HOW we all miss true variety shows on our TV screens.

The Rolf Harris 50 Years In Show Business Celebration at the Royal Albert Hall was a good example of it.

What a delightful, fascinating, brilliant show it was, and showed what a great all-round performer Rolf is.

Congratulations to Rolf, and I hope TV producers will take note that we need more great family entertainment on our screens and much less soap sex.

How can we expect our children and grandchildren to grow up with a healthy attitude towards sexual matters, when every friendly overture in EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale leads to the bedroom?
