DES BRITTEN The time Des Britten takes to demonstrate his cooking techniques gives me the opportunity to wash up the dinner dishes without feeling I am missing something on television. I can listen to his recipes, which are good, without having to watch him any more. The consenus of opinion in our family is that Des Britten is crude in his presentation. Does he have to handle the different ingredients so much when kitchen utensils should be used? He licks his fingers and doesn’t always wash them before handling other foods. Alison Holst was quietly comnetent and clean. Grahame Kerr was flamboyantly entertaining, competent and clean. Des Britten is just messy.—M.A.H. PRESENTATION The pompous arrogance of the new masters of radio and television amazes and somewhat alarms me. First we are told that the presentation of the weather bulletin on television is to revert to the old format but not because of public criticism —why not? “Breakfast Music’s” letter, expressing the views of a great many people, is brushed ; aside with a contemptuous statement that “the pattern of news, etc., is now a well established facet of the early morning national programme.” If.the public don’t lik'e it, why is no attempt made to dis-establish the pattern' s —WHO PAYS FOR WHOM?
