VIEWERS’ VIEWS

“JUSTICE” The ending of this excellent series will be a matter of real regret to adult viewers, to whom it was one of three programmes,

I suitable to the tastes I of people over 12 years old. The other two were “Sutherland’s Law” and “War and Peace”; but as the first is being replaced by the “Colditz Story” long suffering mature viewers have, at least, an acceptable alternative. The same can hardly be said of the series— presumably yet. another current affairs one of sorts — replacing “Justice”. I don’t hold with those correspondents who. regard their own pre- | judices against named items as overriding, but I do beI lieve that the general run of comedies and dramas to which we are being sub- • jected are unworthy of adult • viewing. — I.S.T.

1 AFTERNOON VIEWING I Why are afternoon programmes for the older generation being cut to one i hour only from June 16? To add insult to injury, there < will be the boring show “Pop I the Question” repeated three afternoons a week. For the • many folk unable to view [television in the evenings, it •will be a cold lonely winter. I note children’s programmes starting with “Play School” | will be shown from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Wee tots come home from play school to watch more play school. — | IRATE VIEWER. Rates. —Invercargill city’s [rates will rise 14.9 per cent •this year.—(PA.)
