"ADVENTURES OF CLARA CHUFF"
Sir,-Being intrigued by your article on a new children’s feature, namely, The Adventures of Clara Chuff, I tuned in to its first throes the other evening. As I listened, I tried to guess who could be responsible for the almost consistent shouting of the dialogue, the feeble imitations of the more elementary English dialects, the clumsy, ill-managed sound effects, and the dull, plodding, unoriginal, uninspired and completely unsubtle routine production. Sad to say, "produced by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service" at the end conveniently shrouded the identity of the participants and the producer. Well may they hide behind this "blanket credit" in shame! The script appears to be one of those imported from the BBC, and it might be suggested that a better compliment could have been paid to its source by nostnoninge ite oraduction indefinitely.
