It has been a cloudy day. After noon Mike Walsh and Toni Lammond’s son, Tony, talked to Toni in the United States. She has been there for a year and two weeks and the viewer was shown a recent programme from the series, “Starsky And Hutch”, in which she appears as an older woman. Toni is singer, Helen Reddy’s sister.
From three o’clock I watched a really entertaining edition of “Mannix”, in which the private detective of this name homes in on the person, or persons, who is trying to kill him.
“Flashez”, at half past five, is compered, as per usual, by the Australian singer, Ray Burgess. On “Willesee”, at seven o’clock, one is treated to the sight of a builder of swimming pools, Ian Daley, running down the street at a breakneck speed and jumping a fence, in order to evade an interviewer and his cameraman. Talk about laugh!
“Decade Of Change”, a documentary, follows from half past seven. It traces the paths of soccer in England and West Germany, since the former defeated the latter to win the World Cup, in 1966.
“Policewoman” is followed by the final of the Scottish F.A. Cup — won by Celtic over Rangers by the solitary goal — and the movie, “The Secret Life Of An American Wife”, from 1968, whose cast includes Anne Jackson, Walter Matthau, Patrick O’Neal and Edy Williams.
