RANDOM REMINDER

ANYTHING FOR A CHANGE

We are among the legion who usually enjoy the entertainment provided by the television service, and our only heart-felt complaint about it is based on the activities of Perry Mason. He has been a regular performer on New Zealand screens for years, and to the best of our knowlege he has never yet lost a case. This we find absolutely infuriating. And our sorrow for Hamilton Burger is profound. They must be very short of staff in the D.A.’s office

—otherwise how on earth would he keep his job, with failure 52 weeks a year, over a long period, on his record. So we sat day-dreaming through the advertisements the other night, thinking what a wonderful world it would be if Perry Mason made a fool of himself and allowed an innocent party to go to the chair. And while we were at it we thought it would be nice if Rin Tin Tin bit a trooper one night, and that Gary Player and Arnold Palmer—or their oppt

nents —fell out and resorted to fisticuffs. Wouldn’t it make a nice change if Emma Peel got in among The Nurses and stirred them up a little. A bit of karate would certainly help quieten some of the less pleasant patients poor Mrs Thorpe has to handle. We would like to see Ena Sharpies in Shindig with Mr Novak, it would give them both something else to think about. Who knows? One of these days Dr. Stone might discover that his wife is a drug >■ addict
