8.8. C. seeks solo TV talk with Princess of Wales

From DIANA DEKKER in London

The Princess of Wales will give her first solo television interview on the 8.8.C.’s breakfast-time programme, according to the “Daily Express.”

“Both the 8.8. C. and Buckingham Palace are being guarded about details, but the plan is to allow Diana her first public opportunity to speak for herself,” the paper said. Buckingham Palace told A.A.P. any formal written request from the 8.8. C. would be considered but the chances of the interview actually being approved were “low.”

“As yet we have no details of such a request... there has been nothing received here,” a palace spokesman said.

i “The 8.8. C. can write to the palace and the request

would be considered. However, it would be unlikely for the request to be approved.” If the prediction in the “Express” eventuates, the rival television breakfast programme, TV-AM, will have even more reason for gloom. The 8.8. C. has continued to improve its share of the breakfast-time television audience with a week-day figure of 1,600,000, up by 100,000. TV-AM’s ratings have stuck at 300,000. TVAM’s week-end programmes, unopposed by the 8.8. C., fluctuated last weekend. Saturday’s figure of 1,400,000 was 100,000 up but Sunday’s dropped from 700,000 to 400,000. A new editor-in-chief for TV-AM, Mr Greg Dyke, from London Week-end Television, began work at his new job this week.
