Caring big sister vs nagging aunt

Article Abstract:

ITV's new consumer programme 'We Can Work it Out,' presented by daytime television presenter Judy Finnigan, aims to show both the negative and the positive aspects of being a consumer. In this way, it will both compete with and be different from the BBC's 'Watchdog,' which has a more aggressive approach. ITV aims to focus on the practical, providing consumer information in a non-confrontational way. 'Watchdog' has been criticized in the past, and in 1996 to 1997 attracted more justified complaints to the BBC's in-house complaints unit than any other programme.

A tidy little earner, at last

Article Abstract:

The books, television programmes and related items featuring the children's characters 'The Wombles' brought very little income for author and journalist Elizabeth Beresford. She sold the scripts outright, and only retained copyright for the written word. She has suffered considerable financial hardship, and has been forced to work well past the age of retirement. 'The Wombles' is now being revived, and she is taking care to ensure that this time she benefits financially. She is also planning further stories for her other television creations.

The miracle of St Patrick

Article Abstract:

The Irish way of life is beginning to have great appeal in the UK, being regarded as relaxed and fun. This prompting the development of many products and services which have an Irish theme, with related advertising also focusing on the Irish way of life. In many cases, advertising portrays Ireland as being as much a state of mind as a place. Some observers are critical of this trend, especially if products are promoted on the basis of an Irish heritage when they have none of their own.
