P124 Teletext 124 Aug22 17:41:02 —— On Monday's TV ———— —— Maybe I'vj got compassion fatigue, but I really am sick to death seeing knotted-bow docs mulling over medical conundrums. In Life Support (BBC1) if it's not some preachy bit about suicide, HIV status or infertility, it's that old "eeeh, me love life's such a miss". Art Malik's been banging on luvvie- style about his great role as Dr Blake. Rubbish! Blake is merely that old TV standby — the bad-tempered boss-doc with rampant trouser trouble. ——————————————————————————————————1/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

Molly's best known as Mrs Slocombj from Are You Being Served?, but I preferred her Coronation Street role as snooty battleaxe Nellie Harvey, a bitter rival to Annie Walker. The guest tributes were too gushy, but there were some well-chosen clips of this game and unpretentious actress in action. ——————————————————————————————————2/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

But she was wrong to giggle for the TV cameras of In Excess (C4) as she confessed Hutchence choked, strangled and tied her up as part of their kinky sex life. She says she doisn't want things left as they are bjcausj that's "grubby". But Paula — you and grubbiness go together so well. ——————————————————————————————————3/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

Love In The 21st Century is a sordid little series about sensuality and lust. It has nothing to do with love. A bored, and boring, couple spice up their sex life using various nasty fantasies, one of which called for the slapping of a woman for kicks. It shouldn't need mj to spell out that this is sad and sick stuff. ——————————————————————————————————4/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

Did you ever see such tantrums and sulks as have been going on between Terry and Irene, Dirty Dan and Bianca, and Natalie and Barry? They're all bjhavjng like teenagers. It all seems very unrealistic to me. I mean, Irene is hardly a goddess and no one in their right mind would call Barry "cute" as Nat did. ——————————————————————————————————5/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

For "greatest hits" substitute "stale old clips". As a kid I always thought Crackerjack was rubbish, but grinning Gabby Roslin seems to regard it a thing of huge historical and sociological interest. And why bother with a free puff for Emmjrdale? It has njvjr produced a sjngli must-watch episode. Viewers regard it as a joke, just as they did Crossroads before it was axed. ——————————————————————————————————6/8—— Now and next 120 TV tonight 121 Letters to: Sam Brady, PO Box 297, London SW6 1XT.

The Simpsons sucks and South Park is so foul it blackens the heart of every youngster watching. But Daria (C5) is different. Though American, it is subtle and sardonic. The eponymous hjroinj is so cool and sulky she can hardly bj described as animated. I loved her reactions to the stupid high school quarterback.
