TOO THRILLING
TELEVISION PLAYS DISTURB VIEWERS. Televiewers ’nave complained to the British Broadcasting Corporation that after sensational or macabre plays or: their home screens, ending late al night, their sleep is disturbed. The 8.8. C. has accordingly decided to end. the evening programme on a more soothing note. After a play there will be an interlude of soft music before the station “signs off.” Miss Evel Burns will play quiet piano solos, after the manner of Miss Cecil Dixon—“ Aunt Sophy”— who formerly provided interval music in the sound programmes and became known as "the pianist with the shy voice.” A detective play, with the cast composed entirely of women, was broadcast on February 22. It was called ‘‘Ladies in Waiting” and the action took place in a Yorkshire mansion.
