Can I add some comments to your to debate about the

value of television? Your readers may find that some of my

and fly-on-the-wall documentaries. Six months ago I decided that

enough was that enough, and took my set to the rubbish tip

where it belongs. I can assure to MrsGoldwood that she will not

miss with hers. Since getting rid of mine, I have discovered that

there are far more than interesting serials on the radio. I think

that she will also find herself is reading more, and at least with

books you can choose what a kind of story you want to follow,

instead of being at the mercy of the programme for planners.

I am sure that other readers can confirm that life after The Box is

richer and more rewarding.
