Television Preview
Tonight (Tuesday) on One from 7.30pm is the annual extravaganza from Hollywood, Oscar night, with movies 'Amadeus' and 'A Passage to India' tipped for most of the honours. After the success of Gandhi two years ago, it seems that films about India are all the vogue. A new six part serial starts Wednesday night on Two at 10pm. Missing from Home is the story of a woman who sees her husband off to work only to find later in the day that he has disappeared. Thus begins a period of despair as she searches fpr him. The star of the show, Judy Loe, is the widow of Richard
Beckinsdale who was Ronnie Barker's cellmate in Porridge. Don't anyone phone me on Thursday night at 7.30pm because I won't be answering the phone as there is a wedding on Coronation Street. Boring little Mavis Riley will take the walk up the aisle to marry the man of her dreams, but does happiness feature in her future? Later that evening, Alexis is in court on Dynasty, fighting for her freedom. She certainly has looked different without makeup for her prison scenes. On Friday night at 10pm Television One, a documentary tracing the development of the Nazi SS from 19231945.
I'm hoping that now winter is almost upon us, Sport on One on Saturdays may improve, as quite frankly we've been treated to some pretty boring stuff. lately. Sunday afternoon on Two, the new sports programme, Grandstand will from now on make full use of a satellite to bring us such highlights as the F.A. Cup semi-finals, Grand National from Aintree, and horse trials from Badminton featuring Mark Todd. It's a pity that Doug Armstrong is the host as I really think he is not suited, someone like Phillip Leishman would have been much better. Happy viewing.
