I DEAN MARTIN i What rot —Dean Martin on in the afternoon. I really; enjoy Dino and there is] plenty to do without watching TV for those who want; to. There are not many decent programmes on at night—why take Dino off? It is the last; programme, so if his critics do not want to stay up to. hear the next day's high-; lights, they can get to bed; an hour earlier. I can not; see why Dean Martin can not be on earlier. “Catchword" with all its errors would not be missed, “Fraud Squad” is; about as good as its name and “Marty" is as silly as he looks, so how about it? And give us something with a bit of go in it to fill in the rest of the evening.— POLLY OF ASHBURTON. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Please do not knock “Mission: Impossible.” At least we get an hour’s interesting viewing, ending with a job well done. We were heartily tired of Al Mundy’s monotonous one-tone voice, and of his pawing and kissing any female who spoke to him. Also that mod. odd bod. Jason King, with his sex life, before any action started. He was like a middle-aged ugly man looking for his lost youth and failing badly. Every time I looked at him he reminded me of my grandmother’s moth-eaten fur coat and hat that we were allowed to dress up in on rainy days. Action and less sex is what viewers want.— TV VIEWER.

"THE LOUDEST WHISPER" Friday evening films are very popular with school; children. After study and homework during the week they feel able Io relax and enjoy a good film. This film' was censored RlB several years ago at a cinema. What; concerns me is why a film of this nature would be shown' at 9.31 p.tn. on a Friday' when a great many viewers' are probably adolescents.' Many busy parents do not have the time to read all the programmes beforehand and decide what is suitable for their children. Therefore I feel the N.Z.B.C. has a res-( ponsibility in this matter. If: those understanding parents with “healthy-minded children” wish to view films unsuitable for their age group that is their affair. There are six Rl6-18 films on at city theatres at present to which they might like to take their children. ANXIOUS MOTHER. [This correspondence is ■now closed.]
