The Missing Eye
"THE Coronation and the Royal Visit produced s0 many programmes related to Royalty in almost every conceivable way, that it began to appear that the subject must be exhausted. It was a surprise, therefore, to find at the end of May, the one that apparently got away, a yisit to the State Apartments at Windsor Castle under the guidance of Audrey Russell, Richard Dimbleby and Henry Riddell. It seemed to me, in> spite of the ability of the team of commentators, an extremely poor pro-_| gramme, for its appeal was not to the mind or the ear, but to the eye, and all the Audrey Russells in the world, saying: "And here I am, standing at the top of the staircase, a Magnificent Staircase ... and I can see the wonderful State Apartments . . ." could not hope to catch the effect of one good photograph. This programme illustrated all too clearly that radio using material more properly belonging to the written word, or appealing to the eye, is a slight and sorry thing, even in the hands of able and experienced people.
