Hello, good knight, and welcome
Article Abstract:
Television interviewer Sir David Frost, 53, has mellowed his approach since the 1960's. Politicians are no longer considered self-sacrificing. His Sunday morning programme attracts big names. He helped devise the game show 'Through the Keyhole' which has a new series in March 1993. In Apr 1993 the audience participation show, the Frost Progrmme, resumes. He also has a monthly interview series in America and on BSkyB. He helped form two television stations, London Weekend and TV-am, which failed.

Why I'm sticking to my hosepipe
Article Abstract:
Many gardeners in the UK feel very resentful when water companies issue hosepipe bans during the summer, as they believe that they are being treated as though they are being irresponsible in their use of water. Non-gardeners approve of the ban, as they feel that water should not be wasted on gardens, which are not an essential aspect of life. However, gardeners object to being made to feel guilty simply for not wanting all the effort they put into their gardens throughout the year to be wasted.

We won the franchise. What next?
Article Abstract:
Meridian TV managing director Roger Laughton has to develop a publisher-contractor culture. Network programmes will be chosen by a central scheduler from any source; there will not be guaranteed placing for programmes as before, but most of the other ITV stations are producer-contractors. Meridian will only make local news and current affairs programmes. Programmes to appeal to the local audience will be commissioned.
