Solitary Vice
‘Two mornings each week 4YA_ presents episodes from its current serial, and the mornings chosen for this blot on our programmes are Wednesdays and Saturdays. While it is regrettable that the National Station should attempt to compete with the Commercial in the field of* purest melodrama-an unequal contest, since the ZBs give us both the greater variety and frequency-my main quarrel is with 4YA’s choice of Saturday for one performance. In some cases, half a serial may be better than none, but this has not applied in my experience to the antics of Steve, Star . and Stephanie, nor to the adventures of the stage-struck morons who give dubious life to Behind the Footlights running at present. And if to the Ménday to Friday worker a half-heard serial is an irritation, how much more so it must be to the housewife-addict to share her vice witha noisv
family instead of enjoying it in weekday peace.
