SUSANNAH YORK WORKS HARD FOR A HAPPY DIVORCE

Cover picture

by Peter Bolton

Susannah York and the image of a woman in curlers does not spring to mind Yet there she was in the make-up department, amid the hair driers, her mouth full of clips and her red-gold hair spiky with heated rollers.

At her feet a brown and white spaniel was idly crunching a plastic cup. "Oh darling!" sighed Susannah wearily, retrieving bits of soggy plastic. "Darling, don't." Darling (Susannah's King Charles spaniel Sammy, pictured with her on our cover), looked wounded. Susannah returned to her hair. "It's blonder than this really," she said, "but I went red for Second Chance. I think I like it."

She plays Kate, a newly-divorced housewife and mother of two teenage children. "Kate's been terribly sheltered in her marriage," says Susannah. "For quite a long time she's been happy. Then suddenly the children are grown and she feels a dreadful hollowness. She feels she hasn't lived her life properly. She hasn't lived herself."

While Miss York has great sympathy for the Kates of this world, she has never shared their problems. She describes herself as a "hunder per-center" who tends to leap enthusiastically into a variety of fufilling projects— films such as Tom "ones, A Man For A ll Seasons, The Killing of Sister George and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

There have also been less memorable pro2

HINK of

ductions : Susannah always kids herself, she says, that she can improve a mediocre role, but the main reason she accepts such work is that she can't resist a challenge.

Last year she decided to play her first French role in A ppearances in Paris and suffered agonies with the French dialogue for little more than the cost of her plane ticket.

Then she agreed to repeat the part in the London production, only to discover that it was even more difficult to relearn it in English.

"At rehearsals I kept answering in French," says Susannah ruefully. But she did it anyway.

Then there was the time she jumped on a plane to Poland to play the queen in a film version of A lice in W onderland. Skimming through the script during the journey, she noticed it seemed rather odd. It turned out to be a musical and Susannah's lines were songs.

She's not a singer, but she had a go—and enjoyed it enormously. Miss York is one of those polite, very English people who hates to let anyone down and is determined to make the best of everything.

At present she's busily making the best of her own divorce. Like Kate, Susannah has two children and since she is also the child of divorced parents she was determined that her own children would not suffer any traumas.

She feels that Second Chance has some important things to say about broken marriages. "It's a constructive series," says

Second Chance/Friday 9.0

Susannah York and her ppy family. Like Kate, the character she plays in Second Chance, Susannah is also divorced and has two children—Orlando, aged seven (left) and Sasha, eight. "It's terribly important to me," she says, "that my children reckon their Dad. They think he's terrific."

Susannah. "It is saying it is possible to have a divorce where everything isn't desolate or thrown away but that, like marriage, divorce has to be worked at.

"Pam the result of an acrimonious divorce.

My parents parted with a great deal of bitterness and the children suffered. Looking back, I think it must have been very sad for my parents."

Dead-end marriages are common and quite normal, Susannah believes, but it's how the couple deal with the situation that makes all the difference. "Some people, when they realise the marriage has gone dead, refuse to admit it.

"Others say yes, but I'd - rather have this than nothing. Some confront it, share it with their partner and are able to rebuild the relationship. Others say this is not good enough Half my life is gone. I don't feel I'm bringing anything to this person or the marriage. I owe it to myself to try to fulfil my life. These are the people who decide on divorce."

Susannah and her husband, writer and film director Michael Wells, parted four years ago after 16 years of marriage. Today they have an amicable, civilised relationship—not because they have been lucky, but because they have worked hard to achieve it.

"I think it's inconceivable that you can stop caring for someone who's been half your life and with whom you've had children," says Susannah. "It must be like throwing away your past. Of course there's bitterness in a break-up. There's always regret, there's always sadness. But with patience and humour it is possible to establish a different relationship involving the whole family.

"There are always times when one child is against one parent or the other, but it's absolutely wrong for parents to vent their bitterness on the children. You should never say nasty things about each other in front of them.

"It's terribly important to me that my children reckon their Dad. They think he's terrific. Of course everyone's human and every now and then you say 'Drat the man' or he says 'Drat the woman', but I hate backbiting in any situation, and especially within the family.

"For a very long time I had a splendid marriage. It was a valid and valuable relationship that came to an end but which produced healthy, living results—the children."

There are still regrets, but it wouldn't be like Susannah to dwell on them. She's• a positive and energetic woman. At 40 she looks little older than the demure, fresh-faced blonde who first became a star in the Sixties, along with Julie Christie and Carol White.

Today, the girl who stunned people by turning up at studios barefoot is properly shod. She has matured, her voice is huskier,

her figure is slimmer and her extraordinary melting blue eyes seem to widen until they fill her face when she becomes animated— which is often.

She likes to talk about her children, understandably since they are a handsome, blond, blue-eyed pair and she had to wait 11 years before she became pregnant for the first time.

"Sasha is eight now and Orlando seven.

I know there's all this business about conditioning or not conditioning them. Well, I swear they've both had the same upbringing but Sasha remains excessively feminine and Orlando excessively boyish. Orlando is involved in climbing trees and maths; Sasha makes up poems and is careful about the way she looks. Mind you, they're both anxious about the way I look. If I'm going out with them they vet me first."

The three of them, and a nanny, live in a large Victorian house in Wandsworth where there are trees in the garden and numerous cats and dogs, including Sammy the spaniel, the latest addition to the family.

Mentioning Sammy, Susannah glanced down to find her feet had been submerged under what looked like a fall of snow.

Deprived of plastic cups the dog was now shredding a flurry of paper tissues. "Oh dear," says Susannah helplessly. "I shall have to apologise. He chews absolutely everything."

Susannah doesn't think she'll marry again.

"I can't see any reason for it now. It's not that I think marriage is unimportant. Marriage and the children were the most important things that ever happened to me. It's just that I can't imagine taking such an enormous step again.

"I married at 19 and I think for me that was the only way. If I'd left it any later I'd have been much too scared. Now I'm too frightened to make that commitment again . but then who knows?"

Like many actors Susannah enjoys writing.

So far she has had two children's books published. "Writing satisfied the child in me," she says. "I think all actors have an escapist, fantasy quality about them."

She now actively supports the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and spends most of her free time writing speeches. "I find making speeches in public terribly frightening, but I care so much about nuclear disarmament I'm prepared to do it. When I look at my children they are so nice and so alive that I can't bear to think that by our folly we are putting ourselves more and more in the way of nuclear war.

"And it's not just for my children but for children everywhere and for human beings, for civilisation, for music and beautiful buildings and everything we have ever created. I can't bear the thought that it will be destroyed and set at nought . . ."

Our three days in Hollywood's death `zoo AI I

After three in the morning there won't be a human being left on the streets. Only animals ... Our job is to keep the animals away from the rest of society. We're the town zookeepers."

This was our introduction to a three-day patrol with some of the 6,300 men of the Hollywood police.

Their 20-square mile patch is one of the busiest in Los Angeles, the city which is now living uncertainly with a murder rate averaging almost three

victims a day. The 1,040 people who were shot, stabbed, beaten, poisoned or strangled last year represent a 25 per cent increase over 1979—the biggest rise recorded in any American city.

Our patrol coincided with one of the bloodiest and most violent weekends in the history of Los Angeles.

By Sunday night, 13 people had been killed—three of them were herded into the deep freeze room of a restaurant and shot. We were ready for anything. Our first few

hours on patrol were relatively peaceful. We cruised around the streets with Supervising Sgt. Dennis Johnson, whose job is to keep one eye on his officers, the other on potential trouble spots.

His patch includes street corners infested with dope peddlers, pimps, prostitutes, transvestite hookers, gays and teenage runaways.

"I don't tell my wife and kids half the things I do on this job," he says drily. "There's not much we can do except keep things moving.

These aren't the sort of sights we like tourists to see. It's Sordid City and we don't like it."

Johnson says he and his family moved out of Hollywood after the dope dealers, discos and homosexual clubs moved in. "One day my wife was taking a bath when a big butch lesbian broke open the bathroom window. That's the day we decided to move—fast."

He was interrupted by our first serious call: Armed robbery, suspects possibly still on premises. He

drove as fast as he could through heavy traffic, shrugging: "No point in using the siren, too many drivers refuse to let you through. What are you going to do—stop and book them? One of these days we'll get the co-operation we need from the public."

No siren and we're still there in minutes. It's a big house overlooking a jungle of freeways. Johnson edges warily around the house, hand on gun. Two tearful Mexican maids eventually open/continued on page 7

Death by natural causes? The "body" sits up—a misunderstanding that leads to laughs back at headquarters

divisions were handling the murders and robberies of that particularly violent weekend, we witnessed a relatively quiet time in Hollywood, full of off-beat incidents. There was one bloody moment—a gang stabbing—where we were told to "Hang on, hold tight, seen blood before?"

The victim was sprawled across his front doorstep; he had lost a lot of blood, and there were doubts that he would survive.

Into morning and we're on our way to our last call : dead body in a seedy hotel. Three transient alcoholics are in the room and the dead man is in bed, barely discernible under a scruffy heap of bedclothes. While we're waiting for assistance one of the men decides to take a nap and stretches out on the bed. A few minutes later Officer Busco breezes down the corridor : "Dead body, sergeant? Where? On the bed? O.K. Where's the phone?"

We're about to leave as he calls headquarters. "Yeah, we want the meat wagon. Sorry about the line but this telephone was made before you were born. It's a working antique. The body? It's on the bed.

No, I haven't examined it but from here it looks like natural causes. He's an old guy . . . er, you ain't gonna believe this lieutenant but the body's moving. He's lighting a cigarette.

Officer Brusco is speechless.

Everyone else in the room is having hysterics. Even the three old men can see the joke. "The corpse, Busco, is on the bed," says one of the sergeants. "And under the bedclothes."

As we head back to the station we know that's one incident which is going to be recounted with great relish over the next few years. The station has already heard about it as we walk over to sign off. Everyone's chuckling about Busco's body.

Then reports begin to come in about the murderous weekend in the rest of Los Angeles. The mood changes. The day shift come out of their briefings, check their guns and get into their cars. They drive out on to the streets of Hollywood and this time there's no joking.

by Dave limning B ehind the graceful, exciting action of downhill ski- ing is a great sporting anomaly. In a supposedly amateur sport, racers can make millions of pounds in hundredths of a second. How do ski champions reap their rich rewards?

SUCCESS in a supposedly amateur sport, the personal economics of stolid Swede Ingemar Stenmark, double gold medallist at the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, U.S., and three-times overall World Cup winner, are little short of staggering.

He is reputed to have become a millionaire without breaking any of the rules or endangering his amateur status. At 24, it is said that he has another £2 million guaranteed over the next two seasons—even if he doesn't win a race. If he does win, he banks a further £20,000 per race.

It is an earning potential that has forced Stenmark, like fellow countryman Bjorn Borg, to set up home in Monaco to escape Sweden's 85 per cent top-end tax.

With seven of this winter's 10 Alpine World Cup downhill ski-ing rounds completed and W orld of Sport's coverage reaching its climax this week with a report from St. Anton in Austria, it is easy to see how the current great debate in sporting circles has gathered force.

Depending from which angle you S A

look, the star skiers have either smashed the hypocrisy of "shamateurism" or skated around the system to reap their colossal rewards. In fact, it is all done through "broken time" payments and the International Ski Federation's "B" licence status.

This arrangement was worked out following the scandal of the 1972 Winter Olympics, when veteran Austrian champion Karl Schranz was sent home in disgrace by Avery Brundage, head of the Olympic movement, for revealing to the world that top ski-racers took money.

Lord Killanin, Brundage's successor, and the 1974 International Olympic Congress in Vienna introduced the new deal : broken time payments. These enable skiers to endorse products as long as the cash is paid into their national federation, which compensates the skier as it sees fit. It might even keep all the rewards in trust until he, or she, officially turns professional.

The International Ski Federation's "B" licence operates on a similar basis and allows Stenmark's 1980/81 World Cup earnings, for example, to

be regarded as legal. A "B" licence does not permit competition in the Olympics, but Stenmark can account all his "unofficial" earnings to the Swedish Ski Federation.

This winter's World Cup winnings may represent only a fraction of a top skier's earnings. Officially the overall winner in the 31 men's events (10 downhill, 10 special slalom, 11 giant slalom), takes about £20,000.

The girls, competing in 10 downhills, nine special slaloms and nine giant slaloms, can expect £3,000.

The Swiss Federation, for example, pays 7,000 dollars (£2,800) for an individual World Cup win and 45,000 dollars (£18,300) for overall victory.

But the real goldmine lies not in prizes but in contracts with equipment suppliers. Top racers are permitted to be featured in advertisements provided the manufacturer pays the money into a national pool.

On-the-ball manufacturers have advertisement writers standing by, as in Grand Prix motor racing, to produce copy immediately their "boy" or "girl" wins something

special. Kastle, Austrian ski manufacturers, captioned a full-page advertisement with the magazine Ski Racing "May Wenzel Be With You" after Andreas Wenzel of Liechtenstein won the overall 1979/80 World Cup. Little Liechtenstein, that postagestamp European state no bigger than the Isle of Wight, provided both World Cup winners last season in Andreas and sister Hanni.

Manufacturers pay enormous sums to underwrite "amateur" ski-ing. A top racer can expect at least £20,000 for each contract—and can attract a dozen. He may also have a couple of attendant technicians costing the sponsors another £20,000.

The resulting publicity is used by equipment manufacturers to gain a greater share of what has become an extremely lucrative market. Recent research figures show that about 35 million people go ski-ing annually.

Ski-mg is ageless, classless and unisex (around 60 per cent male, 40 per cent female). Every skier is likely to spend around £300-£400 a holiday on travel, hotel accommoda-

THE COST OF SKI-ING * 450,000 Britains went ski-ing in 1980. * More than 500,000 are expected to take ski-ing holidays for the first time by the end of this season. * This year both Austria and Switzerland report British business is 20 per cent up on 1979/80, West Germany 10 per cent up, Italy and France a little up.

Average cost: Kitzbuhel, two weeks per person—Jan.-March £208; End of March-April £179. * Watch for tour operators who still charge £35 per week for ski lifts, £35 excess hire. Both are usually included in the package now.

don, food, drink, equipment and ski-lifts. Swiss bankers calculated the gross income from the 1978/79 season was £13,000 million. It will have increased around 15 per cent since then.

If the holiday winter sports scene involves big money, the equipment

required by a downhill racer is hardly cheap either. He wears £1,000 worth of gear every time he races.

A top skier must have at least half a dozen pairs of skis, and a troupe of backroom helpers : coaches, waxers, boot experts. It all costs money. In 1979/80 the Swiss spent £400,000 on their national team.

The U.S. has 10 million active Alpine skiers, too, and the dollars to pay for top equipment. American skier Phil Mahre's silver medal in the slalom at Lake Placid is worth £80,000 to him over the next two years. Ski manufacturers K2 are believed to have injected £50,000 into the U.S. ski team because the Mahre twins, Steve and Phil, agreed to use their skis exclusively. K2 sell roughly 120,000 pairs of skis annually in America, and approximately one dollar for each pair sold goes to the Mahre twins, They will be paid via funding from the U.S. Educational Ski Federation, charged with money-raising for the squad.

OR MORE THAN A DECADE,

packed houses have sat amazed while that huge bronze voice, that demonic verve, flooded over them in some of the greatest drama ever written. During the past three years, Alan Howard has constantly been acclaimed as one of our greatest interpreters of Shakespeare.

Terry Coleman said in The Guardian: "Alan Howard is a new lion of the stage and lions are rare beasts." Irving Wardle wrote in The Times of "that trumpet voice which is the most thrilling sound at present to be heard on the English stage." And last autumn Charles Spencer of the London Evening Standard said: "Great classical actors are a rarity even in Britain's rich theatre. Mr. Howard is indisputably among their number."

Two years ago, Alan Howard commuted between his Coriolanus with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and Antony in A ntony and Cleopatra at the R.S.C.'s London base, the Aldwych theatre. There, his Cleopatra was Glenda Jackson. He has just finished playing Richard II and a roaring Richard III, often on consecutive nights, at Stratford.

Alongside these exhausting efforts something completely different was happening. Fans switching on recently for the first episode of Cover found Howard had stilled those firestorms of energy for his first major television part as Cover's hushed, menacing Cragoe.

When the Stratford season ended recently, Alan Howard went on holiday with journalist Sally Beauman, with whom he has lived for some years, and their five-year-old son, Jamie. At the even more tender age of threeand-a-half, Jamie sat through four-and-a-half hours of Coriolanus to watch his father leaping about covered in blood. An experience to stun a lesser child, it left Jamie a devoted theatre-goer.

Around the time Cover typically does not reveal all in the last episode, Howard will be off with the R.S.C. for its yearly five-week

takin a thane on intrigue

Cover/ Tuesday 9.0 stint in Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Howard loves playing Newcastle, even if it does take him away from his family. He says the audiences are fantastic, the best in the world, laughing and crying, clapping and shouting and coming back for more. The Newcastle season is always sold out before it opens.

After that, he plans to absent himself awhile from the Bard.

For the time being enough is enough, even for as hyped-up a Shakespeare addict as Alan Howard. He is contemplating a modern play for the R.S.C. He will not be drawn too much on this, but it is fair to describe it as a problem-packed piece from which Howard will tease out all the realities he can find. (A psychiatrist who saw his Richard III wrote to tell Howard that his psychopathic prince was dreadfully true to life.)

For years, Alan Howard's contributions to large and small screens have been meagre. He has stuck mainly to the stage, turning down quite a few scripts. He gets a bit peppery at the memory of endless waits while deals were beadily sorted out and the simple statement, "this is movies", was supposed to soothe him when he protested. It was because of a film which fell through that he came to Cover. Philip Mackie's scripts plopped on to the mat at about that time. Howard read them twice and said yes. "I thought they were very funny and more than a bit black. I loved the central theme, the deception game."

Since exploring the way people see themselves and want others to see them is a large Shakespearian preoccupation, Howard feels at home with Cover.

"I found it intriguing and dangerous and genuinely mysterious. An extra track of mystery runs through Cragoe. There's something faintly or more than faintly diabolical about him, and it may be for good or ill. A great many factors motivate us all.

"Cragoe is one of those people who put on a role and say, I'm -1„ absolutely together and you'll never find/continued on page 13 11

"continued from page II fine. But he also thinks he's still human.

He's convinced himself that he still has a heart beating there.

"In the end, there's blood on all their hands. It's a doomed office. Yet there seems to be a curious search to get to the essence of truth."

What he calls the risk factor also appealed to Howard. This factor arises from Cover's characteristics. "I thought the series might confuse and irritate people even more than Tinker, Tailor.

It's even less conclusive because it's not governed by an overall plan. We all made up our own scenarios about what we were doing in the organisation, which was fun."

It was fun, too, for Alan Howard to evolve his part within a team. Collaboration, which stimulates him and is an important part of his work pattern at the R.S.C., is seldom found in one-off television. In fact, the kind of group creativity which sparks him

Howard...a lion of the stage can only take place within a series.

"There's a danger that studio techniques will take over at the expense of the acting. It can get difficult to unravel mistakes, whereas in the theatre everyone comes to the rescue when you're up a gum tree. So getting to know everybody in the high technical business of television is rewarding: , Another, perhaps less expected reward, was the relief of scaling down his customarily vast style for sitting-room screens. "Acting in a big house is one of the most difficult things to do. You have to contact 1,500 people, all of whom are sitting different distances away from you. You mustn't slaughter someone in the front

row while reaching the ones in the top back row; but they're entitled to their buzz as well.

"There's a dictum that you can't go over the top on the box because it really shows. But too often television acting is so bland and uncommitted for fear that someone in those rooms will say, I saw the back of his throat. I had to get to know when the camera came right in on me, but the intensity should be there in anything you do.

"Television acting very often provides a chance to do something one wouldn't do in the theatre, and to do it with integrity, with the maximum rather than the minimum of what you're trying to convey. Life is compli-

cated, but the more complicated it gets the more entertaining you can make it.

"There's a lot of hanging about on-set, but I try not to worry.

Tension can work well or badly for you. I enjoy rehearsals because of the proximity and the intimacy and, I think, purpose. We discussed everything, including objects.

Objects are terribly important as a reflection of what people are.

The clothes you wear say an awful lot."

Howard felt great in his Cragoe clothes. Out in nature, he is mostly clad in the actor's statutory apparel of jeans, sweater, leather bomber jacket. "I aspired to a wardrobe like Cragoe's in my teens. It's an area that can explain him. He's fastidious. He likes a few things of very high quality, and brown and grey are all he ever wears." Howard hankered enough after one grey hat to acquire it. Then he left it on the underground. He is still wistful about that hat.

-

O

Alan Howard's career has been principally on stage— his Richard In (left) and Coriolanus (right) were triumphs and widely acclaimed by the critics. Still, he decided to do Cover because: "I loved the central theme, the deception game."

Roy Hudd as two of his great movie heroes, Laurel and Hardy. He watched their films every Friday for 17 weeks.

Movie Memories

id •'s

by Cordell Marks

SK ROY HUDD,

the presenter of

Movie Memories, for his A heroes

and heroines and he lists Max Miller, Laurel and Hardy, his granny and Morris Aza. Morris who?

"My agent who, it has to be said, is a guiding light. Not only has he made money for both of us, but he's allowed me to be creative too. It was Morris who suggested me trying the acting.

"Showbusiness," says Roy Hudd, "is a minefield. With Morris we've negotiated our way through very nicely. He's a hero.

Hudd says he became a comic because at school he was the skinny kid with glasses who tried to make the other kids laugh rather than have them thump him. "All I ever wanted from life," he says, "was 52 weeks of work a year. Anything else was a bonus. But I've been very lucky.

The bonuses arrived as well."

He's now a skinny 46-year-old with glasses. On the day I met him he wore a fiat cap. He is a perky character : he calls you "mate" and he talks about his wife as "the missus". He attended Croydon Secondary Technical School where he was taught plumbing, bricklaying and carpentry. "Never touch it now," he says. "Anything like that to be done round the home my missus does it. Funny woman my missus."

The biggest bonus, and certainly the most unexpected in his career, has been the series of commercials he has made advertising Lyons Quick Brew Tea Bags. He has a Georgian house in Henley-onThames bought with the fees. "I can't mention a figure," he says, "but I have to say those commercials have been very rewarding. It's ridiculous.

"The house? Well it's a one, two, three, five-bedroomed house with half-an-acre of garden and we've got geese and a vegetable garden. My missus freezes all the vegetables. We haven't bought a vegetable since we moved in." Previously Hudd, his wife Ann and only son Max, who is 16 and was named after Max Miller, had lived in Streatham in South London. "I didn't know how I'd take living away from London," he says, "but it took a quarter of an hour to get used to the change "

Honest. Straight up. A quarter of an hour."

Those commercials have even given him a catch-phrase. When he is doing a summer season or in pantomime like this year with Babes in the Wood at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, he only has to mention his "little perforations" and there is audience response.

"Showbusiness is a very strange game," he says. When that little perforations line was first dreamed up, the Quick Brew people thought it might sound rude. "Don't ask me why," says Roy Hudd.

On Hudd's desk at home is a framed motto attributed to the late Mike Todd, once the husband of Elizabeth Taylor. It reads : "Have success and there will always be somebody to say you have talent."

Hudd says there's truth in that; what he has achieved has come with hard work. "I'm all for hard work.

I can't forgive people their apathy."

As a child Hudd was brought up by his grandmother. His father left home and his mother committed suicide. "My childhood? Well no, not the best," he says, "but in some ways I had a great time. Grannies are great. Everything made her laugh and she took me to the Croydon Empire on Tuesday nights and that was the start of it all. The tragedy was that she died when I was 16.

She never saw how I got on and I couldn't reward her."

Hudd's heroes throughout his career have been Max Miller, with whom he once worked at the Finsbury Park Empire, and Laurel and Hardy. He never met them but for 17 weeks on Friday afternoons he saw their films. "It was when I was working the Victoria Palace with Danny La Rue. There was a Jacques Tati season at the cinema nearby and they were on the same programme. Imagine, 17 weeks of seeing nearly always the same film, but I loved it. Good gentle comedy."

Roy Hudd has never lost that enthusiasm for showbusiness. "I'm still in love with it," he says. "My missus says I'll kill myself and perhaps it has been my downfall. The disadvantage is that people don't know what I'm going to do when I come out to entertain. But it certainly makes it fun."

WOMEN'S LOB... isn't quite Wimbledon, that's hardly surprising. Racket-wielding actress Susannah Fellows, called on to take the role of Women's Libber Annabel Lee—a mean tennis player — in Tuesday's episode of Cover, confesses cheerfully : "I've never played the game in my life."

She does, however, look rather good in a mini-skirt, and she had some sound tips on the game during filming at the Foxhills Country Club, in Surrey, from Katie Threlfall, 23-year-old daughter of broadcaster Bill Threlfall, who coaches at London's Hurlingham Club.

"I felt rather guilty", admits Susannah. "There was Katie, doing all the hard work while I stood and watched—then up I stepped for the close-ups, looking determined and all that. I had such an easy day."

Nevertheless Susannah ed to take up doesn't feel inclin the game. "My arms ached for weeks", she said. "I'll stick to dancing and gymnastics to keep in shape."

filfir THE PAGES THAT TAKE YCU BEHIND THE THE INSIDE STORIES OF TELEVISION PRESENTED BY ADRIAN FURNESS

A SWING AND A PRAYER

THERE IS an awful moment every golfer knows: the instant when your beautiful drive down the centre of the fairway decides instead to take the scenic route to the next county. It doesn't help when you are being watched by crowds, cameras and some of the world's top professionals.

It happened — as our pictures show — to Efrem Zimbalist Jnr., sometime star of 77 Sunset Strip, in last year's Bob Hope British Classic. Undaunted, Zimbalist can be seen again this weekend, one of a host of stars appearing in the pro-am Bing Crosby Golf Tournament from the Pebble Beach links in California.

It is several years since Zimbalist, then playing a veteran sleuth in The F.B.I., was last on our screens, though he tried his hand at a comedy show a couple of years ago.

Now 57, he is reported to spend the greater part of his time on the golf course— practising his swing.

FINALLY the filming has come to an end. The television production of Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited is "in the can". Viewers can expect to see it in the autumn.

When shooting began, early in 1979, it was hailed as the largest-scale film serial ever made by British television.

It is also probably Britain's most expensive—at an estimated cost of £5,000,000.

IT'S NO JOKE FOR JIM

makes Cockney comedian Jim Davidson happier than standing up to his thighs in water, fishing. While he was recording his current Thursday-evening series at Thames Television's studios, overlooking Teddington Lock, Middlesex, he rented a house by the river and gathered together his tackle.

But not even the tiddlers would play. "I fish every night in the summer near my home at Faversham in Kent," grumbles The expressions tell it all—it's big trouble for Zimbalist Davidson. "Yet at Teddington I didn't get a bite."

NOTHING

The ITV strike in 1979 caused the delays, throwing production plans into confusion. But the finished product is a television epic by any standards.

The cast list includes Sir John Gielgud, Claire Bloom, Stephane Audran, Diana

Quick and Jane Asher. Among the locations were Malta, Venice, the Q.E.2 (en route between New York and Southampton), Oxford and Castle Howard, Yorkshire, the stately home which belongs to George Howard, chairman of the BBC, and which is the Brideshead of the film.

It was at Castle Howard that the Brideshead cast (Anthony Andre who plays

Lord Sebastian Flyte, can be seen in the centre of the photograph) joined members of the Middleton Hunt and stunt men for filming.

• The photograph was taken with a 35mm Widelux camera, equipped with a pivoting lens which gives an ultra-wideangle shot. The result is that the negatives are 59mm in length — two-thirds as long again as those of a normal film.

watching next Thursday's episode of Sapphire and Steel Joanna Lumley will check that she has packed a toothbrush for the 21st Monte Carlo Television Festival.

Fellow visitor to a previous Festival was Dennis Waterman . . . who forgot his toothbrush. "Night shop-hunting for Dennis's toothbrush was no way to discover the magic of Monte Carlo," says Joanna.

Nor will she see a lot of the Monaco magic this time round. Joanna is one of the members of the drama panel and will hide away from the Mediterranean sunshine for a total of 37 hours to assess the merits of 34 programme entries from 22 countries.

AFTER

• TAXI DRIVER Lou Miller has won a day out and an engraved goblet from University Challenge. Not for appearing on the show—but for saving it after host Bamber Gascoigne, while in London, left a bag containing the questions for the Challenge Final in his cab.

One hour and two fares later, the cabbie found the red canvas bag and, with some astute detective work, returned it in time for the show.

His reward: an invitation from Granada Television to see the programme made, a celebration dinner—and the silver goblet, inscribed "University Challenge thanks Lou Miller."

Lou's verdict ? "Fantastic".

• IT MUST be the legs that do it. John Travolta is r eportedly taking home one million dollars for launching a pair of jeans in a commercial on Brazilian Television.

• BRIGHT new comedy opportunity for Paul Squire, the

21-year-old Manchester-born funny man who was a hit at last year's Royal Variety Performance. Squire, currently appearing in pantomime in Glasgow, is to record a series for ATV at. Elstree, Herts., in April.

• WATCH OUT—The eMrsacuomingbk.tThe oddball family are to star in a two-hour TV movie, The Munsters' Revenge, being made in Hollywood by Universal-TV. Fred Gwynne (Herman), Yvonne De Carlo (Lily) and Al Lewis (Grandpa) of the original Munsters are in the cast.

• IT WAS an emotional experience for actress Pamela Manson narrating Sunday's Morning Service, the first from an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue (most ITV areas). Her family has been connected with the Great Synagogue in Leeds for many years. "It was a great honour . . . I met people I had known when I was in my teens," said Pamela, 49, who appeared in Barmitzvah Boy and the comedy series Backs to the Land.

Johnny Cash teams up with Miss Piggy for an old-fashioned hoedown in The Muppet Show on Sunday.

Johnny says: "I just love the show for the joy it gives everyone. Forced to choose favourites I'd go for Miss Piggy and Animal . . . an irresistible force and an immovable object. But don't ask me which is which."

OUT OF THE BLUEIT'S ANOTHER RECORD

LAST CHANCE, Colorado, is a place where little happens—a tiny hamlet east of the Rocky Mountains in America's vast mid-western farmlands. Life there is folksy and simple.

Drinking champagne at any time, let alone lunchtime, would be regarded as suspiciously "foreign" and bizarre.

But all that changed for one local farmer the day he looked up into a cloudy sky and saw a huge red, white and blue balloon coming down in one of his fields.

He watched speechless as Julian Nott stepped from the balloon's pressurised cabin and claimed, in an unmistakably British accent, a hot-air balloon world altitude record of 56,100ft. — or nearly 11 miles.

Nott's achievement, recognised by the Royal Aero Club as a British national record but

which was still to be ratified as a world best, is featured in Wednesday's ATV documentary Stretching the Limit.

Within minutes a convoy of 20 vehicles, in radio contact with Nott since he took off from Denver three-and-a-half hours earlier, swung into the field, horns blazing a victory fanfare. The champagne bottles were opened and the puzzled farmer shrugged and joined in the celebrations.

Earlier that morning a silver-haired lady of 70, living on a remote farm 60 miles away, received a visitor who fell from the skies in a shining white jump suit, goggles and oxygen mask and trailing a multi-coloured parachute. It was cameraman Leo Dickinson, who had filmed the early stages of the ascent and then baled out at 18,000ft.

To the elderly lady, who

kept prodding him to see if he was real, Dickinson could have arrived from outer space. "I've lived here 40 years," she drawled, "and I swear I've seen nothing like you in my life before."

Recovering her equilibrium, she insisted on giving Dickinson al continued on page 24

Meanwhile, thousands of feet above Colorado, Julian Nott was striving to regain the world altitude record he had held for seven years until 1979 when America's Chauncey Dunn reached 52,400ft.

The altimeter finally told Nott what he wanted to know; once again the record was his.

Outside the cabin the temperature was minus 69deg. Centigrade but at a height of

56,100ft. the sky was a beautiful dark blue.

Said Nott : "The whole experience was a wonderful combination of modern technological achievement and what is still the oldest form of air travel."

Enthusiasts from all over the world had gathered 10 days earlier at Albuquerque, New Mexico for the annual hot air balloon festival, the largest balloon festival in the world.

STEWART KNOWLES

DIGGING UP THE CLUES TO LIFE

documentary In Search of the Past is a true detective story about a man who has spent a lifetime trying to solve some of the world's greatest mysteries.

He's Professor Glyn Daniel of Cambridge University (above) one of Britain's most distinguished archaeologists and also an author of detective stories.

Like the hero of his book The Cambridge Murders — who was also a Cambridge archaeology professor — he is skilled at piecing together fragments of evidence. But when your aim is to solve the mysteries of THURSDAY'S

the origins of man and you're dealing with events which happened thousands of years ago, the assignment calls for the talents of a super sleuth.

Professor Daniel is the editor of a popular series of books about ancient people and places now reaching its one hundredth edition, and inspired Anglia's networked series W ho were the British? and The Lost Centuries. He is also a world authority on ancient stone monuments known as megaliths.

In the 1950s he did much to popularise archaeology on television as chairman of the BBC's long running series, A nimal, V egetable, Mineral? with Sir Mortimer Wheeler. And in 1955 he was voted TV Personality of the Year.

Professor Daniel has applied his detective talents to investigating many of archaeology's scandals.

He has followed the Piltdown Man case ever since the so-called Sussex Ape Man skull was established as a fake in the early Fifties.

Many believe the culprit was the discoverer, Charles Dawson, fired with Darwin's ideas.

But Professor Daniel isn't sure, and hopes one day to nail the real forger who ingeniously stained and modified a human skull and an orang-utan's jaw.

He describes as "lunacy" the extreme view that civilisation has been handed down by superior sources from beyond—popularised by the "ancient gods and spacemen" school.

"That is why programmes that present the facts are so important," says Professor Daniel.

"People should be given the facts through the media and books which balance the lunacies of Atlantis and people from outer space."

FILMS presented by David Quinlan

SATURDAY EVENING: Our Miss Fred (Danny La Rue, Alfred Marks, Lance Percival, Frances de la Tour). 1972. Bawdy World War Two comedy with La Rue clambering in and out of drag faster than the rate of doublesentendres. Award-winning actress Frances de la Tour is far and away the best thing in the film.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Blithe Spirit (Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond, Margaret Rutherford).

1945. Another happy Noel CowardDavid Lean collaboration to follow their success with In W hich W e Serve and This Happy Breed. This delightful comedy which, like Breed, is superbly shot in Technicolor by Ronald Neame, gave the honeyvoiced Kay Hammond one of her best film roles, as the ghost of Rex Harrison's late wife, who turns up to haunt his new bride. Margaret Rutherford also scores heavily as an eccentric medium, Madame Arcati.

MONDAY AFTERNOON: My Girl Tisa (Sam Wanamaker, Lilli Palmer, Akim Tamiroff). 1947. Lilli Palmer did rather better than then-husband Rex Harrison did during their stay in Hollywood in the late Forties, making some excellent films, which also included Cloak and Dagger and Body and Soul. This charming period drama, with its strong romantic flavour, featured her appeal at its

best. Allen Boretz's perceptive script takes some gentle but amusing sideswipes at politicians and red tape.

Oddly enough, the film's happy ending was changed on its British release to an unhappy one—a rare occurrence for the time.

FRIDAY Stolen Hours (Susan Hayward, Michael Craig, Edward Judd, Diane Baker). 1963. A real tear-jerker is this remake of Dark Victory (for which Bette Davis nearly won a third Oscar in 1939). Yet there is often great charm about its story of a rich socialite who, with a year to live, grabs her chance of happiness while she may. And one cannot imagine anyone being better than Miss Hayward in the lead.

LATE NIGHT: Of Mice and Men (Burgess Meredith, Lon Chaney Jnr., Betty Field, Charles Bickford). 1939.

It was unexpected that such a fine version of John Steinbeck's controversial • stage play should emerge from pre-war Hollywood. But this was a Hollywood dismayed by the loss of its European market and determined to win greater esteem for its own films within the United States. Director Lewis Milestone drives a fine line between restraint and realism in his expert handling of the tragic story of a great dim brute of a man whose own strength (and lack of understanding of it) will prove his downfall. Lon Chaney Jnr. gives easily the best performance of his career in this touching role.

When Fred makes his entrance in full make-up, wig and evening dress, his audience has disappeared. The Germans have arrived.

Fred realises that if he admits to being a man, he will be shot as a spy.

The disguise is so convincing that chivalrous General Brincker offers to protect "her" from the Gestapo . .

BUYA CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM WITH A BIT MISSING AND YOU'LL PAY FOR T.

Without a complete set of insulation and heating controls your central heating system could burn up to 50% more fuel than necessary. You won't regret spending a little extra to make your system complete. These bits should pay for themselves in about two years, and go on saving you money year in, year out.

C

r- r- P-13P-OrTr

A time switch turns your system on and off automatically. You have heating and hot water just when you want it and you don't pay for heat you don't need.

An insulating jacket like this (one with a BSI Kitemark) will cut heat loss from your hot water cylinder by about 80%. And the water will stay hot a lot longer.

A room thermostat will keep your house at the temperature you set. This means the heating is kept under control, and so is your fuel bill.

Draughts are not only uncomfortable, they're costly, too. It'll only take a few hours to draught-proof the outside doors and main windows.

To: Dept. of Energy, Make the most of your heating, PO. Box 702, London SW20 8SZ. Please send me a free copy of your booklet.

Radiator thermostats enable you to set the temperatures you want room by room.

So you don't burn money heating rooms you're not using.

Filmed at live concerts at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham, last summer, it features artists like Sad Cafe, Elkie Brooks, The Average White Band, Lene Lovich and Hazel O'Connor.

Producer Richard Leyland, who resurrected the series Oh Boy! two years ago, says Rock Stage will be an attempt to bring the best contemporary rock bands and singers to television.

"TV has been guilty of neglecting rock music in the past and, apart from Oh Boy!, ITV hasn't had a decent pop show since Ready Steady Go in the mid-Sixties. Rock Stage is aimed at the sort of fans who go to watch live concerts, and it will feature performers who give their best on stage as opposed to the recording studio," said Leyland.

The first show, early next month, will be a compilation of all the artists taking part in the series, and it is hoped that a number of independent local radio stations will broadcast the programmes simultaneously in stereo.

ts a good time for music on television.

I Look out this week for Starburst, with a line-up including Billy J. Kramer and the New Dakotas and The Merseybeats. And apart from the nostalgic trip to Liverpool the show also features Don McLean who wrote the beautiful ballad Vincent as well as the classic American Pie. Wall Street Crash put in an appearance and artists lined up for future shows include Marti Webb, The Drifters, Amii Stewart and Gerard Kenny.

Where's The Who?

ountry and Western star Johnny Cash is the guest on this week's Muppet show and those granite features and black clothes will probably knock Miss Piggy off her trotters. The tough guy image is not faked. Cash has been involved in barroom brawls, rebelled against drug addiction and conquered a drink problem. Forty-nine next month, he has come through it all and is now a member of the Evangelical Temple in Nashville.

THEMES FOR THE MEMORY \ \Iwo ffir EWE STIPO MIgi

‘

FIFTEEN YEARS before punk, The Who was the original punk band, the rebels, resented by the establishment, loved by the avant -garde. And, like the Rolling Stones, it has stood the test of time. Although albums and public appearances are few and far between, it is still one of the most highly rated groups in the world. And for that reason, there won't be any tickets going spare when it hits the road for another tour this week.

The group has deliberately set out to play in smaller venues all over the country, with the exception of the Birmingham and London appearances.

There's nothing like a catchy TV theme to recapture the memory of a great programme, and in 25 years of ITV a wealth of tunes from top programmes has built up in the TV companies' archives.

Now there's an album available containing many of the most memorable themes. The musical) represented in its original form—includes the twice-weekly theme that takes you down Coronation Street, and the perky refrain that once signalled the Edwardian world of Upstairs, Downstairs. From Edward and Mrs. Simpson comes I've Danced with a Man and from Seven Faces of Woman there's the haunting melody She. The gal-

died in 1935, he had not completed his opera Lulu and his widow refused to give permission for anybody else to tamper with his work. His widow claimed to be in touch with Berg's ghost, so nobody was very keen to argue with her at the time.

Three years after her death, however, composer Friedrich Cerha finished off the opera, and the first performance in Britain of the completed work will be at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on February 16.

The South Bank Show will be recording extracts from the opera, which producer Tony Cash describes as "one of the major musical events in the 1981 opera calendar".

loping theme to the series The Adventures of Black Beauty and the dramatic opening music to Lillie are just two more unforgettable melodies on the album.

It is being sold in aid of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, so by purchasing a copy you will provide yourself with great listening pleasure while, at the same time, making a contribution to a splendid cause.

Each album costs just £3.50, including postage and packing.

Simply write a cheque for this amount, made payable to ITV Publications Limited, and send it to: C. T.B.F. Record Offer, P.O. Box 50, Market Harborough, Leics., including, of course, a note of your name and address.

SPINNING INTO VIEW

Video discs, which produce sound and vision better than you can get on video cassettes, are spinning our way—well, almost. After much publicity, they may be on sale in June or July. Philips are to launch their product—"The Laser Vision" video system—and estimate that the software business could be worth £144 million a year by 1986. Software refers to the discs (about £15 each). Hardware is what you play your disc on; that could cost £500.

F

rom one technological marvel to another. ITV character Metal Mickey is all set to become a recording star. He recently signed a contract with Dingles records : the ITV comedy show will be back in June and 10 million people watch it, so Mickey must stand a chance of having a hit.

• There is a fascinating story behind the concept album The Legend of Jesse James (A Et M Records). Paul Kennerley—who comes from Liverpool (not Nashville)—wrote the songs after producing 60,000 words on the outlaw as part of his research. When he finished the project he went to America to try to persuade country stars to

Two faces of Mike Berry —made up as Mr. Peters in Worzel Gummidge and (left) in 1963 play the characters in the story.

Johnny Cash and Emmy Lou Harris are just two of those who agreed to perform on the album.

The idea was a bit like taking coals to Newcastle but Kennerley pulled it off.

• You have probably seen the advertisements on IN for a David Bowie Album. Throughout January K-Tel bombarded our screens with them. The Best of Bowie (K-Tel) contains 16 Bowie numbers from his first hit Space Oddity through to his recent number one Ashes to Ashes. K-Tel need to sell a great many records to make a profit as the television advertising cost £200,000.

orzel Gummidge recently presented a silver disc to a certain pop singer because sales of a record called Sunshine of Your Smile had topped 250,000.

The singer was Mike Berry who stars as Mr Peters in the series.

Without the disguise Mike doesn't look so different from the way he looked back in the early Sixties when he had hits such as Tribute to Buddy Holly and Don't You Think It's Time ? Both characters from the successful series have albums in the shops at the moment.

Mike's record, If I could only make you care is on Polydor Records, and Worzel Gummidge Sings is on Decca.

JOHN DOYLE

ED STEWART'S FAMILY CHOICE Welcome to my new column, in which I will review some of the month's best album releases. Hopefully the records will appeal to at least one member of the family, with the range being the widest possible—pop to classics, country and folk to jazz.

First the youngest Gibb brother Andy. He isn't as popular in Britain as the Bee Gees. His smash singles in America haven't done the same business over here, but now they are all together on an album and I think you will have greater success with Andy Gibb—His Greatest Hits release on RSO. It could be a lucky Friday 13 in two weeks' time for Glasgowborn Sydney Devine, for that's the release date of his new album Heartaches. Sydney has sold more records in Scotland than any other Scottish performer, and after listening to He'll have to go. Oh Lonesome Me and The Party's Over, I think his popularity will zoom throughout Britain.

Vera Lynn nowadays sells more records in Australia and Canada than in Britain, perhaps

because she needed to update her material. And on her new album Singing to the World she has done just that. There are plenty of good, modern songs such as Daybreak (by Barry Manilow), My Friend (Neil Sedaka) and 1980 hits like One Day I'll Fly Away. Dame

JOHN

tR

Vera hasn't forgotten the older songs either.

CBS records have two superb but contrasting albums from Ray Coniff and John Farrar. Ray has turned to favourite operatic arias on The Perfect Ten Classics.

Farrar's album, John Farrar, gets the ESSA (Ed Stewart Seal of Approval). Favourite tracks : Reckless and It'll be Me, Babe.

The trouble with a lot of central heating experts is they stopped thinking about thermostats twenty years ago.

They're still putting them in draughty halls where they switch the boiler back on every time the front door opens. At Servowarm, we don't fall into this trap.

In our experience, the most efficient way to control temperature is room by room. We achieve this through the boiler and individual radiator valves which can even include their own thermostats.

And this fundamental difference isn't the only one between us and other central heating companies.

We design the complete heating system to use fuel more efficiently and save you money. We also manufacture everything ourselves, look after the installation and handle the servicing too.

JUDITH CHALMERS CHRIS KELLY Most holidaymakers who fly to Malaga in the south of Spain turn right out of the airport and head for the concrete canyons of the Costa del Sol. Judith turned left and rediscovered a slumbering land of brilliant white villages.

From there she reports on fly-drive and villa holidays as well as visiting the fantastic Alhambra castle at Granada.

Chris takes a Roman holiday, complete with Roman menu, in the Cotswolds.

Travel consultant is Robin Dewhurst.

FEB 2

Northern Ireland, an increasingly strident Loyalist backlash and an unremitting campaign by the Provisional I.R.A. demonstrated that the Irish problem was still unsolved. The British Government sponsored an initiative based on Catholics and Protestants (Republicans and Loyalists) sharing power, and the setting up of a Council of Ireland.

Against a background of Provisional I.R.A. and para-military Loyalist violence, the Protestants mounted a growing campaign of resistance to power-sharing which culminated in the Ulster Workers' Council strike of 1974. This brought down the power-sharing Executive and shattered the British solution to Northern Ireland's problems.

With contributions from the historians interviewed in the series, the film traces the recurring themes and echoes of the past which re-emerge in the present. It discusses the possibility of producing a different set of political parameters which might make a solution possible.

The programme includes specially shot film of the streets of Northern Ireland and the British Army, which portrays the Province as it normally is— a place in a state of muted insurrection.

The narrator is Rosalie Crutchley.

horizon,the ship is transformed into a glamorous resort.

There, you'll discovera choice of interesting bars. A diferent one for every night of the week.

A superb restaurant where you'll never see the same menu twice.

R A new floor show every night.

Nightclubs and a disco where the music stops only when you stop.

On any other kind of holiday, you'd have to go to several different places to find as manythings to do in one evening.

And you'd probably say goodbye to a lot of money.

On a ship like Canberra or Oriana, they're all under one roof. There are no taxis to pay for between nightspots; no booking the restaurant in advance; no ticKets to pick up before the show And no bills to be paid either. Because all your fooc and entertainment is included in your fare. Even your drinks are at lowshipboard prices.

But if you feel like spending a quiet evening in, that too is possible on a cruise. There are spacious lounges, and decks where all you can hear is the sound of the sea as the ship takes you on to your next port of call.

Of course, it's not every evening you feel like a nigl on the town. But when you do, it's nice to know you can always find it without even leaving the ship. .1/ P&O makes your money go a long, long way.

Prices start at around 1293 for an 8-night cruise. You can pay more depending on the size of your cabin and the length of your holiday.

Apart from your drinks and optional shore excursions everything else is included in your fa re. Yo u rfood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; b rea kfast, coffee, I u nch, afte rnoon

tea and dinner; your entertainment from the moment you wake up till the time you go to bed.

And your accommodation.

So you can see why a P&O cruise is excellent value. Particularly wlen you compare it with other :ypes of holiday you could take for the same money.

If you'd like a holiday where every evening is a night on the town, you'll need tosee our brochure.

WITH A HECTIC season of stage

shows ahead, a long weekend in the Emerald Isle was just what comedian Dickie Henderson needed. He wasn't disappointed when we took him there.

The delights of Dublin were new to Henderson and his wife, Gwyneth. The lively city is steeped in history and on a long weekend break it was hard to know where to start as there are so many interesting places worth exploring.

The Hendersons' programme for the first day included culture, food and sport—in that order— and their first stop was Dublin's National Gallery, purpose-built in 1864 and housing several thousand water colours and oils, by artists such as Gainsborough, El Greco and Corot.

"I didn't realise until today that sotemn portraits were painted because the subjects often had no teeth and didn't want to smile and appear gummy I" said Henderson, after talking to Homan Potterton, the Director of the Gallery.

Ireland is less than an hour's flight from London or Liverpool, but the relaxed atmosphere, the attractive Georgian squares. and the soft, lilting accents lull you into thinking that clocks have stopped. The gentle, unhurried pace soon makes you wish the rest of the world kept Irish time.

The Hendersons were captivated by Dublin's wide streets flanked by Georgian houses, each door topped with coloured fanlights. The intricate, wroughtiron railings and ornate street lights also attracted them.

Sightseeing gave the Hendersons quite a thirst and Neary's Bar, one of the oldest in Dublin,

made an ideal refreshment stop.

Dickie decided to go Irish with a glass of Black Velvet and a plateful of fresh oysters, "Food for the gods," he said, as he sipped his mixture of Guinness and champagne.

Back on the tourist trail, oaksmoked salmon looked tempting in a delicatessen so Gwyneth bought one to be posted home to England. "It's much cheaper at about £4.75 a pound, than in London, especially with the favourable exchange rate," she said.

Dickie is known for his passion for hats—he has a large collection from toppers to caps in his London home—and he was unable to resist a Donegal tweed hat in Brown Thomas's one of the city's leading stores.

He was also talked into a handwoven traditional Irish tweed jacket—good value at around £45. He was impressed with the reasonable prices: linen, Aran knitwear, pottery, Irish crystal seemed good buys for visitors.

"I've got to see some of the countryside," said Henderson, meaning that he wanted to indulge in one of his passions— a quick round of golf at Woodbrook, a few miles out of Dublin.

As well as being a haven for golfers, Ireland is a mecca for horseracing fans and a visit to the National Stud in Kildare was a must.

World famous for its bloodstock breeding, it is open to the public and for just 50p, visitors can see the Irish Horse Museum, where the skeleton of legendary steeplechaser Arkle has been preserved. Arkle, in the 1960s, won 27 races and

Dickie Henderson enjoys the countryside and on his trip to Ireland he managed to visit the National Horse Stud in Kildare, where handsome stallions like Malinowski cost £2,250 a mating. He also had time for a spot of fishing on the Grand Canal outside Dublin.

Superdome where the Saints play in the clouds

Dickie Henderson eats Irish at Neary's Oyster Bar £75,000 for his owner, Anne,

col Duchess of Westminster.

Once an enthusiastic rider, Henderson was keen to inspect the valuable stallions inside the stud. Malinowski, who costs £2.250 a mating, is just one of the many stallions who service about 60 mares a season.

Henderson decided to venture further into the romantic, Irish countryside and try his hand with rod and line. He found the perfect spot on the Grand Canal, about 23 miles outside Dublin.

The water, tinged yellow from peat, was freezing. Henderson gamely pulled on waders, and cast his line, but a leaking wader and the fading afternoon light forced him to call it a day —cold and minus any fish. But half an hour later, back at the hotel, Henderson cheered up with a classic Irish hot toddy": a tot of whiskey, sugar, hot voter and lemon studded with -

cloves. The hotel also had its own jacuzzi bath and its fierce hot water jets finally revived his spirits.

To compensate for his disappointing fishing outing, Henderson decided to sample the delicious fish menu at the Abbey Tavern, an elegant old restaurant about seven miles out of Dublin. A glass of Irish coffee, to the accompaniment of traditional Irish folk singers, provided a perfect ending to a pleasant evening.

"The atmosphere in Ireland makes one feel on holiday immediately," said Henderson.

"I can't get over how people are pleased to stop and chat—their friendliness is amazing. It has made us feel very much at home. It's a home we'll have no hesitation in returning to and exploring even more."

IF YOu ARE one of the growing number of holidaymakers heading West to America this year, and you find yourself within striking distance of New Orleans, it would be worth making a detour to the Louisiana Superdome, one of the wondeis of the modern world, as you will see in Saturday's World of Sport coverage of this year's Super Bowl—American football's "Cup Final".

The Superdome has made New Orleans, hitherto famous for jazz music and Creole cooking, into one of the world's major sporting cities. It took four years to build, was opened on August 3, 1975, and cost more than 20 million dollars.

Now regarded as the finest stadium in the world, it boasts more national and intern-tional sports events than any other. It is the home of Tullune (men's basketball team), the Saints, the Sugar Bowl, and Bayou Classic, (American football), The Pride (women's professional basketball) and has staged several world boxing championships.

Dominating the skyline, the Superdome covers a square mile, and has a free-span roof of 9.7 acres, made of an intricate steel web rising 27 storeys above the 160,000 sq ft arena. The stadium is so huge that clouds have been known to form beneath the roof and if the doors are left open it can even rain.

Moveable stands allow the Superdome

Football — American style — as you can see it on Saturday to stage a close-up view for 20,000-plus for basketball and nearly 77,000 for American football. More than 100,000 can be accommodated for pop concerts.

Six 22ft x 26ft screens on a 75-ton gondola suspended from the centre of the roof provide a close-up look and an instant replay of all the action through closed circuit N. The four ballrooms can be divided into 20 meeting rooms, and 28 small reception rooms. There are restaurants and cafeterias, a stadium club for members only, 44 refreshment stands, five cocktail lounges, eight bars and a gift shop offering everything from peanuts to gourmet food.

Reg Gutteridge, ITV's boxing commentator, has been to the stadium several times, most recently to cover the Sugar Ray Leonard-Roberto Duran world welterweight title fight last November. "It makes Wembley Stadium look like an attic," he says.

"The remarkable thing is how many families go together to see sporting events there—and they have fun. I went to a local football match. The New Orleans team—the Saints—had been through a bad run, and about 1,000 fans turned up wearing paper bags over their heads with slits cut out for the eyes. It was their humorous way of saying they didn't want to be seen to support a losing team."

The beautiful wooded peninsula of Presqu'ile de Giens, and below the Le France apartments —less than 100 yards from the beach.

Two weeks in the South of France for only £79 WHAT COULD BE more economical

this year than a two-week camping holiday in the South of France from only £79?

Its just one of the moneysaving travel packages the TVTimes Travel Service is offering from this Spring.

There is a choice of staying in large, comfortable frame tents on a well-organised campsite overlooking the sea, in functional beachside apartments for small family groups or in spacious fully-equipped mobile homes on an established site within minutes of a vast beach.

And there is a choice of travel —overland by coach from London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle, or by air from Gatwick to Marseilles.

Coach departures are Mondays and Fridays from May 11 to September 18. Flights leave every Sunday from May 17 to September 13.

Our camping holidays are at

A mobile home on the La Vole site at Valdras Plage, west of Marseilles.

and dishes. A cooking pack

dr of utensils and double-

burner cooker is also available at a small extra charge.

Prices for these holidays are from £79 a person for two weeks.

But if four walls and a roof are more your idea of holiday accommodation, our apartments—. also at Presqu'ile de Giensshould provide you with what you need at a modest price.

Le France apartments are less than 100 yards from one of the best sandy beaches in the area.

The apartments accommodate four people and are simple but comfortable. Each has a living room with two single beds, a curtained alcove with a double bed, small kitchen with cooker and refrigerator, a shower and balcony. All necessary cooking utensils, crockery and bed linen are supplied.

There are also a number of attic double rooms. These are sparse but completely functional and include washbasin and shower.

There is a children's play area within the grounds.

A TVTimes Travel Service courier will be resident in the apartments and the services of the other staff at the nearby La Reserve campsite will also be available.

As with the camping holiday, travel is by coach or air and two weeks in one of the apartments costs from £109 per person.

To the west of Marseilles is our third South of France holiday selection—mobile homes on the established site of La Yole at Valdras Plage. These large British-built caravans provide accommodation for up to eight people but we are restricting them to six or less for greater comfort.

Each is more than 27ft. long and 10ft. wide, with generous headroom. They contain two bedrooms, one with double bed, the other with twin bunks ; a bathroom consisting of a shower and washbasin with hot and cold running water, and a flushing W.C.: a kitchen with sink, cooker, fridge ; a dining area and a spacious lounge area which converts simply into a third double bedroom. Gas and electricity are connected.

The wide, safe sandy beach is only five minutes away through quiet vineyards and three miles to the east is the resort of Valdras Plage with all its attractions.

The spacious La Yole site is virtually self-contained with restaurant, bars, supermarket and even a hairdresser.

There are also excellent facilities for children.

Travel is by coach or air with prices from £109 per person for two weeks.

INTO CAMERA

With Jack Douglas

Bring back the belly laughs Writers of comedy scripts are trying to impress one another with their cleverness, says Jack Douglas. Let's return to the days of honestto-goodness humour I believe that the essence of comedy is to dare to be simple and that we are losing sight of this. Especially on television. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned. The trend now seems to be for situations and scripts to be deliberately way out. Writers are trying to impress other writers and show them how clever they are. They seem to vie with each other as to who can think up the most unlikely situation. Unless a chap is made to cut his throat with a razor blade while sitting on top of a barbed wire fence he is not considered funny.

I was taught that comedy material should be simple and broad-based, In the days of my partnership with Des O'Connor in the Sixties, we were constantly turning down material for sketches because it was "too

clever". The audience had to appreciate what we were after within 10 seconds and laugh. If they didn't, we scrapped it.

The super-greats were simple yet the effect of their humour is cumulative. My ideal comedians are Laurel and Hardy. I think all comics should be made to watch them regularly and learn from them.

Before they have been on the screen a few seconds they make me laugh. They also have courage, which is the hallmark of great comics.

I remember 011y sitting under a chimney stack when a brick fell on his head. Then another and another. When the seventh brick dropped, I was laughing twice as much as the first time. That's courage. Jack Benny had the same thing. He used to come on stage and look at someone for 25 seconds without saying a word. But the audience fell about. Jacques Teti had the same extraordinary physical presence.

You just laughed as soon as you saw him on screen as Monsieur Hulot. He didn't need a complicated script to get laughs.

I would like to see comics digging into their own experience and expressing themselves physically. Dudley Moore did this in the film /O. In one scene he tried to climb a wall again and again. In another, he tried to answer the phone after a visit to the dentist.

Just imagine the reaction I would get if I suggested to the powers-that-be that I'd like to do a sketch about a man who had difficulty on the blower because he had a gumboil. "Good Lord, we need something more unusual than that," they would say.

"That went out with the Ark." I Well, I think it's time it was brought back. I'm not against quick-fire gags.

Comedy is like a tailor-made suit. What fits one person is quite wrong for another.

People laugh at different things.

But supreme talents are universally understood. Charlie Chaplin, Chester Conklin and Ben Turpin did not need words at all. They were appreciated in China and Russia when they first appeaked on the silent screen just as they are today.

That is the test. I'd love to think that someone might be laughing at a routine of mine in 60 years time.

Eri A OHM Nearly new clothes • As a polytechnic student with long holidays, no job and little money, I decided to beat the boredom by sorting out my clothes. I had a huge pile of them, now oldfashioned, that I decided to bring up to date. With a needle, thread and a helpful Mum, I quickly turned baggy trousers into smart narrow leg pants, long-collared blouses into short-collared styles, and I've transformed other collars into mandarin styles. I also rejuvenated my old sandals by sanding them down, woodstaining and coating them with varnish.

After a day's hard work I now have a wardrobe of new clothes for no extra money.

Miss K. Fear, N. Yorkshire.

I think your imaginative approach deserves L'10 for the Letter of the Week. It is a shame to discard clothes simply because they're a bit out of date, and I hope your useful tip will set others on the road to altering their own clothes. For those who are wondering where to

simply dunk the jug in the mixture just before you start brushing. Another method is to rub the copper gently with fine sand, wipe it with a cut lemon and polish up with newspaper.

Waking up to love

Where there's a will • 1 am 84 years old and a

My partner and I live together and are planning to marry next year, but before then I must sort myself out. We go to bed, make love quite happily, then about three in the morning I wake and find I cannot stay beside him. I have to move to another room where I can go to sleep.

Miss C. P., Cornwall.

Genuine love is wanting to wake up with your partner just as much as going to sleep with him. Perhaps something is lacking in your relationship if you feel this is so strongly. I think the way to try and put it right is to talk it over thoroughly with your partner before you decide to get married.

Dull copper

widower. I would like to know how to make a will as I would like what possessions I have to go to my only child. I cannot afford to go to a solicitor and I have two insurance policies I want her to draw to pay for my funeral.

Mr. J. S., Newcastle.

I have spoken to our legal adviser who says you can afford to see a solicitor. Your Citizens' Advice Bureau will tell you which local solicitor operates the "Green Form Scheme" of Legal Aid. If you qualify, you can have up to £40 worth of advice free, and your will is not going to cost that much. Don't try and make your own will. It may cause your daughter a lot of trouble and expense.

• I have a small copper jug that has turned black. How can I clean it?

Mrs. D. Hicks, Middlesex.

Usually dulled copper comes up beautifully if you brush it with a toothbrush dipped in a well-dissolved mixture of vinegar and coarse kitchen salt. Boil up the vinegar and salt together and the blend becomes doubly effective, then

Katie regrets she is unable to enter into individual correspondence. We request readers not to send in stamped addressed envelopes for replies.

Last word With reference to your column under the heading Forget the Past (supposedly from a Mrs. S. W., Plymouth), concerning her husband's reaction to hairy nipples, I must put on record that your phrase—"a lot of men find what you regard as a drawback a real turn on"—is to be abhorred. The TVTimes is a family magazine and your remark is as far as I am concerned obscene. I have for some time suspected that your Dear Katie page is ghosted, if not an entire sham.

Mrs. Irene P. Collins, Horsham, West Sussex.

Thank you at least for not sending me your tirade anonymously. Every letter on my page is genuine. I reply to each one myself and take full responsibility. I'm backed by two invaluable researchers. I'm amazed to come up against such a blinkered reaction as yours. Mrs. S.W. of Plymouth is a married woman and hers was a very genuine plea for help. I just hope that my reassurance has helped her to regain her self-confidence.
