Less expensive is yet another “camcorder clips” series modelled on the genre that continues to dominate American television schedules.Totally Out of Control will show clips of crashes, violent acts and scenes of wild weather in a style copied from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Television in America. But no commissions have come his way from that channel since Michael Grade was succeeded as chief executive by Michael Jackson in 1997.Julie Walters plays Mrs Mann, the workhouse manager, in Oliver Twist, and Lindsay Duncan plays the evil Elizabeth Leeford.Oliver Twist is costing ITV more than pounds 5m. All three of the stars of Oliver Twist appeared in Bleasdale’s GBH and Jake’s Progress on Channel 4. He is still Jewish, but you cannot represent Jewishness like that for a Nineties audience.”The clues for this more complex Fagin are all in the original novel,” added Mr Liddiment. “There he has an Eastern European background and has a natural ability that he has used as a conjuror. Alan, who is Britain’s greatest television dramatist, has simply brought his own imagination to bear.”Bleasdale said he had been waiting 25 years for a Dickens adaptation and that Oliver Twist would allow him to portray characters from all strata of British society.Bleasdale made his name as a television dramatist with Boys from the Blackstuff in 1982.

He is not simply the Shylock stereotype we have known in the past. “The popular version of Fagin is Ron Moody’s from the musical Oliver,” said Mr Liddiment, “which, to be fair, is Lionel Bart’s version of Fagin Our Fagin is less of a caricature. This new Fagin will have a past as a magician and a family life in Prague.David Liddiment, ITV’s director of programmes, said most people’s image of the Svengali controlling a gang of thieving street urchins came from films rather than from Dickens so the adaptation was legitimate. Robert Lindsay will play Fagin as a more complex character with a background and history developed by Bleasdale. The new seven-hour drama is Bleasdale’s first work since leaving Channel 4, where he made his name. It will form the centrepiece of the commercial channel’s first autumn season without News at Ten.
The so-called “Bleasdale players” – Robert Lindsay, Julie Walters and Lindsay Duncan – will take leading roles in the production.

THE DRAMATIST Alan Bleasdale is updating Charles Dickens’ Fagin character in an ITV version of Oliver Twist that will dump Ron Moody’s “singing Shylock” in favour of a more rounded, less stereotypical Jew. He will emphasise the BBC’s responsibility to counterbalance the dangers of the digital age, in particular the emergence of an American global culture which is already apparent on satellite and cable channels.The BBC must become a digital “civilising force” which will act as a a cultural guardian of British values, he will say, repeating his his calls for an increase in the licence fee.. He anticipates the possible emergence of an “information poor” who are unable to pay for the “quality of information, insight and entertainment” enjoyed by richer viewers.Sir John, who will be replaced by Greg Dyke next spring, will voice his misgivings in the New Statesman Media Lecture in London. THE DIGITAL age will increase social division and undermine national culture, Sir John Birt, the director-general of the BBC, will warn tonight. Sir John, who has invested millions of pounds of public money into the BBC’s digital technology, will stress that “significant difficulties” need to be overcome if people and organisations are to benefit rather than suffer from the multi-channel digital revolution.
In a speech on the social, political and cultural consequences of the digital age entitled “The Prize and the Price”, Sir John will say that the instant availability of the “raucous, the vulgar and the sensationalist” will degrade the British national culture.While millions shared in the experience of watching events such as the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Wimbledon final, the advent of multi-channel television could mean that fewer and fewer viewers watch the same programmes, Sir John will suggest.As viewers are forced to pay not only for sport or films but also drama and comedies, the digital age could increase social division, Sir John will say. An overhaul of the courts system for minors will see the time from arrest to sentence in England and Wales cut from 125 days to 71 days within the next 12 months..

But only 14 per cent of the respondents cited concern for the victims as the most important factor in persuading them not to take part in criminal activity.The board published the research with its first annual report, which claimed major successes in its attempts to speed the youth justice system. But the study also revealed a sizeable proportion of children who retained a deep respect for the law and a far more conservative attitude to sex, drugs and wild living than previous surveys.
Half the children surveyed said under-age sex was always unacceptable and seven out of ten questioned claimed that they could “say with absolute certainty” that they had never broken the law in any respect.Taking the drug ecstasy was seen as wrong by 84 per cent of youngsters and 71 per cent disagreed with taking cannabis.Respect for the law was reflected in the children’s fears of getting caught, with 75 per cent believing that a young person who stole a car was likely to be caught by the police. Mori researchers, who carried out the survey, found that 64 per cent of youngsters aged between 11 and 16 did not see under-age drinking as wrong and only 29 per cent thought that it was “always wrong” to use physical violence. FOUR IN 10 children aged 15 and 16 admit to having been involved in criminal activity in the past year, according to research released last night. A survey carried out for the Government’s Youth Justice Board found a high tolerance of under-age drinking and the use of violence as a means of retribution. I am sick to death of working in a healthcare system where we let patients down day after day,” Dr Neal said.The meeting of 550 representatives of 120,000 doctors voted overwhelmingly for motions condemning inequalities in the NHS and demanding that rationing decisions be based on an accurate assessment of patients’ needs and be subject to public debate..

The potash is useful for putting on the raspberries and at dusk on a cold afternoon the sparks are beautiful. But this year we have had more cold than wet, and the leaf problem remains insurmountable.A compost-shredder is probably the answer, but spending an afternoon feeding wet leaves into an ear-crushing machine is not appealing. We do have a leaf blower, which chews them up as it sucks them into a bag, but with wet leaves it cannot cope and that too is unacceptably noisy. As an experiment I am thinking of spreading the table-sized wodges between the raspberry canes, pinned under sheets of agricultural paper mulch If it works, I will boast about it later. Meanwhile, if anyone out there has an easy method of turning large wet leaves into a useful garden product, please let me know.Partly because of the leaves and partly because October was so lovely (flowers blooming, sun shining, birds singing) the garden went to bed late this year.

Like the child who had too good a time at the party, it ended in tears. When the moment to clear up finally came, it was too wet to get on to the beds to cut them down. The price of an extra fortnight in October, I suspect, should be weighed against the spectacle of brown stems and undone pruning for a wet, cold month or so. Some people (Christopher Lloyd always advocates it) leave border-clearing until spring, when the skeletons of plants are easy to carry away, but in smaller gardens I think the look of a tidy flower bed, with a few evergreens, is easier on the eye.

We usually do this in November and December, when the garden is not open to the public.In the first year we opened the garden, the visitors were a bonus. The best ones sat on seats to draw or paint and stayed for hours. The worst were the other garden-openers, who came waving free entry passes and walked around fast, looking for rare plants. The saints far outnumbered the sinners: other gardeners’ generosity is astounding.

When not appearing in movies, many of them can be found in Los Angeles.

What we’re talking about here is not Hollywood movie stars, but the artificial gold and paste gems at the LA offices of Joseff of Hollywood, Tinseltown’s most celebrated costume jewellers. Here, where appearance is everything and substance an optional extra, fake equals glamour; Joseff’s gems are as alluring today as they were in the golden age of the movies. In the 1930s and 1940s the company (owned by Joan Castle Joseff and founded by her late husband, Eugene) supplied the jewellery that decorated more than 3,000 Hollywood films, from Scarlett O’Hara’s wedding ring in Gone with the Wind, to the diamonds Marilyn Monroe sang about in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Today Joseff still rents out its collection to the movie industry and makes costume jewellery for the occasional big period production such as The Age of Innocence But fashions and films have changed.

Equally, he criticised teachers who lacked respect for ideas and for serious analysis of their task.The needs of language- learners themselves were Lee’s central concern. Textbooks and dictionaries for students, books of ideas and principles for teachers (on topics as diverse as language-teaching games and technical English) supplement-ed his work as an examiner. Only when new generations of professionals were ready to take over the institutions he had created did external recognition come, though the transition to newer leadership required considerable persuasion of someone whose energy and appetite for work had by no means diminished. His appointment as OBE in 1979 was a just reward for selfless effort, but he was prouder of passing his driving test in London at the age of 70.In his mid-eighties he was still campaigning to ensure recogni-tion by the British government for supporters of the English language overseas.

George Trevelyan was a teacher and public speaker of rare distinction. He thought that ideas literally “come alive” if spoken effectively. Trevelyan was born into a large family, then owners of the Wallington Estate in Northumbria.

In 1925 he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, to read History (in the family tradition). For a short spell he worked as a furniture craftsman at the Peter Waals workshops in the Cotswolds and later became a History teacher at Gordonstoun School, at that time pioneering radical education methods.
In 1947, Trevelyan was appointed Warden of Attingham Park, the first Adult Education College in Britain. At this time of post-war crisis, he was instructed by his local government appointees simply “to put heart back into the British people”. With extraordinary enthusiasm and dedication, he set up adult education courses both during the week and at weekends.Trevelyan cared passionately for the subjects he taught, which ranged from literature to history, architecture, music, drama and crafts. He included a summer school on the Historic Houses of Great Britain, courses on “Finding the Inner Teacher” and “Holistic Vision”, and a series on “Death and Becoming”.
