The begging letter that launched the Ice King and Queen PURE I MAGIC! -

by Linda Hawkins

t was the Seventies. The girls at the insurance office were chatting over coffee about the things they did in their spare time. Some said they went disco dancing, some played squash and some were so busy decorating they had no time for anything else.

'And what about you, Jayne?' Lesley Webster asked the quiet little girl in the corner. 'What do you get up to?' Tiny Jayne, no more than 5ft tall, blushed into her coffee cup.

Part Two 'Oh, I do a bit of skating,' she said shyly.. .

Across the road in the square, within sight of the insurance office plate glass windows, Pc 'Benny' Goodman and his colleague Chris were on duty. As they patrolled up and down outside Nottingham's imposing Council House building in the shadow of the great dome, their conversation turned to sport. Yes, said Chris, he was keen on sport, though the other policemen probably wouldn't

om page count it as such. His sport was skating. Ice dancing to be exact.

At the insurance office they forgot it; at the police station there was ribbing about 'ice prancing'.

But what nobody guessed was that this unlikely pair, a shy insurance clerk and a tongue-tied bobby, possessed a magic that would one day shake the world and turn them into Nottingham's most famous names since Robin Hood. Torvill and Dean make their last appearance on ice as amateurs in the World Figure Skating Championships from Canada, on ITV this week.

'We couldn't believe it,' says Lesley Webster, 'I mean, Jayne was so quiet and ordinary, in the nicest possible way, and Chris was so shy. Even when he'd been coming to meet her from work for ages, he never said a word. It wasn't until the British Championships that we began to realise.

We asked Jayne if we could go and watch, and she said, "Oh no, you'll be bored." But we went anyway and we were amazed. We knew they must be good to be in it, but they weren't just good — they were absolutely fantastic.'

Pc Goodman had a similar surprise. 'Chris asked if I was going to the championships to give them a bit of support. I liked skating. I used to watch it on TV, so I knew what sort of standard they must be. But when I saw them that night, I knew they'd be world champions one day.'

In fact, Jayne and Chris did rather better than that. As Torvill and Dean, they've won just about every ice dance title it's possible to win, including the Olympic gold

Off the ice and on to the snow: Jayne and Chris relax away from the build-up to the Olympics at Sarajevo last month. They had been placed fifth at the 1980 Olympics, prompting Jayne's colleagues at the Nottingham insurance office (top, left) to present her with a bouquet. A t that time, Pc Dean was still walking his Market Square beat in the city centre. Three years later, actor Michael Crawford, who had helped Jayne and Chris with their famous 'Barnum' routine, was there when they were given the freedom of the City of Nottingham.

medal. They've been awarded the o: MBE, and Nottingham Councilhas run out of ways to honour them. .11 Torvill and Dean have become the greatest ice-dancing partnership the world has ever seen, achieving so much, at such speed, _t they've left people bemused.

Everyone knows they're wonderful. The question is, what's the secret? 7t.3 Jayne Torvill, 26, and Chris Dean, 25, were brought up in E. Basford, a grey suburb of Nottingham, a lengthy bus ride from the ice rink. Jayne lived above her parents' small newsagent shop.

Chris, whose father was an electrician, lived in a plain, unpretentious house not far away.

As a child, Jayne was small and neat, always immaculately dressed, not a strand of her shiny light brown hair out of place. Her first skating teacher, Thelma Perry, remembers her as a 'cute little kid', the kind it's impossible to scold. 'I could never get mad at Jayne,' she says. 'In fact, she was the only one who could get me out of a bad mood.'

Chris was different. Outwardly shy and silent, nobody knew quite what he was thinking, yet even then he was popular with the girls.

'They all wanted to dance with him because he was such a goodlooking boy,' says Thelma.

Jayne started skating at nine after a school trip to the ice rink; Chris at 10 after his parents bought him a pair of skates for Christmas.

But opinion is divided about their star quality in those early days.

Some people spotted it, others didn't.

'I gave Jayne her very first lesson continued overpage

`We are telepathic on the ice. continued from page 5 and she stood out immediately,' says Thelma. 'I told her parents, "That kid's going to be a dancer."

'She was a worker and she was also a natural. So often the talented ones are the ones who pack it in early.'

Chris was a slower starter. 'He was average at first,' says his original trainer Pat Beet, 'but as time went on he began to overtake the others.'

'In the beginning, he wasn't such a technically strong skater as Jayne,' says trainer Mick Wilde, 'but he had charisma.'

Len Sayward, the trainer who taught both Chris and Jayne ice dance, explains: 'You can tell just by watching someone skate across the ice whether they've got it or not. Chris had it, but in thov early days he was very quiet and didn't seem to have many ideas about music or steps.'

During the early years, both Chris and Jayne worked with different partners. Jayne had been paired with Michael Hutchinson, who was three years older. They were sent, on Thelma's advice, to Len Sayward for dance lessons but, when Sayward went to work in Canada, she and Hutchinson changed to pairs skating. (The basic difference between pairs skating and ice dancing is that music and its interpretation must be much more evident in dancing than in pairs. And there are many more restrictions on dancers than on pairs skaters.) By the time Sayward returned, they were doings() well they decided to stick to pairs skating, and Sayward devoted his energy to another promising young couple, Chris Dean and Sandra Elson.

Neither Sandra Elson nor Michael Hutchinson realised the potential of their partners. Says Sandra: 'I had no premonition of greatness for Chris. I wasn't aware of the dedication he had in him.'

And Hutchinson: `To be honest, Chris didn't show any more signs of greatness than a lot of kids.

Neither did Jayne. She was so shy and timid she just didn't know how to display herself well to the judges.'

Although both couples did reasonably well, they eventually split up and, in 1975, both Jayne Torvill and Chris Dean were without partners.

'Len had moved into rink management by then,' says Mick Wilde, 'and I was helping trainer Janet Sawbridge look after Chris.

We were trying to find another partner for him, and in the end I said, "You know, we've got a girl

who'd do for Chris right here in Nottingham — little Jaynie."

'Janet said, "But she's so plain, bless her." I said, "You could make her flower."'

Wilde mentioned the idea to Jayne, but to his surprise she didn't jump at it. Her ice dancing was distinctly rusty after so much time devoted to pairs and she didn't think she was good enough. What's more, Sandra Elson was one of her friends, and a

partnership with Chris could put her in an embarrassing position.

Nevertheless, Janet Sawbridge persuaded them to give it a threemonth trial.

Working in such close proximity, ice dancers need to be compatible and it was obvious that Jayne and Chris complemented each other. Yet it takes more than compatibility and talent to turn promising skaters into stars. It takes unfaltering determination and

extraordinary self-sacrifice. They gave up romance and evenings out, they devoted every moment of their time to skating.

'Between Christmas and New Year, Jayne might allow herself one Martini and lemonade,' says Jayne's friend Lesley Webster.

'And that was it for another year.'

In the summer of 1980 they even gave up their jobs to devote more time to skating, and that was before they were awarded their famous grant from Nottingham Council following a letter from Jayne. So why, at a time when they couldn't have guessed the rewards their sacrifice would bring, did they do it?

With Chris, it seems, it was the straightforward urge to win. 'The outstanding characteristic about Chris is his competitiveness,' says Jayne. 'He is fiercely determined not to be second best to anyone, anywhere.'

With Jayne it's more subtle.

'Jayne's parents are self-employed people,' says Mick Wilde. 'They have to get up early to get the papers out — they exercise great self-discipline. They're the sort of people who don't quit easily, and neither does Jayne.'

But even given all these essential qualities, Torvill and Dean could never have reached the heights without that indefinable something extra — a touch of magic.

Betty Callaway, the international trainer, took them on in 1978, and gradually everything fell into place. Nottingham Council, impressed by their dedication, agreed to give them a grant of £14,000 a year, and because of Betty Callaway's international contacts, the excellent training facilities at Oberstdorf in West Germany were made available to Jayne and Chris.

There, high up in the mountains, Torvill and Dean developed their famous rapport until they reached the point when two bodies really did move as one. 'We are telepathic on the ice,' says Chris. 'There's simply no other way to explain it.'

Yet because they are so physically in tune and they skate with such emotion, people assume they must be lovers and are puzzled when they insist they're not.

Jayne and Chris seem equally puzzled by the speculation.

'We're very close,' says Jayne, 'closer than friends, closer than brother and sister, closer even than twins. But we're not in love.'

Whatever the truth, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are a hard act to follow.

Saturday: The Price is Right

Leslie Crowther and his wife Jean in their stylish Edwardian home set on a hilltop near Bath.

T

he man who will host The Price is Right, on ITV on Saturday, had just been down to the village, where everyone calls him Les, and bought a loaf. 'I've got the bread,' Leslie Crowther tells his wife Jean.

'But we can't possibly eat it. . .'

After their 30 years together, the elegant Jean knows better than to ask obvious questions and waits for Crowther who, with a conjurer's flourish, produces the loaf (see left) in the shape of a hedgehog — lifesize and, for bread, quite lifelike. 'Let's save it for the grandchildren,' says Crowther, getting out of his coat, 'they'll love it.'

There are three grandchildren and a fourth on the way. And the Crowthers, who have five children of their own, including 29-yearold twin daughters, are as enthusiastic about them — 'wonderful, a great joy,' says Crowther; 'absolutely enchanting,' says Jean — as they are about their beautiful hilltop home near Bath.

'Aren't we the luckiest people alive?' asks Crowther. It is hard to disagree. The stylish Edwardian house, of stately-home proportions, stands in two acres of landscaped gardens that include a lily pond, fountain, pillared summerhouse and swimming pool.

Inside, it is furnished with loving care and is a fine setting for the Crowther collection of Victorian antiques, including well over 1000 pieces of pottery. Crowther is no less elated about hosting The Price is Right, the new British version of America's top game show.

And yet, even after 36 years in showbusiness, many of them spent continued overpage

Everything in the garden is lovely for the Crowthers: Jean and Leslie, host of ITV 's new game show 'The Price is Right'.

in a commanding position, he stills suffers the kind of insecurity that makes him, as he puts it, 'accept the first reasonable offer that comes along'.

He knows, because he has read it in the papers, that Russ Abbot and Joe Brown were being considered for the job, and he knows perfectly well that careers, as one critic put it, 'have been blighted by a public failure as a gameshow host'.

He has seen the American version hosted

by Bob Barker but, so far, only on video. Surprisingly, Crowther has yet to visit America. He and Jean are about to go for a two-month holiday, in the course of which he expects to visit the studios where Barker's show is produced.

'The marvellous thing about the show,' says Crowther, 'is the excitement it engenders among the studio audience. Four people are called out from the audience to take part,

businessmen who would rather be buried in their papers and suddenly find this idiot rabbiting to them.

'The other day, on the train from Bath to London, I read an item in the paper about a Swedish tennis player being domiciled in this country for tax reasons. I thought that was wonderfully funny and I just had to share it with the entire carriage.'

Crowther is an amiable, agreeable man, popular in his village, active in church affairs and a worker for good causes. He is pleased with his success without -being pompous about it.

'I just love the whole thing. I think I'm very fortunate. I know I've worked hard for what we've got but everyone does that, so that's nothing much to be proud of. Most people, if they started out with very little, have had to work hard for whatever they got.

and until that moment nobody knows who they will be. Then they begin by pricing a prize — it could be a vacuum cleaner or a food mixer — and the one who gets nearest without going over the actual price takes part in a game for a bigger prize, which could be a car.

'In America, Bob Barker controls the show immaculately. It needs total decisiveness because the show has great pace,' says Crowther, who began his TV career in 1960, coping with boisterous children in Crackerjack.

Crowther, who has to learn the mechanics of 23 variations of the game, is good at making people feel at home.

'I think I am unpretentious and can speak to people on their own terms.

I find it easy to talk to people in the street,' says Crowther, who presumes that is why he got the margarine taste-test commercial.

headlines that hurt

FILM CLIPS recent pair of Abbott and Costello films has aroused lively interest among the still-large number of the team's fans. For most of the Forties, Bud and Lou were the reigning kings of American comedy, a phenomenon which mystified all the highbrow critics, who found them crass and unfunny.

Bud and Lou had fairly unhappy private lives, and often disagreed with each other in public. Also, they didn't take their film-making really seriously, always being eager to get to the end of the day and the nearest game of cards.

By common consent, their most successful spoof CHANNEL FOUR'S

and a loving relationship. I like happiness and I think you have to work hard for happiness. I don't just mean in terms of possessions but in terms of atmosphere.'

Obviously, the rewards are good. But is the price right — or are there times when the price is too high?

Crowther accepts that he has less privacy and is more likely to be exposed to unfavourable publicity than, for example, others in his village.

He says he was hurt, for about a week, by the critic who, reviewing the Palladium pantomime of 1971, said that Crowther was a popular enough entertainer but not everybody's idea of a happy Christmas.

In November last year he was banned from driving for nine months, and cheerfully posed for pictures outside Bow Street Magistrates Court after his case had been heard.

'It is just part of the price you pay for being well known,' says Crowther, who sold his Rolls-Royce

but will buy another in August when he hopes to be back on the road.

There was also some fairly disagreeable publicity surrounding his daughter Caroline's involvement with the black Irish rock star Phil Lynott.

They eventually married and now have two children — Sarah, five, and Cathleen, three — but at a time when Crowther was hosting the ITV show W ho's Baby?, one newspaper headline proclaimed: 'Gossips make life hell for Leslie'.

'Of course it was an irritant at the time,' says Leslie Crowther. 'But it didn't last very long and it is all water under the bridge now.

Anybody who has a wellknown face is bound to attract publicity. It cannot always be milk and honey.

'There is a price, but it is one you are perfectly willing to pay because the other side is so good and so happy. On balance, I would definitely say the price is right.'

comedy was A bbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), which is currently going the ITV rounds; meanwhile Channel Four has been reviving the half-hour television series which they made in the early Fifties, under the name of The A bbott and Costello Show, and which is really no more than a re-enactment of all their old vaudeville gags, some of which turned up more than once in their screen appearances.

During Easter Week, and again in the summer, the same channel will be continuing its occasional series of films starring famous comedians. This time there are even more rarities than usual, including Hoots Mon (1939) in which Max Miller performs his celebrated stand-up comedy stage act.

Other comedy premieres in the pipeline include George Formby's Get Cracking (1943) and Will Hay's first film, Those W ere the Days (1934). The season will also revive one of the rare film appearances of the unique Sid Field who, in the late Forties, was the toast of London for his music hall comedy caricatures.

set on the sangria-soaked Spanish Riviera, but the nearest Joanna Van Gyseghem got to the sun while making ITV's comedy series Duty Free was the hot arc lights of a studio in Leeds. 'When we started filming, I had just come back from my own holiday in Crete,' she says.

'By that time I was quite tanned, but as the weeks progressed I had to use a fake tan so that I wouldn't end up looking too pale.'

Joanna has been to Spain only once before - as a teenager - although she has travelled extensively in Europe. 'I used to pack far too many clothes, and it's taken me years to streamline my summer wardrobe down to the basics,' she says. 'Now I take only the simplest things. I pack clothes made from natural fibres - anything containing polyester just gets so hot.

'I like thin cotton dresses which are cut in a loose style and can be worn with or without belts. Kaftans are always useful and so are the big squares of cloth - kangas - to cover beach-wear. I live in those during the day; and flip-flops, though I always take a couple of pairs of alternative shoes.

It's tempting to pack more than you need, but you can't go wrong with white sandals and a pair of flatties when you're sightseeing.'

Co-ordinating z: wardrobe so that clothes can inter-mix means that it's best to choose a basic colour and build around it. Joanna loves white plus a few bright colours to give some different looks. 'White looks stunning with a tan,' she says. 'Bright pinks, blues and jade are a few of my other favourite colours, though I wouldn't wear them in England. They seem right in a hotter climate, though. I Comfort and relaxation go hand-in-hand on holiday, says Joanna V an Gyseghem. She prefers light, natural fibre clothes such as the matching silk outfit (A ), the cotton and linen combination (B) and the breezy button-through and shorts pairing over her bandeau swimsuit (C).

think it's important for clothes to double-up on holiday, and accessories are very important. For instance, I would dress up a button-through dress with a smart silver or gold belt for evening, but wear the same dress with a webbing belt during the day for a much more casual effect. I also like to take a shady hat and sunglasses, because I read a lot while I'm away.'

Tight clothes, including jeans, which she finds too hot, are definitely not on Joanna Van Gyseghem's holiday list, and she finds that strappy clothes can aggravate sore shoulders. Not that she is in the habit of getting sunburned because she is careful to use high-protection sun products and acquire her tan gradually. 'I think comfort is essential on holiday,' she says.

Feeling lazy, or doing the town, Joanna keeps cool and casual in a cotton dress (our main picture on this page and in D) or jaunty cotton blouse and trousers (E).

Below. The Eightiesstyle panel: (left to right) Eric Morecambe, filly Cooper, Barbara Kelly, George Gale and Patrick Mower.

New panel_ made for bea Ling most popular television panel games of all time - that was W hat's My Line?, the popular BBC series of the Fifties and Sixties in which a celebrity panel had to guess the occupation of contestants from different walks of life. Whether you were the Queen's dustman or a lady wrestler, you had the chance to beat the panel and go home with a treasured certificate.

This week on ITV, W hat's My Line? is back to entertain a new generation of viewers and to stir memories among those who watched it for 13 years between 1951 and 1963. The original chairman, Eamonn Andrews, is once again master of ceremonies, and every week one of the contestants is a famous face - the panel puts on blindfolds and tries to establish the guest's identity.

Eamonn Andrews well remembers that first show in 1951: 'The contestants were a street trader, a chauffeuse, a cocktail shaker, and a swimming instructress. "Street trader" was a polite BBC euphemism for "barrow boy".'

Andrews' experience on the show gave him a fascinating insight into the problems of panel and contestants. 'My advice to contestants was, and is, "Don't lie. Don't answer more than you are asked in case you give away too much. And remember, I'm on your side - we both want to beat the panel." ' For the revived series, the panel consists of ONE OF THE

A traditional Christmas Pudding, done to a turn in an amazing nine minutes.

That's how fast and helpful microwave cooking is.

And whether you boil, bake, stew or poach, less cooking time means more flavour.

What's more, you can use a microwave cooker for thawing frozen food thoroughly in a fraction of the time. For re-heating meals on a plate at a moment's notice.

And of course, microwave cookers can save you energy.

The handsome new Tricity 2004 puts all this and all the very latest microwave refinements at your fingertips.

For more precise cooking there are sophisticated touch controls

and variable power levels, which use energy more efficiently and give you a wider choice of cooking programmes.

It has three memory banks to store all you need to know about your favourite recipes. A temperature probe, so you can cook by temperature as well as time. A rotating oven turntable to make sure food is cooked — or thawed — evenly.

And another beauty of it is it looks so good, fashionably finished in two-tone brown.

So whichever way you look at it, the Tricity 2004 is just beautiful.

Built in to it is an array of guide pins and rollers with a vital job to do: ensuring that the tape runs smoothly.

Because even the slightest hiccup in a tape's running will make a drastic change to your picture quality.

And however efficient your video recorder, it's entirely at the mercy of these components.

Which is why Maxell devote as much attention to their cassettes as to their tapes.

The dimensions of every shell are accurate to tolerances of microns.

Guide pins and rollers are precisely perpendicular to the tape, and highly polished.

The width and cross-section of the tape itself are carefully controlled, and it has a mirror-smooth finish to minimise wear and running fluctuations.

All of which guarantees you a rocksteady picture, immaculately faithful to the original, play after play.

r TUESDAY Dead Men Tell No Tales

SATURDAY

The Beguiled 'Guess you're drying up like the rest of us women round here,' murmurs the housekeeper to the milkless cow — a comment which encapsulates the content of this, perhaps the strangest yet most spellbinding film that the Dirty Harry combination of Clint Eastwood and director Don Siegel have so far made.

Ostensibly a close-knit drama with a background of the American Civil War, the story soon develops into the kind of fullblooded Southern States melodrama, smouldering with suppressed passions.

[2 hours] 1970

SUNDAY Thicker Than Water This was the last of Laurel and Hardy's short films, and all kinds of misfortune befall poor 011ie in it. He gets his finger bitten, smashes a mound of crockery, is involved in a blood transfusion with Stan that goes wrong, and gets beaten up by his wife!

[25 m inutes] 1935

A Caribbean Mystery Agatha Christie's famous lady detective, Miss Marple, long associated in the cinema with the inimitable Margaret Rutherford, returns to the screen as played by Helen Hayes. After suffering a severe bout of pneumonia, Miss Marple escapes from the rigours of an English winter to recuperate at a hotel in the West Indies.

Co-starring is Barnard Hughes as a rich irascible old man who recognises in Miss Marple a kindred spirit to the extent that they become a sort of detective partnership.

[1 hour 45 minutes] TV M, 1983

MONDAY Ill-Met by Moonlight Slightly different from the usual run of war films.

Dirk Bogarde stars as one of the British officers who engineer the wartime kidnapping of a German general (Marius Goring) who commands 30,000 enemy paratroops in Crete.

It's a true story. The exploit was designed not just for its strategic military value but to make the Nazis look silly and encourage the Cretan underground.

As a tribute to Christopher George, who died so tragically late last year in his earl fifties from a heart attack, here is one of his best TV movies, an engaging drama of pursuit and mistaken identity in which George plays a magazine photographer who finds himself relentlessly hunted by hired killers. The script's strong vein of humour is very welcome.

[1 hour 25 minutes] TV M, 1971

WEDNESDAY Clue of the Silver Key A formidable cast helps build up the suspense very nicely in this, one of the first and best Edgar Wallace thriller films. One of the suspects is played by Patrick (Father, Dear Father) Cargill.

1959

THURSDAY Diamonds Are Forever Sean Connery's penultimate film to date as James Bond and one of his best. This is a sparkling actionadventure, pocked only by a few doubles-entendres so dubious that only Connery, purring like a sated leopard, could handle them.

Guy Hamilton's stylish direction exudes confidence and the action set-pieces really deliver.

[2 hours 10 minutes] 1971

FRIDAY Jet Storm

SATURDAY Cleopatra The sumptuous spectacle, especially the scenes aboard Cleopatra's barge, dwarfs everything else in this Cecil B DeMille version of the Antony and Cleopatra saga which has the considerable advantage of being less than half the length of the disastrous Elizabeth Taylor epic of almost 30 years later. It's the first of two films this weekend starring Claudette Colbert, the French-born Hollywood star.

Uncivil Warriors The Three Stooges go to war — the American Civil War, that is — in one of their earliest two-reel comedies, notable for the scene in which Curly helps a young girl bake a cake and gives her a cushion in mistake for the pastry.

Grip of the Strangler Literate horror thriller which brought Boris Karloff back to British films after more than 20 years away.

Jan Read contributes a fascinating plot involving a novelist investigating an old murder case, and there is a splendidly atmospheric ending. The great horror star himself is well on form.

[1 hour 23 minutes] 1958 TVMovies reviewed by KENNETH THOMPSON

Dynamic drama, told in the flashback form much favoured at the time, about a father's suffocating influence on his several sons. The style of the film makes it seem like a sort of I Remember Papa, but there's nothing very kindly about the character so vividly etched by Edward G Robinson.

Richard Conte and Luther Adler are effectively contrasted as the principal sons, and there are early screen appearances for Efrem Zimbalist Jr (later the star of numerous television series) and Debra Paget.

The studio, Fox, remade the film five years later as a western, Broken Lance, with Spencer Tracy memorable in the Robinson role.

[1 hour 50 minutes] 1949

SUNDAY Bluebeard's Eighth Wife Gary Cooper, who had previously starred for Ernst Lubitsch, master director of naughty-but-nice comedies, in Design for Living

(previously seen on Channel Four) is perfect casting for this later Lubitsch romp, as a millionaire who can handle money but not wives.

Claudette Colbert is the girl who aims to be his eighth (but not last: she's after his alimony) wife, and there's astringent support from David Niven, Edward Everett Horton and Warren Hymer, plus Franklin Pangborn in his typecast but delightful running role of the snooty hotel manager.

[1 hour 30 minutes] 1938

MONDAY The Silent Cry Stephen Dwoskin's films, often the centre of attention at international film festivals, are now being screened on British television for the first time.

Dealing with such subjects as sexuality and disablement, his films have been highly praised by some, roundly condemned by others — but always they have proved to arouse controversy.

This film, which is about an 'Alice' who may or may not step through her own looking-glass, is to be followed at this time next week by a programme on Dwoskin's work in general.

[1 hour 55 minutes]

1977

TUESDAY Simon Marshall Brickman, who used to produce Woody Allen's comedy films, branches out on his own with this deft, daft piece about a man who is brainwashed (by a group of boffins with nothing better to do) into thinking he is a visitor from outer space.

Alan Arkin is extremely funny in this role, and the film, although most of the amusement is in the first half, has some witty shafts to shoot at the American way of life.

[1 hour 50 minutes]

WEDNESDAY The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser A parable about man's inhumanity to man, from director Werner Herzo3, whose Fitzcarraldo was also saown recently on Channel Four.

Kaspar, played by Bruno S, a discovery of Herzog who lived in prisons and asylums from the age of three, comes over as a cross between Truffaut's W ild Child and Roeg's The Man W ho Fell to Earth.

His story is unbearably moving, although it has its moments of humour, as in the 'clever apple' scene, when Kaspar's unique logic wins a rare victory over his tormentors.

at The World Figure Skating Championships

CLINT EASTWOOD Somewhere in the American South during the final desperate days of the Civil War, 10-year-old Amy is picking mushrooms when she finds instead a blood-soaked Union Army boot. Attached to it is an allbut-dead corporal, John McBurney, his leg grotesquely broken just below the knee. Amy helps the wounded man stumble the few yards to the front porch of the Farnsworth Seminary for Young Ladies, where he is taken in by the head, Martha Farnsworth.

It is a disastrous decision for all concerned.

from Ottawa, Canada Britain's World, European and Olympic Ice Dance champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean perform their riveting interpretation of Ravel's Bolero live from Ottawa's Civic Centre Ice Rink. Dickie Davies introduces this final, fascinating phase of Chris and Jayne's amateur career from the city where they first competed in a world championship in 1978, and looks back on a week that will be remembered as an milestone in ice skating.

Commentator Simon Reed talks to them and describes this climactic performance — that of one of Britain's best-loved teams.

11.0 Voices SOCIOBIOLOGY: CULTURE ON A LEASH? What, if anything, determines the way in which human beings behave individually or collectively?

Are we programmed by nature or culture, by neither or both? Sociobiologist Robert Trivers argues that it is biology — our genes — which determines human social behaviour. Evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin challenges this position as scientifically unsound and politically dangerous. Sociobiology would seem to justify and endorse social inequalities, male aggression and racism. Anthropologist Marvin Harris insists that it is cultural not biological evolution that provides the only adequate account of human behaviour. The sixth of 10 arguments is introduced by Robert Hutchison.

Pounding the pavements? A pair of our Natureveldts would make you the envy of any Mr. Plod.

Hidden in their spongy soles is a network of airtunnels and pockets.

So your feet are literally cushioned as you walk.

Much the same effect comes from our Cityveldt shoe.

Except the aim here is more towards softening the floor of the Stock Exchange.

Similar air-cushioning cones are used. But they're adapted to a slimmer profile that'll go perfectly with your pinstripes.

For slightly racier pursuits, a pair of Hoverveldts might be more fitting.

Foam-covered, air-filled discs massage your feet as you walk. It's rather like strolling in a jacuzzi.

On a more down-to-earth front, each one of these air-cushioned soles is made of polyurethane. It's so tough, it'll outlast crepe, rubber or leather.

The uppers are supple breathing hide which is taken under as well as over the foot. Healthy as well as comfortable.

Ask your Clarks' stockist for a demonstration.

Walking on water may still be beyond us.

But walking on air? No problem.

It takes all kinds of Professionals to run the Army.

Any army in the world would grind to a halt if it didn't have skilled support where it was needed.

Here are some of the highly specialised jobs, available in the British Army right now, that help the Professionals earn and keep their reputation.

Every one of them offers good pay and promotion prospects. But make no mistake, these are no cushy numbers. You have to be highly trained as a soldier first and foremost, ready to carry out your duties under combat conditions.

ElectronicTechnician, REME and Royal Signals.

You've got to be quick to keep up with rapid changes in technology, so the skill of the Army's Electronic Technicians is crucial.

You'll receive a thorough training in every aspect of electronics, avionics, or communications, which leads to a BTEC or CEI award. Preferably you should have a minimum of 2 '0' levels, or equivalent.including Maths and a Science subject.

Combat Medical Technician.

Every soldier faces the possibility of being hurt or wounded, and someone has to have the know-how to help. In combat, a Combat Medical Technician provides the first vital treatment that can mean the difference between life and death, because he's the man on the spot.

Training is therefore to a very high standard in First Aid and basic medical procedures, and you'll have the opportunity to take a City and Guilds certificate.

day-to-day practice management.

You'll have the chance to train as a qualified dental technician or hygienist with the prospect of a full career in dentistry and good opportunities for travel.

Clerk/Storeman.

Without people to keep the wheels turning properly, the Army would quickly come to a standstill.

The Army Clerk has to have enough organisational skill to handle administration for hundreds of personnel and cope with the paperwork involved. The Storeman needs to be a specialist in supply, responsible for controlling huge amounts of valuable equipment.

In both jobs you'll get an excellent training, and every chance of travel.

The next step.

If you think you could cope with the responsibility of jobs as important as any of these and you are between 151/2 and, in exceptional circumstances, 33 years of age, we'd like to talk to you right away.

All entry age limitations may vary slightly according to Regiment or Corps. Call in now at your nearest Army Careers Information Office or post the coupon.

Warner -a suitable case for contentment?

A

s a student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, David Warner was a gawky youth, playing butlers and spear carriers, and expecting his career to continue in a similar fashion.

Instead, he became a star at the age of 23, playing Hamlet at Stratford, appearing with Albert Finney in the film Tom Jones (1963) and taking the title role in Morgan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Suitable Case for Treatment (1966).

Warner, now 42, is still the same awkward, loping figure of old. But in the intervening years, his career has somehow slipped away. Not that his talent has faded, simply that it has been confined in secondary roles in some second-rate films.

It is refreshing to find him centre-stage again in the title role of Charlie, the shambling private detective in the thriller series which starts on ITV this week. Alas, this is the exception, not the rule. Warner's explanations are dismissive. But his reticence does not disguise a sense of past anguish and disappointment. He expresses delight and new-found happiness in his recent marriage (his second) and the arrival of his first child, baby daughter Melissa. The discontent lingers, and his reluctance to talk only deepens

the mystery. Warner met and married his wife, Sheila, while working in Hollywood. He went there in 1978 to make what turned out to be an unsuccessful film. But he stayed on.

Remarkably, this was his first visit to the film capital.

He was invited 20 years ago, but was contracted to the Royal Shakespeare Company and so couldn't go.

He sometimes feels he could be doing a little better than he is; suffers an occasional pang when one of his contemporaries gets a marvellous opportunity.

'Not that I wish I could play that part, or that I'm better than X. I've never felt like that. But there are those who bided their time, learned their craft before taking on the big roles. I admire that.

'It is not a sacred mission being an actor. I've done lousy jobs, good jobs, mediocrity. But that's the pattern. You've got to earn a living and support your family to the best of your ability.

'I'm over 40, and by no means financially secure.

I've suddenly got a twoand-a-half year old daughter. After 25 years of being an actor, and not being settled, I'd like to give her a contented and settled life. Something I never really had.'

For many years now distant Pluto and mysterious Neptune have been playing a cat-and-mouse game In the Solar System. This reaches an exciting and important stage on Tuesday. It will result in a harmonious flow between the respective planets, opening up new spiritual horizons and giving you a desire for self-understanding. As this Neptune/Pluto link affects generations rather

Aries 21 March-20 April Profound psychological forces this week will bring a realisation that many aspects of your world no longer satisfy or represent your inner needs or true self. A compulsive inner drive will now set off a chain reaction that will bring about changes in your ego, ambition and physical needs. But don't expect to wake up next week 'different'; it will be a long time before you feel the change.

Taurus

21 April - 21 May You're in a happy mood this week, and should arrange a party or get-together with folk you like. You need a new social whirl; you want excitement, new friends and acquaintances. Enjoy life to the full, and don't turn down any good offers, either romantic or financial. An excellent time to embark on a long-term venture from Tuesday, but only if you're totally sure of what you're entering into.

GeMilli 22 May - 21 June

A supreme but uneasy week in many intimate areas of your life. It is time to look deeply at sexual relationships, where psychological barriers have been set up, either through habits, past hurts or intense emotional experiences. You must get rid of any problem that stops you experiencing anything but the truest feelings for each other. Your health figures strongly in your thoughts now.

Cancer 22 June -23 July Think of an egg— that's your creative potential at this time.

Very soon your talents will be hatching out. There are many forms of creativity — writing a book or building a home or giving birth to a baby. Don't write yourself off before you've explored the many creative avenues available to you. You could discover a love of someone or something that gives you unspeakable pleasure.

than signs, anyone born from the Forties onwards will be subject to its penetrating vibrations. Venus behaves coquettishly with Saturn, helping water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces to stabilise their love or business affairs. That same Venus shuns Uranus, giving some disruptive days to Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. An interesting week for everybody, momentous for many.

For those of you joining actress Julie Goodyear in a birthday celebration this week, this is what the year holds in store:

SaturdayA dreamy year coupled with more than your average share of luck. Just watch your vitality and energy level.

Sunday Super energy rays will help you push ahead for personal success. Be wary of emotional intensity— don't let it get out of hand.

Monday Y ou sparkle in 1984! However, try to control your outgoing and flirtatious nature; some folk may not understand your saucy ways!

Tuesday A scintillating year wit,i revelationary consequences. Y our life can never be the same after you discover your true self.

Wednesday Y ou love a natter, but look a mite too argumentative for my liking -still, you're OK!

Libra 24 Sept-23 Oct You're not at your best this week, partly because of your health and partly because professional plans have to be altered. This is not a good time to go on the razzle or burn the midnight oil. Money appears to be the reason for disruption at work, but it will also be a beacon on the horizon, as you will receive a heartening economic boost.

An excellent time to put cash into a personal project.

SCOrpi0 24 Oct - 22 Nov As Pluto is your planetary ruler, along with Mars, you will feel and respond to his compelling rays more than any other sign. With so many things happening in your sun sign, 1984 will represent a very important time. You will be well equipped mentally for the path ahead. The more you can develop your spiritual attitudes, the more you will be able to accept the tribulations of modern living.

Sagittarius 23 Nov-21 Dec A woman is all set to create havoc in the home unless she can be placated. Much of it boils down to current domestic restrictions. For various reasons the home and family represent some kind of prison, rather than a place of love and freedom. You'll be tempted to flirt with almost anyone just to bring some excitement into your life. Impatience is rife, and your spending habits are potty.

Capricorn 22 Dec-20 Jan A very friendly week, with some fine opportunities to push plans ahead with the help of a reliable pal or loved one. More importantly, you are at the centre of the Neptune/Pluto aspect, so I don't expect you, or indeed your life, ever to be quite the same again. It's very much an image factor with you. You'll want to change the way you look, behave and dress.

Leo 24 July -23 A ug

Aquarius 21 Jan - 19 Feb

Many patterns of your life are about to go through a metamorphosis that will deflect you from your present path. Your working environment will alter quite substantially, although it will be a subtle and prolonged process.

Be aware of psychosomatic ailments, whether the condition is yours or a relative's. This is a liberating week, a perfect time to release yourself from hidden guilt or torment.

The good news is that your career and ambitions look more positive and stable than they have for a long time.

An older or trusted person will rescue you from much of the drudgery. The bad news is — and it's not really bad news — that what you saw as your direction a few months ago is suddenly changed. It's also time to ditch a friend who has let you down time and time again.

Virgo 24 A ug - 23 Sept You will feel unsettled, and yet there is no need to feel afraid. You should use your desire for knowledge to kick out old thoughts and take on a new understanding of yourself and your life. Creatively, artistically and spiritually you will open up, but don't be frightened or ignore the inner vibrations; you're set to scale new heights. Take an interest in the paranormal and supernatural.

Thursday Y ou and Bet Lynch, dishy barmaid of 'Coronation Street' — in the person of Julie Goodyear, 41 today— can expect passion, romance and lots of luck this year.

Friday Y ou're as tender as a lamb chop, as loving as a baby, and you find manyamorous surprises this year. Be a bit careful of disapproving old 'uns.

Victoria, a 15-year-old from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, was one of 60 shortlisted for the part of disabled Letty Boot in Letty. A new ITV series starting on Wednesday, it is set in a children's home where, following a series of thefts, Letty sets up the Letty Bootlace Detective Agency.

She learned to handle a wheelchair at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield from three young disabled men.

The sprightly 67-year-old wartime bomber pilot, who came into the public eye through the appearance of one of his machines in the James Bond film Y ou Only Live Twice, is one of this week's guests in Madabout.

The Wing Commander has a high opinion of autogyros, seeing them as possible war machines that are light, can easily escape radar detection and can take off from almost anywhere. He should know - he has been building them for 25 years

What are autogyros? At their very simplest, Wallis describes them as 'manmade, flying sycamore seeds - with an engine and a propeller.'

The autogyro's rotor, unlike the helicopter's, is not powered by the engine. It turns in the air by the action of the slipstream through the blades, with an enginepowered propeller providing the forward thrust.

Friday: The Other 'Arf

Standing finds himself a real-life other half

E

ton-educated John Standing, who stars opposite exPeckham Girls' Comprehensive pupil Lorraine Chase in ITV's The Other 'A rf, proposed to his real-life other half on Valentine's Day. The plan is for a wedding next month.

Standing's other half is Sarah Forbes, writer and model and the daughter of film-maker Bryan Forbes and his actress wife Nanette Newman.

There is about a 25-year age gap between Sarah and Standing. He will be 50 later in the year. 'Age,' he says, 'is of as little consequence as class, which is another of those topics that some people go on and on about.'

People probably go on about class to Standing because he happens to be a baronet and his real name is Sir John Leon. 'What's that got to do with anything? For an actor, it gets in the way. I'd only be thought of as capable of playing one type of role. The acting baronet, that sort of thing. I know I'm not typecast now. I was asked N4.4 444 to play a dustman recently — though I turned it down.'

Standing's proposal to Sarah wasn't made on one knee, but while he sat in the bath. 'I remember I was covered in soap and foam. I just thought, "This is it.

This is the moment. Here's this wonderful woman, we've been together three years, we get on, let's make it permanent." Right i now I'm in a terrible panic, but .P., that's simply a phase. Underneath -1. the panic I'm dancing with joy.' 4 Sarah Forbes says: 'I watched i' John in an episode of The Other 'Arf, fell madly in love with him and thought I must telephone the i man. I'd known him since I was a Q child. Daddy had directed him in the film King Rat. I think when we first came together we were just desperately lonely. Our relationship grew from that.

'No, knowing him when I was a child and knowing him now, like this, doesn't seem strange. I don't think I've had a boyfriend whom I haven't known when I was a child. John Standing at My first boyfriend I had known his south London since I was eight years old, the flat, and with his second since, literally, I was a fiancee Sarah baby. It was the norm. The only (right) — daughter difference with John is that all the of Nanette Newman time I have known him he has and Bryan Forbes — been an adult. The other soon to become his boyfriends grew up with me.' real-life other half.

live in a studio flat in south London. It has been converted from what was once a women's prison, then a button factory, then a brewery. The walls are covered with pictures. The watercolours are by Standing, who trained as a painter before turning to acting. There is a photograph of Sarah in a nurse's uniform when she was six.

Standing's father was a stockbroker. There was a family country house in Buckinghamshire, almost stately-home size. It is now owned by British Telecom.

His mother was the actress Kay Hammond, his step-father Sir John Clements. A grandfather on his mother's side abandoned his family to seek his fortune as an actor in Hollywood. And when he was in his 60s, he had Betty Grable for a mistress.

This grandfather was last seen alive strolling nonchalantly to a Hollywood Boulevard chemist to be treated for a spider bite. The next day he was dead.

David Niven and Cary Grant both told Standing stories of his grandfather when he worked in films with them. 'Oddly enough,' says Standing, 'while I was in Los Angeles last year I was bitten by a spider. I can tell you I went to hospital jolly fast. I didn't want this

sort of exit from the world to become a family habit.'

His stockbroker father refused to speak to his son after he had announced he was to be an actor.

'Finally,' says Standing, 'after four years of not talking, I went and banged on his door and said, this is ridiculous. Actually, he was giving a dinner party, so we talked in the street. Then he brought a drink out, I went in and we both got smashed together. We were inseparable from that day on.'

He was left a legacy of £2000, but as there wasn't enough money to meet it, received half that amount instead. Death duties swallowed up almost all the rest.

'The remainder of my legacy — just £40 — went on a horse,' he says. 'A horse that lost. I'm not very good at gambling, I never know how to fill up the forms.

'I once went racing with my friend Charles Benson, the Daily Express tipster The Scout. I thought this must be it. This is where we clean up. I placed my money — and hopes — on an absolute certainty, and the poor creature went and dropped dead half-way round the course.

'I took it,' says Standing, 'as a terrible warning . .

Sunday: The Milk Cup Final 1984

Left: Everton's Kevin Ratcliffe clashes with Liverpool's Craig Johnston in the clubs' recent drawn league match. But fans Jimmy Tarbuck (above) and Ed Stewart have no doubts about the Milk Cup final.

T

he football rivalry runs deep on Merseyside, and two particularly wellknown fans, Jimmy Tarbuck and Ed Stewart, are sure they know which way the Milk Cup Final will go this Sunday.

'I've been a Liverpool fan since my dad took me to games as a little lad,' says Tarbuck. 'This Sunday, class is going to tell. Liverpool'll paralyse them.' Tarbuck's score prediction?

'Three-nil.'

So, what will Everton do against Liverpool on Sunday? 'Beat them,' says Stewart. 'Everton work hard and have a good defence. They'll win twoone.'

This soccer rivalry, which began in 1892 when Liverpool joined Everton as a member of the Football League, reaches its climax with this weekend's Wembley confrontation between the two famous Merseyside clubs, and you can see the game, live, exclusively on ITV. At the same time Scottish (STV and Grampian) viewers can see their own League Cup Final, live, on Scots port Special.

Star words about the battle of Merseyside -

Liverpool and Everton have never clashed before in a major final, although it has nearly happened five times in the FA Cup. Back in 1906, all Merseyside was hoping the two teams would win through to the final at Crystal Palace, but the draw paired

W ho has the stronger grip on the Milk Cup, Everton's manager Howard Kendall (left) or Liverpool's boss Joe Fagan?

them in the semi-final which went Everton's way after a replay. But it was still a year of joy for the fans of both clubs. Everton won the cup and Liverpool took the league title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an achievement which was repeated 60 years later.

In the 1950 semi-final

clash, Liverpool came out on top 2-0, only to lose to Arsenal in their first-ever appearance at Wembley.

1966 saw Everton at Wembley, under Brian Labone's captaincy, where they beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 after being two goals behind. Liverpool

again made it a double celebration by becoming league champions.

Liverpool again beat their old rivals in the 1971 semi-final, this time by two goals to one but, once more, the Arsenal bogey was too much for them. At Wembley the London club won 2-1.

The 1977 semi-final had to go to a second meeting before Liverpool beat the Blues 3-0. But, yet again, they failed at Wembley, going out 2-1 to Manchester United.

This time, Everton will not be daunted by the fact that their rivals have won the Football League Cup (renamed The Milk Cup in 1982) for the past three years and also have a record 14 league championships, three European Cups, and two UEFA Cups to their credit.

When it comes to the crunch anything can happen. One thing is certain, however â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Liverpool will be a deserted city on Sunday. Those who cannot get tickets for Wembley will be glued to their TVsets, their homes decked out in rival blue or red flags and banners. Harold W olfe 24-30 March 1984 TVTIMES

One of our teachers at school is getting married at the end of this term. We know she is very interested in cooking and we hope to collect more than £10 for a wedding present. As the bookshops are so full of cookery books, we wonder if vou could recommend a good one.

Alison Barber (aged 14) Highgate, London

I am delighted to be able to help.

I have just given 'The Sunday Times Complete Cookbook', presented by A rabella Boxer, to a young friend of mine who is about to marry. It is an enormous tome, beautiful to look at yet practical, and is divided into three sections — choosing and buying food, cooking it and entertaining. It is suitable for both beginners and experts, costs £11-95 and is published by W eidenfeld and Nicolson.

Wash wary 1 am a 23-year-old male living alone in a bed-sitter, and am not very domestic. When I spill things on my shirts and jerseys I never know whether to use hot water or cold, or what. Nor can I understand what the hieroglyphics on the labels mean, so I'm a bit inclined to throw everything in a heap in the cupboard instead of taking them to the launderette or dry cleaners. I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I think my friends are starting to avoid me. Can you help with some simple translations?

TB Salisbury, Wiltshire

Before your social life in the shires comes to an embarrassing halt, I suggest you get a useful book which explains it all. 'The Complete Home V alet', by Hazel Evans, is published by the Dry Cleaning firm of Sketchley.

It tells you how to look after your wardrobe, how to remove stains and decipher washing symbols.

It costs 75p from Sketchley or £1 by post from Biss Lancaster, 2 Tavistock Place, London W CIH 9RA . If it's just the label instructions which fox you, the W elsh Consumer Council publishes a leaflet called 'Know Y our Symbols', free from Oxford House, Hill Street, Cardiff CF1 2DR, on receipt of a sae.

Mother's boy I am sure I am not alone in this problem. At 22, I am engaged to a wonderful man, but his mother causes endless trouble. Before I went out with him I got on really well with her, but as soon as she realised we were

My fiancé takes a negative attitude, saying he has had enough of bickering. He is very much under her thumb. I cfon't even visit him at home any more, and worry all the time if his mother is turning him against me.

Julie West Yorkshire

W hat worries me most is that your boyfriend accepts this situation. If he refuses to take a firm line with her, to my mind you would be embarking on a marriage chock full of frustration. There is nothing more difficult than being married to a 'mother's boy'. Y our young man sounds too much of a moral coward to bring you much happiness, and although you may find this advice hard to take, think very carefully before going ahead with your wedding plans.

W hy not postpone this idea for a while? Perhaps 'The Penguin Book of Dogs', by Roger Caras and Michael Findlay, will give you other ideas on a suitable breed (Penguin £6-95).

Unwelcome guests

I know you have two dogs, so I am writing for advice. I had a poodle who died recently, and I would now like another dog. I want a Dobermann and my mum agrees, but she is not sure that our council house is big enough. She says it would be cruel to leave it alone from 8.30am to 12.30pm each day, even if I take it fora long walk in the afternoon. I would love and care for it, but would like your opinion, which I shall respect.

I don't want to sound selfish but I'm sure I speak for a lot of people living in holiday areas. It is a sad but true fact that friends and relations, who are normally-quite considerate; seem to take it for granted that when they are looking for a cheap holiday they will be welcome in your home. They don't seem to think about whether it is convenient or desirable to you. I suggest to anyone who is moving to a holiday area to say 'no' right from the very first summer to anyone who asks if they can come to stay for their annual break.

That way no one comes to expect that you always have 'open house' just because you live in a holiday area.

Friends and neighbours agree — we can't stretch accommodation or expenses any more than anyone else.

Sharon (aged 14) Glasgow

Mrs NM Dorset

Having a rescued poodle in my life now, and having had a beloved Dobermann when I was about your age, I have to agree with your mother's advice. Even if you had a bitch, which is usually more docile and easier to train, you probably have not got the physical strength at 14 to cope with a dog of this kind during its exuberant youth, nor

1 don't think that is selfish at all, just sensible. I can't bear people dropping in, and would never assume that I was welcome at any friend's house without checking first. I'm sending you £10 for my Star Letter, to help you stick to your guns. Be friendly but firm, and establish the fact that a visit to your home is by invitation only.

While I was working in Germany in 1974, I married an Iranian. We had a son here in England in 1977. Due to different attitudes and backgrounds, we parted and he las now remarried. He remains friendly and this Christmas sent money and photos of his new family. As we were married in Iran under Muslim law he's allowed four wives, so I do not know if I am divorced or not. How can I find out?

DC Hull, North Humberside

I am sorry that your relationship ran into difficulties, but for your son's sake you must be glad his father still takes a practical interest. Love can blind one to the immense problems that crop up when people of different cultural backgrounds marry.

Try not to be upset. Believe me, after 13 years 1 hardly ever receive a letter that deals with a brand new problem, nor one that shocks in the sense you mean.

It's prepared by wives, girlfriends and friends who have all had experience of the problem of transvestism.

Last word As clothing adviser to the Disabled Living Foundation, may I add to the letter from the woman who had a mastectomy. Could you encourage manufacturers to include styles suitable for people who have had a mastectomy and/or ileostomy in their normal range of swimwear? The designs just need to have a high neck line, fit snugly under the arms and have adaptable cups. Highwaisted bikini bottoms or skirted swim suits are suitable for ileostomy patients.

These features do not limit the garments from looking fashionable. At the moment, the range is specialised and expensive.

If this is all that's filling your cavity walls, it's costing you £50 a year.

If you have uninsulated cavity walls,they're costing you at least £50 a year in wasted heat.

All that wasted heat doesn't disappear.

Some of it ends up trapped between the two brick walls. And turns the cavity between into a five star hotel for all the characters on this page.

Because it's sheltered. It's dry.

And thanks to you. it's also lovely and warm.

What cockroach could ask for more?

Cavity wall insulation saves you so much money it could literally pay for itself in just 3 years.

And you'll have a warm insulating blanket around your home instead of a breeding ground for lots of creepy-crawlies.

The Energy Efficiency Office has a free booklet which shows you how to save hundreds of pounds by insulating your home completely.

For instance, under £10 spent on a thick

tank jacket could easily save you £40 a year.

For a building society to offer that kind of return, they'd have to pay over 400% interest!
