10 Brief Nves

A fresh eye on the box Why does one television programme make people sit up and pay attention, while another goes by like moving wallpaper? That's the kind of question The Television Show (Sunday, ITV) will try to answer, as this new, live series takes a light-hearted look at popular television from the points of view of stars, viewers and programme-makers. Some of television's biggest names will come into the studio to talk about the shows they're working on. and excerpts from these programmes will be shown. All the companies in the ITV network and C4 have agreed to contribute material to The Television Show, and the BBC has also promised its help. Co-presenters Fern Britton and Kieran Prendiville — who

Rumpole of the Bailey also tells a good story, of a typical day in his life, as his new series begins on ITV on Monday.

40 Tcie-teNer Offie Surprisingly, for a man with his tough-guy reputation, tearaway actor Oliver Reed also writes children's stories. Stewart Knowles probes the enigmatic personality of the star, who is Max Headroom's chatshow guest this Tuesday on C4.

Film to feather Ford's nest There's a rare chance to see Harrison Ford as himself, rather than as a cinema character, when he pays a visit to Aspel & Company (Saturday, ITV). The publicity-shy actor once earned his living as a carpenter, and he's still happier hammering nails than living the high life. In his latest film, The Mosquito Coast, based on the novel by Paul Theroux, Ford plays Allie Fox (pictured above, with feathered friend), who has become so disillusioned with American values that he uproots his family and settles them on the remote coast of Honduras.

Both are keen TV watchers, Prendiville being attracted in particular to shows such as C4's Hill Street Blues (above), with its strong storylines and visually exciting action. Fern Britton confesses to being unable to walk into a room without switching on a TV set. 'I'm Mrs Average as far as programme tastes go,' she says. 'I love the soaps — Coronation Street, Dallas, Dynasty (far right] — plus 3-2-1 and most children's programmes. IM fairly selective, though, and I don't watch sport because I find it totally boring. That said, I might tune in to the odd snooker match. because my mother is very into that.' Prendiville says: 'Programmes that currently look at the content of television tend to take themselves rather seriously. The Television Show will reflect the best of popular TV, be a mixture of good (but

not too serious) journalism and entertainment and, above all. be fun. We hope we can give viewers a fair idea of how programmes are made.' In addition to looking behind the scenes of such programmes as Eamonn Andrews' This is Y our Life (above), Rumpole of the Bailey and Crossroads, the show's cameras will follow home a big winner of ITVs popular game show The Price is Right. Another

feature of the new programme is that members of the public (lawyers and police officers among them) will also have a chance to comment on how TV programmes portray the job they do. 'The popular papers devote several pages every day to broadcasting matters,' producer Chris Riley points out. 'We simply thought, why not do the same thing ourselves — on television?'

Carol's shaping up to the part If you saw Carol Hawkins (below) looking plumper than usual in last month's television drama God's Chosen Carpark, you may be surprised to see her back to her usual slim self when she plays shop steward Tracy Cosgrove in this week's episode of My Husband and 1 (Friday, ITV). There aren't any magic diet secrets for Carol to reveal, though; for her role as the constantlymunching Yvonne in the C4 film, Carol's naturally slender shape was 'bulked out' with lots of padding.

Charlie lives again

Andrew beats the system

When David Warner (above) starred in Charlie, the 1984 ITV series about a disorganised private eye who stumbles into a major crime, it marked his return to leading roles. This superstar of the Sixties, best known for the film Morgan — a Suitable Case for Treatment (1965), spent the following decade appearing mostly in supporting roles, often as villains. But after Charlie, which can be seen again this week (Tuesday and Wednesday, ITV), Warner went on to star in the series Hold the Back Page! for the BBC.

Around 120 people, most of them unemployed, have now found full-time jobs by watching Central Jobfinder '87 on ITV. Chef Andrew Darwood (above), of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, was the 50th. Every day of the week — before TV-am, and again after closedown — this programme features job vacancies in the Midlands and elsewhere, as well as information about training opportunities. Although the programme is in text form, you don't need a teletext set to see it. Simply press your ITV button for early-morning or late-night viewing.

Sting in the tale

Rumpole obeys new orders

When British producer Beryl Vertue was filming Parole (Tuesday, C4) in the US in 1981, she wanted 'really good theme music' to accompany the powerful story, which includes hundreds of real-life prisoners in a fictional tale about a parole officer and his client. 'I got permission to use Bob Dylan's song I Shall Be Released,' says Beryl, 'Then I asked Sting, whom I really admire, to record it for the film.' Sting, pictured left, agreed, and gave one of his first solo performances without his group The Police.

Marion Mathie plays Rumpole's wife Hilda (left, with Leo McKem) in the new series of Rumpole of the Bailey (Monday, ITV). Taking over the role of She Who Must Be Obeyed wasn't easy. admits Marion. She felt a great responsibility to Peggy Thorpe-Bates, who previously played the character. Marion was also apprehensive about whether she would fit in with the successful, tightly-knit Rumteam. 'But Fve been made to feel so welcome,' she says, 'that I feel as though I'm one of the family now.'

Grapplers such as The Iron Sheik, Brutus Beefcake, King Kong Bundy and Hulk Hogan cut their English counterparts — Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks — down to size. On Saturday ITV presents, for the first time, American wrestling, featuring Hulk Hogan (pictured). Standing 6ft 8in and weighing 3031b, the man known to his fans as 'The Hulkster' has held the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight title since 1984, when he beat Iran's feared Iron Sheik. During that match, in New York's Madison Square Garden, he became the first wrestler to free himself from the Sheik's infamous 'camel clutch'.

They hit it off immediately. Says Thaw: 'I read two of the books when I was asked to do the series, and liked them because they had good characters. You can see them in your mind.' Dexter adds: 'John Thaw has the right sensitivity for Morse. a sort of melancholy. world-weary man who's seen it all before.' •

ITV) about the inhabitants of the town of Tickle, situated on the River Turn. The veteran comedienne, pictured above with Tickle presenters Jacqueline Reddin and Ralph McTell, appears in this week's story as policewoman Connie Caper. Joan is best known for the delightfully daft characters she has portrayed over the years in dozens of British films. so you might think that the role of upholder of the law was something new for her. 'Oh. no,' says Joan. 'I played a policewoman years ago in Carry On Constable [1960] and again in The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins [1971], where I directed traffic.' .

A Little Princess: Sunday, IN

The making of a ppor little nth girl by Adrian Fumess

The sights and sounds of V ictorian London are re-created for ITV 's new series 'A Little Princess, which stars A melia Shankley as Sara Crewe (left), a 'princess' who becomes a pauper.

Nigel Havers is Carzisford, the only one who can save Sara from a life of misery.

Maureen Lipman plays Miss Minchin, who puts Sara to work as a skivvy.

Miriam Margolyes is Miss Amelia, who lives in awe of her sister, Miss Minchin. London at the turn of the century was a splendid place to be )-% a rich little girl, and a truly terrible place to be poor, as Sara Crewe discovers in the classic children's story A Little Princess, to be told in six episodes beginning this Sunday on ITV. Ten-year-old Sara lives in India with her wealthy, doting father, Captain Crewe. Sent back to London to attend Miss Minchin's Select Academy TVTIMES 17-23 January 1987

for Young Ladies, she arrives in a grand carriage, has her own apartment, a wardrobe of furs and silks and a French maid. Then comes tragedy, and Sara quite suddenly finds herself alone in the world and penniless. The vicious Miss Minchin puts her to work as a skivvy, serving the girls who used to envy her. Through it all Sara shows she is made of The Right Stuff, and is her father's 'Little Princess', who doesn't cry in front of the troops. To call the series heartrending is putting it quite

mildly. It's spectacular, too, played out against a recreated Victorian London of clip-clopping cabs, barrel-organs, penny stalls and ragged urchins. Written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy, the story was first published in the 1880s as an immensely popular magazine serial, became a stage play and was then issued as a novel in 1905. In 1939 it was filmed with Shirley Temple as The Little Princess. When London Weekend Television set out to make

its series, the first task was to find a child who could carry the central role â&#x20AC;&#x201D; someone who could be endearing but not cloying. One evening, producer Colin Shindler and director Carol Wiseman went to a screening of the 1985 film Dreamchild about the real Alice of A lice in

W onderland. As they watched, a luminous young face filled the screen, and Shindler gave Miss Wiseman a huge nudge in the ribs. 'That's our girl,' he said. She was Amelia Shankley, now 14 years old

and a pupil at the Arts Educational Trust school. Amelia grew up in the theatre. Her father is actor Jeff Shankley, who is appearing in the London musical Time, and her mother is choreographer Virginia Mason. 'I have been around theatres ever since I was a baby,' says Amelia, who made her stage debut four years ago playing a mouse, a mermaid and a Chinese girl in a London Festival Ballet production of The

Nutcracker. To play Sara she had to

Those costumes were for Sara's rich times. 'We show my descent into misery in four stages,' says Amelia. And in the fourth stage I end up with bags and spots all over my face, and grease and gel on my hair. 'It's disgusting, but I tolerate it.' There speaks a trouper.

Amelia Shankley's first screen role — in 'Dreamchild' (1985), about the real Alice of 'Alice in W onderland' — led to her being chosen for ITV's 'A Little Princess'.

the book of A Little Princess and cried her eyes out. A more surprising fan of the story is the elegant Nigel Havers, who plays Captain Crewe's friend Carrisford, the one person who can rescue Sara from her misery if only he can find out where she is. 'It was among my favourite books when I was a child,' he says. 'It is such a very Victorian story, with real Victorian villains' The worst of these is Miss Minchin, played with mean gusto by Maureen Lipman, who says: 'I remember reading the story to my daughter Amy, who is very fond of it but thinks that Sara is too goody-goody. Nowadays children have a more realistic view of wicked stepmothers and nasty

children, and know people don't behave all-good or all-bad. 'In terms of sheer unmitigated nastiness, Miss Minchin takes quite a bit of beating. I try to like the people I play but it's hard to find any redeeming feature for her.' Maureen says all this in a slightly breathless, tightlipped way, due to the waist-nipping corsets she has to wear as Miss Minchin. 'One day during filming I lunched on steak and chips and nearly fainted,' she says. 'No wonder our grandmothers went around having the vapours all the time: In the series Miss Minchin's sister Amelia is played by Miriam Margolyes, 'the prodigious Miriam Margolyes', as Maureen calls her, 'The two of us look like a cruet when we walk round together. Miriam must have the shortest neck since Fred Flintstone and mine is about seven feet long, so where she stops, I start. It is an inspired piece of casting.' The two of them come over as a sort of double-act ('Lipman and Margolyes, the Jewish solicitors') and on set the drama is frequently interrupted by peals of laughter. 'What I try to do is bring a little joie de vivre into it all,' says Maureen. 'It's difficult with children. Obviously they have to take everything seriously, and filming can be intense and heavy. But my fundamental belief about surviving in this business is that if you can't have a laugh about it, then get out. 'Amelia is so nice and so clever, technically. and she looks wonderful on camera. You watch her and think, there is a girl who will be around for a very long while.' Amelia grins up from the floor of the studio, where she is on her knees scrubbing Miss Minchin's floor. 'Sara was treated: wrote Frances Hodgson Burnett, `as if she was nobody's concern, and her heart grew proud and sore, but she never told anyone what she felt. ' "Soldiers don't complain," she would say between her small, shut teeth. "I am not going to do it; I will pretend this is part of war." ' 17-23 January 1987 TVTIMES

Rumpole of the Bailey: Monday, ITV

Rumpole's court drcul ar Being the story of 24 hours in the life of Horace Rumpole, mainstay of the Old Bailey and dutiful husband of She W ho Must Be Obeyed. Carefully considered words by Jane Ennis (with apologies to Rumpole's creator, John Mortimer).

Little did I think when I. Horace • Rumpole, barrister at law and Old I Bailey hack, took up my pen during a regrettable lull in crime to chronicle some of the triumphs and disasters of a career spanning half a century at the Bar, that my poor tales would be turned into a series for television or that I would become a celebrity. A Personality. A Real Character. During that long literary summer when all the villains were away on the Costa Brava, my ambitions were modest. I hoped only to augment a pension that services my everincreasing tick at Pommeroy's Wine Bar and a dwindling lease on my flat at 2a Froxbury Mansions, Gloucester Road. And even littler did I think — not even in my wildest musings — that I would be asked to write an account of a typical Rumpole day for that august publication, The Television Times. Having progressed no further than the wireless, I am not what you might call a regular reader of that journal. but I gather I shall be sharing space with such luminaries as Katie Boyle and that my humble affairs will be recorded alongside the doings of pop stars and quiz masters. For those impatient for every spicy detail, I can reveal that Monday morning dawns at Casa Rumpole, those chill quarters served only by a meagre gas fire, where I awake to find my wife Hilda (known to me in awe as She Who Must Be Obeyed) already busy banging pans together and liberally sprinkling around the Vim on which she delights in spending so

much of my hard earned cash. I sneak out of the flat, avoiding the bird-seed breakfast which Hilda has taken to serving and the details of some social obligation of which she is trying to remind me, and I stroll to Gloucester Road Underground, my old mac flapping in the wind. I emerge from my molelike journey at Temple Underground Station, • where I collect my reserved copy of the dayold News of the W orld, that great chronicle of crime and punishment in which Rumpole has often featured especially during my greatest case, the 'Penge Bungalow Murder' where I gained an acquittal alone and without a leader; since She Who Must Be Obeyed does. not share my respect for this organ's investigative style, I find it wiser to enjoy it extra-murally. I also buy a copy of The Times, mainly for the crossword and obituaries. My next stop is for breakfast in a café opposite the Law Courts in the Strand. In former days this establishment was called the ABC and was a place where I could exchange what can only be described as 'flirtatious banter' with a copperhaired girl behind the tea urn. It now delights in the name 'The Light Bite'. The urn is no more. Tea is produced by squirting hissing water on to a bag placed inside a stainless steel teapot and milk comes in little plastic cartons. For some reason, the waitresses there feel the need to dress in orange and red check and to wear straw boaters. The clientele is, however, much the same. Printers who have been up all night, over-eager jurors and a few banisters in retreat from muesli and

wholemeal bread provided at home. Leaving my tea bag to steep for as long as possible, I grapple with the tortured brain behind The Times crossword while downing my fried slice, egg, bacon and sausage and stoking my body with the cholesterol on which it seems to thrive. Next I pop into my chambers at Dr Johnson's Buildings to see if there are any briefs for me on the mantelpiece. Unfortunately, there are none. I go to my room, plonk myself down on a rickety chair beneath my 'Spy' cartoons of forgotten judges and hope that our head of Chambers, Guthrie Featherstone, MP, QC, has abandoned his plan to bring us in to the 20th century with computers and venetian blinds. A visit to the Old Bailey seems in order. I'm involved in a fairly decent 'carrying housebreaking instruments by night' case with a member of the Timson family — a clan of London villains whose careers have provided me, via legal aid cheques, with many a drinkable claret and Hilda with many a canister of Vim. An Old Bailey hack has to spend much of his time in the cells underneath that building. Here, the predominant smell is of cooking from the endless snacks which the warders prepare for themselves. I find young Jim Timson in thoughtful mood and warn him that ignorance is no defence. He insists that he doesn't know how a bag of housebreaking tools got on to the back seat of his black BMW motor car that night. It's now time for lunch and I stroll over to El Vino's. What can I say in defence of this venerable

institution, second only in my affections to my regular wine bar, Pommeroy's? It is still a bastion of the male establishment little affected by a decade of Women's Liberation. Females are tolerated only so long as they sit in a small area set aside for their use. Men who are not wearing a tie and suit jacket are asked to leave. Thus Rumpole, wearer of a shabby black jacket and a waistcoat covered in ash and egg, owner of a hat which has been described as a 'disgrace to the legal profession', is considered to be sartorially correct. I order a bottle of Chateau Fleet Street and settle happily in this peaceful oasis between the battles of the Bailey and the horrors of Home Life. After lunch, half remembering some instructions from She Who Must Be Obeyed, I make my way to Paul's continued on page 12

The Light Bite Breakfast and The Times' crossword. A nourishing start and intellectual stimulation for the inner man.

Annekces Lancashire hot-spot BLACKPOOL HAS given its name to holidaymaking. Its unique. Not just the Tower, the Golden Mile or the three piers with their star summer shows. Not the trams or the sevenmile promenade. Nor is it 'white knuckle rides, which tumble-dry you round the Pleasure Beach or donkeys on the sands. It is not even the sands. Perhaps the fact that Blackpool does not have guaranteed sunshine has something to do with it. It has always had to offer something more. Anneka Rice, who reports from the resort on W ish Y ou W ere Here. . .? on

ITV, Monday, noticed it when she arrived to film at the Pleasure Beach. 'The whole place is so highspirited,' she says. 'It doesn't matter that it's raining.' Think of anything you have ever read about holiday resorts and it will apply to Blackpool. The only difference is that in Blackpool, it happened first — nearly 200 years ago. That was when the seaside was starting to become fashionable. At the end of the 18th century, though, you did not go to the seaside to look at or enter the sea. but to drink it. Half a pint a day was the recommended dose. In 1846, the railways came to the resort — and with them Lancashire cotton workers in their

thousands and the beginning of the popular holiday. As early as the Twenties, Blackpool was getting seven million visitors a year, some on package holidays. A week's full board in a Blackpool hotel with a return ticket to London cost £7 14s 9d (£7.74). Meanwhile, Blackpool invested. The Tower — 518ft 9in and for a long time the tallest building in Britain — was built in 1894. Soon after World War One, £11/2million was spent on extending the promenade. Another £250,000 went on improving the Winter Gardens. In 1912, the first illuminations were switched on. Blackpool has recently been investing in itself again with the £16million indoor Sandcastle Centre. 'Like the rest of Blackpool, it is wall-to-wall entertainment,' says Anneka Rice.

What to do

Shopping Browse around the town centre shops or visit the under-cover Hounds Hill Shopping Centre behind the Tower.

Accommodation There are 200,000 beds in 3500 hotels, guest houses and furnished flats. Many offer off-season minibreaks. Two nights at a four-star hotel, for example, can be had for less than £60 per person for bed, breakfast and evening meal in winter, slightly more in spring. A whole week in summer high season costs around £200. Holiday flat rentals start below £50 per week in winter, £80 in summer.

Marsha Han/on

Rumpole's blessing on the villainous party-poppers continued from page 10 Hairdressers in Bishop's Court. Red-and-white pole outside, white tiles inside, this is a good old fashioned gentlemen's barber's where a chap can get a shave if he wishes. I recall with a shudder the time that Paul closed his shop for a month and I was forced to go elsewhere for a haircut. I sat next to a young solicitor with rollers in his hair and my hair was cut by a young woman in jeans and combat jacket. My next port of call is Weingott & Son in Fleet

Street — the famous cigar and wine emporium. Here I purchase my usual pack of budget cigars. I am annoyed by the sight of a young and smiling solicitor buying a boxful of topquality cigars and asking for a receipt. It reminds me that there is money to be made out of the law but that it is not to be earned by defending the Timsons of this world. I console myself by purchasing a rather superior bottle of bordeaux and return to my Chambers. I find to my horror that

everyone is gathered in the presence of our head of Chambers, Guthrie Featherstone. including his wife, Marigold, and my wife, Hilda. I remember that today is the Featherstone's wedding anniversary and that we have all been invited to join them at The Garrick Club for a celebration. Guthrie is regaling his audience with a dull tale about how he had to break into Chambers the night before. having misplaced his key, to pick up his passport in a hurry. An

uraent call to Brussels to

urgently at the Bailey and

discuss Common Market fishing rights. He returned to find that his black BMW motor car had been stolen from Heathrow Airport. I hear the telephone ringing in my room. It's Timson's solicitor. Timson now says he stole the car with the housebreaking tools on the back seat so that he could visit his sick aunty and asks if a sick aunty prepared to take the oath would be of any help. I say that she certainly would be. I tell my disappointed hosts that I am needed

notice that Guthrie is uncorking my bottle of bordeaux which he believes I bought as a gift. Hilda clicks her tongue and says she thinks I care more for the Timsons than I do for her. 'I think I know where your car is,' I tell a startled Guthrie as I take my leave. God bless the Timsons, the old darlings. They have sprung me from an evening at The Garrick Club, The least thing I can do to repay this kindness is to try to spring Timpson Junior from the nick. 17-23 January 1987 TVTIMES

HOLLYWOOD star Robert Wagner's

TV company, R J Productions, plans to make a film based on the short life of Samantha Smith, who became world-famous after she wrote a peace letter to former Soviet president Yuri Andropov. Wagner asked her to star in his TV series Lime Street. Then, she and her father were killed in a plane crash. Wagner sees his film as a tribute.

ACTRESS Barbara Babcock (above) is returning to Hill Street Blues (seen in Britain on C4) — but her sexy character, Grace Gardner, has been born again as Sister Charity, a nun who goes to the hill in a future episode to do good work. Barbara has already won an Emmy for her performances in the series. TELEVISION sleuth Angela Lansbury, star

of Murder, She W rote. has a tiny piece of England tucked away in Hollywood — her prize vegetable and flower garden. But she's been working such long hours that she couldn't do any weeding and pruning — it was too dark when she returned home. So husband Peter Shaw installed floodlights!

Welcome heroes Well done, C4, for screening the vintage American comedy series Hogan's Heroes I am only sorry that it is shown early in the evening, as its chirpiness would brighten up the day for adults, too. I would watch at midnight, given the chance. Lesley Abdela Potterne Wick Wiltshire

Capital idea I watched with interest the ITV Schools programme W hat Makes A Best Friend? The story was shown in script, which I thought an excellent way of telling children about the enjoyment of reading. What a pity the script was in capitals. At six or seven years old, when children learn to use capital letters, they are taught that they have a special place: for proper nouns, at the beginning of a sentence and the start of any piece of writing. What a pity the programme fell down on this matter. Mrs Muriel Reed Newport Gwent Producer/director Frank Kilbride says: `W hen we agree to use an author's published work on television, we not only use the words, but the actual artwork from the book. A liki, the author of "W e A re Best Friends", from which this story was taken, used this format,

is to the non - smoker. Deborah Brown Gillingham, Dorset,

Letates TVTimes 247 Tottenham Court Road London W1P OAU as you will see if you get it from your library. If you feel strongly about this, perhaps a line to the publishers — The Bodley Head, 30 Bedford Square, London W C1B 3RP — might be the answer.'

Unsung Elvis In a TVTimes feature entitled 'The Lennon Years', I was dismayed to see that no mention was made of Elvis Presley's death in 1977. This is not the place to argue the one's supremacy over the other, but both Lennon, whose life was featured in ITV's The South Bank Show and Presley were acknowledged innovators in the development of pop music. Presley's death must surely have been a sad milestone in that particular year. J Ttompson Leeds West Yorkshire

Oswald on trial Congratulations to C4 for screening The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald Intense action in the

courtroom, coupled with excellent footage of the accused and the victim, John F Kennedy, made it a pleasure to watch. Mr S J Chappell Chepstow, Gwent What was the point of screening The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald? Everyone knew the verdict would be guilty. What else? If the jury pronounced Oswald innocent, who on earth could the blame be pinned on? What an uproar there would have been if he had not been condemned. I doubt if we shall ever know whether Oswald's death was part of a cover-up. Ms A F Harte (aged 17)

Misplaced views A reader's letter referring to the ITV children's programme Splash which was about battery hens, makes me feel that your readers would do better to turn their indignation and charitable intentions to human beings, who have feelings and intelligence, which we are unwise to assume that hens share.

Seven-day super holiday offer

Sunny omania for only £179 IT IS still possible in 1987 to enjoy a super weeks beach holiday in glorious sunshine, with full board accommodation, for less than £200. This bargain is available at Mamaia on Romania's sunny Black Sea coast, with a week's holiday costing from just E179, and two weeks from £209. Prices include return flights from Gatwick or Manchester, plus all meals — and we guarantee no currency surcharges. This is exceptional value and represents a real effort by the Romanian tourist authorities to attract British holidaymakers back to the superb beaches of the Black Sea coast. The area fell into disfavour two years ago when the Romanian government was forced to impose energy cuts which effectively left

some tourists in the dark. There are still restrictions on the use of electricity, but now restaurants and bars stay open until 10.00pm and several clubs and discos until midnight. If you accept that nightlife does not continue into the early hours, the holiday is extremely worthwhile. There is the convenience of flights from both Gatwick and Manchester to Constantza, with a coach journey of 30 minutes from the airport to Mamaia. Both the hotels we offer — the Junona and the Dorna — are very close to the beach. Guests are accommodated in comfortable twin-bedded rooms, all with balcony and private shower and WC. Facilities at both hotels include a restaurant, bar and shops, The Junona has no swimming pool, but guests may use the large pool and children's paddling pool of the Dorna next door. The beach itself is a

wide expanse of silvery sand shelving gently into the warm, tideless Black Sea. Wild olive trees border the beach, providing shade during the hottest part of the day. The resort of Mamaia is Romania's No 1 seaside playground with shops, bars, cafes, clubs and discos. Sporting attractions include tennis, mini-golf and horse-riding. You can visit the dolphinarium, enjoy folklore shows and indulge in wine-tasting, and there is a programme of optional extras. Also available is a twocentre holiday, with one week in Mamaia and one week in Poiana Brasov at the foot of the Carpathian mountains — from £259. Departures are every Saturday from 16 May to 19 September 1987. For full details, telephone our diala-brochure service on Leicester (0533) 559855 or complete and post the coupon below. ABTA No 47026 ATOL 133.

Enjoy a real bargain break at Mamaia, a leading Black Sea resort. Both our hotels, the Dorna, above, with pool, and the junona, left, are by the glorious sandy beach.

The Great Gatsby: Monday, C4

is Farrow, with her fragile, vulnerable appearance — a look that has hardly changed in more than 20 years as an actress — will be 42 next month. On Monday, the clock is turned back 12 years as she plays Daisy opposite Robert Redford as The Great Gatsby (C4). An actress of some considerable reputation, enhanced in recent years by her professional and personal relationship with America's leading 'serious' film-maker Woody Allen (she is currently making her sixth film with him), Mia has reached a point where everything seems to be going well. Her air of vulnerability is still there, but she has proved that there is no need for men to go weak at the knees and declare they S want to protect her. She is really quite tough. With Allen, their 'happy 2p involvement' allows a certain independence, Mia Farrow and W oody Allen share a life both off screen and on. which may be why they work together so successfully. He says: 'She's a thoroughly professional actress who's not at all wispy and incapable as people used to think. She was always a perfectly fine actress and genuinely talented. She just didn't take acting seriously when she was married and raising children. 'She runs a home and has seven children, who she shepherds around wherever she goes. She cooks and cleans and still looks beautiful when she goes out in the evening. S Anyone who can do that has to be strong and independent.' Determined to guard her Mia Farrow with her relationship and that privacy, Mia is Mia as Daisy in Monday's nevertheless happy to talk mother, actress Maureen Sinatra was an honourable romantic film drama 'The about her children and, O'Sullivan, and three of man. Great Gatsby', on C4. The her seven children. even now, about her much picture, made 12 years The surprise wasn't the Fletcher, in front of her, is sentiments; it was that she publicised marriages with ago, captures her air of the youngest of three sons had commented at all.

twin sons Matthew and Sacha. Four years later they had another son, Fletcher, and then adopted three girls, Lark Song and Summer Song from Vietnam and Soon Yi from Korea. The seventh child is a Korean boy, adopted after Mia was divorced from Previn in 1979. She says she is still friends with Previn and that he is part of the family when he comes to visit the children, but admits it is not an ideal situation. 'I know they miss their father and it's better if there are two parents. It would be helpful for me, too, to have someone to share things with. But they are very close to Woody and I'm glad about that. He's there for them in important ways. Whenever they want to see him he's available.' Allen is very gracious about this role. 'They're exceptionally pleasant children, who are easy to get along with, Of course, Mia does all the heavy work. I just skim off the cream since I see them at their best.' With Allen she has made A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982), Zelig (1983), Broadway Danny Rose (1984), The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and the 1986 triumph Hannah and Her Sisters. This latter work has brought her high praise. 'Woody was the first to offer me an opportunity to appear differently from the way I originally was seen,' she says. 'At first, it didn't seem so different: it was the same struggle to do the job, the usual amount of selfdoubt. 'But with each film I grew more confident — and this continues. He knows what's right and we work until we get it right. I'm still tremendously insecure and I still get terrified, but I no longer get hives [nettle rash] or tremble. I'm happy working with him as long as he wants me to.' Apart from her next movie with Allen, Mia Farrow is working with director James Ivory (of A Room with a V iew fame) and filming on the outskirts of New York. Again she will not be far from her beloved family. 'I can't get over what a wonderful life we have together. The days are very rich.' So is her career.

Cilia's well TM NOT THE world's greatest cook,' says Cilla Black whose new series of Surprise Surprise begins on Sunday. But I .2 do lay a beautiful table, with lace napkins, silver cutlery and a lovely floral centrepiece. Guests take one look and imagine they're in for a treat! 'Not being able to cook annoys me. I always put 150 per cent effort into everything I do, but I can't crack cooking. I'd rather perform in front of 20 million viewers than invite six people to dinner!' In fact, Cilla maligns herself. Her choice for a three-course dinner party would probably be potted shrimps, roast lamb with fresh vegetables from the garden, followed by melon and kiwi-fruit salad — a simple but delicious meal. Tm quite good at tarting things up,' she says. 'I buy shrimps already potted, of course, turn them out and garnish with a bit of lemon and parsley. I do believe presentation is half the battle!' Cilla has something most women would envy, though — a husband who cooks. Bobby Willis used to be a Liverpool baker and confectioner. 'I went into the business as a cook on a ship because I thought it was a way to see the world,' he says. 'I used to make fruit cakes and tarts. I'm good at shortcrust, puff pastry. and hot water crust for pork pies.' 'We've just had a fantastic new kitchen installed,' says Cilia, 'all black and white, with grey marble. There's an amazing cooking range, with hobs, a deep-fat fryer and a barbecue: But Bobby's pride and joy is the butcher's block, where he prepares the meat. Cilia says: 'Our children are at the age where they drift in and out at all times. Robert is 16, Ben is 12, and Jack is five. The only day I really insist we eat together is Sunday. We tend to have a lie-in on Sundays, and it's Bobby who gets up and prepares all the vegetables. Then I roast the meat and make the pudding. 'In fact, our Robert takes after his dad. He loves cooking — and he's very adventurous. He's into pancakes at the moment. Does them every way, with all kinds of sauces and stuffings. 'The only thing I'm really good at,' she says, 'is steamed pudding. When Frankie Howerd comes to stay, we always have Spotted Dick, his favourite. We used to cook lamb, too, but he got fed up with always having that. Now he rings up in advance and places his order!' Bobby loves oriental cooking, and he'll cook Peking Duck for a treat. 'It's delicious,' says Cilla, 'and all the more special because it's a surprise!' Jill Cox

What the stars hold for you this week

Aries

Gemini

Leo

21 March-20 A pril There are some crafty, treacherous folk around, so watch your back this week, otherwise you could find yourself being hung, drawn and quartered by so-called friends. Keep your wits about you and don't get involved with any spurious schemes you'll come to regret.

Libra

22 May-2I June You decide to adopt a more expansionist policy at a time when your mind is being opened up to new faces and places. If you're choosing your holiday destination or somewhere new to visit, then go for a place laden with culture, charisma or opportunities for creative exploration.

24 July-23 A ugust Astrologically your opposite sign offers you what you lack in your own make-up; for you, Aquarius is that polar sign giving you insight into relationships.. To strengthen yours it's important to communicate fluently and openly to ensure a healthy partnership.

Sagittarius

24 Sept-23 Oct As quick as a flash Mercury and the Sun zip into Aquarius and awaken your creative powers, natural aptitudes and amorous intentions as a result. It's up to you to cultivate your talents and skills so you can demonstrate to the world what a clever individual you are.

23 Nov-21 Dec If your daily routines have become restrictive ruts then you'll do your best to liven up the proceedings by changing your surroundings. The coming weeks will be extremely newsy and busy, with many decisions being made and choices being posed.

Taurus

Cancer

21 A pril-21 May One by one the planets pile into the higher reaches of your horoscope, leaving you desperate to make an impression on the world at large. Your ambitions are awakened and you are filled with an ardent desire to achieve success and aspire to great things.

Virgo

22 June-23 July To analyse and organise your private life is the task in hand. Although more intimate areas, such as your sex life, could come into it, the more practical side needs your dedication in sorting out your finances. You may well have dealings with the Inland Revenue.

Scorpio

24 A ug 23 Sept To be of service to others is something that comes naturally to you. You're quite happy to organise other people's lives or help them to the detriment of your own welfare. That's fine as long as you realise that others must eventually learn to help themselves and not rely on you.

Capricorn

24 Oct-22 Nov There's a lot of movement and activity in the domestic region of your horoscope which will bring many changes — from moving house to making the most of your current abode. Be wary of those double-dealers who cleverly practise the art of deception upon the unsuspecting.

Pisces

22 Dec-20 Jan The financial and economic state of your world is under the scrutiny of prosperous Sun and commercial Mercury. This will be prodigious for all monetary matters, but also advantageous for any investments or for acquiring prestigious possessions

20 February-20 March It's the beginning of a period in which you must take the back seat in the circus of life, but that doesn't mean you should remain inactive. It's just that your spiritual and emotional energy is somewhat lacking, so you need to restore your strength in these sensitive areas.

Aquarius 21 Jan-19 Feb Without sounding selfish or conceited, it's time for you to come to terms with personal issues or plans. You are imbued with a vitality and creative confidence that should be expressed in many eloquent, articulate and unique ways. Put self-interest first for once.

under the noses of more fancied nominees. Other Oscar nominations went to the film itself, Tom Rickman for his screenplay, cinematographer Ralf D Bode and to the editor and art directors. The direction of Britain's Michael Apted is exemplary in its feel for time and place, and Tommy Lee Jones provides fine support as Lynn's unfeeling husband, the driving force behind her fortunes. If the film glosses over some of the less savoury aspects of the true story — drugs, nervous breakdowns etc — the treatment is in keeping with Spacek's wholesome portrait of the singing mum. She can be my number one lady of country and western any day. 1980 TV version

Smile Orange C4, 11.55pm-1.35am

A sort of Jamaican Carry On W aiting, awash with homespun philosophy and agonisingly overplayed, but interesting as an early mainstream film from the West Indies. Carl Bradshaw plays the opportunist hero of whom the singing commentary declares that 'Ringo Smith is his name and survival is his game.' Enough said. 1974

SUNDAY The Creature from the Black Lagoon C4, I1.00pm-12.25am

This horror shocker created quite a stir when it first came out, and the initial appearance of its monster — one scaly claw clutching at the

shore on emergence from the water — is a splendid piece of stagemanagement by director Jack Arnold (who made Tarantula! and The Incredible Shrinking Man in the same period). Julie Adams, in unscientific brief shorts, is a screaming heroine in the most vulnerable tradition of Fay Wray. Ricou Browning, who plays the 'creature', later became a specialist in underwater direction — on such diverse entertainments as Thunderball and Flipper. 1955

MONDAY Barefoot in the Park ITV, 1.30pzn-3.25pm

A spicy, dry and often hilariously-scripted comedy about two

honeymooners. It achieves both warm, human relationships, and comic lines that are set against one another with precision balance, never overloading the laughs, but rattling them out at a consistent pace. "I think I'm going to be a lousy wife,' Jane Fonda tells Robert Redford at the door of their honeymoon hotel. 'But I'm very sexy.' After six days and nights, he's convinced. 'I have to go to work,' he gasps, staggering out on the seventh. 'I don't do this for a living.' Alas in their new flat (top floor) comes the dawn. The radiator won't radiate, the bed (to Jane's horror) fails to arrive for the first night and snow comes through the skylight. It's a film cocktail from the pen of prolific Neil Simon that never fails to sparkle. 1967 continued overpage

The Great Gatsby C4, 8.30pm-11.00pm

About every 25 years, the cinema takes it into its head to have a go at Scott Fitzgerald's almost unfilmable story about the mysterious millionaire living in his Long Island mansion, staring out at the Sound and looking destiny enigmatically in the face. Successive generations of bland charmers — Warner Baxter in 1926, Alan Ladd in 1949 and Robert Redford here — have attempted the title role. The direction and production design perfectly capture the flavour of the post-World War One period in which the film is set, but tend to make the film so rarefied as to squeeze the life force out of it, so that the excellent supporting performances of Karen Black, Bruce Dern, Sam Waterston and Scott Wilson are seen in isolation rather than as part of a whole. You'll also spot Howard Da Silva, who was in the 1949 version before being blacklisted for alleged Communist connections. Scott Wilson has Da Silva's old role this time. The costumes and set decorations are 1974 breathtaking.

TUESDAY The Man with Two Faces C4, 2.30pm-3.45pm

Entertaining yarn which gives Edward G Robinson a chance to show his versatility. He's an actor determined to rid his beloved sister (Mary Astor) of her fiend

of a husband — played by Louis Calhern before he became known for more avuncular roles. Briskly directed by Archie Mayo, who wastes no time in unreeling the quite complex plot, which is based on a stage hit called The Dark Tower. 1934

Parole C4, 9.00pm-10.50pm

German-born Michael Tuchner made his reputation in British television, first with a series of documentaries and later with such acclaimed dramas as Barmitzvah Boy and The One and Only Phyllis Dixey, having made his feature film directorial debut with Villain in 1971. Here he handles the tough story of parolee Mark Soper (who emerges from jail after three-and-a-half years of appalling experiences) and his relationship with parole officer James Naughton with skill and assurance. And he makes first rate use of the Boston locations, attractively photographed by Laszlo George. TVM 1982

WEDNESDAY Forsaking All Others C4, 2.30pm-4.00pm

Joan Crawford gets a rare chance to lean to the lighter side (even at this early stage of her career she was seen mainly in heavy stuff) with some broad slapstick moments — which she handles very well — in this romantic comedy-drama which cast Joan opposite her

The Herd C4, 10.00pm-12.10am

This begins a season of films by Yilmaz Giiney, the Turkish director who suffered bans, censorship and even imprisonment in his native country while his films were being acclaimed abroad. Gtiney died young in 1984, but left behind a legacy of abrasive, angry yet caring films: The Herd is both a story of sheep herders and a plea for political change. It was par for the course for its director that the only cinema in Istanbul that dared to show it was closed down after a 1978 bomb attack.

THURSDAY House of Strangers C4, 2.30pm-4.20pm

Dynamic drama, told in the flashback form much favoured at the time, about a father's suffocating influence on his several sons. The style of the film makes it seem like a sort of 1

To the Ends of the Earth C4, 5.00pm-7.00pm

Another great RKO thriller from the Forties: suspenseful, brilliantly lit and photographed, grittily acted and with a splendid twist at the end. Dick Powell holds the whole thing together with strength and great skill as the agent who pursues a narcotics ring halfway around the world. But don't go out to make the tea or you may lose the thread of the cleverly-plotted 1948 story.

Solidarity, penned by Czech-born playwright Tom Stoppard, Hill proves once more what an accomplished actor he really is. Why has Big Screen success eluded him to date? TV M 1983

The Marseille Contract ITV, 11.05pm-I2.40am

Despite the star presence of Michael Caine, Anthony Quinn and James Mason, and occasional flashes of directorial splendour from Robert Parrish, this is a largely routine thriller about a cop who hires a killer to assassinate a narcotics king. Caine (a likeable killer) and Quinn (the cop) give unusually relaxed performances, Mason offers a casual portrait of evil suavity and Alexandra Stewart has warmth as Quinns mistress. An early chase with three assassins after Quinn in a vast deserted station is eye-catching stuff, but nothing that follows quite matches it. 1984

Squaring the Circle

FRIDAY 23 January Nobody Runs Forever

C4, 9.30pm-11.25pm

ITV, 1.30pm-3.25pm

Having won fame and universal acclaim for his prizewinning performance as headbanger Yosser Hughes in Boys from the Blackstuff, Bernard Hill put on a stone in weight to portray Lech Walesa, leader of Poland's Solidarity movement. In this gripping drama about the emergence of

After 12 years of Hollywood stardom, Rod Taylor had to revert to his native Australian accent in this thriller about a detective trying to foil an assassination bid. You'll spot Franchot Tone, in his last film, and, maybe, Leo McKern (unbilled) as the Premier of New South Wales. 1968

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde C4, 10.30pm-12.30am

Fredric March's Oscar for the 1931 version of the classic horror tale has undeservedly overshadowed Spencer Tracy's performance in this early Forties remake. Using a minimum of make-up, Tracy achieves the maximum in horror in the transformation scenes with a combination of lighting and facial expression. At first set to play the roles in reverse, Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner decided to play the bad and good girls respectively. But their decision was ill-advised — even to beat typecasting — for each had so much to offer the 1941 other role.

Hung Fu II ITV, 12midnight-1.40am

There's rather a lot of slow-motion fighting in this recent film spin-off from the 1972-75 Kung Fu series, with David Carradine once more reprising his role as the fighting mystic. And squaring up against him as a hypnotised assassin is Brandon Lee, son of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee, in his professional acting debut. There are also a lot of flashbacks, which give the chance to bring back several people from the original film and series, particularly Keye Luke as Carradine's mentor and Benson Fong, here billed as Old One but earlier known as Han Fei. Carradine had a big say in the production as coTVM 1986 producer.

Never mind the quality, see the width FROM COCKERMOUTH in

Cumbria, JB writes to ask what exactly was CinemaScope? (Note the capital S in the middle, an important part of the trademark.) CinemaScope was more or less what we now call PanaVision, a screen more than twice as wide as it is tall. At some point in the Sixties the patents seem to have been merged, and we no longer hear of the original. CinemaScope was originally the invention of a Frenchman, Henri Chrêtien, early this century. His brainwave was to photograph scenes through a Prof Henri Chretien: father of the wide-screen film.

prismatic lens, which squeezed them up sideways, and the resultant image was then projected through a reverse lens to produce a super-wide, CinemaScope image. The idea of the super._ 'wide screen was constantly but aside throughout the Thirties and Forties, when box-office returns were quite satisfactory. But when, in the early Fifties, television began to make inroads and 3-D proved not to be the answer, 20th Century-Fox trotted out the idea again. Directors as eminent as Fritz Lang dismissed CinemaScope as 'suitable for photographing snakes and funerals', NIGN.FIDELITY DIRECTIONAL VEREOPHONIC SOUND but once exhibitors -

had paid for the new screens they wanted to use them. Other companies developed their own similar processes: WarnerScope, SuperScope, HammerScope and something called CameraScope, a British imitation which used a lens with an annoying flaw in the middle. Unfortunately, the advent of CinemaScope coincided with an unsatisfactory new colour process called De Luxe, which film star James Mason said (accurately) made all films look like cheap colour advertisements in magazines. These days few people notice whether a film is in CinemaScope or not, since most screens have become wider than they were.

City Safari: Sunday, ITV

he impossibility of reasoning with wildlife makes natural history film-making a nerve-racking experience. What was required in the documentary series City Safari, which starts on ITV this Sunday, was a carrion crow's nest in the centre of town, next to a building which would provide a vantage point for cameramen. Obligingly, one crow flew off the roof of London Weekend Television's building with a twig in its beak and was seen, through binoculars, to cross the River Thames to join its mate in a plane tree in Embankment Gardens. We crossed Waterloo Bridge and ran into a nearby building, to be given a pliz7led but sympathetic reception by the people working there. It proved to be the ideal site from which a lens could peer into the nest. Crows are canny birds. Our pair clearly knew something was up. So they pretended to stop repairing the nest. Daily bulletins were

A kestrel kilLs, a fox watches and waits creatures that feature in ITV's 'City Safari'.

Hunting in the concreteiungle received from the offices next to the nest and observations were made from time to time. After a prolonged winter the crows eventually laid eggs and had young. But at the first attempt to film them, they flew off for two hours. Then it began to rain,

which is bad for filming. Without the expertise of zoologist and brilliant naturalist and wildlife Photographer Mike Birkhead and the cameramen in these circumstances, we would have been sunk. But we learned, got the crows, and the result is one of my

favourite film sequences. At the height of filming the most important programme on telly for us was the weather forecast. It was not always correct. It was particularly inaccurate on the day a sequence was to be filmed in Buckingham Palace Gardens. We had shot

some wildlife footage in the early mornings. Then an interview was needed - there are some in the series - with naturalist David McClintock. It was a Saturday and it was supposed to be sunny. With permission to take a picnic into the gardens. the production assistant Rima Neave prepared a royal spread. It rained all day and we ate lunch in the gardeners' canteen. But David remained cheerful and managed to give a spirited interview, even though his teeth were almost chattering with cold. People are terrific, I thought, and how nice it is to talk to someone who isn't intent on running away. I do love wildlife, and City Safari will show you how much there is in the most unlikely places in our towns but. . . there's something very special about People.

The Max Headroom Show: Tuesday, C4

011ie's enigma variations 0 by Stewart Knowles/pictures Roderick Ebdon

liver Reed is a maze of stylish contradiction who tells you he adores women but adds. some hours and several drinks later, that he prefers the company of men. He can be elegant. charming and witty. Or the kind of man you would expect to find at the centre of a bar-room brawl. Tuesday's star guest on C4's The Max Headroom Show is a jigsaw that defies completion. Either a few pieces have been deliberately left out or, as he prefers to put it, some of the colours have been changed to cause confusion. 'All the pieces are there, but bits of the sky I have coloured green instead of blue. It just makes it a little more complicated,' says Reed. Having just spent the best part of 12 hectic hours with him on Guernsey, where he lives with his 22-year-old wife Josephine, I cannot claim to be much nearer to solving the pi wzie. Being an enigma is for Oliver Reed one of life's continuing and unfailing pleasures - perhaps the one thing he can be totally sure about. Next month he is 49 - 'a time to reassess exactly what is happening in one's life' - and could well be the last in a colourful line of so-called hell-raisers. 'I think,' he says, 'the days of Burton, Harris, O'Toole and to a lesser extent Reed, are probably numbered. The people who used to be on our side, the old film moguls or the people with a sense of humour, are now dead or retired. The people who gave us jobs are not here any more.' In fact, although producers of live TV chat shows may regard his appearance as something

of a calculated risk, he continues to be employed. His 67th film, Castaway, has just been released and there are more to come. 'I decided a long time ago that if one was going to succeed with a minimum amount of talent, a private-school upbringing and a quackquack voice, one either had to pretend to be tough and outrage society or be just another actor.' In choosing the former course he says he has succeeded beyond all the bounds of possibility. He has become, to borrow a phrase, a legend in his own lunchtime. 'I am not too concerned what other people think. Not any more. Now I am coming up to 50 I still don't care, as long as I don't hurt people: Last November he appeared on Des O'Connor's live chat show and was asked about his unusual tattoo. 'I said a rude word and people didn't think that was funny. On the other hand, if you are asked leading and boring questions... But I am very sorry. All right, I made a mistake and I apologise.' For the past few years Oliver Reed has tended to duck publicity. 'I was going through a period of not actually talking to too many people. Maybe the male menopause accounts for all sorts of things. I went through a period of sincerely thinking of giving it all up and writing children's books and illustrating them with my own cartoons.' His wife Josephine they have been together since she was 16 - hopes he perseveres. 'He has such imagination. He could write brilliant children's stories,' she says. 'He has his pretend granddaughter and he takes her for walks and tells her wonderful stories about fire-breathing

Red-haired, piratically bearded, soberly suited, steely-eyed, avuncular, roguish - Oliver Reed.

dragons. I think he cannot wait to be a grandfather. Oh yes, we hope to raise a family of our own.' If the idea of Oliver Reed as a grandfather astounds you, consider him in the role of loving husband: 'He is very thoughtful,' says Josephine. 'Not that he would admit it. And romantic. I get a bunch of flowers every Friday with "I love you" written on the card. 'I had 'flu last week and was in bed for a couple of days. He arrived upstairs with a plastic bag filled with chocolates, cakes and tinned soup. 'When he made me the soup there was a lot of crashing and banging in the kitchen, but eventually he came up with the soup. It was very thick, but I ate it. I left it until the following day to tell him it was condensed soup and he should have thinned it. After that I got a Chinese takeaway supper. Josephine arrived at one of Guernsey's top hotels for the interview a little after her husband. Oliver Reed's own arrival was characteristically unconventional. One of his friends and drinking companions is local builder Arthur Blanchard, and Reed had accepted a lift in his truck. Looking more like a stockbroker than a rebellious actor, Reed had dressed in formal dark blue suit, white shirt and expensive silk tie. In marked contrast, the hair and beard were red left like that from the making of Castaway and kept like it because he is hoping soon to play Henry VIII in another film 'Yesterday you would have seen me looking like a Guernsey fisherman, but today I thought if this is

Oliver Reed with his wife Josephine and, above, a scene from 'Castaway', Reed's 67th film. going into TV:Times would wear a suit to please the grannies: With a drink from the bar - the days first in a varied and plenteous selection - Reed made himself at home. The hotel, in fact, had been his home for most of the past 10 years. He was living in the Channel Islands to avoid 'crippling' income tax and last July sold up in England and bought a house or. Guernsey. Hotel life, for Oliver Reed, was not without incident. 'I once jumped out of a first-floor window here into the swimming pool. The manager did the same when I offered him ÂŁ50. That was a previous manager, of course. Now I'm allowed to eat and drink here but, if I ever try to stay here, they say they are fuL: The managements reservations probably date back to 1984 when he was arrested following an argument in which a pane of glass was broken. Reed was fined for being drunk and disorderly. 'I was in prison for two nights.' He had a similar experience in an American ski resort in October 1981. That cost him a night in jail and a ÂŁ600 fine. A common denominator in all this, rather obviously, is drink. To make the film Castaway, in which for some scenes he appears totally or partially nude, he had to lose four stone in weight. Had he given up or cut down? Give up the booze? No, I'd never do that. I los: weight by drinking vodka and water and white wine; no potatoes, no bread, no butter, no fish and chips: Lunch demonstrates that the diet is over and produces the surprising fact that the

swashbuckling Oliver Reed is a keen gardener. Conversation continues in a selection of the islands bars while Josephine waits at home. Is it the right moment to ask about his attitude to women? He has, as someone who enjoys stressing his own contradictions, described himself as a male chauvinist who adores women. You people,' he says, the temperature rising a degree or two, 'pick these things out of your cuttings library. I was saying things like that 25 years agc. I used to say a woman's place was on her knees in the kitchen scrubbing the floor and doing my bidding. I really believed it. Now I believe that tc get my way I have to allow them to think they are correct in assuming they are equal.' We talk of love. Did he fall in love easily? 'No, with terrible difficulty.' This is only his third serious go at it. In 1960 he married Irish model Kate Byrne. They were both very young and it lasted 10 years. They have a son, Mark, who is now 26. The next 10 years were spent with South African dancer Jackie Daryl; they have a daughter, Sarah, now 18. The relationship with Jackie ended in 1980, and the following year. in Barbados, he holidayed with Josephine, who left school to be with him. His brother and business manager, David Reed, told the press: 'Yes, they re in love. The marriage, in September 1985, followed a proposal on his knees. 'It was outside the church in Sussex where Josephine's father and grandfather are buried: says Oliver Reed. 'It is,' he adds, 'right next door to the pub.'

New-look Damon takes to the stage Alan Kennaugh with the latest gossip from your serials

At last Mrs Bates shows who's boss IS THERE something in the Emmerdale Farm air that is starting a rebellion? First

Diana Davies in 1972 as Norma Ford in 'Coronation Street, and with Richard Thorp in 'Enunerdale'.

Seth Armstrong (Stan Richards) was clobbered and put in hospital. This week Alan Turner (Richard Thorp) - the character viewers love to hate - gets his come-uppance from his secretary, the long suffering Mrs Bates. She gives in her notice with some angry words. Says Diana Davies, who plays Mrs Bates: Viewers are always asking me to rebel against Turner. They wonder how any woman could work for such an awful man. I usually reply that I treat him like any five-year-old. Anyway, he's a cross between Pooh Bear and Genghis Khan.' Regular viewers may remember that

Diana was in Emmerdale Farm in 1975, playing Lettie Brewer. a battered housewife. Three years earlier. she appeared in Coronation Street as Norma Ford, a shop assistant with eyes for Ken Barlow (William Roache). The romantic interest was never returned and, when Barlow married Janet Reid (Judith Barker), Norma stonned off with the lines: 'I'm not stopping around to be humiliated.' Before Emmerdale three years ago, Diana starred in the London West End play Rose with Glenda Jackson. For the record, Diana and Thorp are the best of friends, and she is godmother to his baby girl, Emma Rose.

Honour satisfied FLAMING NORA! My postbag has been top heavy since I mentioned this Coronation Street phrase, much loved by Rovers Return bar person Jack Duckworth (William Tarmey, pictured) and Elsie Tanner in the serial. Who was Nora, the Dark Lady of the Street vernacular? Some explanations I have discovered for the phrase - used usually as an expletive - were weird and wonderful. The most interesting one claimed that Nora was short for Honoria, meaning honour. Therefore, the oath suggests that the speaker is swearing upon his honour, or on that of Honoria. The lady concerned was either St Honoria or St Honorata. both of whom suffered martyrdom at the stake. Well, Jack is always claiming that he is a martyr to wife Vera.

Simon O'Brien - taking time off from playing 'Brookside's' Damon.

June Stowe with her model of the Rovers Return and some of its famous personalities, past and present.

Shrinking after hours... THE hair-netted Ena Sharples lives on in the Rovers Return, along with Albert Tatlock, Elsie Tanner and Annie and Jack Walker. They are all in a Lilliput land in Southampton. Long-time Coronation Street fan June Stowe has a 26in-high model of the Rovers to stand alongside her collection of 21 dolls' houses in her model village. June, editor of the

International .Dolls' House News, always wanted a model of the Rovers, and commissioned one from Kevin Mulvany, of Surbiton, Surrey. 'I decided to people it with some of the original characters,' says June. A disabled lady, Dolly Robertson, of West Wickham, Kent, who has knitted dolls of many TV personalities, created the figures for the pub.

ACTOR Simon O'Brien, who plays the lighthearted. fun-loving Damon Grant in C4's Brookside. is about to undergo a personality chance. The Number One young soap opera pin-up, who receives 100 letters a day in fan mail, is being given time off from the serial to play his first stage role. O'Brien has just started a few weeks run in the teenage comedy Stags and Hens, by the Liverpool writer Willy Russell, at the Nottingham Playhouse In the play, he portrays a thoughtful, intelligent character called Kay. But his Brookside fans can relax The heart-throb of the serial will be back soon.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT NOVICES...

When they join they are known as novices — young men and women who have chosen to enter religious orders in the Roman Catholic Church. As novices they sample the life in the communities they have chosen. It's partly a matter of learning by experience, but also, some spend two days a week at St Wilfred's Convent in Chelsea. There they learn about the traditions of religious life, the Bible, prayer, and about themselves. With considerable openness, the novices reflect on deeply personal aspects of the choices they have made.

SOL HO -TELS

TVTIMES 17-23 January 1987

No, we're not trying to teach you Spanish, but these two simple words directed clearly and firmly at your travel agent will ensure you get more of a holiday. There's no need for the usual questions, like "What's the food like?:' "Are there any sports facilities?:' "Who'll look after the children?" and "What sort of nightlife is there?'.' Because with Sol hotels, you can be sure of the answers before you ask the questions. Our famous buffet meals for instance, where you can go back for as many helpings as you like. Our vast range of sports facilities that includes games like tennis and volleyball, archery and gymnastics. We've even our own team of professional babysitters to take care of the kids. So while you're having a ball in the disco or the cabaret, we'll prevent a bawl with our nursery or mini-club. (Bringing the kids also means valuable discounts on many Sol packages). Not surprisingly then, with more hotels in more areas of Spain than any other hotel group, you won't find better value anywhere. We're in all the major 1987 holiday brochures though. So next time you visit your travel agent, try putting a few words in his mouth: Sol, and Hotels. No. 1 in the Spanish sun.

Edward G Robinson and Richard Conte in 'House of Strangers': 2.30.

Now you can show back seat drivers the door. Often when the 5-door version of a popular 3-door car comes out, it somehow doesn't have quite the same appeal. Looks and lines tend to take a back seat when extra doors are squeezed in. Consequently. the design doesn't sit quite as comfortably as the passengers do. Unless of course they're sitting in a SEAT Ibiza 5-door. Because the car that has accommodated German Engineering as well as Italian Styling. was envisioned from the very start as a 3 and 5-door car. Not an easy concept to realise but the Ibiza's long wheelbase (the longest in its class) was the key.

It enabled us to enlarge and lengthen the rear doors to such an extent that they're a full 4'/4" longer at floor level than those on the 5-door Ford Escort, making getting in and out easier. So you can show your back seat drivers the widest access to a newly designed split

rear seat, with rear seatbelts. and 2" more 'knee-room than the Escort. You can also show them a 1.5 litre System Porsche engine.electric front windows.central locking. alloy wheels, low profile tyres and a high-power digital stereo radio cassette on the GLX. And all this for £1.715 less than the 5-door Ford Escort 1.4 Ghia. Not to mention £576 less than a smaller. slower, thirstier. less well equipped Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ghia (with only 3 doors to show for it). So the Ibiza's German Engineering, Italian Styling and Spanish Inspiration is made more accessible still. You can arrange a test-drive by calling 01-200 0200. Our doors are always open. '
