Press clippings

I wonder sometimes about TV audiences. There is a door at the BBC marked Witch Room Now, some would say that the initial "S" has fallen off. But I can say, a likely story. I think they keep three weird sisters in there and let them loose on comics like poor Gordon Peters (BBC1).

Of course I know Gordon Peters when I see him. He's thigummy, good old um... The sort of face you see in the street and say "Surely that's thingummy, good old um." He is, in fact, infinitely better than his show which is one of those situation comedies where characters tend to laugh rather a lot, nervously but noisily. Someone has to.
