Alan K ennaugh's news and gossip about the worlds ofITV and Channel Four
Putting on the agony afternoon ITV series, Miracles Take Longer, starts its run of 36 episodes this week. The series is set around a council-funded advice centre, with stories that will range from baby battering to breast cancer problems. The people who dole out the advice are not without their problems, too. One counsellor is Paula Sheardon A TWICE-WEEKLY
(Polly Hemingway) — a liberated woman and a committed socialist, whose husband is an alcoholic. Polly — who in real life is married to actor Roy Marsden, and recently starred on ITV in the story of Gracie Fields— says Paula is complex. 'She can listen sympathetically to people and give advice. Yet her life is in a mess, and the strain is beginning to show.' Polly feels sure that some people will find the series helpful. 'At the very least,' she concludes, 'it will be compulsive viewing.'
New sporting field for Charon DOWN-TO-EARTH Jack Charlton, until recently more often associated with soccer as player and manager, takes to field sports. His new series, Jack's Game, starts on Channel Four on Sunday. 'Two to three million people take part in field sports in this country,' Charlton says, 'and they are not all toffs. For every mounted major in pink, there are 10 others who follow foxhounds on foot or run after beagles or mink hounds. For every titled landowner shooting driven pheasants at £500 per day, there are 10 working lads out ferreting.' Charlton will introduce 10 programmes in the series. Jack's Game starts with stag stalking.
Susan W ooldridge is hardly recognisable as dowdy Daphne Manners.
the difference! is the same girl. Behind the specs, brogues, and scraped-down hair she wears as Daphne Manners in The Jewel in the Crown lies the very attractive Susan Wooldridge. 'For an actress,' she says, 'it's a release not having to worry about looks. Daphne is a plain girl — unadorned rather than ugly. So I played her without any make-up, and with an unbecoming hairstyle, clear spectacles
YES, IT REALLY
and lumpy frocks. On location one day, I had an enormous spot on my chin, and we thought it was fantastic for the part. The only worry was that it might clear up before the scenes were completed.' You have plenty of time to see Susan this week. The first three hours of Jewel are repeated on Channel Four this Sunday, and there's a new episode on ITV on Tuesday.

SECOND TIME around, The Prisoner ends on Channel
Waiting for a song ACTOR SAM KELLY, Who
plays Granville Hinchclifle in ITV's series Foxy Lady, starting on Wednesday, has a second string to his bow. He often takes time off from regular acting to team up with three other actors and become a barber-shop quartet
called The Gay Blades. Says Kelly: 'We work in various restaurants, pretending to be waiters, then we suddenly burst into song. One day I let the side down. I forgot my apron and had to do my act in a borrowed tablecloth.'

iane Keen as Daisy Jackson, vivacious editor of The Ramsden Reminder in Foxy Lady — a new series starts on ITV this Wednesday — holds sway over four reporters and a printing staff of two. As editor of TVTimes — we offered her the job for a day — she found herself with a rather bigger staff. We have 80 full-time journalists: editorial executives, sub-editors, artists, writers and photographers, supported by many other specialists in advertising, circulation and administration. 'We do things on a slightly smaller scale, of course, on the Reminder, but the principle is much the same,' says Diane, trying editor Anthony Peagam's chair for comfort and size. Before she met some of the people who work here — astrologer Russell Grant accurately deduced she is a Leo and columnist Katie Boyle showed her some of the 1000 letters she gets from readers each week — we had her reeling with statistics.

Five-O. And Kfor Keen. Diane's bulging file tells how she has gone from playing a reporter's wife in The Cuckoo W altz to a reporter's editor in Foxy Lady. Along the way she has starred in The Feathered Serpent and The Shillingbury Tales, having begun to establish herself 10 years ago in Crossroads. It catalogues details of her private life: she has a daughter, Melissa, aged 17, and was married for the second time in 1982, her first marriage ending in divorce in 1978. Russell Grant managed to catch her off balance when he identified herasa Leo — 'her hair is like a little mane' — but what she found really unsettling was coming face-to-face with pictures of herself taken 20 years ago when she made her television debut in Three Go Round. Diane, who lived in Kenya until she returned to England in her teens, had been chosen out of 2000 hopefuls to be the new girl reporter on Three
Go Round. One of the first items she covered was a fashion show on a boat in the Solent. During her day with TV Times, 20 years later, she was able to discuss clothes with one-time fashion model Shope Shodeinde, who now plays a model in the Channel Four comedy series No Problem! 'This is good,' said Diane Keen, picking out an eye-catching outfit in black and yellow. 'Just right for Ramsden.'

Bi g Brother controlled the 'proles', the crushed working class, in the novel 'Nineteen Eighty-four', by George Orwell (inset). W ho will control the 'hoots' in the Britain of the future? A nd will we find much comfort in life after 1984?
Orwell's passionate fight for our freedom W illis Hall, author of this week's Channel Four drama-documentary, and an expert on George Orwell, wonders how Orwellian our future will be s George Orwell took himself off to the lonely Hebridean Isle of Jura in 1948, hunched his already ailing body over his typewriter and inserted a blank sheet of paper into the machine to begin work on his proposed novel, Nineteen Eightyfour, he could have had little idea of the significance that the title would come to assume. Had the author plumped for his original choice of title, The Last Man in Europe, then the Orwell boom into which we have been snowballed by the arrival of 1984, would never have taken place. In no way, though, did Orwell intend his novel as a sort of Wellsian work of prediction about the 'shape of things to come'. The novel was conceived out of its author's passionate regard for individual freedom. Orwell's lifelong love for socialism was coupled with his near-obsessive hatred for totalitarianism in any shape or form, and for Stalin's Soviet Union in particular. George Orwell was, above all else, his own person. He was a writer whose work reflected the times in which he lived. The oppressive stench of 'cabbage and rag-mats' that hangs in the hallway of Victory Mansions, Winston Smith's abode in Nineteen
Eighty-four, is mirrored by the selfsame gloomy pong of 'cabbage and rag-mats' which pervaded the hallway of 31, Willowbed Road, the lodging-house of Gordon Comstock, the hero of Orwell's earlier novel, Keep the A spidistra Flying, published more than a decade before in 1936. Nineteen Eighty-four was not intended by its author to be prophetic; rather, it was a warning of what might befall humanity if it didn't pull up its socks. Orwell settled on the title Nineteen Eighty-four simply by transposing the last two digits of the year in which he principally wrote the book. The completed novel, as far as its author was concerned, was as much about the times in which it was written as it was about any future date. Had George Orwell (who died in 1950) lived to see the arrival of the year that he made infamous long before its dawn, he would have reached the not unlikely ripe old age of 80. And if he had sat down at his typewriter today and conjectured up a world as it might exist some 36 years hence or thereabouts — what terrifying prospects would a novel entitled Two Thousand and Twenty contain? Or would it possibly present a more comforting picture than its
predecessor? And was Orwell's doom-laden vision justified? Looking forward half-alifetime, I suspect that each and every one of us, both unilateralist and multilateralist alike, would settle, in the first instance and for our children's sakes, for any world at all — so long as it's still around and spinning. But what kind of a world, one wonders? One that is overshadowed by a new type of weapon so obscene and gross that Cruise, Pershing, SS20, SS22 et al all pale into insignificance? Disdaining the short straw of total extinction and seeking, hopefully, a brighter side, is there anything at all comforting to which we might look forward? Nineteen Eighty-four tells of a world in which the telescreen in the corner of every living-room is a fixed and immovable object — an unloved domestic appliance that offers little cheer. Not only is its purpose to spy on the occupants of the room, but it is also permanently and unswitch-offably attuned, day and night, to the broadcasting of programmes glorifying Big Brother, coupled with the grinding out of 'lists of figures to do with the production of pig-iron'. Even Orwell's downtrodden

And cable television has not yet even started. And Orwell's 'two-way' telescreen is also just around the corner. Long before 2020 is here, we'll be using our computerised TV sets to punch out our shopping list to the supermarket, or dial-a-bankstatement — or, indeed, perform every one of those little drudgeries that commit us to the boring to-andfro-ing of daily life. All major sporting fixtures by 2020, and all of them televised worldwide, will take place, for safety's sake, behind closed doors. Meanwhile, bands of sad-faced middleaged 'hools' (short for 'hooligans') — thankfully we'll have long since stopped referring to them as 'football fans' — will ceaselessly roam the empty streets of our European capital cities, unsuccessfully searching for something to disrupt. By 2020, in fact, there'll be little cause or need for any one of us to venture past our electronicallyscreened intruder-proof front doors and out into the world — except when the time arrives for us to leave it finally, comfortably contained in our man-madefibre-lined plastic coffins. Try as I might, I find myself relentlessly predicting a gloomy future. Although one small crumb of comfort suddenly springs to mind: When, in my rockingchair dotage, my trembling fingers fumble restlessly around my multi-multi choice of TV channels — all of them doling out details of horror and carnage and coming from areas of the universe I've never even heard of — is it just possible that, quite by accident, I'll nudge into a programme that concerns itself with the aged occupants of a well-known crumbling thoroughfare that boasts a corner-hostelry presided over by a doddering, octogenarian, but still vulnerable, spinster-lady called Miss Bet Lynch?

Thursday: The Road to 1984
ames Fox as George Orwell. W herever Fox works, his family (inset) go, too: Laurence, six, Robin, eight, Lydia Rose, five, and Thomas, nine, with Fox and wife Mary.
Facing up to the prophet of doom t became one of the most famous opening sentences in the world. Anyone who does not already know it, surely will by the end of this year. 'It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking 13.' So starts George Orwell's last novel, Nineteen Eighty-four. In time, the title turned into an icy shorthand for the horrors of dictatorship by either Left or Right. Over the past 35 years Nineteen Eighty-four has been translated into 62 languages and read by millions. When it was published in 1949 Orwell had only seven months to live. The anniversary of his death from tuberculosis on 21 January 1950, falls two days after the transmission on Channel Four this week of the dramadocumentary, The Road to 1984. It was not until he was 30 that Eric Arthur Blair was fully taken over by George Orwell. 'Blair adopted the pseudonym to avoid embarrassing his parents with his account of life's seamier side in his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London. But he had been turning himself into Orwell for years by rejecting his upper-middleclass Eton and Burma police background in his struggle to become a writer. The Orwell is a Suffolk river that Blair knew as a child. Some say that he took the
Christian name of George after England's patron saint. Faced with the double part of Orwell and Nineteen Eighty-four's central figure, Winston Smith, James Fox wondered if he was up to it. It was not until producer Steve Morrison pointed out certain parallels between the two men's lives that Fox saw his way. Fox has been a successful actor since the age of 11 when he played Greer Garson's son in The Miniver Story (1950). In 1969 he made Performance, with Mick Jagger, brilliantly portraying the fearfully violent gangster, Chas. To extend his range he went into the theatre. During Christmas 1969, when he played Dr Sparrow in Doctor in the House in Blackpool, he found The Navigators, an evangelical group. From 1970 until 1980 he quit the stage and screen to join them as a Christian teacher, abandoning his established place for a journey of self-discovery. 'I am,' he now says, 'someone who took a significant step in life. They thought I'd be able to grapple with Orwell's spirit. 'I fell in love with Jesus himself. I found Him immensely worthy of all sorts of devotion because I found Him devoted to me. When I stopped acting I forsook some of my friends and activities. That made me quite narrow for a while,
but the spiritual awareness was such a gain.' While he would not comment on what Orwell found a loss or a gain, Fox recognised in him a directness akin to his own. 'Sometimes there's one knock too many in life for even the most resilient. I think, in fact, that we're all immensely frail. Orwell wrote terribly frankly about his life at the end. He just wanted someone to look after him and love him.' Fox's great gains were his wife, Mary, whom he married in 1973, and their four children. Wherever his work takes him, Mary, Thomas, Robin, Laurence and Lydia Rose go, too. They went on location to Wales for The Road to 1984. Just now they are all in India, where Fox is working on David Lean's film of E M Forster's novel,
A Passage to India. Steve Morrison observes that what made director David Wheatley want Fox to play Orwell was Wheatley's sense of Fox's almost deliberate steadfastness. 'There are moments,' recalls Morrison, 'when he looks at people piercingly and decides who they are and whether he will let them participate in his life.' Like George Orwell, James Fox is a man who recognises problems; and that the first step out is decently to face up to them. Alix Coleman

W ednesday: Minder
Terry and Arfer: growing old disgreacefully by K en Roche/illustration Len Thurston
l
ihere won't be any more Minder mayhem after 1984 and the end of the series. So what would the next 20 years hold in store for that dodgy duo Arfer and Terry? We asked the pair — otherwise George Cole and Dennis Waterman — how they envisaged things turning out, even if they are absent from our television screens. - Arfer and Terry thought deeply and chatted about it: Terry 'I'm 30-ish now. So that would take me to 50-ish in the year 2001.' Arfer 'I'm now the same age as Paul Newman [581, so I would be in my mid-70s by the turn of the century. But I don't think I will have made any money or be settled properly. I always tend to leave everything too late.' Terry 'I may well be married. I'm always looking for a steady relationship. There's a chance I'll be running a boozer by then. But no doubt Arfer will still be popping in to the car lot. He couldn't give it up.' Arfer 'You're right. I'll still be around. I'd be terrified to leave my own patch and retire to another country. I wouldn't want to leave me own manor.' Terry 'What will your kids be doing , Arfer?' Arfer 'Oh, they'll have disowned me. But they'd probably have made a mate of you—and so would their kids.' Terry 'Your own kids could well be married and their children might adopt me as a kind of grandad or old uncle. I might not have any kids of my own and they would become my sort of adopted family.' Arfer 'I think you'll be a sort of go-between for me and them. I'll 12
tell you what I want from them for Christmas — but make sure they don't come over to my place to see me.' Terry 'And I'll pass on the message from the grandchildren that they don't want any Hong Kong trash from you.' Arfer 'Yeah, and you'll send over a couple of video nasties for the three-year-old.' Terry 'You won't have left your place, will you?' Arfer 'No, but as I get older, I might want to convert it into little flats. As the kids grow up and leave, the first thing I'll do is rent their rooms.' Terry 'How would 'Er Indoors grow old? Gracefully?' Arfer 'No, no; definitely not. She'd be awful ... awful . . Terry 'Gawd, you 'ate her, don't you?' Arfer 'She makes my life progressively more of a misery. She can't stand me around the house as it is, so even as I get old I'll have to be out and about. I'll have to do something — anything — to get away from 'er.' Terry 'You'll still use the Winchester drinking club, which I might have taken over from Dave by then. You'll keep trying to talk me into doing all sorts of things for you.' Arfer 'Whenever Dave feels like it, he'd have me slung out. Or wheeled out.' Terry 'And wouldn't you have tried to get in on the local council?' Arfer 'Well, there's an episode coming up where I stand for the local council on a law-and-order ticket — only I get nicked for receiving.' Terry 'You'll not only want to get

on the council to further your wheeler-dealing, you'd want it because you're a terrible snob, in to the bargain.' Arfer 'Oh, I'd love to be called councillor, and in the back of my mind I'd want to be mayor some day and join the Rotarians — but they wouldn't have me. It would be one of my old-age frustrations to be kept off the council.' Terry 'Yes, you'll be looked upon as a villain by inference — although you're not a villain, just a bit of a rascal. You just don't see anything you do as against the law. And you'll find it terrible to grow old. You don't like any reference to ageing now, so you'll take it very 'ard. Even now you cover up the fact that you need glasses. By then you'll be deaf, too, and hating the idea of being seen with an 'earin' aid. You'll always be looking in Exchange and Mart for an 'earin' aid — at the cheapest possible price of course.' Arfer 'Yes, I'll be a selfish old beggar. So I'll have to have a hearing aid because I enjoy my comforts, like television, too much.' Terry 'You'll need a wheelchair because your legs will have started to go, and you'll be constantly conning me to push you round the local park.' Arfer 'And you will never give me credit at the bar.' Terry 'Definitely not. I'll be making up for all those years you've done me. Not only would there be no credit — you'll 'ave to pay for every single drink before I give it you.' Arfer 'I think I'll probably have a greyhound, and run it in some terrible run-down dog track. Being an owner, I'll expect to get
great inside information — which I won't.' Terry 'But I'll still be weak enough to listen to your tips, and blow the Winchester bar takings on 'em.' Arfer 'You could even bar me from the club for that. In fact, there's one episode when I do get barred and join an exclusive dining club, and after a few visits I suddenly realise that the members aren't what I thought.' Terry 'Oh, Arfer — you won't be able to stand that.' Arfer 'You'd be far more liberal.' Terry 'I don't think I'll be a very successful publican. Then again, 'ave you ever met one who wasn't? I think I'll have settled down a bit, and me wife will have gone on a special course to learn the trade properly.' Arfer 'I expect I'll hate that. I'd keep trying to interfere and hold you back from improving yourself, 'cos I'll be losing control over you.' Terry 'When your kids 'ave finally given you the elbow, I can see me making excuses for you. I'd keep saying you're not a bad old bloke, really, and they ought to 'ave a bit of concern for you and look after you more.' Arfer 'Yes, and your wife will be forever telling you you owe me nothing. But because of my wheelchair you'll put a ramp in the bar. I won't buy a proper mechanical wheelchair because I'm too mean. I'll rely on you to push me around.' Terry 'Will 'Er Indoors walk out on you and leave you without a live-in slave for your old age?' Arfer 'No, no, she'll stay and make my life a misery. So it looks like I'll still need you, Terence — even 20 years on. .

THE FSO POLONEZ • THE SIERRA-SIZED HATCHBACK FOR THE PRICE OF A FIESTA. It sounds almost too good to be true that you can buy a real family sized hatchback like the F50 Polonez for as little as £3899.t Or could it be that somebody else is offering you far less car for far more money? You could buy a Fiesta 950 Popular Plus for around the same price but you'll find a lot less in the car. Apart from not finding as much space: You won't find servo-assisted brakes. You won't find electronic ignition. You won't find a 5 speed gearbox. You won't find an adjustable steering column. You won't find twin headlights. You won't find a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty.* You will find all these and a lot more in the Polonez. So before we start running out of space, we suggest you take a test run in an FSO Polonez. There's likely to be an FSO showroom near you because, as you'd expect, we have a nationwide network of dealers and service centres, backed up by our own £5 million
computer-controlled parts centre. There's even a competitively priced FSO owners' insurance scheme. Send us the coupon and we'll give you full details of the FSO Polonez 5 door hatchback, 1300 and 1500 saloons, and Estate, along with the address of your nearest dealer. We think you'll find very little room for improvement at the price. 1

Sunday/Tuesday: The Jewel in the Crown
Star of India who casts ' ter a sinks shadow
Lady Manners (Rachel Kempson), Barbie Batchelor (Peggy A shcroft), companion to Mabel Layton. kindly pillar of the old Raj.
This week's episode of 'The Jewel in the Crown' on ITV introduces the Layton family of soldiers and soldiers' wives and their friends. The Laytons' lives are soon to become entwined with the story's main character, the misguided and corrupt Ronald Merrick, played by Tim Pigott-Smith, Who here tells how he became obsessed by the role. byAdrian Furness Mildred Layton (Judy Parfitt); her Sarah Layton (Geraldine James), Mildred's wilful elder daughter. husband is a prisoner of war.
T
im Pigott-Smith had just had a call from a national newspaper. 'Pigott-Smith?' asked the journalist. 'Is that your real name? It's not the sort that goes well in lights, is it?' Pigott-Smith can afford a wry smile as he tells the story. Who needs lights? As the sinister policeman Merrick in The Jewel in the Crown, based on Paul Scott's Raj Quartet, he is as near as anyone to being the star of the 15-hour series. If you missed the beginning, episodes one and two are being re-shown on Channel Four on Sunday, while ITV continues with part three on Tuesday. A tall, lean man, Pigott-Smith has an expressive face and an openness which comes as quite a shock to anyone who has watched his portrayal of Merrick. 'Back in 1975,' he says, 'a friend rang me and asked, did I know the Raj Quartet. There was a part in it I should play. 'So I went and got the books, and it was obvious which part it was. Merrick is ruthless — and directors see me as capable of playing these unpleasant characters. 'Scott was writing about what happens to an ordinary man in a
16
class-and-empire situation. I don't mean ordinary in terms of character, for Merrick could never be quite ordinary. But he came from a standard, middle-class, grammar school background. 'He tried to get into the Army but didn't have enough class. So he went to India as a policeman, taking second best. A talented man, hard-working, courageous, ambitious, ruthless. But it is the weaknesses of his character that come to the fore in the story. Scott wrote about the corruption that happens to people when they rule, about how that gradually eats away and diseases them. 'Merrick was trained to think he was racially superior, conditioned by 300 years of British rule in India. And what makes him a tragic as opposed to a melodramatic figure is that, when he hounds young Hari Kumar he believes not that he is performing some kind of evil act, but that he's actually doing what is right.'That is a terrifying form of corruption.' Not surprisingly, during the 18 months of filming Pigott-Smith began to feel himself being taken over by Merrick, frighteningly so. 'I had at the beginning,' he says,
'a great sense of difficulty getting the character on to film. I got quite freaked out by it, by scenes that wouldn't go right. I don't know . it was almost as if Merrick was so dreadful, so evil, there was actually something stopping it being done.' He grins nervously, and adds: 'When I watched the completed series I found myself wanting to stop the film and put things right. I began taking sides with people and getting cross; feeling no, no, it's all going wrong.' Pigott-Smith became so engrossed with the role that for a year he read nothing that wasn't about Indian history. He even had to be warned by his wife, actress Pamela Miles, to stop striking autocratic poses in the kitchen. India itself entranced him with its heady mixture of the mystic and the earthy. As he looks through his scrapbook, memories come flooding back. Perhaps the most lasting is of the time Pamela and their seven-year-old son Tom came out to join him for a holiday.

It wasn't quite as romantic as I would have liked. It was fun, but what do we do on our 11th anniversary?' Tim Pigott-Smith became an actor more through geography 14-20 January 1984 TVTIMES

'I went to what was supposedly Shakespeare's old school, leaving in 1964, which was Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. Then I found a job in the paint shop at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre before going to Bristol University.' A few years later he was back, this time as a fully-fledged member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Since then, on stage, television and film, he has been one of those 'actors' actors', perhaps better known and more respected in the profession than by the public at large. Now The Jewel in the Crown looks likely to change that, as it has changed him. His next project, for instance, is a one-man show based on a book called Bengal Lancer, which he came across in the course of his Indian reading. India has him hooked. He has even been asked to open an Indian restaurant in London. 'Of course,' says Tim Pigott-Smith, laughing, 11 'they hadn't seen Jewel in the Crown :3 when they asked me . . '

Monday, Tuesday: The Decade ofDestruction
Family tragedy in a doomed wilderness 1979, Chico Prestes left his three sons on a riverbank in Brazil and went into the jungle. The boys, aged between seven and 18, were cleaning the fish they'd caught for the family's evening meal. It was the last expedition Chico was to enjoy with his sons. When he returned 20 minutes later he found that the two older boys were dying from arrow wounds, and that the youngest, seven-year-old Fabio, had vanished. While Chico was away a tribe of Indians had slipped silently from the trees, attacked the boys and kidnapped the smallest child. The Decade of Destruction, which can be seen on ITV on Monday and Tuesday this week, follows Chico in his search for his kidnapped son, setting the quest against the wider background of the area's many problems. The Brazilian state of Rondonia, where the Prestes family lives, contains a jungle the size of West Germany. This was formerly the home of rare and wild animals and unknown tribes of Indians, but now it's considered ripe for development. As poor families The abducted child, like the Prestes move in and clear Fabio (right), with the undergrowth for agriculture, older brother Luis, the Indians are driven from their who was one of territory and the wildlife is those killed, and decimated. their mother, 'The sad thing is that the land Raimunda, and some often turns out to be unsuitable for of her other children. agriculture,' says director Adrian Left: Chico Prestes Cowell, who spent two years in undertook a Rondonia making the film.

'The rain forests take in carbon dioxideand give out oxygen into the Earth's atmosphere,' says TVTimes science and space expert, Dr Garry Hunt. 'Cutting down the forests could have a catastrophic effect on the Earth's weather. Local climates could change, there could be too little rainfall or too much. Crops could fail, resulting in famine.' Yet the destruction of the forest continues. By the end of the decade experts believe that most of it will have disappeared. Chico, meanwhile, leaves such problems to others. He is concerned only to find his son. Linda Hawkins ON 24 OCTOBER

The Night the City Screamed RAYMOND BURR Stories about city-wide power failures really began in 1968 with
W here W ere Y ou W hen the Lights W ent Out?, which played the subject for laughs. This TV movie takes it a good deal more seriously; it's sometimes silly but more often gripping. Despite the fact that the numerous characters in the plot can only be peremptorily sketched in, there are personable performances from many of the cast, especially Robert Culp as a councilman who puts politics before people and Taurean Blacque as a flashy pimp. The largely intelligent treatment by writer Larry Brody and director Harry Falk puts this a notch or two above most 'disaster-style' yarns. Raymond Burr, who seems to be solidifying into iron, brings his considerable weight to the key role of the city's mayor. The city itself remains unnamed, but location work was done in Los Angeles.
[1 hour 45 minutes] TV M, 1980
TUESDAY
Murder Once Removed JOHN FORSYTHE A thriller about a ruthless doctor out to murder all those who stand in his way — including the husband of his mistress. John Forsythe (the voice of the unseen Charlie in Charlie's Angels) switches to the front of the camera, playing the medico to whom everyone is expendable. Barbara Bain, who became familiar as the leading lady of Space 1999, is the mistress and Broadway musical star Richard Kiley takes on a straight acting role as her husband. That Kiley is so good should surprise no-one who remembers his beginning in films as a dramatic actor under the name Richard Stapley.

Father Dear Father PATRICK CARGILL Johnnie Mortimer and Brian Cooke take no chances with this feature film version of their successful TV comedy series and run it along tried and true lines. More remarkable is the number of guest stars who pop in and out: Richard O'Sullivan and Jill Melford make the most noteworthy contributions, but you'll also spot Donald Sinden, Jack Watling and Beryl Reid.
[1 hour 35 minutes]
1972
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother GENE WILDER Wilder made his name as a funny man in Mel Brooks films, and his first film as star-director turns out to be a typically Brooksian curate's egg of a helter-skelter farce, fussily set in Victorian times, but with some nice scenes involving Roy Kinnear. These are mostly played for laughs, but include one piece of calculated excitement which really stirs the blood, as he and Wilder swing at each other with giantsized boot and glove from the tops of speeding carriages.

MARIE DRESSLER WALLACE BEERY Dressler and Beery, reunited from Min and Bill, in which she took an Oscar (he won an Academy Award that same year — 1931 — for his performance in The Champ), climb all over the scenery as feuding river-dwellers in this immensely popular M-G-M comedy. It must have been a relaxing chore for Mervyn LeRoy, following on Five Star Final, Two Seconds and I Was a
Fugitive from a Chain Gang. [1 hour 35 minutes]

A Gun in the House SALLY STRUTHERS Similar in theme to the recently released cinema film Handgun, this stars Sally Struthers as a suburban housewife and mother who is suddenly and viciously thrust into a gun control problem. The storyline shows what citizens face when assaulted by armed attackers and asks what innocent victims can do to protect themselves. The treatment is tough and uncompromisin g.

BET1 Y HUTTON EDDIE BRACKEN One of five films that Hutton and Bracken made together at Paramount in the war years, the bestremembered of which is The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. In postwar times, their stars exploded, and both were out of Hollywood by the early Fifties. Their roles here are as nominal
stars to one of those marvellous wartime studio extravaganzas in which pretty well every contractee was bound to turn up; in this case that meant Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, William Bendix, Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland, Susan Hayward, Paulette Goddard, Dick Powell and many more, with some directors too. The songs include That Old Black Magic (nominated for an Oscar) and
Time to Hit the Road to Dreamland. [1 hour 55 minutes] 1942

MARTIN SHEEN A western about endurance. Shot in Spain by a British director, Anthony Harvey (a former actor and editor whose best-known film is The Lion in W inter), the film carries a feeling of primitive times, accentuated by the burnished colour photography of Billy Williams. Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston are impressive as the principal protagonists, each striving to prove that there is nothing more likely to make an ultimate winner than a bad loser.

TALLULAH BANKHEAD Not many directors would have dared to make an entire suspense film set on board a lifeboat, but Alfred Hitchcock did it during World War Two, and it comes off retty well. He even squeezes in . tis customary guest appearance — via an advertisement for a loseweight treatment on a newspaper floating past the boat. Forthright performances by Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix and Walter Slezak (as the only German) keep the tension crackling.

Do your bills tend to arrive on top of one another and catch you on the hop? Wouldn't it be nice if they were all equal and came at the rate of one a month? That's exactly the idea behind the Midland Budget Account. This is how it works. You estimate the total amount of your bills for a year (If you need help, just ask.) You divide that total by twelve to give a regular monthly Then you simply agree to transfer that amount from your current account to your Midland Budget Account every month. You've then got the money when you want it to cover all your budgeted bills. No worry. You can pay them using your special Midland Budget Account • • •
cheque book or arrange for us to pay them by standing order. In addition to normal bank charges, you'll pay just £10 a year plus interest on the occasions when your Budget Account is overdrawn. This interest is currently calculated at an Annual Percentage Rate of 15-8%.* At the end of the twelve months we settle any overpayment or underpayment with you. If you want to keep in control of your finances and cut those bills down to size, come and talk about opening a Midland Budget Account. Tear out this advertisement and bring it with you.

Maureen McCoy - MBE, recipient of the Papal Medal and once Roman Catholic Woman of the Year - is known to everyone as 'Mac'. As a night nurse in Birmingham, she used to travel the city helping those in their last hours. Since her retirement, she has set up a Handicapped Fellowship and drives her ancient Smiley bus for the handicapped. But she's no plaster saint.

The Motor Show A totally new kind of motoring programme: an eight-part series aimed at both enthusiasts and the regular family motorist, a magazine programme which deals in an entertaining way with both the serious and lighter aspects of motoring. Features already lined up include regular spots in which ordinary motorists are given the opportunity to test and comment on new cars just arriving on the market; critical investigations into the quality of services offered to the motorist; and a 'surprise' slot in which a guest driver is challenged to test a vehicle in The Motor Show garage - without knowing until the last moment what the vehicle is to be. Plus the painstaking step-by-step restoration of a classic British sports car, a 19-yearold MGA, and an affectionate introduction to some of the fascinating characters in motoring today. Presenters are Chris Goffey and Diana Goodman. DIRECTOR MIKE SHACKLETON PRODUCERS NICK BENSTED, MIKE DUFFICEY Mike Dufficey & Partners Production

Kanner, the producer, writers and directors. But will they explain why — in 1984, the year for which The Prisoner might have been made — it still attracts huge audiences?

9.30 The Road to 1984 BY WILLIS HALL
JAMES FOX The Road to 1984 traces the major turning points in George Orwell's life which influenced his political ideas and led to the creation of his last novel, Nineteen Eighty-four. We see Orwell as a policeman serving the British Empire in Burma, a tramp, Down and Out in Salvation Army hostels, an Old Etonian discovering another culture on The Road to W igan Pier, fighting in the Spanish Civil War trenches, a reluctant propagandist in wartime BBC, and a TB ridden writer on the remote Hebridean island of Jura. James Fox also plays Win-
ston Smith, the central character of Nineteen Eightyfour, in newly dramatised scenes from Orwell's novel. See pages 6 and 11

Prince A ndrew went adventuring at the end of July. Following in his brother's footsteps, he made a trip to Canada, and his visit entailed a journey through the wilderness by canoe. A bove: he points a paddle at photographers who welcome him back from his trek.
Rested after their summer holiday, the Queen and Prince Philip rounded off their travelling year in November with a trip to Kenya, Bangladesh and India. It was a time for memories. During a stay at Treetops in Kenya in 1952, King George V I died and Princess Elizabeth became Queen. A bove: the royal train attracts thousands of people who line the route to Sagana Lodge, a state residence ofKenyan President Moi.
The people of Nairobi greet the Queen, and Prince Philip receives a gift from local officials when he inspects a roadbuilding project. Below: game warden Richard Prickett points out the site of the original Treetops which was destroyed by Mau Mau guerillas in 1954. The new Treetops hotel, on stilts, is on the other side of the waterhole.
In the middle of November the royal couple flew on to Bangladesh. A bove: a train is decked out for the V IPs, and one undernourished youngster, on the road to recovery, meets the Queen at the Dacca Malnutrition Unit. The unit treats starving children and teaches parents about food management and preparation.

A visit to a model village
in Bangladesh, where government aid helps support a co-operative running a weaving shed, fishing school and crafts shop. The Queen is presented with a rush basket filled with fragrant shefali petals.
Looking more like the monarch of the storybooks, the Queen attends a state banquet while in Bangladesh.

Before the Queen left for Kenya, and while she was away, other members of the Royal Family resumed their official duties after the summer break. A t the age of 81, Princess A lice, Duchess of Gloucester, has cut down on many of her public appearances, but in October, above, she visits Colchester to inspect the 2nd Battalion The Royal A nglian Regiment as their Deputy Colonel-in-Chief. Right: in the same month, the Duchess of Kent is involved in the world of music when she and the Duke attend the premiere of the film 'La Traviata' in aid of the Royal Opera House Trust and Development A ppeal.
October: the Duchess of Gloucester, hand in hand with daughter LadyDavina W indsor at a 'V ictoriana Day' in London's Hyde Park, celebrating the life of Prince A lbert. .1n111n1111n111M
--October is not usually the month for 'Hay Fever', unless it happens to be the Noel Coward play of that name. A bove: Princess Diana at a performance of the comedy meets the show's star, Penelope Keith.
Prince Charles represents the Queen while she is abroad touring Kenya in November, and lays the 1983 Remembrance Sunday wreath at the Cenotaph in London. 111=11111111111n111n1111
From Bangladesh, the royal entourage moved.... on to India — the Queen's first state visit to that country for 22 years. A bove: one of the first official engagements is a meetingwith the Prime Minister Mrs Gandhi. The Queen is welcomed in the historic setting of the Moghul Gardens at the Presidential Palace, once the home of India's last V iceroy, Earl Mountbatten.
Taxi, sir? Prince Philip, who is President of the W orld W ildlife Fund, finds an elephant by far the best mode of transport for a visit to the Kanha National Park near Hyderabad, where attempts are being made to save India's dwindling population of tigers from extinction. Left: girls from a school in New Delhi put on a colourful display to welcome the Queen.

Reflecting the days of the British Raj, the Delhi schoolgirls made a replica of an 18th-century sedan chair to parade the Queen, and, left, the Queen admires the balancing skills of a troupc of folk dancers at Devara Y amzal village. A bove: the Queen presents Mother Theresa of Calcutta with the Order of Merit for work with destitute people.
Princess A nne and Captain Mark Phillips having an informal chat with Michael Parkinson. The couple agreed to appear on A ustralian TV during their visit in October, and asked that their fee be paid to the Save the Children Fund. British audiences enjoyed the interview on TV -am in December. ROYAL YEAR PICTURE CREDITS
A nervous Princess Diana takes a last look at her husband before he happily hurls himself over an SOft cliff and abseils to the bottom. The Prince was taking part in November in a simulated rescue by students from A tlantic College in W alesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he was the willing victim they were saving.
W hile Prince A ndrew is interviewed on D avid Frost's TV -am spot in November, Prince Edward performs in his own way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the rugby field at Cambridge.
A delay in switching on the Christmas lights in London, gives Princess A lexandra and her husband, who were invited to perform the ceremony, time to visit the shops.

INDEPENDENT TESTS PROVE THERM-A-STOR DOUBLE GLAZING BEST
Best for cum batting HEAT MSS anti CONBENSATION
At Therm-A-Stor we wanted to demonstrate the superiority of our windows and doors, but found no standardized testing procedure existed. So we commissioned an independent laboratory to test our own and competitors products with standard glazing in still air. This showed Therm-A-Stor to be the best. The laboratory then carried out further tests using two simulated windspeeds. Again this proved the superiority of Therm-A-Stor insulation and its U values; which is how experts define heat loss (the lower the U value, the more efficient the insulation). In different environmental conditions similar rankings would be maintained. The heat loss chart below based on measurements and calculations ± 7%, proves the superiority of Therm-A-Stor insulation.
The laboratory also tested the windows for their resistance against condensation; it was clear that once more Therm-A-Stor was streets ahead. The chart shows significant condensation formed at various low external temperatures given normal internal temperature of 68 ° F and 65% relative humidity. Therm-A-Stor again was proven the best and is often cheaper than ordinary double glazing.

Sunday There's no point in beating about the bush, for this year you will need every ounce of self-control at your command. Monday Y ou are at your best this year with anything that requires an investigative or secretive mind. Tuesday Discipline in all emotional matters will ensure your life gains solid roots and foundations. Wednesday The full moon dominates your birthday chart, urging you to kick out the past and be ready to gather in the new. Use that alert brain of yours, whenever possible. Thursday This year you will transcend everything your life has meant up to now. A n epoch making year, as you and Michael Crawford (42 today) will experience. Friday A rich and fruitful year that will add to your artistic talent and originality. —
Aries
21 March-20 A pril
Gemini 22 May-21 June
It's best to understand completely and utterly that the undercurrents and brute-force energies around will either destroy or transform your private life. The Mars/Pluto conjunction is bound to raise your sexual desires or everyday passions, but if you lose control you will turn folk against you, as they will feel a pawn in your game of power. Mark my words, do not treat anybody too lightly.
There's no one around to match your brainpower this week. You could do worse than to concentrate on various sections of your life that need a good sort out. Working conditions could certainly do with some of your extraspecial thoughts, as there are changes afoot due to the complex relationships which exist between the bosses and the workers.
Taurus
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
21 A pril-21 May
One of the most soul-searching times spiritually in your life. You seem to be acutely aware about the shortcomings of the world, and the inadequate way in which it is governed. Your selflessness is unparalleled and you want to be of service to those less fortunate than yourself. Your ideals are Utopian, so it's important to keep a degree of practicability in all your thoughts and visionary concepts.
The year has hardly been born before teething troubles appear in your close relationships. It's not a difficult time, but your natural tenacity and desire to hold on to situations long after they've outlived their usefulness could prove the deciding factor in the future of your one-to-one affairs. Full moons represent the autumn and winter, a time of winding down, casting off and hibernating.
Leo 24
July -23 A ug
Sagittarius
23 N ov -21 Dec
It's a funny old week. The weekend could see some spiteful moments, but don't be dragged into any dramas. Wednesday is a nadir point healthwise, and you shouldn't involve yourself in anything that will stretch you mentally or physically. A visit to the doctor may be necessary, although 'to prevent' is always better than 'to cure'. Take it easy as it's a sensitive period at work, too.
It's a case of 'did you make hay while the Sun shone'? For as Jupiter and Neptune leave your sign, so I can't help but see you as Old Mother Hubbard, for unless you cashed in on what happened to you last year, your life's cupboard may now be bare. Even if havoc has been wreaked, everything is meant for a reason. And if you used opportunity and evolved spiritually, now you'll see fortunes rise.
Virgo 24
Capricorn

22 Dec-20 Jan
You've lived through it all over the past years, with confusion and disappointment leading the way. As the super-duo, Jupiter and Neptune, walk into your solar house of love affairs and creativity, so at last you'll be made aware of your divine talents and fantastic potential. Follow a path that is for self-satisfaction much more than egotistical or financial rewards.
A period of beautiful enlightenment begins from today. Transcending all earthly worries, the combined energies of Jupiter and Neptune will now help you begin to see life in a new light. This will leave you confused, muddled and with a false sense of happiness at times, but if you can keep your image and spiritual requirements in perspective, then a glorious year dawns.
Libra
Aquarius
24 S ept-23 Oct
Being a cardinal sign, you are very much affected by the amazing event happening in Capricorn this week. Your home life, security, or anything that bears relation to your past, will undergo a major re-think from now on. The celestial events that occur now will bring domestic matters clearly into focus. On the more material level, it is the buying, selling or change of home.
Scorpio
24 Oct-22 N ov
The Herculean conjunction of both your rulers, Mars/ Pluto, leaves you with a starry, even fanatical, desire to be in total and complete control over everything that's happening in your life. Y ou want to be the power behind the throne, not the puppet being manipulated by others. Major structures and obstacles are currently being removed and re-laid in your world.

Witfi so many heavenly bodies changing sign or direction, it would be too easy to forget that the bedazzling Sun shines gently in your sign from Friday.

Nevertheless, put your needs before anything else.

The two planets closest to your astrological heart, Jupiter and Neptune, leave your solar house of career and ambition and centre their energies on your solar house of friendships and future hopes and wishes.

FILM CLIPS
Was itthe unkindest cut of them all? W hat happened to a viewer's favourite scene from a blockbuster science fiction movie? Who played Rebecca in Hitchcock's famous film? ITV and Channel Four film buyer Leslie Halliwell answers more letters from readers. I HAVE been roundly abused by C W of Birmingham for cutting his favourite film Close Encounters of he Third Kind, when it was repeated. It seems that the version we showed lacked his favourite scene, the one in which Richard Dreyfuss goes amiably mad in his kitchen, building up in soil a model of the black mountain which has come so forcibly into his imagination. To put C W in the picture, two years after it was first released, director Steven Spielberg was given the rare opportunity to improve it. In the so-called 'special version', which was then released all over the world, he cut the rather messy kitchen scene and added five minutes of footage inside the spaceship at the end. ITV bought both versions, and plays them alternately, clearly labelled. We all have fallible memories, but sometimes a film stays so vividly with us through the years that it is hard to resist the wrong impression. J G of Gosforth, for instance, wrote to ask me to settle an argument. Was it Joan Fontaine or Olivia de Havilland who played the title role in Rebecca? The strict answer of course is neither: Rebecca is dead before the story opens. Joan Fontaine plays the second Mrs de Winter, who is never given a first name at all.
asks me to help him win a bet by confirming that in the 1935 version of David Copperfield, Aunt Betsey's amiable if muddle-headed companion, Mr Dick, was played by Roland Young. I'm afraid S D loses his money, if money is involved, for Roland Young played the sanctimonious Uriah Heep. The actor who played Mr Dick was one Lennox Pawle, who died a year later after making only a handful of Hollywood films. His career had been mainly on the British stage, and the highlight of it came in 1922 when he played Samuel Pepys in A nd So To Bed. S D OF DUNGANNON

HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY WHERE ELSE, on the same day, can you meet Mickey Mouse, jump out of your skin at Jaws, get saddlesore on a wagon-train trek, have a flutter on a fruit machine in the desert, swim and sunbathe on a tropical island and ski-trail down a mountainside in subzero temperatures? Where else but America. It's the biggest holiday camp in the world. From Disney World on the east coast of Florida, to Disneyland and Universal Studios on California's west coast, from the cowboy country of the Mid-West and the casinos of Las Vegas, to the balmy breezes of Hawaii and the crispcold of Colorado, America is a giant playground. And it's not just for the rich, either. Despite the exchange rate, you can still enjoy marvellous value-formoney holidays'in America. Travelling is easy, with reasonably priced air or train fares, cheap petrol, excellent public transport (Los Angeles excepted), and the cleanest and most comfortable motels in the world (if you forget about Norman Bates and his motel in a Psycho sideshow on the Universal Studios tour). The best way to see America is still the oldfashioned pioneer way — a spectacular 3000-mile trek across country. You need

you wish. Today's travellers go in air-conditioned comfort by train, plane or car, stopping oft in different states — different worlds, really, with totally different climates and different people — along the way. The following are just some of the tour operators offering holidays to the States: British Caledonian Airways specialises in week-long holidays in Florida for as little as £324; Thomas Cook runs exciting wagon-train holidays through Arizona; Cosmos provides a wide range of tours to all parts of the US, including self-drive holidays; and Exchange Travel offers villa holidays in Florida, Hawaii and California. Don't forget, if you're planning a summer holiday to California, book early to avoid disappointment in this, the year of the Los Angeles Olympics.

may sound a bit optimistic in my feelings about marriage in Britain in the Eighties, but after answering readers' problems in TV Times' 'Dear Katie' page for 12 years, I am still a most fervent believer in everything it stands for. I am well aware of the great social changes in attitude and outlook in the last two decades. Many more couples choose to live together; the marriage and birth rate is still falling; and there was an avalanche of divorces in the Seventies. Nevertheless, human nature does not alter, and I believe that couples still long fora fulfilling relationship within the bonds of marriage. Most encouragingly, the 1982 figures on the numbers of marriages and divorces, from the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, bears out my cautious optimism. Although only 342,000 couples plighted their troth in 1982 — a decline of three per cent on the previous year and the lowest figure since 1959 — the number of divorces has stayed relatively steady for four years ina row. I am not suggesting that we should congratulate ourselves on a staggering total of 147,000 decrees made absolute in England and Wales in 1982, but at least it is an increase of less than one per cent on 1981. After the epidemic of divorce in the midSeventies, when figures doubled in seven years, I think couples are beginning to take stock of the good things in their marriages and are less likely to feel that a divorce solves or ends the problem. Both husbands and wives have had time to see the loneliness and anguish that divorce has brought to others. The distress caused to children is unarguable, and I can only hope the figure drops still further, or, every year, 160,000 children under 16 can expect to see their parents split up. The most popular age to wed is now in the early 20s. Men are most likely to take this step when they are just over 24, girls at just over 22. But, when that moment comes, they areas forwardlooking and as confident of making a happy and fulfill-
Two young people meet, fall in love, marry and expect to live happily ever after. More than 20 years and two children later, they take a long, hard look at each other. . . To find out what they see, you'll have to tune in to ITV's

ing life together as any young couple in the last half century. Renate Olins, from the London Marriage Guidance Council, has her own views on this subject. 'Despite all the statistics, couples go into marriage still intending that it shall be for life. They expect much more out of it than their parents or grand-
parents. Victorian women had no choice in their lifestyles, but girls and boys today have been educated to demand very high standards. 'They look for a pleasant companion with whom to share their ideas, a totally fulfilling sexual relationship and enough money to enable both of them to realise their material dreams, whether it's a
kitchen with all mod cons, holidays abroad, or a sports car in the drive. They also desperately want to be able to offer their children a secure home life and the best of everything they can afford. But underneath there is also a deepseated fear of failure.' Some of my advice has not altered very much since the early Seventies. I still tell young marrieds not to

First, contrary to popular belief, you should not shake this type of duvet as it breaks up the feathers, finally tuming them into fine dust. Instead, smooth lengthways with the palms of the hands, distributing the contents evenly. Secondly, feathers need air, and body heat causes them to stick together. So, to keep it bouncy, hang your duvet to air over your washing line or

lose touch with relatives and friends in those first heady years of togetherness. And, to keep a marriage growing, both parties must have outside interests. Consideration, care and concern are also high on my list when it comes to a recipe for a long-lasting marriage. And the other ingredient — which I find woefully short in family life — is communication. Husbands and wives, sons and daughters seem unable to confide in each other. They bottle up these emotions and problems or write to me about them. 'My dad is so strict, he makes me so unhappy'; 'I can't tell my mum how I feel'; 'I don't know why my wife no longer enjoys love making'; 'My husband hardly speaks to me'. Each time I receive these kind of letters I want to rush to a house in Balham or Bradford and knock everyone's heads together, and say, 'For God's sake, talk to each other. Break down the barriers, call a family conference, put your point of view and listen to everyone else's.' You'd be amazed the effect the phrase 'Please help me' can have. My own personal feelings about the fulfilment a good marriage can bring were highlighted in a lovely letter from Mrs Rosalind Eedle, who lives in Alford, Lincolnshire. 'In a day when we hear so much about the unhappiness that exists in marriages, may I admit to being a very happy and contenled wife with four children. Life is not easy as my husband is unemployed, but he spends most days searching for and using up old materials to improve our house and garden. He is a wonderful father and reads to the children for at least an hour each evening. We have had many times of stress and trauma during our 18 years together, but are more in love today than we were when first married. I hope this letter encourages others to keep going in hard times. A marriage which survives difficulties is strengthened and brings so much joy.' Next week: Katie Boyle reveals what her own marriages have taught her about life and love. 14-20 January 1984 TVT1MES
