Why didn’t they air Scarborough show on TV?

By Reader's letter

ON Friday July 23, ITV1 Calendar News and BBC1 Look North gave us sneak previews of the reopening of the wonderful open-air theatre at Scarborough (the biggest in Europe, so we are led to believe) and talked to guest artists Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Carreras.

It really looked a spectacular setting with a fine evening in prospect; the full house audience could look forward to a great night.

What a pity neither BBC nor ITV chose to visit for the full programme and to show everyone this magnificent setting.

I think viewing figures would have been high and would have represented money well spent, instead of all these repeats.
