed for Turkey. Local buses are a popular form of transport. Ferries travel around the

and wheat to cotton and bananas. And here lies a clue to what makes the holiday in Turkey so distinctive. It is different — not quite Asia, not quite Europe, not even quite 20th century. In those fields it is still the women who do most of the work, and in the villages the alleys are crowded by old houses that lean over like gossiping neighbours. The resorts, like Side, Alanya and Antalya, are still not much more than villages. Away from that area, where the new hotels are beginning to rise in their splints of scaffolding, the roads are often little better than rough tracks — the main reason why so much of the

coast, and there are sightseeing excursions from major towns.

EATING AND DRINKING An average restaurant meal costs around £3.50, including local wine. Try shish kebab or doper kebab, red mullet or swordfish, vegetables stuffed with savoury rice, and sip the anise-flavoured aperitif, raki.

TRAVEL FACTS British nationals need only a valid passport. Sterling currency and travellers' cheques can easily be converted, but keep your exchange slips; you may be asked to show them when you leave.

coast is still so unspoiled. 'The coast is lovely,' says Chris Kelly. 'It is long and totally uncrowded. I'd guess you've got about another three or four years during which you can have a holiday without there being too many other people about.' Turkey also has some of the Mediterranean's finest archaeological sites, many of them still not fully excavated. 'In some ways they are even more exciting than the sites that have been uncovered,' says Chris. 'At Side, for instance, there are extensive Roman remains. But there are also these great grass mounds which haven't yet been dug into.' Peter Hughes

SHOPPING Look for locally-crafted carpets and rugs, silver and bead jewellery, items of suede and leather, bargain-price embroidery, beaten copper or an exotic hubble-bubble pipe.

HOW TO GET THERE In addition to specialist tour companies, major firms including Global, Intasun, Horizon and Wings feature Turkey in their 1987 brochures. Prices start at below £200 for one week.

14•1404 S clam Quinlan prevrews the films and Kevin Wilson the TV movies on screen this week FRIDAY 6 FEBRUARY Kiss of Death C4, 10.30pm-12.20am Victor Mature, revealing himself a more sensitive actor than many suspected, gave one of his best performances in this brisk thriller as a petty thief turned stoolpigeon. Even so, the acting honours went straight to Richard Widmark. Making his film debut as a psychopathic killer and cackling hysterically as he tips one of his victims in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs, Widmark earned himself an Academy Award nomination in best supporting actor category — his only Oscar nod to date. 1947

SATURDAY Demobbed C4, 3.20przz-5.05pm Comedies made by the infamous Mancunian Film Unit were certainly an acquired taste in the Forties and early Fifties and have now acquired cult status. Where most minor comedies got their funny business over in 65 to 70 minutes, the Mancunians, which featured popular northcountry comedians, and were masterminded by producer/director/studio boss John E Blakeley, often ran close to the two-hours mark, cramming variety acts and vaudeville routines into a ramshackle plot framework. George Formby started with Mancunian, Later attractions included Frank Randle, Harry Korris, Sandy Powell and Jewel and Warriss. Here

'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.

it's three for the price of one, with Norman Evans, Nat Jackley and Dan Young doing their stuff in between playing factory workers suspected of theft, in a 'plot' that makes room for all sorts of show business personalities, from singers Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth to the legendary Felix Mendelssohn and His Hawaiian Serenaders. 1944

Omen III — The Final Conflict ITV, 10.45pm-12.40am The final part of The Omen trilogy runs a bit like a Macnee-Rigg episode of The A vengers, but its predictability is redeemed in part by the charismatic performance of Sam Neill, the New Zealand-born actor, as Damien the Antichrist. Poor old Damien is getting like Dracula, with his stake, and the werewolf, with his silver bullets, as he can now be killed by one of seven ornate daggers, the significance of which escaped me. Apparently, producers are still considering a fourth Omen project. 1981

The Wall C4, 11.15pm-1.25am This film carries the Special Discretion Required warning symbol to indicate that the content might offend some viewers. It's a prison film from Turkish director Yilmaz Guney that makes Midnight Express look like Porridge. It's based on true events at a jail for young offenders and has movingly real portrayals from some of those involved. A strong and deeply-felt indictment of a horrendous system, it proved to be Guney's last film before his untimely death in 1984. 1983

MONDAY We're No Angels ITV, 1.30pm-3.25pm

A really exquisite comedy which gives Humphrey Bogart a rare chance to lean to the lighter side, as one of three French convicts on the run from Devil's Island, who choose to sort out the problems of some friends in their own way. Most of the screenplay's gems go to Peter Ustinov, as a rolypoly convict who pretends to be straitlaced but covets secret memories of the fleshpots of Marseilles. There's also a pearl of a performance from Basil Rathbone as the ruthless cousin of the nice family with whom the jailbirds are hiding. 1954

Chesney Allen were still finding their film feet when they made this sporadically funny farce about two crooks who bury stolen jewels, but find on their release from jail 10 years later that a megastore has been built over the spot. A similar situation was used 30 years later by the 'Carry On' production team for a Sidney James romp called The Big Job. Here the stars' thunder is somewhat stolen by Alastair Sim (in one of his first film appearances) and plump-cheeked C Denier Warren as two scurrilous gentlemen called Cutte and 1935 Shuffle.

A bridge that's gone too far? A LETTER from PM of London El reminded me about some of the film uses io which London's Tower Bridge has been put over the years. PM should know, as he is the son of a Beefeater, and used his 8mm camera to film many stars who appeared in location sequences; on one occasion he even got a smile from Brigitte Bardot, and had a chat with Shelley Winters during the making of A ble (1966). He wonders whatever happened to the 1959 film shot almost entirely within the bridge area. It was called The Boy and the Bridge, and concerned a young lad who hid in the ramparts of Tower Bridge because he thought he had committed a murder. The answer is that the rights reverted long ago to the original distributor who made no attempt to sell it to television and seems to have gone to ground somewhere in the West Indies. We have our detectives on his trail! Tower Bridge is probably the most photographed bridge in the world, though film shots of it are often used to establish the fact that the scene is set in London. The bridge always figured, for instance, as part of the trademark of Two Cities Films. Once it was used when it should not have been, in the 1944 film The Lodger, which was made in Hollywood. There at the end was Jack the Ripper's body floating past Tower Bridge,

which was not opened until 1894 — a decade after the year in which the story was set! The Tower of London itself has turned up in hundreds of films, but it has usually been represented by sets, a.,s in Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955). Hollywood was particularly fond of it in the days when location filming in London was unthinkable: George Zucco as Moriarty plotted to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower in The A dventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939), and five years later Charles Boyer had his eye on them in Gaslight. More recently, a London businessman organised a gang to steal them in Traitor's Gate (1965).

The magical new Silver Solution actually plates with pure silver £12.95(P

An exciting new British invention is making headlines. It's a solution that will actually silverplate worn silverware, as well as cleaning and polishing it. The Silver Solution is the product of sixteen years of research and development. It contains pure silver and works by a new patented process known as molecular plating. The Silver Solution has already been hailed as a major technological breakthrough in silver-plating and silver care, but the trade is only now coming to terms with the broader implications of its use. If owners can restore and "A dds a layer of pure silver to the replate worn items of silver-plate at home, second-hand surface of most items, is easy to values may rise. There may also be less call for apply and is non-toxic". expensive electro-plating. And as The Silver Solution will silver-plate many hard base metals such as Copper, Daily Mail Brass, Bronze and Nickel, there could even be a boom "W e've tried it and it works". market in home-made silver jewellery and ornaments. The Silver Solution is not yet generally available in retail Sunday Times shops, but is available from Innovations by mail-order. "I achieved excellent results on some worn pieces I had virtually laid to rest". The Silver Solution is completely non-toxic and odourT.V. nines free (so you can safely use it on cutlery). Simply wipe on with a soft dry cloth. There is a darkening effect for a "A V ictorian silver basket was moment as the molecular change takes place. Wipe with 're-plated' in seconds." The Times the cloth again to re-discover the lustrous beauty of silver. The entire process takes no more than a few seconds, and as you are actually silver-plating with each application, you can build up the thickness of the silver by repeating the process.

"One of the most relevant and innovative developments since silver-plating itself was invented".

How good is the finish? The silver-plating is permanent and will not chip, flake or peel. Continue using it and your silver-plate will last forever. The finish is also less prone to tarnishing. Controlled tests in a sulphurous atmosphere have shown that tarnishing of articles polished with The Silver Solution is significantly retarded, by comparison with other polishes. The Silver Solution can be used to refurbish sterling silver as well as plate,and is particularly effective on fire marks and solder-joints. Unlike electroplating, it does not destroy the patina— the delicate network of fine silver lines — that is so important to the beauty and value of the piece as an antique. Most conventional polishes are abrasive, they remove the very silver you are trying to protect. The Silver Solution cannot harm your silverware, it adds back silver and preserves the value of your collection.

It's almost alchemy You can silver-plate a range of household items from copper pots and trays to brass door knobs. You can silver-plate personal items such as brooches, bangles and belt buckles. You can silver-plate precious objects of every kind provided that they are made of copper, brass, bronze, nickel or a similar hard metal. The Silver Solution will not work with stainless steel and softer metals such as lead or pewter, and although it will silver-plate dented and broken items, it will not, of course, mend them. These should be taken to a silversmith.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

Saturday Live, C4 â?&#x2018; Up Line: Wednesday, C4

Diverse retorts Ben Elton and A lexei Sayle have built successful careers on the crest of new-wave comedy. This week, they bring their alternative brand of humour back to the screen - Elton hosts 'Saturday Live, Sayle stars in the comedy drama 'Up Line'. here is a definite feeling that, unless you are young and unshockable, alternative comedians are to be avoided like the flu. After all, aren't they all rude, rough, foul-mouthed and rather hooligan? Ben Elton (below), certainly the most prolific and successful comedy writer to emerge in recent years, believes the term itself is confusing. 'The word "alternative" never had any real truth behind it,' he explains. 'The only thing that genuinely linked us was a genuine desire not to be racist or sexist. But, in that context, Eric Morecambe was an alternative comic. He was one of my greatest heroes, and neither Morecambe nor Tommy Cooper needed to belittle races or sexes to get a laugh.' Londoner Elton, 27, comes from a close, scholarly family. His father is a professor, his mother a teacher and he has two older brothers in the computer industry. Elton was always a talented writer and, while studying drama at Manchester University, he met Rik Maya11 and Adrian Edmondson. Out of that professional and personal relationship emerged the TV series The Y oung Ones and the core of talent including Lenny Henry, French and Saunders and Rowan Atkinson, which created C4's Saturday Live. When Elton walks out on stage and announces: 'Ello, my name's Ben Elton!' the audience know they will be treated to a painfully funny monologue, delivered at machine-gun speed ('so the hecklers don't get a chance to 03 interrupt') on anything from politics to assorted bodily functions. 'Speaking very bluntly, in a comedic way' is how

Elton describes it but, he claims, he certainly never set out to shock and, far from being smutty and suggestive, his comedy is a great deal more moral and honest than many traditional humorists. 'When we first did Saturday Live, there was a lawyer around the whole time. Fair enough, but I can imagine no more puerile ambition than simply trying to shock someone. I consider myself a moralist. I'm easily offended. I turned on a Sunday evening variety show and there was a comedian saying, "We got the Falklands back. We'll get Leeds and Bradford back next." 'What do two million citizens make of that? To hear on television that they're not really British? I don't think most people find that funny. I would censor racist and sexist jokes. People say to me that I shouldn't do gags about toilets. I actually think that there is considerably less to fear from a joke about a ..commonly embarrassing experience than there is, say, from Benny Hill at the end of his show. tearing off a woman's dress and chasing her round the grass in her underwear, when we know that a woman in Britain cannot walk safely in a park.' Elton delivers his strong opinions in an extremely reasonable fashion. He's a considerate conversationalist, charming, animated and very, very bright. He lives alone in a spacious, terraced house in North London. The back bedroom is a satisfying clutter of books, papers, photographs and his computer, on which he is writing the third

series of the TV comedy series Blackadder. Says Elton: 'I don't live extravagantly. I bought my house when the first Y oung Ones book was a hit. I just like a good living. I think everyone's entitled to that, plus a decent video recorder. 'People tend to look at me and form an instant opinion. They think they know my politics and they think I'm aggressive, which I'm not. But my mother has made me aware that I can be misunderstood. Because I respect her judgment and intellect and I believe that she has misunderstood certain jokes, I have become more conscious of the need for careful writing. After all, the most important thing to me is to be funny - that's what I love most, to make people laugh.' Jan Etherington

s the slow-witted Melvin Combes, making his first appearance in C4's Up Line on Wednesday, Alexei Sayle gets to wear a daft wig and play the fool. Sayle (above) thinks acting is great fun, and can't dnderstand why actors complain about it: a piece of cake, he says. You get free dinners, a cab home, wear fancy clothes and play with guns and stuff and you go to foreign countries and stay in posh hotels. I think actors must invent the angst. I don't see any mental stress in it.' What Sayle does not like are the ways and means of building a showbusiness career. He won't audition ('being clever in an office in Soho is nothing to do with acting,' he says) and he won't go out on the town to see or be seen. 'I think most people's careers are built on their socialising, rather than their talents. Certainly, for a lot of people I know, it's the quality of their cocaine, rather than their ability, that helps them get on. I'm not into all that, so I suppose I miss a lot of opportunities. 'If you're seen in trendy

Mellow side of Sayle continued from page 36 West End establishments all the time, producers remember you. If they never see you, they think you're dead.' Sayle does not think he would be very adept at playing these games: 'I would just be horribly rude. If I depended on acting, I'd still make a decent living, but I would have a lot of spare time to learn the banjo.' Over cups of coffee and a sausage sandwich in an unfashionable London café, he displays a wicked sense of humour and a fairly uncompromising set of attitudes. in keeping with his earlier guise as an uncompromising hero of the new-wave of comedians who sprang from London's The Comedy Store in the late Seventies. Among the future television stars of The Comic Strip Presents. . . and The Y oung Ones, Sayle was certainly the bulkiest and probably the stroppiest. 'I hated the audiences,' he says. 'It was unpleasant for all of us.' When he first went to Soho's The Comedy Store as compere he had been working in a double-act with actor Bill Monks. 'As soon as I got the compere job I stabbed him in the back' (A joke.) 'He was more of an actor, and when I asked him if he wanted to come to The Comedy Store he said he didn't fancy it, so that was that. He's all right; he was on TV in Brass for a while and Mr Pye, with Derek Jacobi.' Sayle has not performed as comedian for 18 months, and suspects he is losing some of the rage that helped him 'really smack it to the audience'. He has lost the desperate edge he had as a new comic, and he doesn't want to go on doing the same old act. His wife Linda - 'we've been married for 700 years - told Sayle he ought to be harder. sharper and nastier on stage. `But I just don't feel like that any more.' Cone are the days when his act would end with a fight. The cause of this new, mellow Sayle? 'Well. I suppose it comes from being happy... Hell, I'm beginning to sound like a Hare Krishna: Between bouts of film making last year, including a big screen version of

ITVs W hoops, A pocalypse!, Sayle wrote newspaper and magazine columns. He has had something published in the New Statesman, and was asked to speak about the inner-city at a Royal Institute of British Architects' conference. 'It makes me laugh, because if people think about me at all, they think of me as a cross between Sid Vicious and Bernard Manning. If I go on a television chat show it will be pre-recorded because they think I'm gonna shout [here, he shouts a four-letter word] in the middle of it. It's stupid.' To be sure, Sayle does not look like the sort of chap you would invite to a drinks party in Chelsea. Shaven-headed and casually, not to say, sloppily dressed, he looks unavoidably menacing. Straight off the terraces. As a stand-up comic, he came on like a skinhead, and the image seems to have stuck 'I like it because no one posh ever became a skinhead. It's too ugly, too solidly working-class. 'If you're in the entertainment business you have to strike a balance between ambitions and achievements and your personal sanity. It can drive you crazy, the humiliation and the loss of contact with what you really are. 'I think, probably, all the people from The Comedy Store have gone down that path in one way or another. You either go crazy, or become very bland. 'At least if you don't work, you don't get like that.' Sayle is now in his mid-30s. Maybe he has lost the sense of vitality' that he felt at the beginning of his comic days. But there remains a wealth of talent that will never be part of the mainstream of showbusiness. 'The important thing,' he says. 'is to find what you are good at - and do it. I think I'm one of the best comics in the world. All right, I never do it, but if I did, I would be br'lliant. As long as you can negotiate the obstacles, it's a very good life. I became a professional comedian when I was 28. Before that I was a filing clerk and a dish washer. It gives you a sense of perspective.'

A LITTLE BIGGER O\ COMFORT The most luxurious Fiesta has all the engineering integrity and the combination of performance and efficiency that characterises every model in the range. But climb inside the Ghia and there's a world of difference. Thick carpeting extends a welcome to driver and passenger alike. The seats are trimmed in crushed velour. There's a four speaker radio/ cassette sound system fitted as standard. And a screened glass sunroof and tinted windows create the balance of light and shade. If all this sounds a little over the top, perhaps you should sample for yourself the comforts of the Fiesta Ghia, or any model from the Fiesta range. You'll be quietly impressed. And that's an understatement.

SU PER SAVING G RANNY FLYING Daredevil Granny `Biggles' Barnes was flying high yesterday thanks to her National Savings Investment Account. Speaking from Beachy Head, she said: "I've always wanted to go hang gliding and the extra interest I get from their Investment Account has helped me buy a glider of my own'

Out IT ALL STARTED when 'Biggles, 61, stopped paying income tax. "I moved my savings out of the Building Society where they'd been for donkeys' years, because they were taking tax off my interest:

In "AND I MOVED them in to National Savings because their Investment Account doesn't take any tax off,' said granny 'Biggles:

I was over the moon!" Asked if it was easy, `Biggles' said: "Yes, but not as easy as opening an Investment Account. You just go to your post office and fill in an application form, or you can fill in the coupon in the paper. Simple:'

Soaring AS SHE SOARED off again she told us about the interest rate. "It's high',' she shouted down to us. "In fact at the moment it's 11.75% a year! Bet you wish you'd stopped paying income tax'.'

ThrilledNATIONAL "WHEN I REALISED how much more I was getting I came straight up here and had a hang gliding lesson that very day.

the OBAS bed gives correct support for each partner, helping to bring them relaxation and relief from pain.

a sagging bed or a hard bed can aggravate back pain.

Z.,74 40' Years of experience tell us that standard beds may not be right for every human body. If they provide excellent support for someone of heavy build they're most unlikely to suit anyone lighter. And vice versa. Either way, at least one partner may well experience aches and pains.

What's the answer? A bed from the Orthopaedic Bedding Advisory Service. A double bed with two entirely different types of springing to suit the needs of each partner exactly; to ease them gently into the right positions to keep the spine relaxed and flexible; to help lift the pressure off bones, muscles, tendons, nerve endings and joints.

Who are OBAS? We are the Orthopaedic Bedding Advisory Service. Our surgical orthopaedic tech-

nician and our professionally qualified consultants have been responsible for the design of thousands of OBAS (single and double) beds to specifications dictated by weight, shape and medical history of each of our customers. This has included doctors' diagnosis, where known.

We are the experts All our beds are made by craftsmen and are in appearance just like top quality 'standard' beds — but only in appearance. And we do not charge the earth — in fact no more than a good quality single or double 'standard' bed. Because our beds come straight from our factory we are able to cut out the middlemen's profit and keep our prices down. If you have a back problem, if your partner is heavier than you or if you suffer from back pain — contact OBAS now.

Foolish dreams My problem is on my mind all the time. I have been happily married for seven years, have three children under the age of four and have never had sex or gone out with anyone else other than my husband. Every two weeks, we go to a most enjoyable local dance, and recently a friend of ours has asked my husband if he can have a slow dance with me. During this number, he used to ask me to have sex with him, but I just laughed and refused. Now he has taken to calling at our house when my husband is at work, and says he won't stop until I say yes. I confess I sometimes dream of being unfaithful with other men, but I am well aware this is all I can do. How can I put this man off without my husband finding out, as they have been friends for years? Mrs 0 J Dyfed I am afraid that you are inviting trouble. Y ou may be tempted subconsciously to start a fire but, if you do, remember it could be very hard to extinguish. I do feel that to put your marriage in any kind of jeopardy by encouraging this man, or even indulging in any kind of brief fling, is absolute madness, especially in today's sexual climate. So tell him straight that, unless he stops calling, you will tell your husband. A nd, as there are different ways of saying the same thing, you must really mean it for him to get the message.

Danger phones?

Jealous of foster children I am 16 years old and trying to sort myself out. I belong to a secure family of four, with parents whose 24-year-old marriage has been entirely devoted to children — and not just us. They fostered and cared for more than 50 from every type of home. I did not find it out of the ordinary at the time, but now I realise how much I resented them. I was not short of the necessities, but I never had the extras my friends had. Most of all, I longed for a holiday alone with my mother and father, and still do. I admire them so much and, would you believe, I want to be a social worker! I often wonder how other children in this situation cope with their feelings. Alison K Warwickshire

How marvellous to analyse and understand yourself so well, and how very normal to feel jealous. I am sending you £10 for my Letter of The W eek. I am sad that you could not have told your parents of your trauma. They perhaps did not realise that their own family would need extra loving and reassurance. For anyone thinking of fostering, 'Room For One More, by Beth Miller, is a funny and touching account. Published by John Murray in conjunction with the National Foster Care A ssociation, it costs £4.95.

Teaching aids I have a lively threeyear-old who really seems ready to read. I'm reluctant to start to teach him more than the simple things lest it muddles him when he begins school. Can you suggest any books as a guideline? Mrs Jane Johnson Ironbridge Shropshire It's natural for three-

Last word As a biologist, I really must correct you on perpetuating the old plants-in-bedrooms myth. I am a teacher and find it difficult enough as it is to overcome old wives' tales without my pupils pointing out: 'Katie says it, so it must be right!' Quite simply, during daylight hours green plants produce a surplus of oxygen, which we breathe. During the night the plants use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, as we do, but the respiratory rate of a plant is absolutely minute compared with that of a warm-blooded human. Following your logic, it must be thoroughly unhealthy to sleep with your husband/ wife. And I am surprised that when I sleep in a school dormitory I don't die of asphyxia! In short. plants in the bedroom do no damage at all. Keith Leech Hastings West Sussex

Battery safety I have had a firm rap on the wrist from Duracell Batteries Ltd after suggesting an old family tip about reviving batteries in my Christmas Checklist. Please do NOT tamper with batteries, either by putting them in hot water or by freezing them. At best they will go flat even faster — at worst they could explode. There's always £10 for the Letter of The Week. Katie regrets that she is unable to enter into individual correspondence.

Published by 0 Independent Television Publications Ltd 1987

I have just returned from a large general hospital after eight days' surgical nursing care. Everything was done to avoid infection, including scrubbing up, plastic gloves, masks, etc, yet one area was completely disregarded — the public telephone in every corridor. These were constantly used by patients, inhaling each other's germs through the mouthpiece. Think of the germs that must lurk in these instruments in all large institutions, stations and shops. How about British Telecom making improvements in this direction? Mrs S M Haughton South London British Telecom has carried out an investigation within the past two years, following a television programme which highlighted this problem. It was concluded that there is no more risk of catching a disease from a phone mouthpiece than in opening a door by the same handle that others use. British Telecom is responsible for 76,000 pay phones in public streets; a hospital, business or store rents its instruments and is responsible for their cleanliness and upkeep.
