Snappy delivery from Bokim's milkman James Bolam, who plays Andy Capp in the new dramatisation of the cartoon character, starting this Monday on ITV, isn't renowned for having the easiest relations with the press - journalists and photographers alike.

When Neil Genower turned up to take our cover picture, he was already labouring under a disadvantage. No fault of his own, but he was running late - and Bolam, stomping away to his dressing room after a long session shooting outdoors on a football pitch, didn't hesitate to tell him so.

But what Bolam didn't know is that our man had a special claim on his attention. 'Do you still live in that same house?' asked Genower. 'Do you still drink at The Cricketers?'

Eight years ago, down in the West Sussex village in which Bolam still lives, Genower used to deliver the milk. A sixth-form student doing A-level photography, he was trying to get together the money to buy a few cameras.

'All I'd heard him say before was, "I suppose you want some money,"' says Genower. 'It was interesting to meet him professionally after that!' See page 4

CD ITV, Monday: Andy Capp

mect Reg me Andy man A ndy Capp, Britain's best-loved cartoon character, is corning to the screen in a new series which starts on ITV this Monday. Here, Sarah Grisiwood meets A ndy Capps creator, cartoonist Reg Smythe - and Jan Etherington talks to actor James Bolam, who plays TV 's version of the little man in the cloth cap

For out-of-work Andy, pi football's a great pastime. 'After all, he's a got plenty of free time 2. to practise,' says his creator Reg Smythe.

DIY is not Andy's strong point. He needs his rest. 'He has worked in the past, but he sprained his wrist clocking in,' explains Smythe

Aggravation between Andy and Flo is 'like a pantomime war; it's always forgotten by the morning.

On ITV, Flo is played

by Paula Tilbrook And it's not unknown for Andy's missus to have the last laugh ...as the cartoon strip and ITV's new series prove Capp in hand: cartoonist Reg Smythe (above) created Andy Capp more than 30 years ago. Now, the comicstrip character has 250 million readers worldwide

Back in 1957 when Andy Capp was born, in the northern edition of the Daily Mirror, the paper

didn't even think it would 'go' in the south. 'Andy was syndicated abroad before he was seen in London,' Smythe says.

Ten years ago, at 60, Smythe and his wife moved back to his home town of Hartlepool in Cleveland. He works from his living room there, sketching board on his lap, pencils and brushes in the fireplace by his side.

A shy man, he prefers to keep his own life out of the limelight - but he'll talk about his creation

until the cows come home.

Years ago, there may have been a brief spell when he resented standing in Andy's shadow. But now, the relationship between them is as steady as a long marriage. having Andy around, he says, is like being a celebrity without the bother of it.

Smythe was never the high-profile, high-flier you might expect to have created something as successful as the Andy Capp cartoons. The young . .

Smythe left school to go on the dole - unlike Andy, he says, he wanted to work, but this was the Thirties, and jobs were hard to find. Joining the Army, he spent 10 years in the ranks before World War Two pushed him up the ladder to sergeant.

It was only after demobilisation, working as a telephone clerk, that he started to draw, with no help or training at all. But talent will out. From the first batch of drawings he sent to publishers, Smythe

sold one to the now defunct Everybody's W eekly. 'A marvellous moment,' he says. He was up and away.

Smythe easily quotes the facts and figures that prove Andy's amazing success. And pretty memorable they are, too.

Andy Capp is syndicated to 1000 papers in the States, 1700 worldwide.

The strip goes to 51 countries outside the UK, is translated into 14 languages - and read by some 250 million people a 20-26 February 1988 TVT1MES

day. 'Rather intimidating,' Smythe says. 'I try not to think about it.

'A Turkish editor wrote and told me how Turkish Andy is. I always find it rather comforting to think that there's not much difference between Hartlepool and Ankara.'

Wives write in also, to say they recognise their husband in Andy. But how has the little man with the big fists changed over the years?

'I think maybe he's got a little more dependent. And TVTIMES 20-26 February 1988

I draw Flo a bit bigger now - she's begun to punch her weight,' says Smythe.

He has said that there are traces of his father in Andy, and that the mother who held the family together, Florrie Pearce, was the model for Flo. But the truth, he says, is that role models may not be that hard to find.

If you listen around town you'll find a lot of Andys. I knew a lot of them in London, too, and you'll find some of them

wearing bowlers instead of cloth caps. Men don't change. The only thing is that men of his age, men like him, are being slowly driven out. The pubs they go to are turning into wine bars.'

'And do you want to know what Andy thinks about going on television?' asks Reg Smythe. 'Well, he wonders why it hasn't happened sooner.

But when I told him he got so excited he almost bought a round of drinks.'

ou might think the only thing James Bolam has in common with that workshy chauvinist, Andy Capp, is a powerful northern accent. But, believe it or not, the cartoon character and the actor who brings him to life on the TV screen do share two great passions in life - horses and dogs.

The dogs Andy Capp admires tend to be on the skinny side and spend their working lives running round a greyhound track at the speed of light, while Bolam admits to being a life-long dog lover and owner. `They're a great comfort, dogs,' Bolam says. 'Just to squiggle their ears makes you feel better at the end of a long day. We have two dogs at home. One is a golden retriever, but work? She's never heard the word! She'd have a heart attack if you sent her out and told her to behave like a gundog! But she will do anything else you ask of her - lie down, shake hands. Her aim in life is to please you - and the tail wags all day. `Then we have a little dog from the Battersea Dogs' Home, who's divine.

Her mother was pure bull terrier, so she's not the prettiest animal in the world. When I went to the dogs' home her mother was there, too abandoned with two of her puppies. Isn't that sad?

She's called `Grenys'. She used to be called Glenys but we had a young visitor who couldn't quite

pronounce her name - so now she's Grenys!'

And horses? Well, here Bolam and Andy really are soulmates. Bolam is a horse-racing fan and carries the racing pages with him wherever he's filming. Although the closest Andy Capp is likely to come to a racing thoroughbred is writing its name on a betting slip, Bolam can claim to be a little more involved.

Tm still breeding from my mare, Credo's Daughter, who's 21 years old now. rve got another horse in training called Unique New York - great name, isn't it? Mind you, the best name I remember hearing was at Cheltenham. It was "Mind the Paint". It was wonderful to hear the commentator shouting "Mind the Paint along the rails!" ' The Andy Capp profile wouldn't be complete without a dangling dogend, but here they're worlds apart. Out of his role, you'll never find James Bolam with a cigarette in his mouth.

'I gave up five years ago, and when I first stopped I couldn't bear anyone smoking near me. I did put on a bit of weight, which doesn't help when you're filming because there are always huge meals with things like treacle tart and rhubarb crumble! You eat more when you're standing around, so I had to give up sugar and go to a health farm.'

That's not the kind of sacrifice you're likely to get from Andy Capp! Tiff

nightclub in Marbella.

Never one to turn down a challenge, especially in his new show Y ou Bet!, which starts on ITV this Saturday, Brucie found himself the subject of a wager from TVTimes that he daren't go into a bullring.

In the new series, a team of celebrities and

members of the studio audience place bets on whether challengers can perform certain feats. So, when we put our challenge to Brucie, naturally enough he said: `You bet!'

As the strains of an old Spanish bullfighting melody begin to lull Brucie into a false sense of security, he prepares for the arrival of the bull. With chin thrust forward, knee

bent with toe pointed, red satin cape aswirl and fingers crossed, 'El Bravo' is determined to put on a brave face.

Here, at the Hacienda de Toros, baby bulls are bred, not to fight, but to add historical national colour to an evening's entertainment.

Normally, Mariano, a six-month-old baby, is the friendliest of bulls - ideal for brave Brucie. But

not today. The gates burst open and in thunders Mariano, who has already taken a strong dislike to El Bravo. Is it the cape, the glint of terror in the eyes, or perhaps he's heard some of Brucie's jokes?

Whatever the reason, Brucie does the only thing he can - he shoots up the staircase, out of the bullring. But he wins the bet!

ire saving you , on your motor insurance we 11 give you a free trip down Memory Lane.

If you're over fifty and can remember when cars were cars, motoring was a pleasure and common courtesy on the road actually was common, we could have some good news for you.

It's called the Sun Alliance Motorist 50+ Plan. An exclusively designed insurance policy for careful drivers aged 50 or more.

Being so selective allows us to lower our rates to such an extent that the average saving for new policyholders is over £45 (nearer £50 actually) on their previous policies.

And now for the first time, we're giving away the lavishly illustrated 'British Family Cars of the Fifties' with every new policy.

A book to be treasured by anyone who was driving 30 years ago.

Are you eligible?

As we mentioned, you should be 50 or over. You should have at least 3 years' no-claim bonus. And you should be the careful owner of a family saloon or estate car which runs up a low annual mileage and comes under Groups 1-6.

What kind of policy is it?

A good one, which should be judged just as much by its cover as by its low cost.

Motorist 50 + is a 'Comprehensive Named Driver' policy with a £50 excess which helps us to keep premiums as low as we can. `Named Driver' simply means that we limit the cover to you and up to two other careful drivers aged 50 or more Whom you care to nominate.

There's one exception to the rule, however.

Your wife or husband may drive the car if they are under 50, providing they are over 35.

The policy will give you all the cover and benefits you expect from comprehensive policies, plus a few extras.

Such as a no-claim discount of up to 65%, transferable from your existing policy, emergency overnight accommodation and hire car charges.

Comprehensive policies as comprehensive as ours don't come along every day.

And even fewer can be as competitive.

A free quote without obligation.

We don't drive a hard bargain.

Simply fill in the coupon for a tailor-made quotation and just see if we can't save you money on your motor insurance.

Of course we can't guarantee the lowest premium but

❑ ITV, Saturday: Bobby Davro's TV Weekly

Bobby's battle of the bulge Bobby Davro, who begins a new series on Saturday, is a perfectionist. Jill Cox found him applying the same dedication to his diet

T

hough it's hard to believe, slimline Bobby Davro has a weight problem. Not so long ago, Bobby was dismayed to find the pounds had crept on and he'd acquired a

distinctly cuddly midriff. Easy enough to conceal, it's true, but with typical determination Bobby decided to do something about it.

He installed a gym in his home, for daily workouts, and started running

regularly. He also changed his diet.

Salads, fish, chicken and healthy breakfast cereals were in. Cakes and all fried foods were out. Except for one. `If there's one dish I adore,' says Bobby. 'it's huge prawns

with garlic and parsley butter. I can't resist them!

In fact, if you go easy on the butter, they're not so high in calories. And, in any case. a little of what you fancy never did anyone any harm!'

Davro's Delight Large juicy prawns with onions. garlic and parsley butter, flavoured with a hint of fresh ginger. Add more or less garlic, according to taste Serves 4 4oz/100g unsalted butter 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped 4 spring onions, trimmed and chopped 2tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional) 12 prawns salt and fresh ground black pepper 2tsp fresh parsley, chopped lemon quarters to squeeze over and for garnish Melt butter in a large. heavy-bottomed frying pan. Add garlic, spring onions and ginger, if using, and cook for lmin. Add prawns to the pan a few at a time and fry 2-3min each side. Season to taste.

Sprinkle over parsley and serve with pan juices poured over.

Garnish with lemon wedges.

Use only one set of measures.

Do not mix metric and imperial.

On your holiday, all the problems may be little ones. `Don't go near the water, Daisy, it's too deep.' `Keep away from the road, Lizzie, it's dangerous.'

Let OSL come to the rescue. A brief chat with our information desk will tell you all you need to know for a trouble-free stay at a villa or apartment.

If you're under six, OSL will make sure you're not out of your depth.

Ask us how deep the pool is. Whether the road outside is busy. Where you can find a baby-sitter in Menorca.

And then ask us more questions.

How far away is the nearest baby food stockist? Where on Crete can I buy disposable nappies? Is there a local doctor?

At OSL, we have a thorough knowledge of all villas and apartments. That's because villas and apartments are the only holidays we arrange.

Over the last 20 years we've helped prevent countless families from throwing themselves in at the deep end.

Our reps make all the difference. They live locally. The reports they write read like a surveyor's.

They cover everything from the availability of British Standard cots to the type of surface on the tennis court. (Didn't Steffi Graf wield her first racket at the age of two?)

❑ C4, Thursday: Conspiracy — The Trial of the Chicago 8

P4tting the Sixti on trial The summer of '68 saw riots in many W estern cities, with students protesting against the V ietnam W ar and the Establishment. This week's C4 dramadocumentary reconstructs the trial of eight revolutionaries after violence flared on the streets of Chicago.

Douglas Thompson traces the background to the trial and meets Elliott Gould and Martin Sheen, who appear in the programme and have vivid memories of those days when youth believed anything was possible

TOM HAYDEN, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Rennie Davis, David Dellinger, John Froines, Lee Weiner and Bobby Seale were all radicals who sought to change the world.

But President Richard Nixon believed he could stop the dissident movement spreading across America by charging the eight activists with conspiring to riot after violence in Chicago.

The story of how the Establishment collided head on with Youth, in one of the most memorable and absurd set-pieces of the Sixties, is recalled in C4's drama-documentary Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago a It was 1968, the year of unrest. The placards called for civil rights and American withdrawal from Vietnam. The target was authority. University sit-ins and demonstrations on the

streets were the weapons.

The TV news reported violence in London and Paris.

When protest came to Chicago, where the Democratic Party was holding that year's presidential convention in the city ruled by Mayor Richard Daley, burly policemen — firing teargas and waving truncheons — charged into the demonstrators.

The protestors chanted: 'The whole world is watching.' But this was no deterrent to Mayor Daley's troops.

At the Democratic Party convention, the police action was described as 'Gestapo tactics'. But, later, the newly elected Nixon administration decided to obtain retribution. Under a new federal law, eight demonstrators were charged with crossing state lines with intent to riot. Nearly 200 witnesses

testified in the 1969 trial, which dragged on for five months, producing 20,000 pages of transcript. The courtroom drama became a farce.

'11'wo women bared their breasts. Judy Collins sang on the witness stand. Allen Ginsberg, himself arrested several times during antiwar protests, read his poems — loudly. There were scuffles in court and jellybeans were thrown around.

One of the defendants, Bobby Seale — leader of the Black Panthers, originally formed to continued on page 261I•

On trial for trying to change the world: John Froines, attorney W illiam Runstler, David Dellinger, Lee W einer, Tom Hayden, attorney Leonard W einglass, Jerry Rubin, Rennie Davis and Abbie Hoffman. Top: Bobby Seale, who was acquitted in a separate trial. Left: Allen Ginsberg, who read his poems during the Chicago Eight trial.

^ continued from page 23 protect blacks from police brutality but which turned into a Marxist revolutionary group — was not allowed to choose his own counsel.

Believing his rights to be violated, he angrily interrupted proceedings.

Finally, he was gagged and shackled to his chair — an image seen on TV screens worldwide — and the trial continued. Later, Seale was ordered to be tried separately, so it became the Chicago Seven in the dock.

It was from this evidence, newsreel footage of the time and interviews with the real-life defendants that writerdirector Jeremy Kagan managed to piece together his dramatisation. Even before the case came to court, a report to exPresident Johnson's commission on violence concluded: 'Police violence was a fact of convention week.' It added that the behaviour of officers at times could 'only be called a police riot'.

Now you can judge for yourself as the trial comes to our screens.

essons earned Sheen's other Sixties stage MARTIN SHEEN, who plays a government witness in the C4 dramadocumentary, was an ambitious young actor at the time of the Chicago riots. Today, aged 48, he is an established star — and political activist.

He has been arrested several times during nuclear protests and is very active in the movement to help America's homeless.

In the Sixties, Sheen was just beginning to make his name in films such as Catch 22, the classic antiwar story. He was later to star in the Vietnam film A pocalypse Now. The star also has his family to think about. One son, Charlie Sheen, was a star of the hit Vietnam war movie Platoon. Another, Emilio Estevez, is one of the so-called Brat Pack of young stars.

Appearing in C4's reconstruction of the Chicago Eight trial was important to Sheen. wanted to play a bigger part,' he says 'but I was committed elsewhere.

So I worked the one day I could.'

The stars of the 'Chicago 8' film meet their real-life characters. Actors (back, left to right) Michael Lembeck as Hoffman (back, with flag), Robert Fieldsteel as W einer (left with glasses), Brian Benben as Hayden (in V-neck sweater), Robert Carradine as Davis (in openneck shirt), Barry Miller as Rubin (in suit and tie), David Hagen as Froines (with glasses) and Carl Lumbly as Seale (in light suit)

Elliott Gould then and now: with ex-wife Barbra Streisand (left) and fellow-screen attorney Robert Loggia

ELLIOTT GOULD was involved in much of the action, as defence lawyer Leonard Weinglass, in Conspiracy: The Thal of the Chicago 8. 'It's what I always hoped television would be — something of meaning and significance,' he says.

'It represents a major part of the contemporary American history and I think it's going to be educational for a lot of people.'

Talking at his Beverly Hills home, Gould, 49, turns the clock back to the Sixties, when he was married to singer Barbra Streisand and became a major Hollywood figure.

'I didn't remember .

Lenny Weinglass from the trial,' he says. 'I was busy becoming a movie star. In the summer of '68, I was doing M*A *S*H. I didn't understand the politics of the riots or the meaning of it. I had a feeling it was something positive, good and constructive, but I didn't understand it.

'It was upsetting and rather threatening. My head wasn't into it. I wasn't involved with any organisations. I was just a fan of the Dodgers [the Los Angeles baseball team].

'Barbra was busy becoming a movie star, too. My son Jason [now 20] was already born. So, looking at it more cosmically, I was busy finding a way into life.

'I understand a lot more now than I was capable of before. Then, I wanted to

stay as unexposed as possible while I was busy developing a career for myself.

'Now, the world of materialism totally dominates our existence.

The entire system of ours, which is rather brilliant, is being governed by dumbfounded idiots.

What we learned from 1968 is that we're not wrong — there is just something that is not working. Socially and economically, these guys were a threat to me at the time of the trial. They were a threat to what I thought I was supposed to be.

'Now I understand it, I totally agree with them.

Then, I didn't want to listen. I wanted to earn a living, stay in the world and support my family.'

Gould read all the court transcripts to prepare for his role as Weinglass. 'I found him to be very pure, very new and very in tune with the meaning of the revolution and the purpose of the expression of the Chicago Eight,' says Gould.

'The entire script of the TV programme was taken from the text of the court case. Jeremy Kagan worked on it for years. I trusted him. The CBS network in America would not put it on — it had to go out on cable TV.' Gould now has his own views on Weinglass. 'He was someone who had to become an attorney and defend these radical people,' says Gould. 'I think it's wonderful. He's bridging the gap — working for law and order, and representing these brave revolutionaries.'

Victory for democracy ALL OF THE Chicago Eight were acquitted of conspiracy to riot. Today, Abbie Hoffman and David Dellinger are full-time political activists. Jerry Rubin organises parties for young executives in New York and is planning to open a restaurant. Bobby Seale — who was acquitted in a separate trial — lives in Philadelphia, is a teaching assistant at Temple University and is planning to write a cookbook. John Froines is an associated professor in toxicology (the study of poisons) at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Rennie Davis lives in Colorado and works for an energy company. Tom Hayden is an elected Democratic politician in California and married to actress Jane Fonda. TM' 20-26 February 1988 TVTIMES

What the blazes!

It's a 'shout' â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the firefighters' term for an emergency call.

And there will be many of them over the next six weeks in London's Burning (with Gerard Horan, above left, and Glen Murphy), a fictional but realistic portrayal of life in a London Fire Brigade station.

On ITV on Saturday, it follows on from Jack Rosenthal's drama of the same title.

From comic to cleric Tony Robinson is best known to viewers as the slimy Baldrick in the Blackadder series and for comic roles in W ho Dares W ins. But in Wednesday's Pastoral Care, the first of a new series of C4's Tickets for the Titanic, Robinson (seen with Jack Shepherd, right) plays a vicar. The change pleases him. 'In fact, my background is classical theatre,' he admits. Tor 10 years I've been with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre.'

Making a new impression Debonair funny-man Bobby Davro returns to ITV on Saturday with another set of laughs in a new series of

Bobby Davro's TV W eekly.

'I'm looking forward to it,' he says, 'because it has a completely new format. I will be the only impressionist in this series, but TB have a regular team of actors and comics to appear with me in sketches. And I'll have a guest celebrity each week.' In this week's first show, he's joined by ventriloquist Ray Alan.

Parade of winners Television's most famous nosey-parker had something to gossip about when this year's TV Times Top 10 Awards were presented. Jean Alexander (below), better known to viewers as Hilda

Ogden, Coronation Streets chatterbox cleaning lady, lifted the coveted Best Actress award. 'It was such a surprise,' says Jean, who left the top-rated soap at Christmas. 'Soap stars tend not to get considered very often because people only think of us as the characters w play, not as actors.' Jean

did admit to being nervous about the ceremony. 'It's the one time you've no character to hide behind, when you have to be yourself,' she says One winner who loves to be herself is Cilia Black, who took the Favourite Female Personality award for the second year running. This year she's giving the trophy

to eldest son Robert. Tm not a lady who displays trophies. All my Sixties singing awards are in the loft, so last year the TV Times one was claimed by my middle son, Ben.' Youngest son Jack must be hoping Mum can make it three in a row next year.

Another winner was Maureen Lipman (left), the Favourite Female Comedy Performance award-winner — Maureen,

Busting out all over

Penelope signs on for a new line Penelope Keith (below) is delighted to be hosting the new series of W hat's My Line? (ITV , Monday to Friday). 'When I was asked I said Yes immediately. W hat's My Line? was a part of my young life — although I must say rm amazed to discover the show started as long ago as 1951. I remember watching it in the days when the men wore dinner suits and the women donned cocktail dresses. Eamonn Andrews would introduce each contestant with "Sign in, please". That was probably the first catchphrase I ever heard.' Penelope has a busy schedule this year. In addition to W hat's My Line? five days a week, she is preparing a programme on gardening, another series of Executive Stress is in the pipeline, and there is the possibility of a theatre play. She doesn't mind. 'I work best under pressure,' she says.

Top Seventies crirnebusters Shelley Hack, of Charlie's A ngels, and Paul Michael Glaser, of Starsky and Hutch, join forces (right) in the film Single Bars, Single W omen (C4, Tuesday) — but strictly for laughs. Shelley has been seen regularly on the big screen since leaving the A ngels. She appeared with Robert De Niro in The King of Comedy (1983) and can be seen in the cinema thriller The Stepfather (1987). Glaser, on the other hand. has been concentrating on directing pictures. On TV, he has worked on several episodes of Miami V ice and directed Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man.

Exploring a fresh angle A Prospect of Rivers continues to celebrate the pleasures of rivers (C4 this Monday). Thousands of people spend their leisure time messing around on the waterways of Britain. For them, barges and boats are as good a way as any of getting around on a sunny day. For fly fishermen (like the one seen left), the river bank is the only place to be. Britain's coarse anglers spend the season from 16 June to 14 March fishing for whatever they can catch.

According to A ngling Times, roach is the mostcaught fish. There are estimated to be around three million anglers hooked on the sport in Britain — and each one has a tale to tell.

who won her award for her role in A ll at No 20, is currently working on a onewoman stage show about the Life of the late Joyce Grenfell.

In the audience for the starstudded ceremony, hosted by :he winner of the Best Actor award, Nigel Havers (pictured centre left), were five lucky TV7'imes readers, who won a weekend in London when their voting slips (the awards were decided by our readers) were the first to be pulled out A the sack. They witnessed a little bit of TV history when Perry Wogan won the Favourite Male Personality category for an amazing tenth ime. The chat show host now anters the TV7'imes Hall of Fame for his outstanding contribution to television.

Nogan will be only the seventh member of this exclusive club, following in he footsteps of six other thowbusiness greats — Noele Gordon, Eamonn Andrews, Benny Hill, Violet Carson and Morecambe and Wise. Next

year there is certain to be a new Male Personality winner, as Wogan is now ineligible for the award. Russ Abbot picked up the Favourite Male Comedy Performance award and Jimmy Greaves found time from his hectic schedule to receive Favourite Sports Personality for the second year running. For the fourth year in a row, the Oxo Family ad won the Favourite Commercial section, while Michael Barrymore's Strike It Lucky did just that when it was named Favourite Game Show. Favourite singer was Cliff Richard. Finally, a mention must go to Australia's favourite dame and winner of the TV Times Editor's Special Award — Dame Edna Everage. It was the task of new Editor Richard Barber (inset, above left, with Dame Edna) to present the trophy, one he admitted he took on with more than a little trepidation. But, happily, Dame Edna was thrilled with her 'door-stop'.

Making a mountain out of a molehill is what Kevin Doyle is best at. He stars in News at Twelve, a new series which begins on ITV this Monday.

Kevin dreams he is a national newscaster with his own news programme. The result is, hopefully, a witty and entertaining series, with family events, such as the death of the Doyles' goldfish, plunging the country into national mourning. Kevin Doyle is played by Ewan Phillips, a 12-year-old from Wigan, Lancashire, who got the part after responding to a newspaper ad placed

by Central Television.

Says Ewan: 'One of the hardest parts was keeping a straight face through some scenes.

But it has whetted my appetite to go into television.'

Copping the lot Hal Linden (pictured, far right, with Ron Glass) is the Tonyaward-winning actor who plays the lead in the police series Barney Miller (C4, Saturday). He is a man of many talents.

Nominations for an Emmy and a Golden Globe award during the show's eight-year nm testify to his skills as a television actor. But Linden, born in the Bronx district of New York, is in constant demand for theatre work, too — a long and highly successful stint on Broadway has just come to an end, with, no doubt, more to follow. Linden is also a song-anddance man! He performs in Las Vegas regularly and is currently top of the bill in Reno, where his act is slaying them in the aisles.

Art — not just for artists' sake

Faces without a future?

A human face is put on the cold statistics of unemployment in Shutdown (ITV, Tuesday). The documentary looks at the lives of families affected by the closure in February 1987 of Smith's Dock on Teesside. Twenty-seven-year-old Ian Dale (pictured with his wife, Linda, and children Clare, left, and Tracy) was one of 1400 shipworkers who lost their jobs. His story is typical of many people who suddenly find themselves redundant in an area of high unemployment. 'I went on a six-month training course for bricklaying at first, then discovered that employers prefer timeserved bricklayers with a lot of experience. Since then Tye been on the dole.' As a member of a job Club, Dale has sent off 80 job applications in two months — and got one interview. 'I get depressed sometimes — and angry,' Dale admits, 'but I've had a good innings. I've been in work for 10 years; some of my mates have never worked at all.'

TV LETTER LINE TVTIMES 20-26 February 1988

The art quiz Gallery (C4, Sunday) aims to make art less solemn. 'The theme is simple,' says the quiz originator Daniel Farson (seen here with presenter George Melly), 'we want to take the pain out of art and overcome the suspicion that a visit to a local gallery is as solemn an occasion as a trip to a funeral parlour.' That's why Farson prefers to invite celebrities who are clearly not art experts on to the quiz to help take the snobbery out of art.

One thing the last series revealed was the number of works by great European painters in galleries up and down the country. They include a Van Gogh in Walsall, a Renoir in Cardiff and a Goya in Glasgow. The new series reveals a Brueghel near Banbury.

W hen was the last time you were really tested?

Asked to cope in a situation both unfamiliar and unexpected?

Asked to use your initiative?

Compare what you do during the week to the demands of a weekend navigating difficult country; laying and clearing minefields,. operating complex radio equipment; going into action by parachute drop; mastering the MILAN antitank missile; training your eye to marksman standard or sitting behind the controls of a Fox armoured car.

Y ou could be putting your mind to any one of these tasks and more as a member of the Territorial Army.

SOLDIERING To begin with you will be taught basic soldiering skills.

On the range with the Self Loading Rifle and the General Purpose Machine Gun. Out into the field rehearsing battle drills, judging distances to target, recognising field signals, learning haw to use a map and compass, stalking and skirmishing.

In the classroom, understanding the effects of — and protective measures against — nuclear, biological and chemical warfare.

And on the track, the assault course or back in the gym, reaching a level of fitness high enough to pass our Fitness Test.

Already you're beginning to look like and think like a

soldier. Y ou're feeling sharper and more confident.

And you're also getting a real kick out of it.

THE ROLE OF THE T.A. The Territorial Army makes up over one third of the United Kingdom's land farces.

It is a very real force.

In the event of war the T.A. would work alongside bath the Regular Army and NATO farces.

W hich is why we're often away an exercises with them.

W hy we work , with some of the world's most sophisticated military equipment.

And why training is intensive and often demanding.

014M S David Quinlan previews the films and Monty Smith the TV movies on screen this week SATURDAY International Settlement

Welsh valleys whose script about the Miners' Strike gets blown out of all proportion when Hollywood takes an interest. 1988

C4, 2.00pm-3.40pm Ever the opportunist, producer Sol M Wurtzel gathered together some press clippings, some very good newsreel shots of the Japanese invasion of China, a plot overlooked by the Charlie Chan films and an international cast and came up with a lurid, timely, novelettish melodrama that was good for a few dollars in its day. George Sanders almost makes the adventurer hero credible, Dolores Del Rio looks beautiful and sings.

1938

Valentino

Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators ITV, 2.45pm-4.35pm Archetypal continental muscleman epic, fast-moving, amusingly dubbed and played with vigour. Director Nick Nostro has a nice way with tracking shots, especially in a chariot pursuit through woods and along a lakeside, to put this one a step above the average.

1964

One Hour with You C4, 3.40pm-5.05pm Like Love Me Tonight, which viewers may have seen on C4, this is another scintillating vehicle for the delectable costarring team of Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald. Also similarly, it was notable at the time for its risque elements which Hollywood could get away with in the early Thirties. It is not a musical as such, rather a dramatic comedy with music (largely written by the operetta composer Oscar Straus, noted particularly for The Chocolate Soldier). One way and another, it's a treat for vintage film fans.

1932

The Strike C4, 10.50pm-12.05am There are more serious elements in this offering from the Comic Strip gang than in any of their other films from recent times. It's about a young writer from the

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

C4, 12.05am-2.25am Ken Russell's 'pop' version of the career of the unique silent film idol is colourful, outrageous and keeps on the move and, even if we never really get to know the man himself, presents us with a vivid picture of the free-for-all life of New York and Hollywood in the Twenties. Nureyev is not actually asked to do much beyond look and seem like Valentino on the surface, and enact scenes from some of his most famous films, but there is a wealth of striking acting in support, especially from Leslie Caron (as Nazimova), Huntz Hall (as Jesse Lasky) and Felicity Kendal as Valentino's agent June Mathis.

1977

SUNDAY Blackbeard's Ghost ITV, 2.30pm-4.30pm The Disney studio at its most inventive and amusing, with all sorts of fun being had from the invisibility of Blackbeard's ghost as he helps athletes and gamblers alike past the winning post. Peter Ustinov enjoys himself engagingly in the title role, Dean Jones is a likeably harassed hero and heroine Suzanne Pleshette also has her moments, especially when she is winning at a casino and refuses to quit while she's ahead. As Pinetop Purvis, you'll see the familiar (if younger) features of Michael Conrad, the late lamented desk sergeant from

Hill Street Blues.

1967

Where the River Bends C4, 10.10pm-11.50pm This excellent western has top grade written all over it. One of a series made by star James Stewart with director Anthony Mann (W inchester 73 and The Man from Laramie were others), it features a scene-stealing performance by Arthur Kennedy as the good-bad guy who must be bested in the end, and provided almost the final rung on the ladder to stardom for Rock Hudson, here as a gambler. 1952

Frida C4, 11.50pm-1.55am Not so much a conventional film biography (of the Mexican painter and left wing intellectual)

Rudolph Valentino (Rudolf Nureyev) tangos with his partner (Christine Carlson) in K en Russell's 'Valentino': C4, Saturday as a visually rich collage of Harry 0: Such scenes from Frida Kahlo's life, Dust as Dreams enabling director Paul Leduc to abandon the constraints of a Are Made Of standard narrative structure in ITV, 11.20pm-12,40am favour of a fascinating individual The first of two cumbersomelyapproach to his subject.

(W est only)

MONDAY The In-Laws ITV, 1.30pm-3.25pm Peter Falk and Alan Arkin costar in made-to-measure roles in this zany comedy. Arkin plays a New York dentist and family man who is about to meet his prospective son-in-law's parents for the first time. Little does he suspect that the father, Vince, quite unbeknown to anyone else, is an agent for the CIA. It's all too much for the unadventurous dentist! Arkin plays with what has been termed his 'brand of sub-hysterical panic' but many might well feel that, not for the first time, it's Falk who runs away with the entire film.

1979

T Dan Smith C4, 10.55pm-12.35am Made over two years in close collaboration with T Dan Smith, the politician sentenced to six years in connection with the Poulson affair, this 'docu-drama.' from the enterprising Amber Films is a fascinating and penetrating portrait of one man's political life. Raising pertinent questions about big business, the film contains elements of drama, thriller and expose.

1987

The Silent Cry C4, 12.35am-2.30am Stephen Dwoskin's highly individual films, often the centre of attention at international film festivals, have reached a wider audience in recent times thanks to C4. Dealing with such subjects as sexuality and disablement, these quirky movies have been highly praised by some, roundly condemned by others. But always they have proved challenging and controversial. This one is about an 'Alice' who may or may not step through her own looking-glass.

1977

TUESDAY For Those in Peril C4, 2.30pm-3.45pm Ealing Studios were the most war-conscious of British production companies; while the Rank Organisation was providing sheer escapism, Ealing got down to depicting the war as it was.

Although the acting is no more than competent, its portrait of an air-sea rescue unit under fire provides vivid, gripping wartime realism.

1972

Single Bars, Single Women C4, 9.00pm-10.50pm A comedy-drama inspired by Dolly Parton's cry-in-your-beer song, this is a bit like Cheers with soap suds. In among the one-night stand blues, bantering chatter, rejections and come-ons, there are some eminently watchable performances from the strong cast. Besides Christine Lahti (the attractive star of Bill Forsyth's Housekeeping) and Paul Michael Glaser (still Starsky after all these years), there's Shelley Hack, the lady imperilled

WEDNESDAY The Invisible Woman C4, 2.30pm-3.50pm It's ladies' day, so to speak, in the invisibility stakes with Virginia Bruce as the girl who is made to vanish. The plot is on a 'nutty professor' basis, with John Barrymore cast as the eccentric scientist who comes up with the appropriate formula. With such splendid character players as Oscar Homolka and Charles

EILEEN ATKINS JOHN CASTLE SUSAN TRACY 7: VIRGINIA WOOLF'S `MRS DALLOWAY' The series combining dramatisation, documentary and critical explanation. Virginia Woolf was one of the greatest woman writers of this century. In her novel Mrs Dalloway she recreated a day in the life of a society hostess - the wife of an MP at the turn of the century. Mrs Dalloway's seeming serenity is disturbed by the arrival of an old admirer on the day she is to give a grand party. The film reflects both the structure of the novel and its preoccupation with what goes on beneath the surface of events. It uses scenes from Woolf's creative life to explain how she was attempting to capture the many levels of experience in the character of Mrs Dalloway. Commentary

It is a country he knows well. His wife Gudrun was born there and they return regularly for holidays. Among the more familiar sights they visit are the geysers and naturally-heated pool in Reykjavik. Judith visits the Trossachs in Scotland, an area associated with Rob Roy, Sir Walter Scott and the TV series Dr Finlay's Casebook, which was filmed there. John looks at the revival of the country house hotel and the programme comes from one of the most famous - Cliveden, on the banks of the Thames in Berkshire. The travel consultant is Robin Dewhurst, writers are Perrott Phillips and John Carter. Details of all the holidays are given on page 194 of Oracle.

just £7.95

ovvz,v, Since the very first plants in the Garden of Eden flourished on the first animal manure, organic manures have been conditioning the soil and nourishing every type of plant on God's earth.

Through the ages farmyard manure has become accepted as the most natural thing for the garden, the only problem is that it's not easy to get regular supplies, nor is that great steaming heap in the drive particularly convenient!

That is why experienced gardeners have made 6X—`The 100% Organic Manure' brand leader in Britain. It's every bit as good for the soil as farmyard manure (in fact its analysis is 6 to 8 times better) and, it comes in convenient sacks. Whats more it's weed

free, and fully composted so it's as easy to handle as granular fertilisers.

Try a sack today - you will find 6X at any good garden centre or nursery (or get it direct from us) One sack, sufficient for up to 220 sq.yds., costs only £6.95 (RRP). You will find it's so rich you only have to use handfuls not barrowloads. Your plants will grow so fast you won't Adam and Eve it!

They need to know that they won't have to face the disease alone. That life can still be active, full of hope and above all, normal.

Cancer Relief can provide that support. But onlywith your help.

We're already responsible for training and funding Macmillan nurses. For building Macmillan cancer care units. And for bringing relief to the lives of some 60,000 cancer patients and their families every year.

Sun and sights — the best of both worlds

Italy has so much to suit all ages. For a sun-soaked, relaxing beach holiday visit the Ligurian, Tuscan, Neapolitan, Venetian or Adriatic Rivieras. Also there are the beautiful, unspoilt beaches in Southern Italy. Lots of fun and lots of choice.

However, if you prefer inland lakes there's Lake Garda, Como, Maggiore and Orta with their incredible natural beauty.

For the health conscious there are over 200 natural spas. And for those who like islands there's Sardinia, Sicily, Elba, Ischia and Capri to name but a few.

Italy has a wealth of artistic treasures and a rich historical background.

Take a day trip and visit Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice or Pompeii.

Add to all of this some of the best food and wine in Europe, as well as the charming Italian hospitality and the unhurried lifestyle, and you'll want to return again and again.

Italy Enchanting, whatever the season

A mortgage isn't hard to find these days.

But what about the information and advice you have to have if you're going to buy and set up a new home successfully?

The facts about those mountains of legal documents for instance. Or even the do's and don'ts of decorating.

With Nationwide Anglia's HomeMaker service, you'll be in no doubt over any of it.

Because the clearer you are about home buying, the quicker and easier you'll get around to home owning.

With a Nationwide Anglia mortgage you get help right down to the last bit of paperwork.

Here's how HomeMaker works.

First come in and talk to us. We'll tell you how much you can borrow before you find your home and give you a Mortgage Pledge guaranteeing that your money will be there when you need it? (This is good for you and good for the vendor - he'll know you mean business).

We'll also give you our HomeMaker Handbook, it'll guide you through the first steps to buying your new home.

Now you're ready to start looking for it.

When you're sure you've found the place you want and applied for a mortgage, we'll give you our HomeMaker Organiser. It tells you everything you need to know: from finding a solicitor to choosing the right wallpaper.

With it, you'll know exactly where you stand, what you have to do and how to go about doing it.

It's indispensable, you won't find anything else like it.

And with storage space for all the documents you pick up on the way, it's a complete filing system.

Of course, there'll be times when you will need to talk to an expert first hand, but then at Nationwide Anglia there's always the opportunity for doing that.

Drop in and see us when you start thinking about buying a new home.

We'll get you on that ladder without putting a single foot wrong.

9.30pm Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago Eight

BY JEREMY KAGAN

ELLIOTT GOULD ROBERT LOGGIA PETER BOYLE MARTIN SHEEN ROBERT, CARRADINE In the late Sixties the United States was torn by a bitter debate over the war in Vietnam.

Matters came to a head in 1968 when demonstrators clashed with the police in Chicago. The Nixon government used a controversial new antiriot law to indict eight political activists. The subsequent trial became a circus with the courtroom the arena where the radical alternative movement met the establishment head on. Nobody could have predicted the extraordinary consequences. This programme uses reconstruction of events, recollections of the reallife Chicago Eight, as well as newsreel and music of the era.

"TVE MA DE UP MY MIND Tom. It's time I got more out of life!" Grandad thrust his fork into the ground so forcefully that the starlings lunching on his row of p eas took flight for a more peaceful corner of the allotment.

"A nd if I'm going to get more out of lift . . ." continued Grandad, "I've got to get more out of my savings.

That means going for high interest. So it's the National Savings Investment A ccount for me!"

He'd obviously beenir thinking about it for 3-§ some time.

Grabbing his jacket, Grandad strode off weaving his way purposefully through the patchwork of fruit and veg.

Ten minutes later, he was back, full of the joys of the National Savings Investment A ccount.

"Y ou should get one Tom" he exclaimed.

"It's non-taxpayers like us who get the most out of it you know."

"Y es Grandad" I said.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd had one for two years already.

C4, Saturday: The Strike ook closely at those faces opposite - for wha you see is a little bit of comic history. Simply, it is the first time that the zany ninesome who make up The Comic Strip have been pictured together.

It's not that they don't like getting together. Far from it.

They're all the best of friends and have been performing together for almost 10 years. But when it comes to posing for the public, they are still a little bit, well, camera shy.

Over the next six weeks you'll be seeing plenty of them in a collection of new films they have written and directed themselves. But it's unlikely you'll recognise them. . . They'll be dressed as miners, villains, holidaymakers, even heavymetal rockers, in films such as The Strike - on C4 screens this week - Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, Funseekers and More Bad News.

A decade ago they were known as 'alternative' comedians. But then they burst on to our screens with The Comic Strip Presents. . . Five Go Mad in Dorset (1982), and their radical humour found instant popular acclaim.

Since Peter Richardson founded The Comic Strip Club in 1980 - in a room rented from Soho club king Paul Raymond nearly all the performers have gone on to become popular screen, stage and television personalities. Today the club is closed - but its performers have found success.

One face that isn't so well known is that of Richardson himself. He writes many of the scripts but admits that he isn't wild about performing on TV, even though he takes the lead in The Strike. Richardson is probably the most shy of The Comic Strip, but even he agreed to pose for our picture by David Bailey. `Everyone made the effort everyone was involved,' he says incredulously.

The Strike, written by Richardson and his regular writing partner Pete Richens, looks at how an American movie mogul handles a script from an innocent Welsh playwright, about the miners' strike. The playwright is Alexei Sayle, who also enjoys success as a newspaper columnist, author and singer - his record (filo John! Gotta New Motor? was a chart hit.

A nswer: The Comic Strip. On Saturday this wacky gang star in The Strike', the first of their six new films for Channel Four.

But be warnedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; it's humour with a bite!

Things are looking up for incompetent escort agency bosses Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson in 'Mr jolly Lives Next Door' Shedding some light on miners' problems in The Strike' are Robbie Coltrane (top right) and K eith Allen.

the movie mogul, who casts Al Pacino to play Arthur Scargill and Meryl Streep to be his wife. Peter Richardson portrays Pacino and Jennifer Saunders the character of Streep.

Filming was done on location in Wales in a village near Merthyr Tydfil. 'It was a lovely village with a deserted main street,' says Richardson. 'When we first arrived, all the women and children came running out we were the first visitors since the pits closed down.'

Coltrane adds: 'I thought there would be resentment over us making a funny film about the strike - but the people were fantastic - they aren't bitter at all.'

In fact, many of them ended up in the movie in crowd scenes. 'I think we gave them a The Comic Strip presents. . . left to right: Peter Richardson, Alexei Sayle, Nigel Planer, Adrian Edmonson, K eith Allen, Robbie Coltrane, Jennifer Saunders, Rik Mayall and Dawn French

bit of employment and a bit of entertainment for a week,' says Richardson.

Nigel Planer - a veteran of such television series as ITV's Roll Over Beethoven and King and Castle - plays the role of the movie director, Bernard. `He's a champagne socialist,' laughs Planer.

He's certainly very different to the character that most people

would know Planer for; that of Neil, the long-haired downtrodden hippy, from the BBC series The Y oung Ones.

Comic Stripper Adrian Edmondson, who plays a simpleton miner in Saturday's film, is married to fellow Stripper Jennifer Saunders. They have two daughters, Eleanor, two, and six-month-old Beatrice.

Dawn French - the other half of the French and Saunders comedy duo - is married to comedian Lenny Henry.

She explains why The Comic Strip team aren't very fond of the press. 'It's not the interviews that make me angry, it's what appears afterwards. It's as though I never spoke to the person. They're the same e who camp

on our doorstep to find out what size trousers my husband Lenny wears.'

One of the best known members of The Comic Strip is Rik Mayall, famous for his portrayal of the callous B'stard in ITV's The New Statesman.

Keith Allen, the final member of the team, is a seasoned performer on the fringe theatre circuit. In this new series he'll star in his own film, The Y ob, about a brain swop between a film director and a football hooligan!

But let the last word go to Robbie Coltrane: 'The Comic Strip coming together is like a family reunion,' he says. 'That poor man Bailey didn't stand a chance.' He got his picture, though.

r Plant aid Last year, when I went on a spring holiday, I thought that I had made sensible arrangements for the care of my plants.

But, to my horror, when I came home, some were dead and the rest were unhappily wilting. I wonder what you do with yours, Katie?

Mamie Stevens Bedford Y our best bet is to have a swap arrangement with a caring and knowledgeable friend or neighbour.

Knowledgeable is the key word, or they may drown them by overgenerous watering. Or you can soak all green pot plants in water the day before you go, then leave them in seed trays filled with damp peat.

Stand these on newspaper in the centre of the room, so they won't catch the full sun, and remember to put a plastic sheet below to protect your carpet.

A lternatively, buy capillary matting from a garden centre, soak it and spread on the kitchen draining board, with one end in a bowl of water. Stand the plants on the matting.

Unless a neighbour is watering them regularly, don't forget to take down or bring in precious hanging baskets and window boxes and give them the same treatment as your pot plants. A true gardening friend will also dead-head your roses in the summer to ensure you get a lovely welcome when you come home.

Face facts I have a 38-year-old relative who has suffered the facial disfigurement of Bell's Palsy for the past five years. You can imagine the effect this has had on her life.

When the paralysis struck, she was offered plastic surgery, but was hesitant to go through such a major operation.

Have you any advice?

Miss B T West Midlands How very distressing for your friend. I think she should consider getting in touch with the Disfigurement Guidance Centre at 52 Crossgate, Cupar, Fife KY 15 5H5. It has a helpline, with advice and guidance, Monday-Friday, 9.00arn4.00pm, on 0334 55746, or seven days a week from

Skin saver I always read your beauty tips and have followed many of them.

However, I have never seen the answer to my own problem. I have a greasy skin and am nervous of even putting on a moisturiser, let alone a richer cream, in case it makes it worse.

But I am afraid that in the long term my skin will suffer. Can you suggest anything suitable to keep it in good condition?

Shop talk Many complaints have been voiced recently about bad service given by shop staff Having retired, I often accompany my wife shopping and have had the opportunity to study this problem, especially at supermarket checkouts. I believe so much relates to the attitude of the customer.

However boot-faced or weary a lady on the till may be, my wife seems able to raise the atmosphere to one of cheerfulness with just a few words. I am afraid many more customers than staff are rude and bad-mannered, and some still treat staff like servants.

Lt Cdr C H Wines Lee-on-the-Solent Hampshire As an OAP on a budget, I always check my goods with those on my supermarket bill when I get home. Twice recently, I have found I was short of a few items.

I have come to the conclusion that while you are engrossed in paying your bill, and your unattended purchases lie on the end of the counter near the exit, the light-fingered are able to help themselves. I now take my list, have my money ready in my hand, and never take my eye off my shopping until it is safely packed.

Mr J Foss.11 West Bromwich West Midlands

I am pleased to publish these comments from sharp-eyed male shoppers.

Celebrate and donate Can I tell you of the lovely way my family celebrated my 80th birthday? Normally, I couldn't care less about birthdays, but when my daughter said she was corning all the way from New Zealand I naturally agreed to a family gathering, with the proviso that there were to be no personal gifts. Instead, I suggested a donation might be made towards an organ for our church.

Greatly to my surprise and pleasure, family and friends came from all over the country. It was such a happy occasion, and the organ fund benefited to the tune of £250. I wonder if other readers would be interested in this idea?

W ell, I certainly am, and Tm sending you £10 for my Letter of The W eek.

Phone phobia I am about to start my first office job and am rather nervous of using the telephone. I don't want to make a bad impression on my first day, but I can't find any books to help me.

Chris Lee Merseyside The secret is not to be afraid to smile. Test it out using a tape. Imagine you are answering a phone and first say brusquely, 'Good morning. Can I help you?' with a gloomy expression on your face, then repeat the same phrase with a smile.

Y ou'll be amazed at the difference. Don't be niggardly with please' and 'thank you' to round off conversations, however brief. A little

book which may help you, though it's not strictly about telephoning, is 'Meeting People is Fun: How to Overcome Shyness' by Dr Phyllis M Shaw.

Published by Sheldon Press, at £2.95, it is available at your library, through bookshops, or by writing to Sheldon Press, Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone Road, London NVV1 4DU, enclosing 75p postage.

In the autumn I was introduced to a natural, non-allergic lotion called Pakua (pronounced Packay), which should be ideal for you. The idea is based on Chinese methods. It nourishes and protects the skin but is not greasy. It also can be used to help to heal cuts, burns and abrasions. It is available from health food shops for £2-75, or with 25p postage and packing from M and H S & Co, Ctuwood House, Kents Close, Uffculme, Devon EX15 3AW .

Brotherly love?

In the past three years, my 16-year-old sister has turned into a nasty piece of work. She is constantly starting arguments and upsetting me and my parents. She borrows my things without a word of thanks.

What is worse, she is very pretty, and gets my dad to give her heaps of money for clothes, while treating us all like dirt. I love her deeply and so do my mum and dad, but I hate her at the same time. What on earth can I do?

W illiam (aged 12) North London You are learning early

on how close love and hate can be. Isn't it odd how intensely you can love someone while actually disliking them? I think you should ask your father to have a straight talk with her, as there is often a special

relationship between a father and daughter. If she flounces off in fury, follow this up with a note, written more in sorrow than anger, asking her to think again. The chances are that this 'spoiled brat' period will pass. A fter all, boys who fall for her aren't going to put up with it for long.

If you know she has a good heart, persevere and go on appealing to her better nature.

Once she gets through these 'terrible teens, she will probably become much more considerate. Y ou can certainly tell her that you all hope she will!

Small pleasures When collecting jam jars for making jam and chutney, I also save the occasional small baby food jar, or one of similar size. There always seems to be a small amount left in the bottom of the saucepan after filling up the bigger jam jars, and these tiny pots of goodies make nice little gifts for an old person, friend or neighbour.

Mrs Marie Turner Gillingham, Bent

We are two mothers, living on a farm in Cheshire, who run Kids-Link, a very special pen-pal service linking children with the same interests and of the same age all over Britain. We are especially interested to hear from disabled children who may equally enjoy writing to a new friend in similar circumstances. Our service also extends to children with a hearing or mild learning disability. We also have special schools interested in our scheme. All Kids-Link writers receive a newsletter for which they are encouraged to write poems and stories.
